Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.

Quick response
Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.
Amazing value
Saved a ton on a big item. Thank you, Kidsy!

Kidsy Customer Service Review
Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.
Looks like new

Discussion on Baby Gear Lab's credibility regarding Mesa V3 crash tests
The Mesa v3 did nothing to improve on the prior version's crash test results. Unfortunately, the sensors in its crash test recorded some of the highest G-forces in the group.

Mesa V3 vs Aria V2: portability vs. integration debate
I have the mesa v3 and love it for its looks, easy install (latch system) and adjustability, but for some reason it forces my newborn into a hunching over position that doesn't seem comfortable... I kinda wish we went a different route (i was eye-ing joie + nuna) but we found the vista for a good price on marketplace, so we figured we'd buy the mesa.

Concerns over Mesa V3 crash test performance in Canada
Some third-party crash-test data indicate head-sensor performance below the class average, though the seat meets all CMVSS requirements.

Long-term satisfaction with UPPAbaby Cruz and Mesa car seat
Congrats! I’m due in May as well, my second baby. With my first, we got the UppaBaby Cruz stroller which we LOVED and used so much. The stroller is light, compact but has a lot of storage space. And we got the UppaBaby Mesa baby car seat that clicks directly on the stroller. I could not recommend it more.

Predaddit discussion on choosing an infant car seat
We are getting the Uppababy Cruz 3 stroller with the Mesa V3 seat and adding a bassinet attachment as we go on frequent walks. I like how sturdy it is for our cracked/brick city sidewalks, and we get snow and ice so we like the wheels on it.

Parents of multiples debate V3 worth for twins
If you own or plan a UPPAbaby stroller, this is the natural choice. The carrier is heavy at 9.9 lbs; for portability, the Aria V2 is better.
