UPPAbaby Mesa V2 Infant Car Seat + Base

The UPPAbaby Mesa V2 infant car seat has been redesigned with thoughtful enhancements, while continuing UPPAbaby’s long tradition of highly-functional and durable baby gear products. Read on to learn about the Mesa V2 car seat features and key enhancements.

UPPAbaby Mesa V2 Upgrades:

The Mesa V2 offers a larger UPF50 hideaway canopy, with 20% more canopy coverage over the original Mesa model, this is a welcome improvement for this car seat. The larger canopy will provide more effective sun coverage and privacy for little one.

The Mesa V2’s carry handle has a 4th rebound position for increased safety in rear-impact collisions. Upon positioning and buckling Baby into the car seat, simply press the dual buttons on the carry handle to move the handle forward into this fourth position, providing additional safety and peace of mind during car rides.

Larger headrest for improved side impact protection. Over the years, the headrest design on the Mesa has been quite impressive, with substantial cushioning in each of the wings as well as in the back-of-head area. Building on this, the Mesa V2 is designed with an even bigger headrest, with wings extend even further over the previous Mesa model, providing additional side impact protection around Baby’s head.

A robust infant insert with contoured design is included to optimize baby’s fit and body positioning. With this new design, the infant insert can now be used from 4-11 lbs. (as opposed to 4-8 lbs. with the previous model). The new Mesa V2 infant insert is thicker, more structured, and integrates well within the new Mesa V2 carrier.

European routing is added to the Mesa V2’s belt path, providing a more secure carrier-only installation during those times that parents may look to install the car seat without a base. Especially handy when traveling away from home, the belt path allows you to install just the car seat carrier in a car, taxi or airplane seat. The addition of the European routing in the back of the Mesa V2 makes this car seat even safer and easier to travel with!

A simplified one-crotch buckle position is added to the Mesa V2, to reduce misuse and take the guesswork out of repositioning the crotch buckle. With the previous Mesa model, the crotch buckle would necessitate repositioning as the child grew. With the new Mesa V2, you no longer need to re-position the crotch buckle of the car seat.

UPPAbaby Mesa V2 Features:

Made with UPPAbaby’s SmartSecure® System, the Mesa V2 car seat can be installed in a matter of seconds. The SmartSecure® System is a unique technology using self-retracting LATCH connectors and tightness indicators for fast and accurate car seat installation. The indicator window changes from red to green for visual confirmation during the base install.

Easy, effortless car seat base install combining SmartSecure®, an auto-retracting LATCH design, and red to green tightness indicators. These three elements work together harmoniously, making installation of the Mesa V2 exceptionally quick, easy and intuitive. The base is also designed with a four-position adjustable foot for easy leveling during install. If you’re instead installing the car seat base using the seat belt (as opposed to the LATCH design), the base has a built-in lock-off for a firm seat belt installation.

The Mesa V2 continues UPPAbaby’s tradition of a no-rethread harness that adjusts with the headrest. Parents have come to love this feature over the years, as this makes harness adjustments a breeze.  

Mesa V2 is made with fabric that is free from fire retardant chemicals for all colors, meaning, UPPAbaby does not add FR chemicals to the textiles in any of the fabric options. This makes the Mesa V2 a healthy car seat option for new parents.

The Mesa V2 has achieved Greenguard® Gold Certification, which sets it apart from many infant car seats. The Greenguard Gold Certification means that the product has been rigorously tested, and it has been scientifically proven to have incredibly low chemical emissions, helping to provide better air quality when the child is in the car seat.

The Mesa V2’s carry handle has a stroller release button at the top, eliminating the need to physically bend down to remove the car seat from the stroller. This makes for placing the car seat on and off the stroller with ease, without your lower back having to work overtime.

Storage pockets for harness buckles are integrated on both sides of the carrier. With the harness buckles being tucked into these storage pockets, you may place the child into the carrier with less fuss and distractions.

Easy compatibility with UPPAbaby strollers. The Mesa V2 connects directly with Vista and Cruz strollers, and integrates with adapters for use with UPPAbaby’s Minu and Ridge strollers. Combined with these strollers, the Mesa V2 creates an all-in-one travel system that’s easy to use and convenient for both child and parents.

The Mesa V2 is made with removable and washable seat fabrics, creating peace-of-mind for parents as you and Baby conquer the road. Washing the fabrics will give the Mesa V2 a refreshed, clean look whenever you may need it!

Mesa V2 Colors:

The Mesa V2 is restyled so that darker textile options have darker-colored touch points, and lighter textiles have lighter-colored touch points, giving the car seat a more cohesive and streamlined style head to toe. UPPAbaby is offering the following light and dark options in the Mesa V2:

• Stella: grey mélange, with subtle cool-grey tones
• Jake: charcoal, a dark and sporty charcoal black option
• Alice: dusty pink, perfectly subtle and delicate
