Enhanced Safety Features for Peace of Mind

You never have to compromise on safety with the Aria V2. This car seat comes with a suite of advanced safety features to protect your child from all angles.

• Load Leg: The included base has an adjustable load leg that extends to the vehicle floor, providing increased stability and absorbing crash forces.

• Anti-Rebound+ Panel: An additional safety panel on the base helps to reduce rotation and rebound in the event of a frontal or rear-impact collision.

• Side Impact Protection: The carrier's shell is lined with energy-absorbing EPP foam for advanced side impact protection.

• European Belt Routing: For baseless installations, the European Belt Routing method provides a more secure fit, which is especially useful for travel or when using ride-shares.

Engineered for a Simple and Secure Installation

A car seat is only safe when it's installed correctly. The UPPAbaby Aria V2 simplifies installation with intuitive technology that provides visual confirmation and a secure fit every time.

• SmartSecure® System: This system features a red-to-green visual indicator that tells you when the base is correctly installed in seconds.

• Auto-Retracting LATCH: The base's LATCH connectors automatically retract, making it easy to achieve a tight, secure installation.

• Built-in Lock-off: For seatbelt installations, the built-in lock-off ensures the vehicle seatbelt is securely locked into place.

• Dual Bubble Levels: The base includes dual bubble level indicators to confirm you have the correct alignment for a safe installation.

Designed for Comfort, Convenience, and a Long-Term Fit

The Aria V2 is built to be a comfortable space for your baby and a convenient tool for you.
