When it comes to baby gear, nothing compares to Nuna's lineup of strollers and car seats, and its latest launch—which is available exclusively at Nordstrom—is no exception. So if you have a baby on the way, or are shopping for someone who does, you'll want to get acquainted with the new Nuna SWIV + PIPA urbn travel system ($1,300), a cutting-edge combo that's made for parents on the go. Not only does the car seat support children from 4 to 30 pounds, the stroller accommodates children up to 50 pounds, meaning the pieces can take your kiddo from infancy to toddlerhood without missing a beat. But that isn't the only thing that makes this set so special.

Allow me to give you a rundown of all its bells and whistles because, yes, there are lots to jump up and down about. First up, there's the fact that the PIPA urbn car seat is exceptionally lightweight, clocking in at only *7 pounds.* (Am I imagining it or did your back and biceps just let out a big sigh?) It also features the brand's advanced pipaFIX rigid latch, a baseless installation feature that makes it quick and easy to lock in without an adapter, so you can hop from car to car in a snap (literally).
While I think that's reason enough to nab it, it might help to know that your little one will love the car seat's merino wool blend and Aeroflex foam, which diffuses energy so they don't feel every bump and turn when you're driving. The Sky drape, which keeps them protected from the sun, is just the cherry on top. But that's only half of what this travel system brings to the road.
