Cosco Scenera

Cosco Scenera carseat?

I am wanting to buy a light converitble carseat as I take taxis because I don’t drive. I am very sick of the infant carseat because its very heavy to carry her around in it. The cosco scenera doesn’t seem too bulky, but I was wondering if it is any good because I do know it is kind of inexpensive. Or if you know of any other convertible carseats that are not so big and bulky?
She is only 11 weeks and 12lbs, which is why I want a convertible carseat so it can be rear-facing until she is a year. Im a very small person and have a lot of trouble carrying her around in her carseat now.

I’m a certified car seat technician in WA state, and the Cosco Sceneras are the model of seat we buy in bulk to distribute to people in our community that cannot afford their own. The reason? Because they’re affordable for us to purchase and they’re a great seat. The reason they’re so inexpensive is because there isn’t any extra things with it (head inserts, padding, etc.).

But remember, if a car seat is on the market, it’s been through NHTSA’s testing (all seats have to go through the exact same tests before they can be sold).

The website I cited below isn’t the most attractive list to look at, but if you scroll down to “Dorel” (the parent company of Cosco), you’ll see that there have not been any recalls on the Scenera seat.

Overall, it’s a great seat–I use them at my job all the time without any problems. And it’s easy to install–just make sure you follow the instructions!!

Good luck!
