Okay, as promised here is my review on a new car seat I had the opportunity to try out.
Recently I was approached by Cosco company to test out a new seat they are releasing in 2015, The Scenera NEXT Convertable car seat.
My daughter hasn’t quite grown into a booster seat yet so I went ahead and set her up in the Cosco Scenera NEXT car seat in the back seat of my car facing forward.
Right away I noticed the fasteners and clips were very easy to use and having 5 sets of harness slots allowed enough flexibilty to choose the proper harness height for optimum comfort for my daughter so she didn’t feel cramped.
Obviously, the safety of the side impact feature is great on its own but on a trip home after an active day out, my daughter was able to lean her head to the side with full support while she napped so her head didn’t hang over the side, a mommy happy feature.
The most important feature is comfort, I never heard any complaints from the back seat, regarding her comfort in the seat so I think that is a big win!
Looking further into Cosco as a company I was pleased to see they are an American company and Cosco’s first priority is family, the company is proud of what its workers do every day to help keep children safe. I like that in a company! I always want to know where my money is going and what I’m getting!
As an interesting promotion, coinciding with the roll out of the first Scenera NEXT’s, Cosco is launching a personalized letter writing campaign. Over 500 of the first Scenera NEXT’s will feature handwritten notes from a child of one of Cosco’s Columbus, Indiana, employees. Isn’t that neat!!!!!
I don’t know about you but I absolutely loved getting one of those letters! (See mine above)
Where can you buy the Cosco Scenera NEXT convertible car seat…why Walmart of course and it is under $50! The price is right! I’m sold!
Let me know here at Familyfrugalfun.com how this seat works out for you and your kids. Oh and guess what? I’m GIVING AWAY ONE OF THESE GREAT CAR SEATS along with a $25 Walmart gift card! YES!

I would like to win this car seat for our 2nd car, we have twins so we need two of everything. This would help greatly! Thanks!
cheryl says
I would love to win this car seat for my son and daughter in law for my grandson. They are a young couple just starting out, and it would really save some money when they need to convert to a front facing seat.
Rachel says
i would love to have this as a car seat for my husbands vehicle. We only have one seat for her and moving it all the time puts a lot of wear in the lach clips.
Tiffany R says
I would love to win this car seat for my son who is a year old and will need this as he gets older. I am a teacher and mother of three. My husband and I have been through quite a bit lately for his son, my step-son, who’s mom has requested more support from us and we are struggling. Winning a car seat would help us greatly!
Lisa Comfort says
I would love to win this for my new grandbaby
due in August!
Amy says
I run a home daycare and winning this car seat would be amazing. I would use it as an emergency car seat for parents to borrow or for me to use if we needed to travel some where unexpectantly.
Casey Boettcher says
My step son has out grown his car seat. We are on a very tight budget so this car seat would be an amazing gift! We all know car seats are a must but phew they are so expensive!
Jamey whipp says
Winning this car seat would be a blessing! My son has needed a new car seat for a while now and I lost my job on Friday. As a single father with no help from his mother every penny to my name is spoken for. Please please pick me! I know it’s low to pull the pitty card but when it comes to my child there’s nothing I won’t do!
Stephanie R says
I would like to win this seat for my daycare. I provide all car seats so that my parents don’t have the added cost of supplying when we need to travel. For me, it is very important that I have seats that are designed to be able to fit 3 across, and that can be used forward and rear facing that are good, dependable seats. Thanks!
Donna Galagaza says
As I am writing this I giggling…as a mom of 4
I have used several car seats and booster seats over the years. My 3yr old (who I am entering for) I have taken to the State Police more then once to find out how the heck he was getting out?! This new seat seems right up our alley, maybe it will hold in my little monkey
Amber Turner says
I would love to win this for my baby girl. It looks like it would serve all our needs coming out of an infant car seat. Cosco is a great brand and this car seat looks amazing. I am a single mom and this would really help financially.
Tonya says
I would love to win this car seat to give to a single mom who does not have a lot of money and is in need of this car seat for her child.
beth G says
I have a 5 month old that would soon put this to good use. I love that three seats will fit across the back,with our large family!
Mary Lou Fletcher says
My grand baby will be turning 1 year old next month and this would be a wonderful gift. Had I realized Cosco was all American made, everything I bought when she was born would have come from them.
Wendy Basil says
I would love to win this car seat for 3 reasons–I have a 4 1/2 year old who is still the size of a 2 year old haha, so this would fit him perfectly, I am pregnant with #2 and could use it for him in the future and best reason of all, the drawing is 2/28, that’s my birthday! What a great birthday gift that would make 🙂
Linda Elben-Adams says
You must be asking, “Why would Linda need a car seat?” Well, I don’t need it personally. I do, however, have a friend who is in need financially as well as needing a car seat. So, both the gift card and the seat would be a complete blessing for her. Thank you, Family Frugal Fun, for this opportunity to help another.
Mich P says
I would love this for my granddaughter so we can go and do things and not sit in the house . Usually my son is in a rush to work and forgets to leave her seat . This would be such a help
Denise Toth says
I would love to win this car seat for my little nephew, who before I know it will be big enough to sit forward facing in the car and his current seat will have to be saved for his sibling. I like the features and the review you gave sold me! Anytime a
Product can get a thumbs up from a mom who had used the product – it gets my attention. Thanks for the review, maggie
Kristin Doney says
This carseat seems perfect for my baby girl. I have 1 child but I have to ride around with 2 carseats in my car because she’s so tall she gets uncomfortable in one for too long. Sometimes I turn around to see she’s gotten her arms out or unbuckled the chest piece so I have to switch her to the other carseat. Having 5 harness slots for proper height adjustment would solve our problem (ours only have 3). This carseat would be such a huge help. -thank you for your review.

