Go with the Mesa V3 if you see yourself pairing your car seat with one of our compatible strollers more often than carrying it on your arm. It’s also a great choice if you appreciate little features that make life easier.

Go with the Aria V2 if your on-the-go lifestyle means you’ll be carrying your car seat around and frequently traveling. This featherlight option is ideal for planes, rideshares, apartment living that requires you to frequently tackle flights of stairs, and generally taking the weight off of your shoulders.
