How to clean Nuna RAVA? | Convertible Car Seat

Cleaning your Nuna RAVA car seat from time to time is a must! From crumb filled messes to major blow outs, we all know things can get a little messy!
It's important to make sure you're using the correct cleaning methods and materials. Using harsh chemicals on the harnesses could damage them and could reduce their safety benefits in a crash. It’s important to note that the harnesses on seats with no re-thread harnesses should never be removed during the cleaning process.

Disclaimer: 1000x easier than spot cleaning. After seeing this I had both of my car seats disassembled in 5 minutes and into the washer. I’ve had mine for 2 years and just now learning it can be washed!

[@serenab1161]

Warning: this video makes it look a lot easier than it actually is. 😅

[@andres3614152]

I broke a sweat or two and cursed a couple of times 😤

[@claudiasv8954]

Agree.. this is the 2nd time I wash the cover in over 4 years.. it's just too much of a hassle.. at least with the one I have..

[@taylormcw5056]

It was this easy for me

[@jonketo]

Yeah I don’t believe the tongue clips or whatever are actually secured on the side even if they sped up the video.

[@adeyemiogunkoya250]

This wasn’t as hard as you say it is

[@user-dc6vu4jl9e]

I see lots of comments saying it’s hard to put back together.. yes she makes it look easy 😂 I used a card to get the fabric back into place and this helped a ton! Hope this helps someone

[@adrianav1671]

Used a small flathead screwdriver 🪛 Zoomed through it and saved my nails!

[@hillary975]

It should not be this difficult to put a cover on a $500 car seat back on

[@MsToni-cy3in]

I paid almost 😅 $700! Totally agree !

[@itswhatever7264]

I would really expect an easier assembly and disassembly process for a luxury brand considering the price of this product. I truly am considering just getting rid of this seat because I can’t get it to look right after washing it and I’m afraid it isn’t safe. Nuna should make covers that snap or zip off like other car seat brands.

[@NunaGlobal]

[@Desirewestphal]

Yes! After the first time washing it, it never looked the same putting it back on!

[@taramason1292]

Agree! The only thing worse than reassembling one nuna is doing TWO! I should’ve researched easier cleaning car seats for my twins.

[@misschanelxxx]

@@NunaGlobal wow Nuna! “It’s whatever”! I would expect a nicer approach than this response, I have 3 of the car seats and it looks like a hassle to clean the seat, unfortunately milk spilled on the seat with the hot heat it smells disgusting now 🤮 not happy about the cleaning process and the disassembling process at all !

[@SW_Wilson]

@@misschanelxxx the user's name is "itswhatever". I made the same mistake too but then checked to make sure, lol

[@KesORhaN]

Y’all need to show detail at the 2:56 mark. The most difficult part of the install. How does the plastic piece feed in?

[@rose-alicetaylor4043]

Hey I’m having this problem now, did you ever Master it

[@michellematteson-richins9619]

Seriously this was the hardest part and they just gloss right over it haha

[@SuperMonkey3511]

Stuck on this step right now 😂

[@shewwy2011]

I struggled with this for a while, but learned to reach in from the underside of the cover to push on it to hook it to the screw. Much easier from the inside.

[@mewmew112]

Thank u so much. Was able to clean our car seat and reassemble perfectly.

[@TheKimdaesik]

Thank you so much for your video. It is beyond helpful! I wish i can hit like more than 100!

[@Glamorrous]

Don’t let the comments scare you. I was able to put it back on in under 10 min. The hardest part is at 2:37 but just tuck it in and move it around until you hear the screw go in the hole

[@amandacorona9644]

Thanks for this 😂 I just followed the video, disassembled it, tossed it all in the wash, then went to the comments and got instant anxiety

[@a13x916]

i was ready to throw in a towel, thank you so much

[@puhhhtrissha]

I wish they had a cleaning service where we just sent in the product.

[@gabbriellamckee2153]

Babyquip

[@vitocarlone61]

my 4 years old loves her nana rava car seat , it is very expensive however well worth every penny

[@exploder08]

Thank you for the video, this was super easy to disassemble and reassemble. Machined wash and just hung it up to dry. Took me less than 5 minutes to wipe down the car seat and reassemble it.

