Overview

Highlights

  • For babies 4–35 lbs
  • Includes infant car seat and base
  • Infant insert included
  • Side impact protection

Description

The MESA V2 features improvements in both safety and comfort, while still being very user-friendly. Updated features include a larger UPF hideaway canopy for extra sun protection and privacy, increased headrest size to improve side impact protection, an updated fit inlay for infants 4-11 lbs and a fourth anti-rebound handle position for increased safety.

Unlike traditional LATCH connectors, MESA’s unique retracting LATCH system tightens effortlessly, minimizing installation error. An indicator window changes from red to green for visual confirmation that the base has been installed correctly. When installing without a base, the European Routing allows for a more secure installation.

MESA’s no-rethread, five-point harness adjusts with the headrest, eliminating the need to take the harness system apart as baby grows. Soft, breathable and moisture-wicking carrier fabrics keep baby cool and comfortable, and the fabrics are free from fire retardant chemicals.

To create a travel system, the MESA pairs with the VISTA (compatible with V2 and V3) or CRUZ stroller (all sold separately). With the addition of convenient adapters, the MESA is also compatible with the RIDGE and MINU stroller.

For two-car families, you can buy a second base for the MESA. This allows you to leave a base in each car and just move the infant car seat between the two.

I would NOT recommend
Had the car seat from the time our baby was a newborn and he does not enjoy it at all. He screams and cries everything. I would not recommend to any parent. Our son is not colic. This seat is flat out uncomfortable for babies and will make every ride uncomfortable for parents because your child will not be able to sit in it. Waste of good money. Save yours.

Hate this car seat
I hate this car seat as does my baby. It’s so difficult to get her in and out of, so tight (I understand tight for safety, but impossible to get her comfortable) and poorly constructed.

Buyers beware
I wanted to love this car seat as it has great reviews and we received the uppa baby stroller as a baby shower gift, so obviously the 2 are compatible. (Let me be clear, the seat was properly installed into our car, newborn insert was installed properly and our son was placed correctly in the car seat. We were not allowed to be discharged from the hospital until he was checked by a physician for proper installation.)
Upon putting my son in this seat for the first time my husband and I both

Saved my daughter's life
We got in a terrible car crash and were T-boned on the side my daughter was on by a car going about 40 mph. My car spun out into the ditch and the door was smashed in. This car seat stayed secure and she was well-contained and stayed safe. It was also easy enough to get her out of as fast as possible to get to safety. I am so grateful she is alive and healthy. We will be getting a replacement. I know it does what it's supposed to!

Great car seat!
We recently upgraded to the UPPAbaby Mesa V2, and it has been a fantastic choice! The car seat base installation is super easy, making it quick and stress-free to secure in the car. Compared to our previous Chicco KeyFit, the Mesa V2 is larger and has a higher weight capacity, which means we'll be able to use it for longer.

I also love the adjustable headrest, which provides extra comfort and support as our baby grows. Another huge perk is that it's compatible with UPPAbaby Vista

Terrible Safety
Ugggh! I HATE this car seat, even though I wanted to like the Uppa. My 3 week old baby is in a dangerous position with the chin to chest. Plus, this car seat doesn't have a load leg. I switched the the Nuna Pipa Aire RX and it's amazing, much safer, and looks better. The Nuna also fits my baby better. So disapointed!!!!!

Our Mesa saved my baby's life
My family and I were recently involved in a car accident where a drunk driver going about 90mph slammed into the back of our car while we were driving on the freeway. Our 15 week old daughter was in the back seat in our Mesa V1 car seat (we had a V1 with our older daughter who was in the car in a convertible car seat). Both girls emerged from the accident completely unharmed. While I know it wasn't a V2, I wanted to share the V1 saved my baby's life and I'm sure the V2 would, too.

Safer Carseats Available
Safety rating not the best compared to others. Do not recommend. I added this carseat to my registry as many parents recommended the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller. To admit, I did not do much research on the carseat prior and opted to add it since it was the UPPAbaby brand. Although silly to say, at this price point, I thought it would be a high quality carseat. Upon receiving and installing the carseat, my husband and I could immediately tell it was not secure. To confirm, we ensured that the seat
