How Compatibility Works
-
All Nuna PIPA car seats—including the PIPA RX, PIPA Aire, PIPA Aire RX, and PIPA urbn—attach securely with the appropriate Thule adapter.
-
On the Urban Glide 3 Single and Urban Glide 4-Wheel, the car seat mounts in the center of the frame.
-
On the Urban Glide 3 Double, the car seat mounts on the left seat only (when facing the stroller).
-
The recommended Nuna/Cybex/Maxi-Cosi adapter provides a click-in connection, while the Universal Adapter secures the car seat with a strap.
Important Safety Notes
-
Jogging with an infant car seat attached is not recommended.
-
Always consult your pediatrician before jogging with any child in a stroller.
-
Stroller compatibility is based on the adapter, not the PIPA model year.
-
The PIPA urbn, although baseless, attaches to the stroller the same way as other PIPA models.

FAQs About Using Nuna PIPA Infant Car Seats on Thule Urban Glide Strollers
Which Nuna PIPA car seats are compatible with the Thule Urban Glide?

No. It uses the same Thule Car Seat Adapter for Nuna/Cybex/Maxi-Cosi as the 3-wheel models.

Jogging with any infant car seat is not recommended. Check with your pediatrician about when it is developmentally appropriate to jog with your child.

Yes. Vehicle installation does not affect stroller compatibility—the PIPA urbn attaches to the stroller using the same adapter as the other PIPA models.
Do the Urban Glide strollers fold with the adapters attached?
The Urban Glide 3 Single and Urban Glide 4-Wheel typically fold with the adapter installed. Folding may vary for the double model or when using the Universal Adapter.
