- 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.

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
Used a small flathead screwdriver 🪛
Zoomed through it and saved my nails!
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!
Both disassembled in 5 minutes? That's 2 1/2 minutes each. Doubt it. I could make a living betting against your claims.
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.

Yes! After the first time washing it, it never looked the same putting it back on!
Agree! The only thing worse than reassembling one nuna is doing TWO! I should’ve researched easier cleaning car seats for my twins.
@@Nuna-Baby 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 !
@@misschanelxxx the user's name is "itswhatever". I made the same mistake too but then checked to make sure, lol
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?
Hey I’m having this problem now, did you ever Master it
Seriously this was the hardest part and they just gloss right over it haha
Stuck on this step right now 😂
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.
@@shewwy2011super helpful tip!!
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
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
It should not be this difficult to put a cover on a $500 car seat back on
I paid almost 😅 $700! Totally agree !
I got a deal at $450. Lucky me, but for the money you'd think their helpful video would be more helpful. Such as: don't hide the part where you remove the bands; the rubberbands holding the recliner. I can't get them off! (part A)
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.
Warning: this video makes it look a lot easier than it actually is. 😅
I broke a sweat or two and cursed a couple of times 😤
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..
It was this easy for me
Yeah I don’t believe the tongue clips or whatever are actually secured on the side even if they sped up the video.
This wasn’t as hard as you say it is
I am having a lot of fun reading these comments. Most customers saying cleaning is difficult and the others saying how completely easy it is. Nothing in-between. Very interesting. (they can't both be right. Someone is exaggerating one way or the other.) I'd say this: Honesty is the best policy. Take it from there.
I am having hard time to put 2 flaps both sides near the calf support. They dont want to be tucked in. Help
Did they ever help? Come to your rescue? I'll give it a shot (assembly) and get back with you if I find an easy way to get it back on... but if I end-up cussing and cursing, I will calm down and simply pray for them (Nuna-Baby, et al).
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.
Hello exploder08, thank you for your comment! We are glad that the video was helpful ;) Have a nice week, Mary from Nuna
Your response is very similar to another response from: @lexuschardanai2085. Only difference is she did *2* car seats in 5 minutes. That's two genius engineers responding to the same video! Get you two together and we'd have another Microsoft company. Wow.
I’m sweating… but have been referencing this video for the past couple of years when I take off, wash, and put the covers back on!
I wish they had a cleaning service where we just sent in the product.
Babyquip
There are two commenters saying it only took them 5 minutes! Mail it to them!!!
i was ready to throw in a towel, thank you so much
my 4 years old loves her nana rava car seat , it is very expensive however well worth every penny
I was wrong. All my griping about difficulty and I was wrong. It is easy; easy as pie. It's a tuck and pull - all the way. Nothing is tricky. You can't be afraid to pull. It's tough, the car seat and seat materials, but not its removal. The removal is easy. Just start at the foot rest and unlatch that. Next, stretch and pull the buckle (stretch the material out from around the little buckle); use a little muscle - it pulls out from underneath the buckle - pretty easily actually - just use a little muscle. Again, the material is tough: you won't break it. From there the whole thing just pulls out from along the crevice. I thought the white, plastic side pull-out part was hooked around something, but it's not: the part that looks like it latches around something on the side is simply sort-of hooked, but more like balanced on a screw; it's not really latched at all. Stick your finger underneath to remove the white plastic part off from OR loosen it from the screw. From there everything pulls out from the "push and pull" assembly real easy.
It is easy. Sorry, Mary
Don’t let the comments scare you.. it’s not that hard to do! I just wish the video showed the edges near the footrest where the flaps have to get tucked under.. that was the hardest part in my opinion. (not the calf bar)
I am still struggling with that part 😅 not sure how to make it work
@@ThaaaCardoso I used the end of a fork (super thin).. and got almost all of it then recruited my husband for help lol.
Are you able to detach from the base to clean under?
Exactly, how do you clean the underside/base portion. Actual good information not this crap
@@milesmiles225 Gotta be nice. Mary, the rep from Nuna-baby, doesn't help everyone. You have to be really nice and compliment their video.
