***jcsntms06*** (Cosco Scenera carseat)

autumn bliss

Jen, if I remember correctly, you ended up getting the Cosco Scenra convertible car seat for A. for your second car?  We have the Britax Marathon, which is a beast, in DH's car since DD is in that one the most.  I still have the infant car seat in mine but she is just about outgrown it.  We are looking for a 2nd car seat and don't know if we want another beast of one and one that costs that much.  I did look at the Graco My Ride 65 that is often recommended, but it seems just as big!  Does A. seem comfortable in the Cosco Scenera and would you recommend it?

I'm butting in too!

We have one for DCP's car and DS does fine in it.  He seems comfortable (and has fallen asleep many times!)  I wouldn't take it on a cross country trip or anything, lol - but it is perfect for a secondary seat.  

FWIW, our primary seat is a MyRide 65 and it is huge!

I'm not a big fan of the Cosco Scenera. Yes the price was good, but when A falls asleep her head leans forward and I worry. We bought one of those things that goes around her neck, but she doesn't really help that either. 

In my aunt's car we have the evenflo triumph and I really like that carseat. It's slim and easy to get her in and out. I have the myride in the pilot and its my favorite seat, very comfy for A and it has good head support, unlike the cosco scenera. Plus the CS only goes up to 40lbs. Myride and triumph both can be used up to 65lbs.

The Seneca doesn't recline as much as the MyRide in the rear facing position...  I think it may be good when the child has more neck control and if you are planning on RF after 1.  I tried putting a rolled up towel under it and that worked for a while, but eventually the towel got flat.

We had an Evenflo Triumph in DH's car before he totaled it.  It's a great seat, and when DH was t-boned (on A's side of the car) Aiden walked away without a scratch.

The Britax Roundabout is also a bit smaller than the Marathon.
