Graco Comfort Sport or Scenera for second seat?

[daisy1234]

Hi ..I need one extra seat for the babysitter...what is better the CS (cheaper version) or the Scenera? Thanks!!! Is the padding much different between the two seats?

Go with the Scenera if you can find it - my 15%ile DS was too tall for the ComfortSport at 24 mos.

I posted this same question a few weeks ago- I got the same answer: get the Scenera.

The Comfortsport harness slots are very short and will most likely be outgrown quickly, requiring another seat purchase in less than 2 years. Also, the adjuster is very difficult to work rear facing.

As far as padding- the Comfortsport is MUCH more plush (at least the model I looked at) ! However, I have found the Scenera to be no less padded than a lot of the other avg seats (Britax is excluded!) Since I assume your babysitter will only be using it for trips around town, I think there's plenty of padding for the short time your DS or DD will be in the vehicle.

As a side note, I had better luck installing with seatbelt than I did with LATCH.

Good luck!

I agree w/ the Scenara. Don't have one, and I didn't listen before.. have a Comfortsport for DD's truck and 2 for grandmas, and my 2 kids are just about out of them! Plan on getting a second convertible for DH's truck, and probably will be scenera.
