UPPAbaby MESA Car Seat Capsule Hire
Make those early journeys easier with the UPPAbaby MESA Car Seat Capsule. Designed for newborns through to approximately 12 months, the MESA combines convenient everyday use with thoughtful safety features — making it an ideal option for families who want a quality capsule without purchasing one for short-term use.
Key Features
- Suitable from birth — suitable from 2 kg, including low-birthweight newborns, with a custom-fit infant insert for added support.
- Suitable up to 15 kg — giving you plenty of use throughout your baby’s first year, depending on their growth.
- Professional installation included — your capsule is professionally installed as part of your hire, giving you added confidence that it has been fitted correctly before you take your baby on the road.
- SmartSecure® installation system — visual indicators help confirm that the capsule base is correctly installed.
- ISOFIX or seatbelt installation — the base can be installed using ISOFIX connectors or your vehicle’s seatbelt, with a built-in lock-off for a secure fit.
- Enhanced side-impact protection — designed with energy-absorbing materials to provide additional protection in the event of a collision.
- No-rethread harness — the harness and adjustable headrest can be adjusted as your baby grows without needing to rethread the harness.
- Easy car-to-pram transfer — the capsule can be removed from its base and attached directly to compatible UPPAbaby prams, allowing you to move your sleeping baby without unbuckling them.
- UPF canopy — provides protection from the sun while you’re out and about.
- Breathable, chemical-free fabrics — DualTech fabrics are free from fire-retardant chemicals.
- Removable, washable covers — making it easier to keep the capsule fresh and clean between uses.
- CASA approved — suitable for use on Australian aircraft, subject to airline requirements.
- Lightweight carrier — the capsule weighs approximately 4.7 kg without the base.
One Capsule, Two Cars
Have two cars? An additional MESA base can be hired for your secondary vehicle, making it easy to move the capsule between cars without having to reinstall the base each time.
This is a convenient option for families where both parents regularly drive baby, or where grandparents or another caregiver need to use the capsule.
Why Hire a Capsule Instead of Buying?
A baby capsule is an incredibly useful piece of baby equipment, but it can have a relatively short lifespan compared with other baby products. Hiring gives you access to a quality capsule during the newborn stage without the upfront cost or the hassle of storing it once your baby has outgrown it.
Hiring is a great option if you:
- Want a capsule for just the first few months.
- Don’t want to purchase equipment you’ll only use for a limited period.
- Are expecting a newborn and want to keep initial baby expenses down.
- Need a capsule temporarily while travelling or staying with family.
- Want the convenience of a capsule that can transfer from the car to a compatible pram.
- Prefer to return your baby equipment once your little one has moved on to the next stage.
Flexible Hire Periods
Choose the hire period that works for your family:
1 Month Hire | 3 Month Hire | 6 Month Hire
Professional installation is included with your capsule hire.
Need a second base for another vehicle? Additional bases are available to hire as an optional extra.
Please note: The MESA capsule is a child restraint and must be installed and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Always check compatibility with your vehicle and follow applicable Australian child-restraint requirements.
