Its sturdy build with included load leg, anti-rebound+ panel, and infinite adjustable headrest will give parents reassurance every ride.

  • PROTECTION FROM ALL SIDES: The adjustable headrest is reinforced with EPP foam to help absorb energy while the integrated design of our Side Impact Protection keeps babys head protected during a collision. Additionally, the 4th rebound carry handle position allows for increased safety and aids in absorbing rebound forces.
  • INSTALL IN SECONDS: The Mesa Max can be installed in a matter of seconds! We make installation quick and simple for you by combining our SmartSecure system, auto-retracting LATCH design, bubble level indicators, and red to green visual indicators. The base is also designed with a four-position adjustable foot for easy leveling during installation.
  • ANTI-REBOUND+ PANEL: The anti-rebound+ panel provides increased safety and protection by limiting the rotation and movement of the car seat in the event of a rear-impact collision.
  • ACCURATE + CUSTOMIZED FIT: The infinite adjustable headrest allows for a more accurate and customized fit as baby grows. Plus, our simple one-crotch buckle position and no-rethread, adjustable harness makes buckling up a breeze.
  • PERFORMANCE TRAVEL SYSTEM: For the ultimate in portability and safety, Mesa Max directly attaches to both the Vista and Cruz strollers. It is even compatible with the Minu and Ridge with the addition of convenient adapters. This creates a stylish and simple solution that goes from drive to stroll.

  • Very comfy
Color: Anthony (White Grey Marl) Pattern Name: Car Seat
Love the new uppababy car seat! We had the old version for our last two kids and decided to pay extra for the extended visor. When it arrived I was impressed with how comfy it was and how it was just as easy to use as the previous car seats (the biggest reason I choose uppababy is the ease of use). The visor is the perfect length and I enjoy how much quieter it is than the older version. I also noticed the handle bar is much quieter and easier to maneuver than the older version. The first part of the base was easy to click in and attach to the car. However, the rebound bar took awhile to figure out and it takes up a significant amount of floor space with it needing to be at a specific angle. This makes it difficult to put in other cars if they don’t enough floor space to have a seated passenger in the front with the car seat in the back. It’s also impossible for kids to climb out from the side of the vehicle with the base installed even if the car seat isn’t in. Uppababy should make a base without the bar for those who don’t find it necessary or simply don’t have the space for it. Otherwise the car seat is great! My newborn absolutely loves it and falls asleep quickly during car rides. ... show more

  • Lots of great features, durable, and safe!
Color: Jake (Charcoal) Pattern Name: Car Seat
I love this car seat! Features makes it easy to install the base with the retractable flex latch, or with the seat belt. You can even install the car seat without the base! Benefits of the Mesa Max base is that it reduces forward and backward sway because of the option to use the stabilization leg, and has a higher base platform against the seat of the car. The car seat it self is sleek, durable, and makes you feel at ease that your baby is protected. Love that the overhead cover has a greater range of covering the baby. Also easy to connect and disconnect the car seat from the base and from an UPPAbaby stroller if you have one. ... show more

  • I really thought I would love it but…
Color: Greyson (Charcoal Melange) Pattern Name: Car Seat
I have the upper baby vista stroller. So I definitely wanted an upper baby car seat for the ease of attaching it by just clicking it in without adapters. We were gifted the upper baby Mesa V2 originally. I waited for five months patiently for the Mesa Max to be released as it looked like it was very similar to the Nuna RX lite, which had a ton of upgraded safety features and conveniences compared to the other baby car seats. Upon receiving the max, there were several things that disappointed us, and we contemplated returning it, and just keeping the V2 or buying the Nuna. Below is my breakdown of the pros and cons of the two upper baby car seats we have. Mess V2: Although it was very nice, there were certain features, and I didn’t care for about it. The main one being the strap that tightens and loosens the harness. It was extremely difficult to try to grab when it was fully retracted in order to tighten it. It needed a pen or something thin and cylinder that could slide through the strap in order to give you some sort of leverage to be able to pull it. We would end up having to reach underneath the car seat and try to pull the strap from under the car seat, by the thread part, which isn’t supposed to be how you do it. We struggled each and every time we tried to use his car seat with the strap. The shade hood is nice, but does not come as far forward as many other car seats. This was not a dealbreaker. However, it’s something to be noted. This car seat base does not have a rebound bar safety feature when in the vehicle, nor a load leg. Both provide extra safety in the event of a crash. The upgrade max version does include these as well as the Neuner competitor car seat. Although these are probably not needed, as many people survived for several decades without these features in car seats. However, after researching and having the option to buy one with it, I decided I wanted one. Mesa Max: Pros, it includes the extra safety features similar to its competitor car seat. It has a load leg on the base as well as a higher foot plate, which is an extra rebound bar. It has a longer shade canopy to provide more privacy and shade. Although it does feel cheaper than the V2 material. I bought the Greyson color, which is supposed to be an upgraded material, and I’m not happy with it. It feels a bit rough compared to the V2 and it collects lint like crazy! Our V2 did not collect lint like this. They improved the tightening strap for the harness tremendously!! I absolutely love this upgraded change. It is super easy to not only tighten, but also to loosen the straps now. They changed the pieces on the sides that you can temporarily insert the harness straps into to hold them while you get the baby in and out of. Both the V2 and the max were easy to use. I’m not sure that I necessarily have a preference, maybe the max… The headrest protection is way bigger on the max, which is one of the reasons I liked it, and although I like the extra safety, now having it, it makes it challenging to get the baby in and out of. It’s very hard to get the straps on their shoulders due to the headrest also. All in all the max feels much cheaper for some reason than the V2. The V2 feels like better quality and more solid. The load leg does rattle a bit if you do not have the car seat attached while you’re driving, keep that in mind. The headrest slides up and down to adjust it for when the baby gets taller. We hate this new way of adjusting it! It does not click in securely as you change the height levels. It just slides up and down as you pull and push. Which has caused it to adjust lower during travel and storing the car seat if anything slightly leans on it. The V2 worked differently. You pulled a little strap as you adjusted the headrest, and then it will click into place securely. Overall, we are not happy with the max. We contemplated returning it, and just keeping the V2 or buying the Nuna RX. I really wish I went with the Nuna RX. The reason I did not was because you needed an additional adapter for my particular stroller. And I didn’t feel like having to buy the extra accessories for the cost of everything. Obviously, without owning the Nuna I do not know if there are things I would dislike about it, but I see so many people with it who seem very happy. When I saw it in the store and held it, it just seem like it was made much better than the new upper baby Max car seat. ... show more

  • Well worth the price!
Color: Gregory (Blue Melange) Pattern Name: Car Seat
Was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a carseat but I believe I made the right choice. A few of my friends opted for the more economical brands and regret doing so and have had to buy more than one carseat. Quality and color are gorgeous (purchased blue melange). Extra newborn cushion is a great bonus that I wasn’t expecting! ... show more

  • Rattles

No complaints except for rattle sounds from the car seat base. There is a lot of play designed in the leg, but sadly no padding to prevent rattles.
