Okay I believe that the Tribute is a fair choice to the Scenera (especially 35lb version) and can last as long if not longer than it. My reasoning for this is that the Scenera uses overall height limits and the Tribute doesn't so if you have a leggy child with a short torso but they are still 36" you can't RF them anymore where as they might still have a little bit left in the Tribute RF because of the one inch rule even though its an inch shorter shell. Is this wrong completely, its from a different board but I didn't want to start a huge fight and drama there. I have some experience with both these seats my 21 mo old currently uses both and at 33" tall she's going to be running out of time RF in the scenera but still has 2-3 inches of seated height left in the tribute. I'm not a tech yet, take the course next month. But I feel like I'm getting wrote off on suggesting the tribute as another option because everytime I suggest it someone shoots it down with- it will be outgrown quicker than the scenera. They are the same price too. I also think the install on the tribute is easier which could be important. TIA
