The UPPAbaby Mesa Car Seat Cover Review

The Uppababy Mesa is an infant car seat that offers parents a lot of style and safety. It has a unique feature that allows it to be used without the base, which makes it perfect for taxis and ride sharing services like Uber or Lyft. It is also one of the first seats to use naturally fire-retardant materials instead of chemical additives. Its merino wool fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and free of melamine, brominated or chlorinated flame retardants, which is good news for babies and mom and dad too.

The UPPAbaby Mesa V2 is an update to the original version of this popular car seat, and it has several upgrades that improve safety and convenience. This includes a simpler way to install the seat in your vehicle, a larger sun canopy that protects baby better from harsh sunlight, and an improved seatbelt installation method. It also comes with a newborn insert that is designed to provide greater head and neck support for very small infants.

This is a great seat for families that want a premium option that is easy to use and clean. The outer shell is smooth and has no places for grime to hide, and the base has a simple design with self-tensioning LATCH connectors and a tightness indicator that turns green when you have a secure connection. The base also has a slot on the bottom that lets you store the LATCH straps when you’re not using them.

One downside of the Mesa is that it is heavier than the average car seat. It weighs 11.3 pounds, which is a couple of pounds more than some of the other models in our review. This might make it difficult for some parents to lug around, especially if they are going to be carrying it with a baby in it.

However, if you plan to pair the car seat with a stroller, such as an Uppababy Vista or Cruz, you won’t have as much of a problem with weight and bulk. These strollers have a lot of storage space to keep the seat and its accessories out of the way.

Another thing to keep in mind with the Mesa is that it has an expiration date on both the seat and the base, which is important because car seats degrade over time. Expired seats have less effective safety features and might not meet current crash testing standards.

The UPPAbaby Mesa is an excellent choice for new parents who want to enjoy the luxury of an expensive stroller and an infant car seat all in one package. Its sleek design, multiple color options and high-quality materials help it stand out from the competition, and its features and safety ratings make it a top pick for any family. It’s even compatible with UPPAbaby’s award-winning Vista and Cruz strollers, so you can get the most out of your investment. Plus, you can order a stylish Ukje cover to match your car seat.
