Cosco Scenera Next
what parents are saying
Bought this as an extra seat for my parents, I don't love the lack of safety cushioning but for an occasionally used seat it has definitely done its job. (May 09, 2017)

I got this as a backup seat but instantly regretted it because it offers little to no padding and I couldn’t get the install correct no matter how I tried. It wasn’t even worth the $40 I spent on it. May 29, 2022

Don’t regret it (for the price) but don’t love it, mainly for the darn straps you have to be the hulk to get those loose and tight May 13, 2022

Annoying to install and annoying to change the strap heights Apr 02, 2022

I did so much research and this is the best rated travel car seat since it is so light weight and easy on the wallet. But it is very minimal padding and bare bones. Not sure how comfortable this is. Mar 12, 2022

Great travel/back up seat but not for a primary/convertible seat. Low weight/height limits but small space friendly. I only got less than a year of use because of low limits. Love the low sides. Mar 12, 2022
Used this as a back up seat. It was alright. It is a decent price, but due to height restrictions, it is outgrown pretty quickly. Feb 27, 2022

Got this through my car insurance company. Easy to install, easy to adjust the straps as child grows. I've had mine for almost 3 years. We liked it so much my parents got one for their car. Feb 23, 2022

The Scenera Next is a great car seat if you are on a budget or need an extra car seat for grandparents or travel. This carseat has gone with us on multiple family trips. Jan 20, 2022
It is a good seat for the price. It is a little difficult to tighten the straps snugly on the baby but for the price it is definitely worth the extra effort. Dec 07, 2021

The basic carseat when changing from the heavy infant seat. Nov 02, 2021

This seat was great as a cheaper option for long distance traveling in a spare vehicle. I wouldn’t use this every day but it was a great option to have for back up. Very inexpensive also. Oct 07, 2021

We love this for traveling but would not use it for normal day-to-day commutes. The quality is pretty low but for cost, it's pretty great Oct 06, 2021

Very basic, no frills seat. Not a ton of padding or fancy kickoffs, but it is so lightweight and narrow it’s great fit travel or small spaces. It won’t last a super long time, but very inexpensive Oct 06, 2021
Great for a back up Sep 13, 2021
Bottom of the barrel option. Getting a good install takes a lot of effort and Baby was uncomfortable. Hardly any padding and no extras. Cheap but still not worth it to me. Sep 09, 2021

Perfect travel/second car seat! So lightweight! straps can get a little twisted/hard to tighten, but overall it's really convenient Aug 24, 2021

We use this as our travel car seat, on the plane, in the rental etc. It's very light and you can buy separately a backpack to put it in so you don't have to carry it in your hands on the airport. Aug 02, 2021

Honestly for every child I have had except my youngest they have used these seats. Exact model just different skin. In my opinion I love how they have a recline to them keeps my kids head comfortable. Jun 10, 2021

It's not my favorite. My son is only 23lbs and the straps are getting extremely tight Jun 05, 2021

It’s simple and not awkward to move like a lot of car seats. But it’s not super comfortable for the kids, and it was a little hard to install. But fine for the price. May 29, 2021

Love this as a travel car seat! My mom uses them in her car for short trips! The price is unbeatable and they secure very well! We own two and will likely purchase more for the twins! May 17, 2021
I use this as a spare and it works great for travel purposes. So when we travel and rent a car, we don’t have to rent a car seat either. May 07, 2021

Best lightweight travel car seat! I actually get a large circle ring and attach this car seat to a carryon luggage with the latch system and carry it through the airport like that! May 06, 2021

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
- Amber B.

Lightweight, easy to install, and very affordable. I do wish it had an infant head insert though. This is very compact do it's great for small cars or airplane travel. Apr 14, 2019

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.

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

Super lightweight, super easy to install. Great travel seat, back up seat, grandparents seat.. etc Dec 01, 2017
- 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

This is an affordable seat that is still comfortable for baby. It comes in cute colors and prints and the seat pad is easily washable. Aug 18, 2016

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 use this car seat whenever we fly. It's light weight so it's easy to haul through the airport. It's quick to install on planes and in rental cars using the seat belt. Apr 17, 2015
