Troubleshooting Common Issues
Addressing issues like harness strap tightness or base installation problems can ensure optimal safety and comfort. Refer to the manual or contact Nuna support for solutions.
Resolving Harness Strap Tightness
If the harness straps on your Nuna Urbn car seat feel too tight or restrictive, ensure proper adjustment by loosening the straps slightly while maintaining a snug fit.

Addressing Base Installation Problems
If you encounter issues with the base installation of your Nuna Urbn car seat, ensure the ISOFIX connectors are securely attached to the vehicle’s mounting points.

For tight installations, gently rock the base side-to-side while applying downward pressure. If problems persist, consult the vehicle’s manual to confirm ISOFIX compatibility. Contact Nuna customer support for further assistance or to check if damaged parts need replacement.
