A lockoff is a built-in feature that locks your seat belt for you. When a lockoff is present, you will not need to engage the locking mechanism of the seat belt.
A belt tensioner tightens the seat belt for you with little effort; it uses leverage to make the job easier. It presses the belt into a channel(s) to shorten it mechanically and create the tension.
A load leg rests on the floor of the vehicle and manages crash energy to reduce head injury in rear-facing carseats. It’s available on 2 convertible models. Not all vehicles allow load legs.
An anti-rebound bar (ARB) is an energy management feature that helps stabilize a rear-facing carseat and stops it from pivoting around its belt path. ARBs can be found on rear-facing only infant seats and on convertible/all-in-one seats.
European (Euro) belt routing is a feature of some rear-facing only infant seats when installed without the base. The shoulder portion of the seat belt is wrapped around the back of the carrier, which decreases downward movement and force on a child’s shoulders and neck.

Installation/Vehicle Info
Lockoff: Yes
Belt-tensioner for easy install: No
Load leg: Yes
Anti-rebound bar: Yes
Euro belt path when installed baseless: Yes
Manufacturer’s preferred method of installation: LATCH
CarSeatSite notes on installation: Base has rigid LATCH, which provides best connection to vehicle. Because lower LATCH anchor bars are wider than LATCH connectors, the connectors (carseat base) may slide side to side if your vehicle upholstery provides space to do so. This is normal and expected movement. Nuna allows use of the seat belt in addition to LATCH with the PIPA series infant seats.

FAA approved: Yes
Crash replacement guidelines: After a moderate to severe crash following NHTSA guidelines

Preemie fit: Very good
Lifespan/expiration: 7 years
Comments
The low birth weight pillow is used for smaller babies under 11 lbs. and inserted into the back of the body support. Remove it once a snug fit is attained without it at around 11 lbs.
