It just seems that I can get better fit for my ds in the Scenera than I can the EFTA. I just don't get it. I am trying to upload pictures of him sitting in the EFTA...it just doesn't look right! Does anyone else just love the Scenera!?

You're living proof that you don't need a really expensive seat. People think that they have to get a Britax because it's expensive, but people are also quite happy with the least expensive seat on the market.

I preferred the Scenera over my Triumph (older model) because she could rest her head to sleep on the side of the Scenera. The Triumph had no head support so she slept better in the Scenera. I guess for that reason, I prefer the Scenera over the Triumph, but the Triumph looks more padded and sturdy.

Hehe. This is why there's no single perfect seat to recommend to parents. I love my EFTA more than my MA, so there's a perfect example. ;)

If it fits him better and you like using it better, and both install equally well in your vehicle, there's nothing wrong with liking the Scenera better. Whatever works best for you. :thumbsup:

I hate the knobs too. :p

I actually don't mind the Scenera at all. Do I like it as much as the Boulevard? No, but I do still like it.:)

Does the Scenera have any EPS foam? Are the top slots higher on that seat than other Cosco seats?

No eps foam for the scenera. The tops slots I think are 15.5 inches? 16 at the most.

I HATE my Scenera. I LOVE my old Triumph. Isn't that funny? I can NEVER get the straps to fit DD well on the Scenera. My DH can and that's why it's in HIS car, LOL! So, it's not a bad seat, obviously, just not the one for *me*. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to adjust the harness on the nautilus okay. I'm spoiled by those darn knobs!
