Car seats are one of the highest-exposure children's products due to daily hours of direct contact with treated materials in an enclosed, heated space. Nuna is one of the few brands that has eliminated chemical flame retardants from seat fabric and foam, instead meeting federal flammability standards through inherently flame-resistant materials. This is the approach recommended by pediatric environmental health experts.
Why We Recommend This Product
Nuna eliminated chemical flame retardants from the RAVA's fabric and foam, meeting federal flammability standards through material design rather than chemical treatment. GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions.
