Cosco Scenera NEXT

[ladygrey]

Any thoughts on this car seat? We're looking at a seat for my parents to use, and it looks like they have greatly improved the original Scenera according to reviews. Also, the price is about half the cost of other similar, inexpensive seats (Safety 1st Guide 65, Evenflo SureRide) that we're considering - what's the catch?

Installing it rear facing is very, very difficult. Forward facing it's not bad though. I would spend a little more, search out sales and clearance first. Admittedly my dislike for the Scenera is probably well known on this board though. ;-)

It is widely recommended on the csftl Facebook page, that said, I haven't used it. We have an Evenflo Tribute (similar price point) in my ILs car and it was hard to install. I (maybe incorrectly) think that all the cheaper seats are harder to install because I've been spoiled by the high end seats with the easy install.

It looks like the NEXT is much easier to install. I recall your frustration with the original Scenara, though.
