Frequently Asked Questions - Pipa Klik Nuna

How do I install the Nuna Pipa Klik with a seat belt?

Place the base on the vehicle seat, route the lap-sash belt through the belt path, and ensure both lap and shoulder belts are under the blue lock-off. Push the base firmly into the seat and tighten the belt. Then secure the lock-off and check the bubble level indicator is within the correct range.

Can I use the Pipa Klik with ISOFIX connectors?

Yes, if your vehicle has ISOFIX low anchorages. Swing the ISOFIX connectors forward, attach them to the anchorages, and ensure they click. Always use the top tether strap as well. Refer to the manual for proper installation.

How do I adjust the shoulder strap height?

Remove the child from the seat. Loosen the harness, turn the carrier over, and unhook one shoulder strap from the splitter plate. Pull the strap out of the current slot and rethread it through the slot nearest to but above your child's shoulders. Reattach to the splitter plate and repeat for the other side.

What is the correct way to secure my baby in the seat?

Place the child in the seat, bring the harness straps over the shoulders, and fasten the buckle. Ensure the buckle tongues click. Tighten the harness by pulling the adjuster strap until snug. The straps should lie flat without twisting and fit firmly around the child's waist and shoulders.

How do I clean the seat cover?

Remove the cover according to the manual. Wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Hang dry in the shade. Avoid twisting to prevent wrinkles. Plastic and metal parts can be wiped with a mild soap and water.

Can I use the Dream Drape while in the car?

No, the Dream Drape is for out-of-vehicle use only. Using it in the car can interfere with the top tether strap and reduce safety.

How do I attach the Pipa Klik to a Nuna stroller?

You need Nuna adapters (sold separately). Follow the instructions included with the adapters. The car seat has a stroller release handle at the back for attachment.

What should I do if the buckle doesn't click?

Check for dirt or debris. Clean the buckle by rinsing with warm water only. Do not use soap or solvents. If the problem persists, contact the retailer or Babyhood for inspection or replacement.

When should I move my child to the next size car seat?

When your child's shoulders reach the shoulder height marker line on the seat (approximately 6 months of age), it is time to transition to a larger restraint. A convertible rear-facing seat that can be used longer is preferable before moving forward-facing.

Is the infant insert necessary for safety?

The infant insert is optional and provides a snug fit for smaller babies. It includes an extra foam pad for very small infants. Remove the insert once the baby outgrows it. The shoulder pads and head liner are also removable and not required for safety.

The Next Restraint

This restraint is suitable for a baby up to approximately 6 months of age. When the baby's shoulders are level with the shoulder height marker (see page 14) they should move to a bigger restraint.

NOTE: although children from approximately the age of 6 months can move to a forward facing restraint, it is preferable if they move first to a convertible style restraint which has been approved for use rearward facing up to the age of approximately 12 months.

Then when the child reaches that age they can change to a forward facing position

The next category of restraint is forward facing and has a six point harness and will be suitable for the child until they are approximately 4 years of age.

Installation — General

Where to install the child restraint?

Only install child restraint in a forward facing vehicle seat. Never install in a seat that faces the rear or the side of the vehicle.

Install in the rear seat, the safest place is normally the centre.

This is a rearward facing child restraint. Do not install facing sideways or forward.

The base can be installed on vehicles seats fitted with either a lap belt or a lap/sash belt or ISOFIX anchorages.

To install correctly the vehicle must be on a level surface.

IMPORTANT: Correctly positioning the child restraint is important to ensure that in the event of a crash the restraint can offer maximum protection.

1 Position base on a forward facing vehicle seat. Use recline adjustment to position bubble in indicator.

Adjust base so bubble is between the black patches.

2 Use recline adjustment, if needed, to achieve correct angle for installation. Recline adjustment foot snaps into position.

IMPORTANT: Any extra padding placed under the base must be firmly folded so that when the vehicle belts are pulled up tight, the base is secure.

Installation — Vehicle Belts

Place the base on the vehicle seat and route the vehicle belt through the opening in the base labeled ‘Belt Path’ and buckle the vehicle belt. Both the shoulder and lap belt must be under the blue lock off.

Push the base into the vehicle seat firmly and pull the vehicle belts TIGHT before locking them in place.

REARWARD FACING BELT PATH

Use the Belt Path labels as a guide for correct belt placement.

IMPORTANT: Always secure the base with a vehicle belt, even when the restraint is not fitted to it. An unsecured base may be dangerous in an accident or sudden stop.

Check

1 Vehicle belt is securely engaged in buckle.

2 Vehicle lap belt or lap/sash belts are correctly positioned in the lock-off.

3 Vehicle belt lock-off is securely engaged.

4 Level indicator bubble is fully in the clear area.

IMPORTANT: Vehicle Belts must be pulled tight. DO NOT have any slack in the belts.

Installation — ISOFIX Compatible Connectors

IMPORTANT: ISOFIX compatible connectors are an option and may not be fitted to your product.

General

Some vehicles are fitted with low anchorage points specifically designed to allow connection by suitably equipped child restraints.

These are generally known as ISOFIX low anchorage points are found at the bottom of the back seat backrest.

If the ISOFIX low anchorage points are not clearly visible the vehicle seat will be marked with appropriate labels to show their location.

These vehicles are marked with symbols adjacent to the location of the anchorage points.

If in doubt that the vehicle is fitted with such points check the vehicle Owners Manual.

Some vehicles sourced from the USA may be marked LATCH.

ISOFIX and LATCH low anchorage points are identical.

See general installation instructions on page 23 & 24.

1 Some models come with guides for the ISOFIX compatible connectors. These are for use in cars where the anchorage bar is recessed a long way into the seats and once fitted will help guide the ISOFIX connector into place.

2 To use these:

• locate the position of the ISOFIX low anchorage,
  • slide the guide in until it contacts the steel rod
• allow the guide to push up until it is secure on the steel rod.

3 Swing the ISOFIX compatible connectors forward to their operating position.
4 Attach each connector to the vehicle ISOFIX low anchorages.

WARNING

IMPORTANT Do not attach the lower attachment connectors of two separate child restraints to the same ISOFIX low anchorage in your car.

Always attach the top tether strap to the child restraint upper anchorage in your car.

Child restraint lower attachment connectors and the ISOFIX low anchorages in your car are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by a correctly fitted child restraint.

Storage — ISOFIX Compatible Connectors

Store the ISOFIX compatible connectors by pressing the release button under the base and swinging them back until they are snugly alongside the base.
