MESA v2. See how simple.

UPPAbaby designed the MESA with intuitive innovations you can see and features that remove the guesswork. The MESA maximizes ease to minimize error, which allows parents to move forward with confidence and security.

Suitable 4-35 lbs and up to 32″ in height

MESA Safety

• SMARTSecure^TM system: Make installation quick and simple by combining our innovative SMARTSecure® system, auto-retracting LATCH design, red to green tightness indicator, and four-position adjustable foot.
• Tightness indicator:  It’s as easy as red to green. When the tightness indicator turns green, it provides confirmation that the seat is installed correctly whether using LATCH or belt.
• Auto-retracting LATCH:  Unlike traditional LATCH connectors, MESA’s unique retracting LATCH system tightens effortlessly, minimizing installation error.
• Protection from all sides: The adjustable headrest is reinforced with EPP foam to help absorb energy while the integrated design of our Side Impact Protection keeps baby’s head protected during a collision. Additionally, the 4th rebound carry handle position allows for increased safety and aids in absorbing rebound forces.
• Optimized for preemies 4 lbs+: The removable infant insert is designed to provide better fit and body positioning for babies approximately 4 – 11 lbs.
• European Routing:  European Routing provides a safe and secure carrier-only installation when the use of a base isn’t convenient. The belt path easily secures the carrier at three points of contact to reduce movement.

MESA Convenience

• Fire retardant free fabrics: The MESA V2 is made with fabric that is free from fire retardant chemicals for all fashions and textiles, including the large UPF 25+ hideaway canopy. It is also GREENGUARD® GOLD Certified to support healthier air quality and low chemical emissions.
• Buckle up with confidence: The simple one-crotch buckle position and no-rethread, adjustable harness makes buckling up a breeze.

• Performance travel system:  For the ultimate in portability and safety, MESA V2 directly attaches to both the VISTA® and CRUZ® strollers. It is even compatible with the MINU® and RIDGE® with the addition of convenient adapters. This creates a stylish and simple solution that goes from drive to stroll (and back again).
• Expandable options: Whether you’re having twins or this is your second or third time around, the MESA paired with the VISTA can accommodate your growing family.
• Quick release button:  A quick press of the button on the top of the carrier handle releases it from the frame so you can go from stroller to car in one seamless motion. Additionally, the convenient, reversible option allows baby to face you while strolling, or you can turn the carrier to pull right up to a table for mealtime.
• No-rethread harness:  As your infant grows, the MESA infant car seat adapts. MESA’s unique no-rethread five-point harness is adjustable from the front, allowing for proper fitting in just seconds.
• Removable and washable fabric and canopy:  It’s a fact of life -- babies dribble and drool. MESA's seat fabric and canopy fabric is easily removable for cleanup without the need to disassemble the harness.
• Hideaway canopy with SPF 25+:  The extra-large integrated, extendable canopy provides more protection outside and conveniently tucks away when not in use.
• Level indicators on both sides of base:  Whether you are installing from the left or right side of the car, level indicators confirm that your seat is properly leveled.
• Finished base bottom:  Smooth, finished base bottom minimizes indents and eliminates the need for a seat protector.
