With the MESA MAX Infant Car Seat and Base, UPPAbaby is ensuring a cozy and comfortable ride for your little one while also providing you the peace of mind that they're riding in a seat that's taken safety to the max! The MESA MAX's base has two NEW features: a load leg and an anti-rebound+ panel to add even more security if a collision occurs.
Along with an even larger canopy and headrest, the seat provides additional protection from the elements as well as side-impact protection. Installation is a breeze with its SmartSecure® system and an auto-retracting LATCH design, with a European belt route option as well, giving you plenty of easy options. Factor in the quality fabrics you've come to love from UPPAbaby as well as simple compatibility with their line of strollers, and you've got a safe, stylish, and high-quality infant car seat that's a win for you and your baby!
