2019 Nuna RAVA vs. 2018 Nuna RAVA Fabrics

Starting with the 2019 version, the Nuna RAVA is one of the only convertible car seats on the market without any added flame retardant chemicals (joining the merino wool versions of the Clek Foonf and Fllo and the UPPAbaby Knox, debuting in summer 2019).

The 2019 Nuna RAVA is made with fabrics blended with polyester and bamboo, a natural, moisture-wicking fiber that helps keep your child cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Additionally, bamboo has the added benefits of being antibacterial, hypoallergenic and environmentally-friendly—all while being super-soft and comfortable for your child.

The new fabrics are naturally fire-resistant, unlike the majority of car seats that are treated with flame-retardant chemicals in order to meet federal flammability regulations.

According to a 2018 study by the nonprofit Ecology Center's Healthy Stuff program, 80 percent of the car seats tested contained chemical additives that have been associated with a range of health effects and environmental concerns.

While exposure to flame retardants has not been directly correlated with health conditions, some experts are concerned that chemicals in car seats can break down and allow children to touch or inhale harmful toxins.  

2019 Nuna RAVA vs. 2018 Nuna RAVA Price

For the 2019 model, Nuna is not increasing the price of the RAVA, which remains at $449.95.

The Verona version of the RAVA costs $50 more, at $499.95, because of its premium herringbone tweed fabrics.
