cosco scenera ?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
I got this seat for my mom's car and had DS in it the other day for the first time. It was super easy to insall and I like it, but when I put DS in it there was something that seemed off. The clip the is in the crotch area ( where the shoulder straps clip into) is really far back...almost like DS is sitting on it and i had to pull it out but it was still really far back under his butt. Is there a different setting or something for this crotch strap...am i doing something wrong? thanks!

    I also noticed that the crotch strap is back far.  There's no way to adjust it either.  I hate the Scenera.  I wish I would have purchased something a little better/easier to use, though I'm sure it's just as safe.

    wait ! I just googled and found out that there are 3 crotch strap positions..it's supposed to be adjustable from the back of the seat. This will be awesome if it works!!

    It does have two settings. Mine came with the strap threaded to closer to the crotch one. I just removed it and rethreaded it. Its still sort of tight in, but not nearly as bad.

    Yep, you just have to rethread the bottom strap.  We have it as our 2nd carseat and I really like it.  Super easy to install!

    Yep this. It's much better once you rethread it.

    I just checked it and yep there are three. I thought it was two. Anyways, ours is the furthest out one. It does seem a little tight still, so I can't imagine how tight the other two are.

    BTW, I agree these seat is a PITA. Its our back up for DHs car. Its difficult to adjust and the button that releases the straps always gets stuck down and we have to unstick it with a butter knife. Also, its short shelled and DD just outgrew it for RF. Its says 36 in, but DD was 34 1/4 a couple weeks ago and was an inch from the top already. Granted, she has a long torso. I turned her FF because I couldn't afford two (DHs and for my moms car) new seats.

    I'm pretty sure it adjusts. I think there's 3 didfferent notches. I remember in the instruction manual that it is supposed to be farther back for rear facing and farther infront for forward facing. Look at the manual and double check

    Wow, I guess I need to take a better look at the seat!

    Maybe that will help.  I still think it is a nightmare to get my LO in there though - I feel like I can't pull the straps tight enough without pulling a muscle!

    weird. we have 2 sceneras and both of them have an adjustable crotch strap. maybe they are different in the US even though the pics look the same.

    <--- I HATE the Scenera.  I have the hardest time getting it installed tight enough- I basically have to go to the fire station to have it installed everytime I have to take it out for something.  I ended up just eating the money  and getting a new seat, this is now just an extra seat in case of an emergency.

    I hate the Scenera. The straps suck on mine. They are always hard to tighten.
