Cosco Scenera Next
what parents are saying
Lightweight, inexpensive, easy to install. We live in a city and don't need to drive much/take cabs, and this is relatively easy to transport. Barebones, but that makes it simpler. (Apr 17, 2016)

We hated this seat! The plastic felt cheap and flimsy And it was nearly impossible to get a good install. The straps dig into our kids necks. We did not keep this seat. Jan 24, 2020

This seat is by far the easiest seat for airplane travel. Forward and rear facing, easy enough install in plane one you have practiced a few times and super lightweight! Lasted until 2.5 years old. Jan 20, 2020

Lightweight and easy to travel with but install and actually using the straps to secure child was somewhat cumbersome. Jan 17, 2020

This is our "travel car seat". Great on planes as it is only about 7 lbs. My daughter falls asleep in it because it is slightly more reclined then our Safety1st car seat. Cant beat the price! Jan 14, 2020

The seat itself is alright, difficult to adjust the height on the straps and the cupholder is worthless. Wouldn't recommend for an everyday seat but it is alright for our spare. Jan 14, 2020

Great option for travel, narrow, lightweight, easy to install, and best of all cheap! We got this to travel with and for use in our second car. We don't use as a primary seat though. Dec 19, 2019

Got this as an extra for when my mom keeps my son. It's easy to install and easily fits in her minivan, but not my Honda Civic. The padding is almost non-existent and the straps are a pain to tighten. Nov 24, 2019

I had two. I fit one RF on a diono angle adjuster next to a Graco snugride 35 in a base. Tight, but they fit! It's a bit wobbly RF, but still a great seat for a nanny (me) or for small cars (also me). Nov 22, 2019
- Shawna V.

It's compact enough to fit 3 in a row on the back row but the padding is minimal on this seat. It's not as comfortable as other seats out there in the market. I would not recommend this product. Nov 07, 2019

This is the #1 travel carseat you will find in blogs. It is extremely light and great for lugging around the airport. However, it is SO difficult to tighten that we have given up on it. Oct 18, 2019

We used this seat as a backup and for travel, but it could easily be used everyday. Lightweight and fits in the smallest of spaces, this seat is one of the best bargains out there. Oct 18, 2019

Cosco seats are some of my favorite seats to install. We use the scenera as a travel seat/spare. It’s not a super tall harness so it doesn’t last long but for $50 it’s a great seat. Oct 04, 2019

We had a small car and needed the smallest convertible car seat we could find. This is it, and it fit. With that said, it is a very basic car seat, difficult to install and buckle the child in. Sep 16, 2019

GREAT travel seat! Super lightweight and easy to transport. Price is on point for this specific reason. Not very comfortable, no bells and whistles, but it gets the job done :) Aug 26, 2019

We have this carseat and works fine, great price but only goes up to 40lbs and not much padding. It also lacks any extra inserts for smaller babies. Jul 29, 2019

Lightest, most practical travel car seat! We use the clek everyday but this is a must have bc it’s so light for air travel- we paid overages to travel with our britax overseas! Jul 11, 2019

For rear facing not a fan, sits very low and almost as if my daughter is laying down not sitting. Forward facing is better. Plus: good price and small size for an extra seat for the babysitter. Jul 05, 2019

Lightweight, fit newborn comfortably with infant insert and provide plenty room when baby is bigger. Baby doesn't sweat as much in this one compare to other infant car seat. Rear and front facing Jun 25, 2019

Sedalia, Missouri
Not a high weight limit, not enough harness settings . My 16 month old is already on the highest setting so now it’s time to get a better seat. I would not consider this a convertible seat at all. Nov 25, 2019

Bare bones car seat. So cheap at Walmart. Not comfy for long rides, but great as a second seat, or a seat for grandparents/ babysitter. Aug 17, 2019
- Trista C.

Got this as a backup seat. I know it's safe, but it just doesn't seem as strong as my Graco convertible seat. Not sure I'd ever use it as primary travel seat. Sep 14, 2018
- Yazmin R.
Cedar Falls, Iowa
It's a great lightweight and inexpensive carseat. We bought it for our 3 year old and she loves it. It's easy to install and it's not as bulky as most so it fits great in our SUV. Jan 11, 2018

It is a good seat for the price and fits well in a 3 across situation. Not the easiest to get a good install and overall just seems brittle compared to my other sturdy seats. I know its still safe. Nov 30, 2017
- Rachel H.
Richmond , Indiana
Have had this car seat! It's not bad and would be good as a back up or for family. Lighteweight and easy to install. I do not feel as if its as sturdy as others. It does recline far! rear or fw facing Oct 22, 2017

This carseat is really tough to use, we bought this as a backup for Grandparents. It doesn't sit well in half of the cars we install it in- and doesn't seem safe so we don't ever use it. Sep 27, 2016
