UPPAbaby Kona + Mesa Travel System
UPPAbaby Kona + Mesa Travel System
SKU: 72939
The UPPAbaby Kona + Mesa V3 Travel System is a complete stroller and infant car seat combo for new parents in Canada. You get the compact UPPAbaby Kona stroller, the Mesa V3 infant car seat and its car seat base, all in one order. The Mesa V3 clicks straight onto the Kona with no adapters, so you can move your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller in seconds.
The Kona is UPPAbaby's in-between stroller. It's lighter and more nimble than the full-size Cruz V3, but more capable every day than the ultra-compact Minu V3. With a lay-flat recline and a one-hand fold, it works from birth up to 50 lb. That makes this travel system a smart choice for city families, condo living, transit and smaller cars, from Vancouver to the rest of Canada.
Shop it online with free shipping across Canada on orders over $89.99, or see it in person at our North Vancouver and Langley stores. Our team will help you choose and install your infant car seat.

Who is this travel system best for?
- City and condo families who need a stroller that's easy to steer on busy sidewalks and fits in elevators and small entryways
- Parents with smaller cars who want a one-hand fold and a lighter stroller to lift into the trunk
- Transit and travel: the Mesa V3 carrier is FAA certified for aircraft use and can be installed without the base using a seat belt, which is handy for taxis, ride-shares and trips
- Families who want one stroller from newborn to toddler: use the car seat on the stroller in the early months, then switch to the Kona seat in lay-flat mode, and keep using it up to 50 lb
How the travel system works, from newborn to toddler
In the car: install the Mesa V3 base once, then click the car seat in and out. SmartSecure® indicators turn from red to green when the base is installed tightly.
Car to stroller: lift the car seat out of the base and click it straight onto the Kona frame. No adapters needed.
Growing up: when you're ready, use the Kona's own seat. It reclines flat for newborns and grows with your child up to 50 lb, with an adjustable footrest and an extended seat back for older babies and toddlers.
