The UppaBaby Mesa V2 car seat is similar to the UppaBaby Mesa 2021, but not the same. It has a larger sun canopy for more UV ray protection, and comes with an infant insert that can hold 4-11 pounds (the Mesa 2021 could hold just 4-8 pounds). Aside from being adjustable between 3 positions like the Mesa, the Mesa V2 handlebar also acts as an anti-rebound bar which increases safety in rebound and rear-impact collisions. It also has a European belt path. All fabrics on the Mesa V2 are flame-retardant free.
There's a little tag at the bottom front of the car seat that says V2, and also, the word MESA is imprinted on the front bottom of the car seat.

Fashions are as follows: Jake (Charcoal), Stella (Grey Melange), & Alice (Dusty Pink).
The UppaBaby Mesa V2 car seat will be available for purchase in autumn of 2022.
In the video below, you'll see how the Mesa V2 compares with UPPAbaby's other car seat that came out about the same time as the MESA V2, the UPPAbaby Mesa Max.
