It features the Smart Secure system for quick installation, an adjustable headrest with side impact protection, and a five-point harness. This brand-new item does not ship in the original box; it is heavier than many competitors and lacks a load leg or anti-rebound bar, but it meets federal safety standards and is praised for easy installation and stroller compatibility.","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-uppababy-mesa-infant-car-seat-jake-black","brand":"UPPAbaby","condition":"new","product_category":"Baby & Toddler > Baby Transport > Baby & Toddler Car Seats > Infant Car Seats","item_weight_unit":"lb","age_group":"infant","image_url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-uppababy-mesa-infant-car-seat-jake-black-1512875.jpg?v=1781644808&width=823","additional_image_urls":["https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-uppababy-mesa-infant-car-seat-jake-black-8886600.jpg?v=1781644808&width=823"],"images":[{"id":"img-1783486435887-0","url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-uppababy-mesa-infant-car-seat-jake-black-1512875.jpg?v=1781644808&width=823","width":737,"height":737,"alt_text":"New UPPAbaby MESA V2 Infant Car Seat - Jake (Black) product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"mood":["clean","clinical"],"text":"MESA.
