Wind cover keeps falling down
Overall, the Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield is a really good car seat — it feels lightweight, sturdy, and the quality is definitely there. My only complaint is the canopy area. The wind cover keeps falling down and ends up on the baby’s face, which can be a little frustrating, especially on windy days. If they improved that part, it would honestly be perfect.

Good Quality
I’m happy with the product, but I wish the magnets connected at the top so the transparent cover doesnt dangle in the baby’s face. It falls down when I tuck them in (gets annoying sometimes).

Quality, But Canopy Needs Work
I received this for my baby shower. It looks and feels like it's high quality. I haven't had my baby yet, so I haven't used it with my baby yet. The reason I gave four stars is that the canopy/privacy shield attaches via magnets, which can be difficult to attach because the magnets have to line up perfectly for the canopy to stay in place. It feels like the canopy has to stretch to get the magnets to line up perfectly, and I worry that if I hit it accidentally, the canopy will come undone. I would prefer buttons or some other way to fasten the canopy.

Very light
Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit dem Autositz. Er ist sehr leicht und einfach aus und einzuladen mit den Isofoxstation. 3 Sachen sind leider nicht so geschickt:
Der ausklappbare Sonnenschutz hält nicht im Verdeck, er fällt immer raus.
Der Knopf um die Gurte länger zu machen ist schwer zu erreichen. Und die Gurte sind nicht stufenlos verstellbar sondern müssen ausgefädelt werden.

This car seat checks all the boxes!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to review the Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield Infant Car Seat by Nuna as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel! This stylish, well-constructed and comfortable car seat is a must have for any discerning parent/child! Not only is this seat pleasing to the eye due to its exceptional finish, but at first touch, it is also soft (made of merino wool…..also great for temperature control!) and abundantly padded, providing extra comfort for any young babe.…

Comfort and safety peace of mind!

I knew I’d love this car seat as soon as I got a good look of it out of the box…and it has proved me right. It’s amazing. The padding is perfect and it’s so comfortable for my baby. She was immediately happy in it and it fits her perfectly. The padding on the buckle and on the shoulders is the best I’ve ever seen. The shoulder pads are thicker than I’ve ever seen and it smooshes my babies cheeks a bit and makes her look like a Cabbage Patch doll but it makes her head not fall forward or to the…

Pleased Baby, Happy Mom
This review was collected as part of a promotion
My biggest takeaway from this product is that my baby was extremely happy and comfortable in the Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield infant car seat by Nuna. Typically, my baby is immediately upset and getting out of the house is a whole ordeal because she hates our current infant car seat. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the design was satisfactory for my almost 5 month old, opinionated baby.

Love this carseat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Wow wow wow! Honestly I love this carseat. I got the black because you can never go wrong with that and it is amazing! It is super cushiony and had the most padded support I have felt in any carseat. One of my absolute favorite things is the sun canopy. Omg! It extends so far down and is actually useful! I have had many and I mean many carseats between my 3 kids and this sunshade is amazing! It actually shields baby from the sun honestly almost covering the whole carseat which is actually…

Sleek and sturdy
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I like the light weight and simple design of this car seat. It is more narrow than other car seats I’ve used which I love because it fits better into the car and doesn’t feel so bulky when carrying it around. It’s easier to carry around because of its light weight design. The air shield can be tucked away when not in use which is so nice. The car seat base is also more narrow and not as bulky which we love. It is so simple to install, we have installed it both with the LATCH and the seat belt…
