Meet Bob Wall, Nuna's Global Car Seat Safety Advocate

Published on

Bob Wall doesn’t just help Nuna follow the rules; he helped write them. With a career history of being a change-maker and educator, Bob leverages this experience at Nuna as the Global Car Seat Safety Advocate.

Before joining Nuna, he played an integral part in the passage of several child safety laws in Virginia by testifying before the state legislature, and he participated in the signing of the national Lower Anchors and Tethers Law (LATCH).

While working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), he helped draft the Standardized Child Passenger Safety Training Course that is still used today.

“This class is not about putting one car seat in one car — it's about learning all the different configurations of seats and vehicles”

His work on this curriculum began with a grassroots effort to get law enforcement involved in child passenger safety trainings through a program called Operation Kids, which served as a starting point for the NHTSA training course. NHTSA’s goal was to create a curriculum that was standardized across the U.S., and Bob served as a representative for The International Association of Chiefs of Police on the project.

BOB SAYS
“I've instructed hundreds of child passenger safety courses with thousands of people attending.”

Bob has been educating others for decades. With each course, he has been able to grow child safety advocacy through a ripple effect as attendees of his courses become certified and teach courses of their own. “This class is not about putting one car seat in one car — it's about learning all the different configurations of seats and vehicles,” says Bob. As Nuna’s Global Car Seat Safety Advocate, he administers specialized training programs across the U.S. focused on child safety. “I’ve instructed hundreds of child passenger safety courses with thousands of people attending.”

Bob has been recognized for his contributions to child safety as an inductee into the inaugural class of the Manufacturers’ Alliance for Child Passenger Safety’s Hall of Fame. He brings his expertise to Nuna by helping product engineers in the design of car seat technology. In the video below, Bob explains some of the key features of Nuna’s infant car seat bases – the PIPA series base and the new RELX base.

“ The load leg is a significant safety feature because it reduces the forward rotation of the rear-facing child restraint in a frontal crash.”

We’re proud to say that we are the first brand to successfully bring this feature to the U.S. market. A two-section, free-flowing steel load leg is included in the PIPA series base and the new RELX base has a three-part locking steel load leg. “The load leg is a significant safety feature because it reduces the forward rotation of the rear-facing seat in a frontal crash.”

“In my opinion, the best thing about Nuna is we keep it simple and safe.” Bob shared that the major difference between car seats is how easy they are to use. Both of Nuna’s infant car seat bases can be installed and secured in only five seconds and are compatible with all PIPA series infant car seats.

The PIPA series base features bubble level indicators to ensure that the base is installed at the correct angle, and the RELX base features a bubble-free install and recline. The anti-rebound panel of the RELX base can be adjusted to fit securely against the back seat, allowing it to fit in a wide range of vehicles. Car seats can be easily removed from both bases by simply squeezing the release button, so you can keep exploring with your little one at your preferred pace.
