Are Rava fabrics free of flame retardant chemicals?
Yes. RAVA has always included fabrics that are flame retardant additive free where the child sits. Additionally, from the fabric to the foam and beyond, each element in the Nuna Rava Convertible car seat is smartly sourced to be both flame resistant and contain no added fire retardant chemicals.
Does the Nuna Rava have cup holders?
Yes the Nuna Rava has two cupholders. They fold away when not in use. The belt path for the rear-facing position is behind the cupholder.
How do you put the cup holders down on Nuna Rava?
To put the cup holders down on the Nuna Rava car seat, push firmly with the palm of your hand on the cup holder with your wrist adjacent to the hinge. Rotate your palm downward to release the cup holder. When the Rava is new, it can be quite stiff to release the cup holder, but that will ease with time.

Does the Nuna Rava have a base?
The Nuna Rava does not have a removable base like the Nuna Pipa or other infant-only child carrier seat. The Nuna Rava is a Convertible Car Seat and has the base attached to the seat itself and the complete unit is installed in your car using the automobile seat belt (preferred installation) or the latch anchors typically included in your car.
Does the Nuna Rava have an expiration date?
Yes. The expiration date or useful life of the RAVA is 10 years after the date of manufacture. This information can be found on the bottom of your car seat.
Should I use a seat protector under my Nuna Rava to protect the vehicle seat?
No, it is not recommended to use a vehicle seat protector. The RAVA was designed with a smooth seat back and seat bottom, so using a vehicle seat protector is not necessary. Nuna does not recommend using any products or accessories that are not approved by Nuna. Adding a product or accessory could alter the effectiveness or performance of the RAVA if ever involved in a crash. We do not recommend placing any seat protector or other item under your RAVA.
What if my Nuna Rava is involved in a crash? Should I replace it?
- Whenever a crash takes place, you should always ensure that your insurance agent is aware that your car seat was involved so they can replace it through your claim.
- NHTSA Guidelines: NHTSA recommends that car seats be replaced following a moderate or severe crash in order to ensure a continued high level of crash protection for child passengers. Car seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a minor crash. View the actual NHTSA Guidelines here.
