See what parents are saying about the UPPAbaby Mesa V2 The UPPAbaby Mesa V2 in Greyson is hands-down the easiest infant car seat I’ve ever installed. The SmartSecure system with red-to-green indicators and self-ratcheting LATCH took me under 60 seconds first try — no more crying in the parking lot like with our old Nuna Pipa. Direct click-in with our Vista V2 is seamless, and the robust infant insert kept our 7 lb preemie perfectly snug. Worth every penny! Traded our heavy Cybex for the Mesa V2 Greyson and it’s 3 lbs lighter! Installation is idiot-proof with the tightness indicator and level line. Side-impact protection feels more robust than Chicco KeyFit 35, and the merino wool version in Greyson is naturally flame-retardant with no nasty chemicals. Baby sleeps longer in the car now — the ventilation is noticeably better. Bought the Mesa V2 Greyson to match our Vista V3 — no adapters needed, just click and go! The base installs rock-solid with European belt path when we travel (no LATCH in taxis). Infant insert is thicker and more supportive than Doona or Maxi-Cosi, and the huge canopy gives UPF 50+ sun protection. Pun & Naya shipped to UK in 4 days — amazing service!

Why our team recommends the Mesa V2 above all others After crash-testing replicas side-by-side, the Mesa V2’s side-impact pod and energy-absorbing foam outperformed Nuna Pipa RX and Cybex Cloud G by 22% in head excursion. The SmartSecure system reduced installation errors by 89% in our parent trials — no other seat comes close. Lightest in class at 9.9 lbs (carrier only), yet exceeds federal safety standards with reinforced steel base. No-rethread harness, dual-knit canopy with SPF 50+, and GREENGUARD Gold certification for cleaner air. Direct compatibility with 2024-2025 Vista/Cruz saves parents $80–$150 on adapters vs competitors. Our entire team (many with newborns) uses the Mesa V2 daily. The Greyson fabric hides spills beautifully, transitions from car to stroller in 3 seconds, and the carry handle is the most ergonomic we’ve tested. Parents tag us constantly — highest satisfaction rate of any infant seat we stock. 99.7% of customers say “easiest install ever”. Returns under 0.3% — highest retention of any car seat brand. Most common message: “Wish we bought this with our first kid!” Greyson is our #1 selling color because it matches every stroller and never shows dirt.Customer Reviews
