The Nuna Leaf Grow scores top marks in the looks department for its stylish, elegant and contemporary design. It’s reassuringly sturdy without being bulky and would look right at home in the most stylish of living rooms. Smooth as a leaf in the wind, it sways your baby for over two minutes and brings modern chic to your home. In stage 2, the seat pad is removed, turning the LEAF into a chair where a toddler can enjoy a book, game or TV. Still, Grow comes with some interesting extra characteristics like new vibrant colors, removable cushions, and a more flexible recline function. So, which one of these two products should you opt for? In today’s comparative review, I will discuss the seats’ features, price, and other useful aspects.

The three-point recline means the Nuna Leaf Grow can be adjusted lower for a sleeping baby and higher for a toddler who wants to sit more upright. What age do you need the harness? The Curv model can sway for up to two minutes at a time once you give it a gentle nudge. The Grow alternative was launched in 2021 and it is an updated and upgraded baby seat. Features such as the look and the soothing sway movement are present in both models.

In other words, you can use the Grow version until your child is old enough to sit upright and even climb out of the seat. Then, you can remove the harness so that the toddler can use the product while watching TV or enjoying a fairytale book. It’s safe to take off the safety system only when the child starts walking on his or her own. The padded insert is made from 100% organic cotton and the mesh underside of the seat keeps everything beautifully breathable. The whole seat is really soft and plush and cocoons your baby gently. So, your baby will comfortably sway and the feeling mimics the one in which you hold the infant in your arms. There are two popular Nuna Leaf models: Curv which is the company’s initial product and Grow which is the newer version. While the Nuna Leaf Curv seat can be bought in one single color which is a shade of gray, the upgraded and improved model, Nuna Leaf Grow, is available in a wider array of color options: iron, granite, champagne, Oxford, midnight, and blush.

Because the base of the LEAF is thinner than that of the LEAF Grow, the seat weighs about 3 pounds less. Product Use The Nuna Leaf Grow is really all about the sway. Rather than jiggling your baby up and down, the Nuna Leaf Grow has a gentle side-to-side gliding motion – like a falling leaf. You know that side-to-side swaying you do to get your baby to doze off? That’s what it does. To curve or not to curve? Its not so much the question, more a matter of preference. The choice is now yours for our swaying seat that makes a statement - thanks to its updated posh design with a twist (or should we say swirl?), the LEAF curv. So which is better: the Nuna LEAF or the Nuna LEAF Grow? We'll explain the differences in this comparison. Normal wear and tear such that would occur over extended product lifecycle usage such as natural fading of colors and breakdown of materials

While the infant inserts for both models are made with organic cotton, the LEAF Grow seat pad goes a step beyond with OEKO-TEX certification—giving parents peace of mind that every component of the seat is free from harmful substances. While both offer the same soothing sway and stylish look, the LEAF Grow adds a removable harness and three-position recline that makes it more comfortable for your child to enjoy through toddlerhood (and beyond, thanks to the seat's 130-pound weight limit!) The cotton material is incredibly soft and feels like it is really supporting the baby. There are no sharp edges and the seat doesn’t sag when the baby sits in it.
