Nuna Pipa Car Seat Review

Considering a car seat for your little one? Here is my review of the Nuna Pipa Car seat from Nordstrom.

While I was pregnant with Phoenix, I did a lot of research in regards baby gear, especially car seats. There are so many things you need to think about when you are pregnant but some are more important than others. A car seat is one of the most important purchases to make or things to register for so I wanted to be sure I picked the right one.


I talked to family, friends and to The Crystal Press community on Instagram to find out first hand reviews of different models of infant car seats. As I did more research, I narrowed it down to 2 different car seats the Nuna Pipa and the UPPAbaby Mesa. Once I had it down to these two, I asked my community and the one that came back more highly recommended was the Nuna Pipa.

( I will never be over Phoenix dressed up in his first Ralph Lauren baby button down. Ever since this purchase, I have become completely obsessed with Ralph Lauren baby boy clothes. Look at what I linked below and tell me that you don’t agree!!!! )

Not only is the Nuna car seat one of the lightest car seats on the market, it has also been rated by Consumer Reports as the safest. The PIPA I have can be used in any vehicle and if you choose to purchase the model with the base, it takes one easy click to get the car seat in and out of the car.  Which is a must when you are trying to navigate life with a new baby!

I love the look of this Nuna Pipa car seat ( I have the caviar color) , it’s safety features, and how functional it is. It was easy to seamlessly transfer from the car to the stroller to the living room. I give this car seat a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it, especially after using it for 6 months with baby Phoenix! (see my no bullshit birth story here)

Our Outer Banks Photo Journal

Late summer getaway in Corolla, NC

outer banks the crystal press

Catherine has been taking full advantage of her summer at her family’s beach house in the Outer Banks and to say I have been jealous of all of her weekends away is an understatement! Phoenix is growing into the cutest little beach babe and I was so thrilled to be able to spend a weekend at the beach with these two.

Our September trips in the past meant New York Fashion Week, events, shows, photo shoots and either air or train travel. Sure, we miss the energy of the city, but I think I speak for both of us when I say that our lives have changed for the better since the arrival of Phoenix and Catherine’s motherhood adventure. Let’s be clear, we still know how to have fun!! Beach days, bare feet and beer gardens made for a much needed girls weekend away.

ARTIPOPPE CARRIER THE CRYSTAL PRESS

I am not going to lie, I felt the biggest sense of relief when I was introduced to the brand Artipoppe for baby carriers. As someone who has an obsession with all things fashion/outfits/style and isn’t afraid to say it, I knew the baby carrier thing was going to be an issue. Most of the baby carriers in the market are not ones that I am particularly excited about. However, my friend Ally introduced me to this brand Artipoppe and IT WAS LIFE CHANGING. There are so many cool prints available on Artipoppe, a unique brand started by a mom who saw this exact hole I’d been feeling in the market. I know they are pricey but believe me when I say the comfort, quality, and craftsmanship of these Artipoppe baby carriers make them a work of art and SO worth the price.

Must-Have Summer Accessory for Little Ones: Babiators

Thanks to Babiators for gifting us some sweet sunnies & The Brushies to share with our friends & followers.

I mean is there anything cuter than a baby in sunglasses? I’ll wait……

What’s better than just sunglasses on a baby? Quality, stylish and safe sunglasses! Enter: Babiators. From newborn to age 10+, Babiators makes some seriously adorable sunglasses that help to protect children from UV exposure. Children’s eyes are much more vulnerable to the sun and if you start them wearing sunglasses at a young age, you can help prevent damage.

Babiators tells us that : “If babies and kids spent just 30 minutes a day wearing Babiators and Aces, their eyes would gain 3,000+ hours of UV free time!”
