Mesa V2 vs. Mesa V3 Comparison

If you're shopping for an infant car seat and already have your eye on a UPPAbaby stroller, you may be wondering which UPPAbaby infant car seat will be the best fit for your family. The Mesa V2 has been a long-time go-to choice for parents for many years due to its sleek look, ease of use, and effortless compatibility with UPPAbaby strollers. Now, almost 3 years since the launch of the Mesa V2 model, it is finally getting an upgrade: the Mesa V3

So what's new?

Here is everything you need to know about the NEW UPPAbaby Mesa V3!

Updated Head Rest

The Mesa V3 now offers a 25-position headrest for the most customized fit for your little one. This also includes a no-rethread harness to make it simple and hassle-free to adjust when your child grows. 

Improved Canopy Coverage

One of the most notable upgrades to the Mesa V3 is the deluxe, full-coverage canopy! The Mesa V2 model offered a large canopy with UPF 25+, but UPPAbaby took it up a notch. The Mesa V3 now offers an XL UPF 50+ coverage canopy that extends out for even more protection, and now offers a peek-a-boo window as well as extra mesh ventilation throughout the canopy. 

Convenience Upgrades

The Mesa V3 has built-in magnetic buckle holders to keep the straps out of the way when loading your child in and out of the vehicle for an added level of convenience for parents. 

Compliant With Newest Safety Standards

The Mesa V3 Advanced Side Impact Protection meets FVMSS New 213A regulation and 213B.

New Fashions

The Mesa V3 offers parents 5 different fashions to choose from! The assortment will still have the core colors like Jake Black and Greyson Charcoal Melange but for parents looking to branch out with colors there are 3 new stylish options to choose from: Callum/ Dillan Stone Blue, Savannah Pearl Gray, and the super popular Declan Oat Melange

Travel System Capabilities

Just like the Mesa V2, the Mesa V3 allows for easy travel system compatibility among UPPAbaby strollers. It directly attaches the Vista V3 and Cruz V2/Cruz V3 frames without adapters. For an easy and compact system, add adapters to the Minu V3 for a seamless travel setup. Looking for a more all-terrain option? Don't worry, you can attach the Mesa V3 with adapters on the UPPAbaby Ridge Jogging Stroller, too!
