Nuna Pipa Questions (NZ)

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Nuna Pipa and base to use in grandma's car (we have DS in an Evenflo DLX in our car, so I'm a newbie to using an infant seat).
I haven't been able to find a height limit for the Nuna Pipa, does anyone have any ideas or advice about this? My boy is tall for his age and I'm hoping he won't outgrow it too quickly!
My other question is about the position of the carry handle when the seat is installed - I know there are different rules for different seats about whether the handle can be up or not, does anyone know the rules for this particular seat?

Thanks so much.

Edit: Ok, I managed to find a manual online (my seat hasn't arrived yet, so I didn't have one to look through). I've answered the question about height (81cm) and it said the handle could be in any position as long as it wasn't touching the interior of the vehicle. But I did read something interesting which was that the base could be installed using both LATCH and the seatbelt with lock off at the same time - does this seem right? Or have I mis-interpreted it?

Make sure to read your vehicles' manuals as well to make sure usage of both is not prohibited. If its not allowed there, then I would just use one way to secure the seat and call it good. :)

Thanks for the replies. I'm not familiar with rigid latch set ups and I will definitely check the car manual to be sure. It does seem a little unnecessary to use both.
It's not a car seat that was even on my radar so I know very little about it, but it had the seatbelt lock off feature in the base which isn't on many seats here in NZ - that I know of.

Does anyone have any experience of this seat with bigger babies?

I've played with one a bit in my tech class and it looked to have a generous shell with lowish bottom slots (granted I didn't have the experience I have now). The install was seariously beautiful. I love the seatbelt lock off, so much easier than the graco one if you only have one free hand!

I hope you love your seat!

Cool, I was hoping the install would be easy. I've never used a seat with a lock-off, only locking clips and they can be a real pain. Since it's going to be in grandmas car I really want it to be as easy to get right as possible. It should arrive tomorrow and I can't wait to try it out!

Thanks for all the help!
