If you're comparing the best rated infant car seat or the best rated rear facing car seat, the Mesa is built around the feature parents value most: a genuinely simple, secure installation.
The SMARTSecure System installs the base in seconds and confirms a tight fit, while European Routing lets you install the carrier on its own for quick trips. Paired with Advanced Side Impact Protection and a 25-position headrest that grows with your baby, the Mesa is a strong pick for parents searching for a best rated newborn car seat ahead of their first ride home.
Read verified reviews from UPPAbaby parents to see how the Mesa performs from the first ride home through the infant year, and see why it's frequently named among the best rated car seat options for new parents. Every Mesa is GREENGUARD Gold certified, meets federal safety standards, and clicks directly onto the Vista and Cruz strollers to form a complete travel system.
Head to the Car Seat Center for step-by-step install help, or the Infant Car Seat Fit Guide to double-check the fit before your first ride.
