that I see more OHS sceneras than 5-point sceneras because at wal-mart, the OHS is a pretty blue and the 5-point is a yucky brown?

I mean, the OHS is more expensive by $20 (the 5-point at my wal-mart is $40 and the OHS is $60), so WHY do people spring for the more expensive seat?

It has to be the color choices, which ticks me off. Why can't they just both be blue?

DUH! It's more expensive, so it MUST be better!

I'm just kidding, of course, but I always figured the cheaper 5 pts were selling out faster than the spendier ohs?

Good point about the cover, I bet you're on to something there, too!

The Scenera I use has the same blue cover as the OHS Walmart seat, but it is a 5-point.

I guess we got lucky with covers!

At Wal-Mart in late March or early April.

I was thrilled to find it!

The new Target cover is cute too. It is blue too, but really cute. The sides are kind of like a faux-suede. I like it!

Hopefully they are getting rid of the brown and bringing in the blue! I'll be looking for them!

I thought that too, but I tried to put DS in the floor model once for fun and it was a pain to try and adjust the just clip with that gigantic shield in the way. But then again, most people I see around here don't bother with the chest clip anyways so...

Quite true! It is amazing how few people seem to even attempt to adjust the chest clip!

Our Wal-Mart doesn't carry the OHS Scenera and We have three patterns, daisy daze (I think), transatlantic, and plain old black and tan. All % point Harness seats.

Yep, there's a few OHS seats still available for purchase in the US. I haven't seen one in the stores in Canada for a couple years now either, but lots of people are using them - far too many with the shield removed because it got in the way. (Looking forward to being able to tell parents they removed part of the seat meant to restrain their kiddo and that the seat is trash now...lol.)

I actually have only seen the OHS in the store, never in use.

It has been quite awhile sense I noticed a NEW OHS seat.

The new boxless packaging makes me a bit leary of the Scenera. (How are they handled in bulk?) I've seen what happens to items that are shipped/trucked/transported.
