Selected FAQs
Are the harness pads required on the Mesa?
The harness pads are optional. They may need to be removed when using the Mesa with a smaller child to achieve proper harness tightness and chest clip placement.
What if you can’t find a proper angle when installing the Mesa?
If a proper angle cannot be achieved with the adjustable foot, a rolled towel may be used.
When do I transition my baby out of the Mesa?
UPPAbaby recommends transitioning your child out the Mesa V2 by their first birthday or the 1-inch rule, whichever comes first. The 1-inch rule is applied when your child is using the headrest in its highest position and when the top of their head is less than 1-inch from the top of the headrest structure. Please note that transition should also occur when your child meets the 35 lb weight limit.
Can I use a vehicle protector mat?
Our TravelSafe Program takes the stress out of air travel by ensuring your UPPAbaby gear is fully protected. Simply purchase a Travel Bag and any damages during air travel are fully No, UPPAbaby does not allow vehicle seat protectors with their car seats because they haven't been tested or approved for use. The car seat base has a finished bottom to prevent vehicle seat damage.
