Description

With its unique design and engineering, the MESA combines safety, simplicity, and now a lighter carrier. From easy installation to innovative safety features and a one-hand stroller release, MESA has taken the guesswork and hassle out of infant car seats.

MESA combines the safety, functionality, and ease of use parents and babies need to feel protected and reassured. The MESA is the only infant car seat on the market that uses SMARTSECURE System. This unique technology utilizes a tightness indicator and self-retracting mini LATCH connectors to facilitate quick, accurate, and easy installation.

With a keen eye for designing stylish and sleek products that combine features and functions new parents want, plus innovations they never knew were possible, the MESA works directly with the VISTA smart luxury stroller and the CRUZ stroller systems without the purchase of adapters. Additional MESA features include:

SIP Side Impact Protection integrated with a no-rethread harness that enables front adjustment access to facilitate easy and accurate harness position - optimized for preemies.

Convenience A one-push stroller release on the carry handle makes stroller-to-car transfer smooth and easy.

Protection A hideaway SPF 50+ canopy protects infants from the sun, but when not in use hides away. The MESA also has integrated storage pockets for the infant restraint buckles to keep the metal parts cool when the seat is exposed to sun and within easy-reach for child restraint.

The MESA has an extremely low profile and slim base with a finished bottom to protect car upholstery and eliminates the need for seat protectors, which can compromise car seat installation and safety.

Base

  • SMARTSecure system with 10-second accurate install
  • Red-to-green tightness indicator
  • Built-in lock-off for secure seatbelt installation

  • 4-position adjustable foot for easy leveling

Carrier

  • Attaches to VISTA and CRUZ strollers
  • Carry handle with stroller release button
  • Storage pockets for harness buckles
  • 2 crotch buckle positions
  • Easily removable and washable seat fabric
  • SPF 50+ hideaway canopy

Specifications:

  • Seat Dimensions: 17 W x 25.75 L x 23 H
  • Seat with Base: 17 W x 28 L x 25 H
  • Base: 14.25 W x 21.25 L x 10.25 H (lowest level), 13 H (highest level)

April 13, 2023
It's heavy, but the latch system is very easy to use on the base.
It's difficult to take apart to wash, but stains do come out very easily in the wash.
Pros
  • Latch system adjustment.
  • stains come out easily
Cons
  • Difficult to take apart to wash.

Super flexible and awesome car seat.
April 6, 2023
Absolutely awesome car seat. The base is secured in the car and the car seat snaps in/out easily. You can use the seat in another car without the base, so you are not limited. Easy to install in both configurations (w or w/o base). The seat itself is nicely adjustable to the baby without too much effort. The straps are easily managed but sometimes requires an extra set of hands (especially if you have baby in hand).

Have not been in an accident so cannot comment on it's effectiveness.

Good Seat
August 13, 2022
It was a bit tricky to get the hang of buckling, especially with a screaming newborn, but now that I’ve figured it out, the car seat feels easy to use and to get in and out of the car. I bought it to go with the older UppaBaby stroller I have, which works since I have the car seat adapters. Overall a nice seat

Fast Shipping, Great Product
January 26, 2022
I ordered this car seat after much research, looking for a carseat that didn't utilize flame retardants. Albee customer service was amazing and answered all my questions. The car seat shipped so quickly and arrived in a perfect box. I did end up exchanging it because I wanted one in wool (the Jordan) and ordered the Jake by mistake. Customer service helped me get a return set up, a refund was issued within hours of it being marked "arrived" at the warehouse, and it was such a great experience. The Jordan model was at my house less than a week later. Great seat overall, high quality materials, and works great with the stroller system. Well worth the price!

Feels very safe, secure and sturdy. Love that it goes right into the uppababy wheels. Great for shopping so I can use the basket of the uppababy vista and have the car seat pop right into that!

Hands Down - One of Best Baby Purchases
August 30, 2021
The UppaBaby products I've bought are hands down the best products I've bought for my babies. I've been able to use the Mesa for both kids and we use them A LOT! They clean nicely and still look new. I like the black b/c it definitely cleans the best.

Uppa Mesa Car Seat

This car seat feels very plush, comfortable, and more importantly well padded/cushiony for safety.

It was easy to install, and the quality is superb (except cotton pills; see cons below).
Pros
  • Great material, easy to install, well padded for added safety
Cons
  • Material starts pilling after extended use.

High-Quality Car Seat
February 3, 2021
Great seat: safe and comfortable for baby, high-quality materials, easy to install, and thoughtfully designed, especially the quick in/out compatibility with the base and Uppababy strollers. This is our second Mesa - purchased the first one 3 years ago for our first child and it held up wonderfully. It was a no-brainer to get another for our recently acquired second car as we prepare for our second child.

Must have!!
November 18, 2020
This gave us the peace of mind when bringing home our preterm infant from the hospital. The seat comes with an insert for a smaller baby that can be removed as they grow. The base is easy to install and seat can be installed and removed with one button. Living in FL, the merino wool keeps cool with great circulation. Albee’s shipping was quick and the product was in pristine condition. Do yourself a favor and purchase!
Pros
  • Good for smaller babies
  • Easy to install/remove
  • Easy to adjust the strap height
  • Fits seamlessly into Vista
Best Uses
  • Car seat in car or on Vista stroller
Cons
  • N/A

Wonderful Car Seat! But keep in mind...
September 21, 2020
This car seat is so soft, comfy, and easy to install. I love keeping my baby in it. It secures very safely and I feel like I good a solid, secure install. I also found using Albee Baby to me, (yet again) such a good source! Shipping, customer service, and quality are all A+++.
My only point I think some people should keep in mind with this car seat is that if you live in a hot climate or you have a baby that gets hot easily, this might not be the best choice for you. I live in Florida and I have to really make sure the AC is going good before I put my little guy in this or he gets too hot and will sweat the whole time. While visiting family in a cooler climate however, this seat was perfect and he stayed cool and dry. I don't really fault the seat so I didn't deduct a star. Just keep in mind for hot climates, the seat might be a touch stuffy.
Pros
  • -comfy
  • -easy to install
  • -nice looking
  • -easy to clean
Cons
  • -maybe a little warm for hot climates

This 2019/2020 Mesa infant car seat was compatible with our 2017 Vista. It was very easy for my husband to install and is definitely our sturdiest car seat we purchased. Does not rock or budge and the installation videos on youtube are very helpful. Interior is very soft and has not faded with 1.5 years use--we park our car in the sun. I like how the cover/sun shield is so smooth and effortless to use.
Pros
  • Installation
  • Sturdiness
  • Quality
  • Easy to use
Best Uses
  • Infant until 1.5 year old
Cons
  • Heavy

I received my carseat in about a week or so and we installed it into the car with the help of some youtube videos. This took about 5-10 minutes and it was done. I was glad that I went with this company because there is no guessing with the products, it is all straight forward. I also really like the light gray fabric for the hot summer months. Really looking forward to carrying our little girl in this product in a short couple months.
