Evaluation comments:
“I LOVE the fabric. The Marino wool is very comfortable and great for hot or cold weather. It’s naturally fire-resistant without any added chemicals and it helps regulate body temperature making it ideal for long car rides or stroller rides in hot weather.”
“UPPAbaby definitely put a lot of thought into making this a very user-friendly product. Car installation is a breeze. You know it’s secure when the innovative tightness indicator turns from red to green. This feature works either with base installation or seatbelt which give me peace of mind no matter how I’m transporting my daughter.”
“The most innovative feature in my opinion is the no-rethread harness. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to completely take apart my car seat after large blow-outs to clean it. The MESA is much easier to clean and reassemble. The adjustable seat back makes adjusting the harness straps so easy and you don’t have to completely rethread the belts through the back of the seat every time.”
“I also love the belt buckle pockets on either side of the seat. It makes it so easy to get the seatbelts out of the way when taking my daughter in and out. Trying to maneuver belts that fall under her is always a struggle with my other car seat.”
“The handle has no sharp edges and is comfortable to carry either by hand or arm. As my daughter gets heavier, this is becoming increasingly important!”
“I use it with the Uppababy MINU stroller and adaptors, and the set-up is very easy. My favorite part is the easy, one-button release on the handle. It clicks into the adaptors securely, and you remove it with one press of a button on the handle. It’s great on the go!”
“The color of my seat is a beautiful light gray/blue and the fabric is great. The car seat is sturdy and comfortable with the padding around the head area. The shade cover material is sleek, stretchy and wrinkle-free. It has a very streamlined, attractive design.”
“The car seat feels very sturdy even though it only weighs about 10 pounds.”
