Overview

Highlights

  • Deluxe extended sun canopy
  • Carrier only install option
  • Includes infant insert

Description

The Mesa V3 features even more improvements to this popular UPPAbaby infant car seat.

One key update: the deluxe, full-coverage UPF 50+ canopy with a magnetic mesh ventilation and peek-a-boo window to keep an eye on baby.

The 4th anti-rebound handle position offers enhanced protection in rebound and rear-impact collisions, while the large, adjustable headrest (with 25 positions) provides extra side impact protection.

For smaller babies, the infant insert optimizes positioning for 4-11 lbs.

The no-rethread 5-point harness makes adjustments easier, and the magnetic harness buckle holder helps with loading and unloading. An ergonomic carry handle offers one-handed stroller release button and two buckle positions.

The carrier weighs under 10 lbs for comfortable toting and attaches directly to Vista and Cruz strollers to create a premium travel system.

The base features the SMARTSecure System for fast installation, a red-to-green tightness indicator, built-in lock-off for secure seatbelt use, Auto-Retracting LATCH and a four-position adjustable foot for leveling.

The Mesa offers European Routing for secure installation without the base.

Not like the past model
Incredibly hard to tighten and loosen, with a newborn it makes it double stressful. Very disappointed, we had the model from 2018 before this and it was amazing but went out of date . Would return if we could.

I received this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Right away, I was impressed by the sleek design and overall quality—it looks and feels very comfortable. When I first placed my daughter in it, she settled in easily and seemed content. She usually overheats quickly, but the breathable fabric really helped keep her cool. I also appreciate the thoughtfully designed sun canopy, which adds great coverage and breathability. The magnetic buckle holders were a great addition for

Dad Review- This is the one.
Dads, while we get annoyed when our wives show us every little thing, and sure, we'll remember our fantasy lineups better than half the clothes they buy, we'd better pay attention to the car seats—because you know it won't be them installing them. We started with a Nuna model, and it drove me nuts. That stabilizer leg? Pointless. Wobbly as could be. Swapped it for this, and wow—night and day. Installation was a breeze, rock-solid stability, no stress. Highly recommend this one, 100%.

Compact, Safe, and Perfect for Our Growing Family
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I had the honor of receiving this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel for my not-so-little 7-month-old baby boy, and I am very impressed!

It’s sleek and perfect for smaller vehicles, especially if you’re juggling multiple car seats or tight backseat space. The side-impact protection feature feels sturdy and reassuring, and the head support helps keep my baby’s neck from getting tweaked if he falls asleep on the ride. Installation was straightforward and efficient, and the seat

Great car seat!
I think the UPPAbaby Mesa V3 car seat has great features! I was excited to receive this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel! I enjoy having breathable fabrics and a reliable sun canopy, especially since we live in a hotter climate. With two older kiddos, we are outside a lot and also have lots of trips in the car! The breathable fabric and sun canopy are what I love most! I appreciate having an easy installation for car seats. When the instructions are clearly marked and easy to handle

Awesome Infant Car Seat
I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I already had an infant car seat that I (thought I) loved, but apparently I had no idea what I was missing out on! UPPABaby makes a premium product all around.

Installing the car seat was a breeze, and all the standard features of an infant seat (sun canopy, carrying handle, buckles, etc) all feel sturdy, well-made, and downright luxurious. No flimsy car seat over here! My husband even commented on how

sleek & comfy!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I am thrilled to have been able to review the Mesa V3 thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Appearance: Mesa V3 is absolutely sleek in its appearance having changed the bright blue seatbelt strap holder, and other parts to an amazing charcoal.

Comfort: The cushion to this seat is definitely thicker and appears to be much more comfortable for my little one than on his Mesa V2.

New features: The canopy on the Mesa V3 is brilliant. My baby takes car seat naps when on

Easy install infant seat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have only used one other infant carrier seat and I wish I had the Mesa V3 sooner. I love how light but sturdy it feels. The cushioning and infant body support is perfect and makes me feel like my baby is very secure. The extra coverage and breezy fabric of the canopy is awesome. It actually covers your baby!!

My absolute favorite part of this car seat is the base. It was ridiculously easy to install. So intuitive.
