Is the Nuna RAVA next in Cedar worth the money?

Yes. The Nuna RAVA next in Cedar is worth considering if you want a convertible car seat with a simple seat belt installation, long rear-facing use, and premium materials. It includes True tension doors, a no-rethread 5-point harness, magnetic buckle holders, moisture-wicking fabric, and materials with no added fire-retardant chemicals.

Is the Nuna RAVA getting discontinued?

The original Nuna RAVA is being retired and replaced by the upgraded RAVA next. This Cedar model is the RAVA next, so it has the updated design, newer parent-friendly features, and certification to the latest side and frontal impact standards.

How long can a child stay in the Nuna RAVA next?

The RAVA next can be used rear-facing from 5 lbs. to 50 lbs. with the vehicle seat belt, or from 5 lbs. to 35 lbs. with lower anchors. It can be used forward-facing from 30 lbs. to 65 lbs. with the vehicle seat belt, or from 30 lbs. to 40 lbs. with lower anchors. Your child also needs to fit within the height limit for the mode being used.

Can a newborn use the Nuna RAVA next?

Yes. The RAVA next can be used from 5 lbs. in rear-facing mode when the baby fits correctly in the harness. The infant head and body inserts are removable as your child grows. Always check the manual for the correct insert, harness, and recline setup.

Why are so many parents buying Nuna car seats?

Parents usually choose Nuna for the installation, fabrics, design, and extended rear-facing limits. With the RAVA next, the True tension doors help with a tight seat belt install, the harness adjusts without rethreading, and the materials contain no added fire-retardant chemicals.

What changed from the original RAVA to the RAVA next?

The RAVA next keeps the same basic rear-facing and forward-facing purpose, but updates the seat with magnetic buckle holders, larger 3 inch cup holders, an updated infant insert, added comfort details, and certification to FMVSS No. 213a and 213b.

Is the Nuna RAVA next an all-in-one car seat?

No. The RAVA next is a convertible car seat, not an all-in-one car seat. It works rear-facing and forward-facing. It does not turn into a belt-positioning booster.

What comes after the Nuna RAVA next?

After a child outgrows the RAVA next by height or weight, the next step is usually a booster seat. Your child needs to fit within both the height and weight limits to keep using the RAVA next.

Can I install the RAVA next with both LATCH and the seat belt?

No. Use one installation method, either the vehicle seat belt or the lower anchor belt. Do not use both at the same time. In forward-facing mode, use the tether when your vehicle has an approved tether anchor and the manual allows it.

Why do people like the RAVA install so much?

The True tension doors help tighten the vehicle seat belt during installation. The seat also has colored belt path indicators to help with correct belt routing. Always check the car seat manual and your vehicle manual after installation.

Can the Nuna RAVA next fit three across?

The RAVA next has a slim design that can fit three across in many mid-sized vehicles. Actual fit depends on your vehicle, the other car seats, and the seating positions.

Does the RAVA next recline?

Yes. The RAVA next has 4 rear-facing and 4 forward-facing bubble-free recline angles. Use the recline allowed for your child’s size, mode, and installation.

Can the Nuna RAVA next fabric be washed?

Yes. The fabrics and inserts are machine washable. Follow the manual for removing, washing, drying, and reinstalling the fabric pieces.

Are the Nuna RAVA next cup holders removable?

Yes. The RAVA next includes spacious 3 inch flip-open cup holders. They are removable and washable.

Is the Nuna RAVA next approved for airplane use?

Yes. The RAVA next is FAA-certified for aircraft use. Always check the seat label and follow the manual for aircraft installation.
