Cosco Scenera NEXT — Good harness fit
When the Cosco Scenera NEXT convertible car seat was released in 2015, we were eager to meet this low priced, lightweight convertible car seat. Since that first meeting, the Scenera NEXT has become a mainstay of the car seat world and a popular budget-friendly travel car seat.

Features? Features!
At first glance, the NEXT appears to be a bare-bones car seat. However, it’s got some very important features. The Cosco Scenera NEXT is:
- Lightweight, just 6.8 pounds
- Well suited for travel
Not only that, it:
- Fits tiny infants well
- Is narrow
- Is fairly compact
In addition, it’s available in many different a
When it comes to travel car seats I always say that unfortunately, there’s no ideal solution when you look at the models sold in the US. Realistically, in the US there are only two options for toddlers and preschoolers: WayB Pico and Cosco Scenera Next.
Especially if you want the car seat to be FAA-approved (which isn’t a must, but some prefer it), these are the only lightweight options that don’t require extra carts to drag through the airport. We used both WayB Pico (full review here) and Cosco Scenera on numerous trips and both car seats have pros and cons.
Which one is better? Or, is there a better solution?

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.

Cosco Scenera NEXT Review
Best Convertible Car Seat for Travel | Ridiculously Inexpensive | Reasonably Safe | Easy Install | Lightweight | Narrow
The Cosco Scenera NEXT is ridiculously inexpensive– as in literally one tenth the price of some of our other favorite car seats. From a safety perspective, it is pretty bare bones (though it meets or exceeds all federal safety standards). We love this car seat best as a travel car seat or a second car seat, because it is lightweight, narrow, easy to install, and did-we-say-CHEAP?
Things We Love
- Ridiculously Inexpensive: Less than $50. Not a typo.
- Travel Friendly: The Cosco Scenera NEXT is the best car seat for traveling. It is lightweight, inexpensive, and even compatible with the Mountain Buggy Nano stroller using this clever hack.
- Easy Install: The Scenera NEXT is very easy to install with a seat belt or LATCH, but does require a bit of muscle for the belt install. Just as you would with about any other belt install, you'll have to push down on the seat while pulling on the belt to get a secure fit.
- Supports Three Across: At only 17 inches wide, the NEXT allows you to install three car seats in your car’
