Nuna Pipa installation

Hello all,

My sister is expecting her baby any day now and we had some questions regarding the installation of her seat, the Nuna Pipa, with her car, the Audi Q5. First, we read that the bubble should be touching the black like but below the line not above for a newborn. Is this correct? Also, in her car there is a “hump” below the center seat so the installer didn’t use the load leg. Is it safer to keep the baby in the center without the load leg or to install the seat in the left or right side passenger seats with the load leg? She is worried because she was told the infant seat needs to always be in the center for safety.

Hi there.

You don't use the load leg if you can't get it to work with the hump on the floor. You tuck it under. You'll just use the seatbelt, no lower anchors or load leg.

The center is statistically the safest place in the vehicle, but not at all required. If she would rather use the lower anchors and load leg, she can most certainly move the baby to a side.
