Cosco Scenera Convertible Car Seat in Nitron

Rating

I got this seat as a 2nd car seat for my hubby's car. It's easy to install and works great as a second/backup car seat. It doesn't seem to be the most comfortable seat, but good for the money you pay. The only complaint I have with this seat is the straps get a little off center when I'm trying to tighten sometimes and that drives me nuts. But like I said-this is a great seat for the $. I think we've just been spoiled with our $250+ primary seat.

We bought as our second car seat, love it! Cushioning / padding is nice- this is hard to tell from an online picture, but it is nice. Fits our 1 yr old well.

I love the color and the size! It reclines so that baby can take a bottle or snooze. It is easy to set up and install into my car. I can put the baby in and take him out easy and I love that it is rear facing AND forward facing. I think that this is an excellent product and the price was great!I have 2 of these. One for my car in my state and one that I keep at my Grandmother's for when we fly in for a visit.

We've been using this seat for 2 weeks now. Overall I'm pleased with it....but when you consider how inexpensive it was, I'm VERY pleased with it. I initially purchased this because it is a Consumer Reports Best Buy for convertible car seats. Our thought was that if it didn't live up to our expectations, it would work as a secondary seat for daddy's car. It's definitely not perfect. As other people have said, the padding is thin....but this could easily be complemented if you are a creative sort with a sewing machine. And for local driving, I think the thin padding is fine (I'd want to get something additional for longer trips). The chest buckle is a bit large and awkward (made of plastic) but works fine. There are two crotch buckles that function independently. Sometimes when I'm unlocking my daughter, I don't push hard enough and only release one of the two buckles. The crotch buckles are made of metal. Now that I'm getting the hang of it, the unlatching doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm using the LATCH system (the hooks). It would be a PAIN if I had to switch this car seat from car to car. We haven't tried the belt method since the LATCH system works well. If you are only getting one car seat and switching it between cars, this one could be a challenge.BUT as I first mentioned, for the price of this car seat, it is very good.

Excellent product. Safelty and quality seems comparable to my other more expensive car seat. Design is sharp. Color looks great on my black leather seats. Obviousy for this price you don't get all the bells and whistles. However, overall: GREAT VALUE!
