The UPPAbaby Mesa car seat base installs in a car using a very unique self-retracting LATCH system called Smart Secure. Simply click in the LATCH connectors, and push down hard. The retractors work like a charm, and there’s an indicator window that goes from green to red when the seat is snug. This tension indicator measures pressure on the bottom of the base, so it works for seatbelt installations in addition to LATCH. For seat belt installations, there are also built-in lockoffs. The base itself is a low-profile, slim design that gives parents a clear sightline to be sure the car seat is docked properly, and fits even contoured vehicle seats nicely. There’s an adjustable level, and an easy-to-read level indicator on both sides of the seat. The bottom of the base is completely finished, eliminating the need for a seat protector under the car seat (a CPST no-no).
Compatible with UPPAbaby Mesa, Mesa V2 & Mesa V3 infant car seats. Not compatible with Mesa Max.
