Evenflo Tribute vs. Cosco Scenera....which is better?

I need to buy a few more convertible seats to give to in-need families at our hospital. Generally I buy the Scenera, but I'm getting so tired of the uneven harness adjustment (ie. one side of the harness tightens while the other is loose) and subseqent loosening/tightening/loosening/tightening to get it right. Does anyone know if the Evenflo Tribute has this problem as well? TIA!

I have both seats, a Tribute V, correct? The Scenera I got from Target is plusher than the Tribute, and the front adjust is smoother. On my Tribute, when I adjust the harness, it sticks and makes my seat recline too far. Every time. I'd recommend the Scenera just because of that, a person with less knowledge about seats may leave it reclined too far. Just my :twocents:.

The Tribute also has a lower RF limit (30#) and lower top slots.

BUT the newest model does have EPS lining.

ITA with Andie! :thumbsup: I just spent the afternoon playing with her Tribute and Scenera :p , and I like the Scenera much better. The Scenera generally requires pool noodles or a rolled towel for a good recline for younger babies, while the Tribute seems to recline pretty far naturally, so the Tribute could technically be an easier install, but as far as daily ease of use, the Scenera wins. The Tribute's harness adjuster is very sticky, and while the seats have overall pretty similar width measurements, the Tribute is more "boxy" and didn't mesh as well with all the seats we tried it next to.
