UPPAbaby
Aria Lightweight Infant Car Seat
At just under 6 lbs., the Aria was designed to define new standards of safety and convenience in the realm of easy-to-carry baby gear. Its strong yet light build with SmartSecure® technology, Anti-Rebound+ Panel, and extra-large canopy provides a safe and comfortable ride for baby.
Expert Reviews
BabyGearLab Review
The UPPAbaby Aria received a low score of 5 out of 100 in our review, ranking ninth out of fifteen infant car seats tested. Its lightweight design and compatibility with UPPAbaby strollers without the need for adapters are notable advantages. However, the seat's installation process is a significant drawback, as we found it challenging to secure properly using both the LATCH system and vehicle belt. Overall, while the Aria has some appealing features, it falls short in critical areas, making it less competitive compared to other options on the market.
