The UPPAbaby MESA Infant Car Seat 

The UPPAbaby MESA infant car seat should be on every new parent’s preliminary shopping list. Not only is it super fashion-forward and comfortable, but it’s safe. And not just safe like “all car seats are safe,” but rather really safe. The reason it’s such a safe car seat is due to a combination of its design (it goes the extra mile) and its simplicity (it’s easy to install and swap between cars, and the proper installation each and every time makes it a safer choice). The MESA uses a tightness indicator as well as a self-retracting LATCH system to create a secure connection to the car. There is an indicator window that changes color to show parents when the seat is installed properly.

The UPPAbaby MESA Product Range

The MESA is so very “UPPAbaby.” It is easy to use, safe, and absolutely beautiful. UPPAbaby’s take on the infant car seat is really a head-turner in its high-end, fashionable design, so it comes with the added bonus of “turning heads.” Not that you need to outdo the other parents, but if you need some compliments these days, the MESA car seat is a great choice to add to your gear collection. For your child, who is very likely less safety- and fashion-focused than mom and dad, the MESA is so comfortable. In some models of MESA, the naturally fire-retardant wool fabric cuts out chemical additives, and the MESA seats are some of the first seats to pass federal safety standards without the use of fire-retardant chemicals. The merino wool fabric used has been OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. Merino wool is also a naturally wicking material, which makes it comfortable for both warm- and cold-weather environments. None of the MESA fashions use any melamine, brominated, chlorinated, or organophosphate flame retardants.

The seat itself is very sturdy, and you can feel the quality of the construction when transporting the seat. The fabrics themselves are lightweight and breathable, too. All MESA seats come with removable and washable seat fabric. In addition, you do not need a separate seat pad with the MESA, as it has a finished bottom that prevents damage to your vehicle’s seats. If you do wish to use a non-regulated seat pad, choose from the Brica, the Munchkin Auto Seat Protector, the Diono Super Mat, and the Diono Ultra Mat. The MESA is also travel-ready, approved for aircraft travel, and works perfectly in taxis, Ubers, and Lyfts, thanks to its easy installation that doesn’t require a base. It’s also designed to grow with your child, accommodating kids from 4 to 35 pounds, or until they reach 32 inches in height.

The MESA is about more than just safety and comfort—it’s also stylish. Available in a range of colors like Alice, Bryce, Gregory, and more, this car seat is sure to turn heads, offering both sleek, modern options and classic, timeless designs to match your taste.

What Parents Are Saying About the UPPAbaby MESA

Parents love the MESA for all of the reasons mentioned above, but what most people don’t realize about these seats is that they are perfect for on-the-go parents. They’re approved for aircraft travel, but also for taxis and Ubers and Lyfts and other quick transportation options. You do not need the base to install this car seat into other vehicles. This ease of installation is one of the reasons why the MESA has a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 5-Star rating. The MESA comes with an insert that creates a safer experience for premature and smaller newborns, too.

Here’s what some parents are saying:

• M, NJ: "We chose the Mesa Max to go along with our Vista. Everything assembles easily, design is consistent throughout products so nothing mismatches. Safety rating was high."
• Kayla X., College Station: "Absolutely love this new design! From the fabric to the upgraded features. It is a tad heavy but that’s no big deal with you keep safety in mind. I do wish this was compatible with more strollers… but definitely wasn’t a deal breaker."
• Ellen, FL: "I love how safe and secure my baby is in this, and the materials are great. The canopy comes down nicely to block sun from baby’s face. It was super easy to install and the load leg adds an extra sense of security."