[@NunaGlobal]

Hello exploder08, thank you for your comment! We are glad that the video was helpful ;) Have a nice week, Mary from Nuna

[@sammoellering8162]

All the finer points of reassembly are skipped over in the video. Once you understand it it goes quicker, but this video doesn’t get you to that answer any faster.

[@michellematteson-richins9619]

This video quality is great but helpfulness is trash! Tricks o used for the two hardest parts 1. The side corners with the nailhead type button- put your hand on the outside and feel for the hole in the plastic piece. When you find it keep your finger on it while you use pressure to navigate it to the right spot while simultaneously tucking the rib into the grooves. 2. The horrid corners at the footrest- you will need a kitchen knife or spoon use the upper handle part so you don’t jab your fabric and ruin it. Pull the fabric down towards the bottom to semi thin it out. You must get the right angle or it will not cram back in place. Adjust your angle while pulling it and use your handle to jab it into place. It will be hard but doable it will feel immensely easier at the right angle. The plastic piece ticks in between but does not fold up into the crevice. At the very end of the corner if it feels like it’s bunched up look from where the footrest folds up and use your handle tool to squish it from that side. This is what worked for me. Good luck

[@mandig6138]

This video is a life saver... literally... Thank you! It is a little more difficult than it seems, but not the worst to get off.. 😊

[@Trump78]

Thank you for posting this video. Cleaned out baby’s Nuna today. 😀

[@rhookie7825]

The video is very helpful. I was nervous after reading the comments but I didn’t have any issue reinstalling the cover, I did not even need to watch the video for that. Delicate washed and delicate dried it (took longer to dry) but it came out like new. My rava is 2021 model if that helps.

[@ashleygirl949]

The instructions say to air dry only, no dryer.

[@sisiliat2929]

I am having hard time to put 2 flaps both sides near the calf support. They dont want to be tucked in. Help

[@leupang]

Video looks easier because the cover is little loose than actual cover. Mine was super tight when first dissemble and after wash, it shrinked a bit and it was almost impossible to put back on. I used my full power and almost ripped it. Makes me angry..

[@elidapacheco9536]

Are you able to detach from the base to clean under?

[@lennymaryana7786]

Hi, please make a video how to remove and replace the cover NUNA TRES car seat. Thanks

[@NunaGlobal]

Hello Lenny, thank you for your valuable feedback! We will take it to improve our channel :) Stay tuned! Mary from Nuna

[@j.d.saccociates3313]

Okay cool, the cover is clean but i got week old rank kid pee coming out of the base that i cant seem to clean out

[@druhunsaker5442]

Here to say, don't let the comments scare you!! It's not impossible (there was one tricky part that took me less than 5 minutes to maneuver the first time and then it was much easier on the other side) and my son's seat looks brand new (there is no bunching with the cover). Total effort on my part for a full clean (not including the time in the washing machine or the hang dry) was less than 30 minutes. ETA: I'm not a car seat pro. This is the first seat that I've ever disassembled and cleaned. It's possible that the angry people in the comments section were having a bad day or struggle with these kinds of tasks in general (if you're even halfway decent at putting together furniture you'll probably be fine). Also, everyone who wishes that the cover reattached with snaps or a zipper "because it's such an expensive seat and should be easier," consider that most people buying from this brand are looking for a combination of superior safety, quality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. The channel is a much more attractive way of attaching the cover and I personally would rather spend 5 extra minutes tucking the cover into the channel than have a big zipper around the seat. There are certainly plenty of other options to choose from if you prefer something different.

[@adriannavanoyen]

PLEASE make one of these for the Exec, the manual doesn't describe how to actually remove the cushions + cover under the maintenance section and my husband and I had to struggle with guessing our way through the process... at night... with a vomit-covered carseat thanks to our poor carsick child.

[@NunaGlobal]

Hi Adrianna, thank you for your message and feedback! It's very valuable and we passed it to the team. Best wishes, Mary from Nuna

[@waruixxd]

Haven't washed ours in 3 years, just found this video.......

