There are a variety of car seats designed for different height and stages of your child's development.

If you have a newborn, you'll need an infant car seat for their first journey home. This type of car seat is installed rear-facing in the car since this is the safest position to protect their head, neck, and spine. Our infant car seat, the Bugaboo Otter by Nuna, is the ideal early-stage solution for your child. It’s packed with safety features, including a robust outer shell, energy-absorbing foam bonded to the shell, and Tailor tec™️ memory foam in the headrest for superior side-impact protection. It features three recline positions from upright to 157° lie-flat, which work on your pushchair, our 360 Base, or in your car with the seat belt. The Bugaboo Otter by Nuna can also be part of a travel system, since it clicks onto your Bugaboo pushchair for a seamless transition between car and pushchair. Separate adapters are needed for this set-up.

This car seat supports your baby until they're 87 cm or 13 kg — whichever comes first. If you use the Bugaboo Otter by Nuna with our 360 Base, you can switch it out for the Bugaboo Owl by Nuna using the same base. The Bugaboo Owl by Nuna is our convertible car seat that adapts to your child's growth, accommodating them from birth until they’re 105 cm or 18 kg — whichever comes first. It comes with an infant insert, a head support, and a body portion to fit smaller children and keep them comfortable in the car seat.

It's designed to give your passenger next-level protection with a side-impact pod, Tailor tech™ memory foam in the headrest, and a heavy-duty shell. Use the Bugaboo Owl by Nuna with our 360 ISOFIX base, which offers a full 360-degree rotation. This allows for quick pivoting between rear and forward-facing, as well as convenience in daily use when getting your child in and out of the car.

Both the Bugaboo Otter by Nuna and the Bugaboo Owl by Nuna are compatible with the Bugaboo 360 ISOFIX Base, ensuring your car seat is always securely and properly installed. This base also offers additional security, as crumple zone in the stability leg helps absorb energy during impact. Its features swivel convenience, making it easy to access your child from any angle. Check the vehicle fitting list on our car seat product page for a full compatibility list.

Before installing, always review the product user manual and your vehicle handbook. First, position the base in your car. Click both ISOFIX connectors into the vehicle's ISOFIX anchor bars. Push the base back until it touches the vehicle's seat. Ensure the stability leg is in full contact with the car floor. Then, click your car seat on the base. All safety indicators will show green when it's properly connected. Once your base is anchored to the car, the click-and-go system lets you lift your car seat in and out with ease.

You can also choose to use the Bugaboo Otter by Nuna without a base, by using a 3-point retractor safety belt.

Yes, Bugaboo car seats are compatible with the ISOFIX system when used with our 360 Base. The ISOFIX system allows you to install car seats using built-in anchors in your vehicle instead of seat belts.

Our car seats feature removable, machine-washable fabric covers and inserts, making it easy to clean up after any mess. Wash the soft goods in cold water (below 30°C) on a delicate cycle, and hang dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, iron, bleach, or dry clean.

The car seat shell, handle, and harness straps can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The buckles can be rinsed with warm water, but do not use any soaps, solvents, or lubricants. Be sure to thoroughly air dry.

Always consult the washing label for exact instructions. If you're not using the car seat for an extended period, remove and store it in a cool and dry place, away from the reach of children.
