When do I use or remove the Nuna Pipa Lite LX infant insert?

Use the head and body supports as needed for a snug fit on a small baby. For smaller babies, the low birth weight pillow sits in the back of the body support; remove it once you can get a snug fit without it (about 11 lb) by opening the hook-and-loop and pulling it out.

It depends on the model. The PIPA, PIPA rx and PIPA lite rx can be installed with or without the base. The PIPA lite, PIPA lite lx and PIPA lite r must always be installed on the base.
