  "question": "Which travel systems hold their resale value, or are they worth buying secondhand?",
  "answer": "No checked fact covers resale value. The facts that bear on buying secondhand are below.\n\nUPPAbaby Vista V3 (bundle with RumbleSeat V3 and Aria V2): Car seats carry a 10-year product lifetime warranty from date of manufacture; all other UPPAbaby products carry a 3-year limited warranty from purchase, and the warranty is not transferable and needs proof of purchase from an authorised retailer. UPPAbaby states the warranty requires the product to have been used in line with its manual, and the model and version are printed with the serial number on a white label on the frame near the rear axle.\n\nUPPAbaby Cruz V3 + Mesa V3 Travel System Bundle: Discontinue use of the Mesa V3 after 7 years from the date of manufacture or after a crash.\n\nUPPAbaby Vista V3: To tell which version you own, check the model and version on the white label with the serial number on the frame near the rear axle.",
