Common problems with the UPPAbaby Mesa (original)
- Yes. UPPAbaby says the Mesa V3 carrier works with both the original Mesa base and the Mesa V2 base.
- You do not need to buy a new base just because you upgraded the carrier.
- Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it well. Do not use anything abrasive.
- If the frame touched salt water, rinse those parts with fresh tap water as soon as you can to stop corrosion.
- Spot clean or hand wash the fabrics in cold water with mild detergent and dry them flat, out of direct sun. No bleach, ironing or dry cleaning.
- Do not fold or store the stroller while it is damp or wet.
- UPPAbaby sells genuine replacement parts, including wheels, seat fabrics and canopies, on its Spare Parts page.
- If you cannot find the part you need, contact UPPAbaby Customer Experience at (844) 823-3132 or support@uppababy.com.
