VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY

 – Choosing a Vehicle Seating Location

The safest seating position is one that works best  
for your specific car seat, family and vehicle. When  
determining whether the MESA V2 rear-facing car 
seat can be used with lower anchors in the rear center 
seating position, it is critical that you refer to your 
vehicle owner’s instruction book. If the MESA V2 does 
not install best in the rear center seating location, it 
is recommended to move to one of the outboard 
seating positions.
Before installing this child restraint you MUST  
determine the method of installation and the best 
vehicle seating position for that method. This child 
restraint can be installed either using 

LATCH

 or the 

VEHICLE SEAT BELT

ALWAYS 

park on a level 

surface when installing a 
Child Restraint.

Please read the following information before installing this Child Restraint!
