My wife and I are expecting our first baby this August, so we’ve been checking out infant car seats. She really liked the Nuna Pipa infant car seat, so we went to a local store to test-fit the base in our car.
After several tries, we couldn’t get the latches to reach the metal bars in the back seat to lock in place. Later, I came across a Model Y group thread mentioning that the latches can be extended—but now I’m not sure if we had already extended them when we tried.
Has anyone successfully installed this car seat in a C40? Any tips?
Here is the [thread] (https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/s/nYNny5Xxah)
I have the nuna pipa lite car seat that requires a base for installation. We currently have the seatbelt installation AND the LATCH system (which they call UAS) set up. Both at once.
On the manual it says “It is acceptable to install with both UAS (lower attachments) and the vehicle belt.”
Now my question is: can I install the base using the seatbelt only?
[edit: in my opinion, the manual implies it’s okay to use both systems but it’s not a requirement. Which would mean using either option on its own is also fine. Am I reading this right?]
It took us foreeever to get the LATCH system set up in our car and it was my husband who managed to do it. I will be going on a trip with baby (husband will stay home) in which I’ll have friends and family drive me around. I’ll be in at least 3 different cars during this trip. I don’t want to install the latch in every single car if it’s not necessary. If I can get away with using just the seatbelt I’d like to do that.
Will this be safe? Or should I do both?
