Our tester, a mother of a 7-week old baby, found that the Pipa Urbn was simple to use and well-designed. The sturdy seat is light and comfortable to carry even when loaded with a sleeping Newborn Car seat. It also has a number of features that are convenient and comfortable like the air-tight Dream drape, which pulls out of the canopy smoothly and is attached quietly to the car seat for privacy, and a full-coverage UPF 50+ canopy with a flip-out eyeshade and XL peekaboo window.

Our baby test was able to fit into the urbn with ease at three months old and still has the space to grow. He's still a little small for the top harness slot but he's almost surpassing the size of the urbn in terms of weight and height, and has almost an inch of headroom in the size at present.
