New parenting math says that with every 10 hours of sleep lost you actually gain a piece of baby gear. Kidding aside, bringing a baby into the world means acquiring tons of equipment. Whether you’re a bare minimalist or a major collector, the baby gear checklist has a few key items that are absolute essentials (think car seat, a place for baby to sleep and easy ways to transport kiddo around). Stave off decision fatigue and streamline your choice by getting to know Nuna, a Dutch brand with a core collection of gear that is designed around your life. For more than twelve years, Nuna has been designing safe, intuitive products that look and function beautifully. Here are three worth a close look.

A Car Seat That’s as Light as It Is Safe: Nuna PIPA lite
Choosing your baby’s car seat is like picking out a second home. You know your little one will be spending a good amount of time in there, so you want it to be both comfortable and safe. The Nuna PIPA lite delivers both, with the added bonus of increased portability. It weighs only 5.3 pounds*, making it the lightest, most convenient car seat available. Crafted with high performance materials like aerospace aluminum and a steel reinforced base, the PIPA lite is durable and protects baby whether you’re driving around town or across the country. Its innovative Aeroflex foam component minimizes impact by absorbing and diffusing energy. And micro-knit fabrics create a soft, cozy spot for all-weather trips throughout baby’s first year and beyond.