Kina says
I would like to win because we have a baby due in September and already have 2 who are still in car seats!
Julie Green says
I’d love a chance to win the car seat . As an in home childcare provider I have use many many different car seats. and have yet to find one that, is easy to use, install and is small but yet safe enough to have 3 across a seat in my suburban. I replace car seat every year or so depending on which current one I have are expiring if any so this would be a great addition for our daycare!
Tina McCowan says
I would love to win this for my son who is 19
And the dad of a one year old who doesn’t have a
Carseat for his car it would be greatly appreciated and save him
Some money.
Andie Kimbell says
Hi, I would love to win this car seat!! I am a new mom to a 19 month old and a 9 month old. We have been using Britax and I have been happy with them til recently. My daughter is big for her age and the straps are not adjusting to meet her comfort needs. I am reluctant to continue on with this brand and I love that this new carseat got your daughters approval and from my research the harness system seems much more “adjustable” to meet the needs of my daughter. We will transition as soon as we can and this looks like the seat we need!! Thanks for the information 🙂
Kathy Lhotsky says
I would love to win this car seat. I have two grandchildren and another on the way. All three will be in different stages of seats. It would be a great help to be able to win this seat. It would make life a little easier for grandmom.
Anna Hess says
We just had a granddaughter and it would be so great to have a car seat on hand for when she’s old enough to wanna ride with her Nana Banana and Papa Gunz.
Christy K. says
We would love to win this because we’re expecting baby #4 this summer. It’s been 10 years since our last baby so we gave everything away. We’re starting from scratch and this would be a huge blessing! Thanks for the giveaway!
Stacy says
I would like this seat because I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old we only have one set of car seats for 2 cars. It would be nice to have another seat for my husband’s truck so we don’t have to constantly switch the seats back and fourth. The car seat my 3 year old has now is a Cosco and we really like it!
Carolyn Allen says
I would love to win this seat for my granddaughter who has given me my first great grandchild. She is a single mom and I know she could not afford one at this time. It would give me comfort knowing that sweet baby is safe. It looks like a very dependable product, I hope we get to try it out.
Rachel V says
I would love to win this car seat. We have two cars and moving the car seats back and forth is such a pain.
Julie Cartwright says
I would love to win this for my nephew!!! Pick me, pick me!!!
Jenny Marr says

Hope says
I would love to win this car seat ,so that I could have one in my vehicles for when I visit my grandsons. We wouldn’t have to transfer one from moms car. That would be great!
HS says
I want to win this Cosco Scenera Next car seat for our new baby.
rebecca clough says
I don’t want the carseat for myself….but i have a recent single father friend who could use the carseat. He has a pickup and it is hard to transport his son on a daily basis without a good carseat. He has to have his child dropped off by others and this can be time consuming and frustrating to find someone willing to drop off his boy. This would make things so much easier on them both.
Jen says
I would love to win this car seat as my son needs a new car seat. The problem is he’s tall, but doesn’t weigh a lot so it’s been difficult to find a safe car seat for him. This one sounds prefect! Thanks you for all your offers and chances to win such awesome prizes!
Dennis Fletcher says
I would like to win this car seat for my grand daughter, who will be moving into a new car seat soon.
