Nuna, a brand renowned for its childcare products, is revolutionising the way pets are transported with Tavo Pets. Aware of the lack of safety and protection for pets in the car, Nuna has developed innovative solutions to protect your four-legged friends when you're on the move. Here's a quick look at this revolutionary range.
Neglecting the safety of animals in cars
At present, the level of safety offered to animals in cars is almost non-existent, exposing them to major risks in the event of an accident. The consequences can be dramatic, ranging from minor injuries to serious trauma and even death. A sudden stop can propel an unrestrained animal into the passenger compartment, injuring it and endangering the other occupants.
When hit at 55 km/h, the weight of an animal is multiplied by 50. So a 5 kg dog becomes a 250 kg projectile, and a 4 kg cat becomes a 200 kg mass. Imagine the damage such a projectile can cause inside a vehicle!
Existing solutions, such as straps or harnesses, have proved ineffective in crash tests. They can break under pressure, injuring the animal or even ejecting it from the vehicle. What's more, these devices do not protect against side impact, which is a frequent occurrence in accidents.
The Tavo Pets solution: a revolution in pet car safety
In response to the alarming lack of safety for pets in the car, Nuna has developed Tavo Pets, an innovative range of transport accessories. Launched in 2024, Tavo Pets puts the safety and comfort of your four-legged friends at the heart of its concerns.
The centrepiece of this range is Maevethe first car seat This marks a turning point in the way we transport our pets, offering them a level of protection comparable to that afforded to children in the car.

A new era for transporting animals by car
Tavo Pets by Nuna offers a real solution for transporting our pets in complete safety. With Maeve, the first pet car seat with an Isofix base, and its comprehensive range of accessories, Nuna is revolutionising the pet transport market. Admittedly, this innovation comes at a price, but the safety and well-being of our four-legged companions are priceless.
We were impressed by the quality of the products, their elegant design and their practicality. There is one drawback, however: the Maeve car seat requires two places in the back seat to fit perfectly. But this minor inconvenience is more than made up for by the peace of mind that comes with knowing your pet is travelling in complete safety. Tavo Pets is paving the way for a new era in which safety is no longer a luxury, but a priority.
