Shopping for a stroller is one thing, but purchasing a car seat is an entirely different puzzle, with so many pieces to consider. Is it safe? Adjustable? Easy to clean? Well, when it comes to Nuna car seats, the answer is "yes" to all of the above. Luckily, the Nuna Rava ($580; $450) is the total package, according to moms who rave about everything from its easy setup to its durability. And while parents swear it's worth the $580 price tag, the viral car seat is currently discounted by $130 this Black Friday—but only at Pottery Barn Kids.

The versatile, steel-framed car seat is marked down to just $450, though it's worth noting that the deal only applies to the 'Droplet Dot Taupe' colorway, which is a Pottery Barn Kids exclusive. Otherwise, it's the same Nuna Rava seat parents (including more than 100 PBK reviewers) rave about.

Of course, you have to be wondering: Why are people so obsessed with this car seat, given that it's pricier than many others out there—and very rarely goes on sale? It's not a status thing; if you ask TikTok, the 25- by 16- by 19-inch seat checks off all the boxes, from growing with your baby to meeting FAA aircraft compliance standards.

First, its adjustable design suits kids from 5 pounds to 65 pounds, so you don't need to buy a new model every other year. Second, it's constructed to provide ventilation to keep kids from getting sweaty on long rides, and is wrapped in a machine-washable knit fabric that's free of toxic flame-retardant materials, providing added peace of mind. As if that weren't enough, it offers ten-position recline and various head support options, as well as side-impact panels and energy-absorbing foam to help keep your little one safe.

As much as parents love this car seat, the real question is: Will your kid? All signs point to yes, based on the reviews. Beyond the ventilation and adjustable seating, the brand says it can provide up to two additional inches of legroom (when rear-facing) and even more support when forward-facing for a comfy experience all around.

Just take it from this parent, who was glad they chose it over other brands: "I researched car seats for weeks once I realized my baby was looking a little squished in her car seat. [It was down to two options], but the Nuna just seemed so [much] comfier for long trips, and I loved all of the little details like the pop-up cup holders, strap holders, etc," they rave. "The real test was [my] baby liking it, and not only does she seem perfectly content, but she easily falls asleep in it and doesn’t get fussy if we are in the car for a few hours, which means she’s comfortable."

Nuna

The best part? It comes complete with a no-rethread, five-point harness that you can adjust with just one hand. 

The $130 discount won't be on forever, though, so if you've got a baby on board (or are expecting one soon!), you better hurry to snag this holy grail of car seats for a steal.
