What to know

Same 7-year life as the rest of the MESA series. UPPAbaby's 10-year limited warranty is defect coverage, not usable life; the seat still expires at 7 years.

The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. The expiration date and date of manufacture are printed on labels on the bottom of the seat shell and on the car seat base. The serial number needed for registration and support is on the same label.

Safety note: SeatCheck summarizes manufacturer and NHTSA guidance, but the label on your own seat and its manual are the final word. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer with your model and serial number.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the UPPAbaby MESA MAX good for?
The UPPAbaby MESA MAX has a useful life of 7 years from its date of manufacture. The exact date is printed on the seat's own label, so check the sticker on the shell or base rather than counting from the purchase date.
Where is the expiration date on the UPPAbaby MESA MAX?
The expiration date and date of manufacture are printed on labels on the bottom of the seat shell and on the car seat base. The serial number needed for registration and support is on the same label.
Should I replace the MESA MAX after a crash?
The MESA V2 manual tells owners to discontinue use of the child restraint after a crash. UPPAbaby customer experience evaluates crash cases individually and can provide documentation for insurance replacement; contact them at (844) 823-3132 with the crash details and your serial number before reusing any UPPAbaby seat that has been in a collision.
