A Tale of Two Travel Car Seats: Reviewing the $450 Nuna Rava and the $45 Cosco Scenera Next | travelhappier with a tot
Review: Travel with the Cosco Scenera Travel Car Seat
After researching our options, I sent my husband off to buy the Cosco Scenera—a really cheap “travel car seat” that passes all national car seat safety standards and is FAA certified (i.e., it rides and flies), but which looks neither comfortable nor chic. Like seriously. It has ZERO padding, and I felt bad when the buckles of the seatbelts on the plane were visible through the cheap fabric of the seat. But ultimately Jules did not even notice the seatbelt clasp and was an angel on all of the flights.
Rear-Facing: 5 to 40 lbs | 40 in or less
Forward-Facing: 22 to 40 lbs | 43 in or less
Size: h 23.5 x w 22 x l 17 in / Weight: less than 8 pounds
3-point (rethread) harness; certified for use on aircraft; LATCH or belt installation; made in America
The Cosco Scenera is lightweight (less than 10 pounds), portable (it fit perfectly onto/into our tri-fold Zoe umbrella stroller), and super narrow (it fit even into bulkhead seats, which are smaller due to the traytable-in-the-armrest situation). That i
It’s lightweight, affordable, and easy to tote on trips. The Cosco Scenera Next is one of the most popular travel wagon seats out there, but is it safe and worth using?
Now that my son has aged out of his infant automobile seat, this is the one we travel with after reading numerous reviews stating that this is THE travel car seat.
Do I love it? Yes and no. Here’s what to know before you buy it:

Tested: The Best Convertible Car Seats, as Chosen by Experts
BEST OVERALL CONVERTIBLE CAR SEAT
Graco SlimFit3 LX 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat
The updated design of GHI's expert-favorite car seat is even narrower than the original Graco SlimFit. An easy-to-install option at a comparatively modest price point, the SlimFit3 LX 3-in-1 is meant to take your child from birth all the way through big-kid status with convenient features such as a 10-position headrest, four-position recline, and no-rethread harness. Not only can you maximize the back-seat space with this ultra-slim (just 16.7 inches) all-in-one pick, but it does keep up with your little one from infancy to childhood.
Unlike other convertible car seats, this all-in-one model transforms from infant car seat all the way up to a booster, giving it a total weight range from five to 100 pounds. The GHI experts loved how easy it is to install, and parent testers lauded the no-rethread harness system that makes adjustments a cinch. Plus, rotating cupholders make this already-slim design even more compact, helping to save space in tight back seats. No need to worry about squeezing three kiddos in most back seats s
The Cosco Scenera NEXT is a lightweight, budget-friendly convertible car seat that’s got a lot to offer. The Scenera name has a long history in the Child Passenger Safety world. The Scenera has had a few rebrandings over the years. The Scenera 40RF was short-lived but dearly loved by advocates until it was replaced by the Cosco Apt 40. Cosco’s sister brand, Safety 1st, markets the Onside Air, which sits on a Scenera shell with a fancier cover and side impact ‘air bags’, but the seat available at box stores today is pretty much the same seat it was 9 years ago.
At 2014 Kidz in Motion Conference, Cosco surprised us all with the announcement that the Scenera was getting quite the makeover. I was lucky enough to get one of my own preceding the official commercial release, and without further ado, here is the new Cosco Scenera NEXT, which is available for around $46 retail.
