You won't see any changes to the UPPAbaby MESA from 2020 to 2021.

Looking ahead to 2022? UPPAbaby is releasing two new version of their best-selling infant car seat, the MESA V2 and MESA Max! See our UPPAbaby MESA V2 vs. UPPAbaby MESA comparison for details and watch a comparison of the new MESA V2 vs MESA Max car seats launched in 2022 in this video:

Between 2020 and 2021, UPPAbaby kept the same great features and fashions: Henry Blue Marl, Jordan Charcoal, Bryce White and Grey Marl, and Jake Black. It is common for car seats to only see updates every few years, which ensures continuity of design and safety features.

Any model year of the UPPAbaby MESA will continue to fit UPPAbaby strollers such as the VISTA, CRUZ and MINU, including the VISTA V2 and CRUZ V2 models.

Here are a few frequently asked questions about the differences between the 2020 UPPAbaby MESA and the 2021 UPPAbaby MESA.

Added in 2019, Bryce White Marl features an off-white canopy with a light, heather gray interior. Bryce White Marl complements the VISTA, VISTA V2, and CRUZ V2 strollers by the same name, and the Devin Grey Melange color of the MINU stroller.

2021 UPPABABY MESA PRICE VS. 2020 UPPABABY MESA PRICE

Prices for the UPPAbaby MESA are staying the same from 2020 to 2021. It is available in two fabric materials and two price points: $299.99 for polyester fabrics, and $349.99 for merino wool blend fabrics.

STROLLERS COMPATIBLE WITH 2021 UPPABABY MESA

Because UPPAbaby has never changed the functionality of the MESA, all model years of the car seat are compatible with all model years of the VISTA, CRUZ and MINU strollers.

No adapters are needed to attach the MESA to the CRUZ or to the VISTA from 2015-later. If you have an UPPAbaby VISTA from 2014-earlier, you'll need an adapter that you can obtain from UPPAbaby's website as a spare part. 

The MESA V2 and MESA Max models are compatible with the same strollers as a 2021 or 2022 UPPAbaby MESA.