Hi, please make a video how to remove and replace the cover NUNA TRES car seat. Thanks
Hello Lenny, thank you for your valuable feedback! We will take it to improve our channel :) Stay tuned! Mary from Nuna
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
Thank u so much. Was able to clean our car seat and reassemble perfectly.
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.. 😊
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.
The instructions say to air dry only, no dryer.
Thank you for your comment about cleaning and reinstalling the cover for your Nuna Rava baby seat. It's given me new courage. In fact, I'm going to get-on-it right now! Thanks for words of encouragement.
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..
Uh Oh. I am watching this video BEFORE disassembly because I already had trouble removing the (rubber)bands holding the footrest. So I thought I'd watch a video first. Now I'm scared to wash it at all, but understand why we shouldn't dry (I first typed "fry", typo; so I know what I am thinking subconsciously) it in the dryer - hang dry only, I guess.
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.
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
Wheres the exec video?
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.
Thanks for clarifying everything. You must be a phycologist or something. Best answer award.
Thank you so much for your video. It is beyond helpful! I wish i can hit like more than 100!
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? 🤔
How about a power washer (for in the cracks). Then air dry. 🤔 Best guess.
How do you dismantle when it has the bar that goes along the bottom?
Hi! How to clean a Pipa? Can I wash it into the washer machine too? Thnks!
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
How do you attach the leg rest hooks? Can you update the video to show?
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
😢😢😢😢😮😢😢😢😢😮😮😢 5:37 😢😢 5:37 😢and 5:37 lol 5:37 😢 wr 5:37 weretrt😅cm oh N n is😢
Did you get an answer to the leg rest hook problem (for the Nuna Rava car seat)? I need to know because I am having the same problem. I don't have the time to re-do everything you already hopefully did. If Mary is willing to help you but not everyone, maybe you can share what you learned? Thank you.
Thank you for posting this video. Cleaned out baby’s Nuna today. 😀
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
okay. Thanks. I'll be back to re-read your detailed instructions (for installation of the Nuna Rava car seat cover.)
This is super misleading. Putting this thing back together is so hard
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: info.usa@nunababy.com. The team will be happy to assist you. Have a great weekend, Mary from Nuna
Haven't washed ours in 3 years, just found this video.......
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?
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
My baby had a spill proof cup that wasn't; now I'm in the hell of getting curdled milk out of that cavity.
I would use a power washer and let it air dry!
@@Skagamaster Power washer! And air dry.
This is not accurate like at all. There are straps that are connected to the headrest that make it impossible to remove
Do everything in your power to NOT have to take the car seat apart. It is NOT this easy to put back together 😩
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?
What a comfortable life you must lead
@@Cabalist3131 haha
When things seem impossible: power washer! And air dry!
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE TO PUT BACK TOGETHER! Omg I’m beyond frustrated - don’t do it!
Use a case knife to get the edges in
What do I do if my child has pooped peed the entire thing? Can I spray the internal piece with a hose and let it air dry?
It would be very helpful to make an actual dirty video. Like what do I need to grease, what do I need to avoid getting water on. Actual information, not a disassembly video that any idiot can figure out by trial/error
Easy for you to say! This car seat is very difficult to take-apart and reassemble. I can't even get the bands off the foot rest! (and if I want to learn how to get them off... I have to sign-up for Instagram and "DM" message/question to Nuna-baby via there. Anything more than cleaning the cover and I use: powerwasher!
Those plush Carseats realy will keep your child safe and keep your child snuggled.
I have sent you a DM on Instagram with a problem I’m having with reinstalling my Nuna Rava. Please help. Thank you.
Thank you Janelle for sending us the DM! We'll go on the conversation on Instagram ;) Best wishes, Mary from Nuna
Why Instagram? I don't do Instagram.
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.
Welp, I've got a few days of cleaning ahead of me.
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.
Read some of the comments. People are being helpful with details on reassembly. (However, it would be nice is Nuna had a longer, more detailed and honest-type video/LOL.)
great carseat but by far the worst when it comes to cleaning
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
Careful what you say. Mary, our helpful rep., is easily offended and will not help if you are not really nice and complimentary. I have read ALL the comments and some are helpful in reassembly. Also, there is another video available, a much longer video (possibly with more detail, too), and I am going to watch it.
