pics of toddlers in the scenera?

java · Oct 25, 2011

I would love to see pics of toddlers in sceneras! I am considering getting one as a second seat for DD but I don't want to get it and have her out grow it right away. So I would love to see other toddlers in the seat and how much they still have to grow in it. Or if you don't have pics, how old is your child in a scenera? Are they average size, big, or small? Or how old was your child when they outgrew it?

There are at least 2 Scenera pics in the new rear facing gallery, IIRC http://www.photoshop.com/users/CarSeatsAreCool/albums/2a9fce7bbf5040bab2f8925bc7b7a2e4

My child still fits FF in a Scenera 40RF. He's 4.5yo, 35lbs, 41". I'd say he has .5-.75" of space left between his shoulders and the top harness slot. His head is just at the top of the shell. I expect he'll outgrow it height-wise in the next growth spurt, which should happen any day now. It's our backup seat until then.

I know that he still fit RF in it as of March, but I have a heck of a time getting a solid RF install in the thing, so I was fine FF him in it after he hit 3.5y. I'm pretty sure he's now outgrown RF in it.

All of my online pics of the seat are from airplane installs, so they're taken at rather odd angles.

I can't find a picture... but my 30 pound 39" 3 year old still easily fits RF in ours. He also has a tiny torso though - he fits RF in my Coccoro too. My best friend's 2 1/2 year old is more average sized in terms of torso height, she's about 37" tall and she has probably 3 inches above her head RF in it too.

DD 3.4 y/o

I had our scenera in the house so I did my best to simulate the recline if it where in the car. Lol
My 3.5 yo dd:

ETA: she's 24 lbs 37 inches .. so smaller than average. Plenty of room to grow rfing but ffing is using the top slot. My 5.5 yo ds outgrew it ffing and rfing around 4.5 yo I believe (by height..he's super short).

Here's my dd at almost 4 with *about* an inch over her head had she still been rearfacing... https://picasaweb.google.com/104971860341203318894/LeahInCarseats#5409978091566001538
I prefer the Tribute for ease of install, and though it measures a tad shorter than the Scenera, she still barely fit FF in it at 5 (maybe a tad too tall, but she's also very tall for her age)... https://picasaweb.google.com/104971860341203318894/LeahInCarseats#5576283192696917378

I looked at your pics!

your album! Your DD is so cute in all those seats. It looks like she REALLY likes the Booster Air--I really think I might want to get one for DD1--I saw one on sale at Kmart for $53 online.

What is the last booster in your album--black and red?

I also like your DD in the Vivo! It's a great pictorial of carseats and how they fit kids at various ages/sizes. Thanks for sharing!

I'd also love to get my hands on the euro booster w/ the shield up to 40#--that looked so comfy

Thanks! Poor kid, she'll think I never let her out of seats

That black and red one is the Compass B570... we like it, but it's too hard for her to buckle yet.

Thanks you guys! 2.5 looks like the minimum so far, which is great! My goal is 3, 2.5 at the absolute minimum and that would not be in the main vehicle. But my DD seems pretty small for her age so far, so if she stays that way, then I don't think we will have any issues making it to 3. I wish I could know how big she will be by then....she is almost 17 mths and about 17.5lbs and 26 inches tall. She can just fit in a snugride 22 still...but she is right at 1 inch of shell so that wouldn't last long.

Maybe I'll take a picture tonight (if I think about it). My 15mo old rides in one in grandmas truck. She's getting close to needing the 3rd slot for RFing. She's got a long torso.

java · Oct 26, 2011

I tried dd in one at walmart this afternoon. She is level with the second slots and has probably a good 7-9 inches above her head! She has tons of space in it.

Can the crotch strap be moved out while rfing? At the store it was in the farthest back (smallest) position which was kinda under her a little.

Since it is a dorel seat it has to be reclined to 45 degrees no matter the age of the child right? Do you all follow that? I wish I knew why they say that.

skylinphoto · Oct 26, 2011

I don't follow their dumb 45 degree rule....

Here is my son in the Scenera RF at around age 17-18 months old.

Sorry the picture is at a bit of an odd angle. It's hard to get a good side shot of a child RF in a 2 door.

He still had a good 5-6 inches of growing room left at this age if not a little more.

NannyMom · Oct 26, 2011

Here's one. Sofi was 2yrs. (and this also happens to be in a AAA brochure

)
