Car Seats and Child Safety

We use the WAYB Pico on planes, in rental cars and as a spare seat. Where it is worth the money, where it falls short, and who should skip it.

We travel with the WAYB Pico in our own Model Y. How it fits, installs and flies, and what the FAA says about car seats on planes.

Does the Nuna Pipa Lite RX fit a Tesla Model Y? Yes. We used it with the RELX base from birth to 15 months. Base install, roof clearance and real photos.

Does the Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit fit a Tesla Model Y? Yes, on either side, and the front passenger can still sit all the way back. Our own seat, with real photos.

Does the Nuna Aace booster fit a Tesla Model Y? Yes, with one catch on the headrest. Our son rides in it daily; here’s how it installs, with real photos.

Does the WAYB Pico travel car seat fit a Tesla Model Y? Yes: either rear seat, under a minute with LATCH, and it folds into the frunk. Real photos from our car.

Tesla now sells two different three-row Model Ys. Here’s what actually fits in each third row’s car seats and boosters, and what we could and couldn’t verify.