[@briarpayne4006]

So where does it show how to wash in the area where the strap you pull to tighten harness? Since that’s apparently why majority of mums are at fault here for not cleaning their car seats properly which has caused uneven straps and fraying? 🤔

[@TWOSPOONS]

How do you dismantle when it has the bar that goes along the bottom?

[@m.montenegro9345]

Hi! How to clean a Pipa? Can I wash it into the washer machine too? Thnks!

[@NunaGlobal]

Hi Gabriela, thanks for your comment! You can find all the care instructions in the user manual! Let us know if you can't find it and we can help! Best wishes, Mary from Nuna

[@cloud37400]

Wheres the exec video?

[@aliciamichalitsianos3176]

How do you attach the leg rest hooks? Can you update the video to show?

[@NunaGlobal]

Hello Alicia, thank you for your message! Please DM us to nuna_usa on Instagram so we can help you better, you can also send us pictures so we can understand exactly what you mean :) thank you and have a great day! Mary from Nuna

[@thegrimmer]

I noticed that the "seams" running parallel to the thighs are not stitched, but literally wide open for food and other debris to easily fall into the interior of the seat. In practice, does this get out of hand with rotting food inside the seat? Or do you have to go through this whole disassembly process constantly?

[@NunaGlobal]

Hi there! Thank you for your message. This is designed this way for ease of installation and access to our true tension doors. We have not heard of any issues with this but if something were to end up falling through there you would not need to disassemble the entire seat you would just simply lift up the bottom flap and remove any food or debris. If youhave any additional questions or want to speak with an agent, you can contact us at 855-686-2872, or chat with one of our agents through our website! Best wishes, Mary from Nuna

[@Skagamaster]

My baby had a spill proof cup that wasn't; now I'm in the hell of getting curdled milk out of that cavity.

[@MrHeuristics]

Welp, I've got a few days of cleaning ahead of me.

[@breathe8282]

Imagine if this was as easy as they made it look on the video! This is AWFUL. Putting this back together is an absolute nightmare and I really expect A LOT more given the price of this carseat. I've been without a carseat because getting this back together is IMPOSSIBLE. I even bought a NEW insert because I thought maybe somehow air drying it outside made it shrink. Nope. This is just a horribly difficult product to reassamble. I'm really disappointed. I've also spoken with a handful of people in customer service and they all say "oh that weird plastic piece that serves no purpose, yea that slips right in" - uhhh no, no it does not. I hate this carseat.

[@beccaisonnn]

Do everything in your power to NOT have to take the car seat apart. It is NOT this easy to put back together 😩

[@frankhansen190]

Those plush Carseats realy will keep your child safe and keep your child snuggled.

[@ZachariahGallos]

Putting the pads back on is the single hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Presumably I'm expected to simply buy a new seat if it ever gets dirty?

[@Cabalist3131]

What a comfortable life you must lead

[@janelledigilio1584]

I have sent you a DM on Instagram with a problem I’m having with reinstalling my Nuna Rava. Please help. Thank you.

[@NunaGlobal]

Thank you Janelle for sending us the DM! We'll go on the conversation on Instagram ;) Best wishes, Mary from Nuna

[@isaguell]

This is super misleading. Putting this thing back together is so hard

[@NunaGlobal]

Hi Isabel, thank you for your message. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our user experience and product quality. In case you need any support putting the car seat parts back, you can always contact Nuna USA customer service: [e-mail]. The team will be happy to assist you. Have a great weekend, Mary from Nuna

[@Disisluke50]

This is not accurate like at all. There are straps that are connected to the headrest that make it impossible to remove

[@GMS222]

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE TO PUT BACK TOGETHER! Omg I’m beyond frustrated - don’t do it!

[@tulipsniper4572]

For such a high priced car seat it would have been super helpful to have multiple cameras with different angles to show what was being done behind the seat. You just have to guess what’s happening in the back with her hands. She’s doing something back there… figure it out. I did eventually after about the 4th time I washed mine. Thumbs down for the bad video

[@katie-cs3kp]

So. Friggin. Hard. To. Reassemble. I won’t be purchasing or recommending this seat again. It is impossible to reassemble- the video is incredibly misleading. Do a better job, Nuna. It’s a $500 seat.
