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)

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

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

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

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.
McCalla, Alabama
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

- Rachael H.

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
