Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat
Once your child outgrows her rear-facing infant car seat, she’s still required ride in a car seat or a booster for several more years to come. So rather than investing in a succession of seats and boosters, try the Graco Nautilus 3-in 1 Toddler Car Seat, the only forward-facing car seat your child will need. Its five-point harness accommodates children up to 65 pounds, and its convertible booster/backless booster can hold children up to 100 pounds in weight–longer than most other convertible car seats. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: 20px; } table.callout { font-family: Verdana, Helv…

car seat - not good for long drives
we were tempted by the idea that this car seat comes apart to work as a booster later, so as not to have to buy a second seat in later stages. The amazon.

So I did a LOT of reseach before buying this, read multiple message boards, then to the store to look at them, etc. This replaced a britax that was passed down to DD #2 for my rather large 4 yo girl(40lbs, 40inches)I want to keep her harnessed for as long as I can. I finally decided to go for it b/c of
1)price (though it really wasn’t an object) but I am a big fan of bang for your buck,
2)sturdiness, i was never a fan of graco until i bought this seat. It’s got a nice weight, sturdy frame.
3)comfort, memory foam! DD loves it, she sleeps very comfortably in it without slumping over like she used to.
4)size, not gigantic like the regent but large it enough to have a big kid sit in it
I was concerned about its looks but it’s much better looking in person.
Finally, who can beat amazon’s price!
I highly recommend it, I think it will last my DD until she’s prob 7-8 yo (My average sized 8yo nephew fits!)

Best Car Seat I’ve Purchased So Far!
Up until now, I’ve had Evenflo car seats for my toddler because of their Consumer Reports rating, however, my husband and I were never really thrilled with their ease of use…

My Wife, a Pediatrician, did a ton of research - with the first priority being safety, safety, and, I’ll say it again, safety.
We were Britax users for our first car seats and found it a fine car seat, though pricey.
So, this time around, with our son growing too long for the Britax seats that we had, we decided to look at all the options.
Price was not part of the equation.
Design was not either.
Safety was it.
We highly recommend this Graco car seat (We have three now)
1) The price blows Britax away.
2) The design is very nice. Our son loves the drink holder as well as the toy “compartment” in the arm rests. He “hides” toys in the arm rests and has a lot of fun fooling us.
The installation was simple.
The headrest is extremely easy to use and to “fit”.
The five point harness is critical to our son’s safety and it is very easy to use. Though, it is slightly different than Britax, so there is a few days of getting used to a “new” system. After that, there is no problem.
Overall, we are very happy with Graco.

Not so good to buy
not so good to buy because the recline system is not good enough to proper recline. and also child belt is no enough long. i will not suggest any one to buy this product.

LOVE the 65lb, 5 pt harness
This seat replaced a high back booster for my 47lb 4yo DD. Even though this is within FHS guidelines, she was too fidgety to wear the lap belt properly.

I found this car seat while searching for something reasonably priced that would harness past 40 pounds. I bought a different seat first, but while it claimed to harness to 50# and 47″, my 37 pound 2 year old was already too tall for it. I returned it and purchased the Nautilus. We are using the harness straps in the second hole down, so he still has a good deal of room to grow in this seat. The straps are extremely easy to adjust and installation was no problem. I use the vehicle seatbelts rather than LATCH. The arm rests are very sturdy. The cup holder is in a good location. I plan to keep him harnessed in this seat for hopefully 2 more years, or until he becomes too tall, and then continue to use this seat as a belt positioning booster. The headrest is very easy to adjust and is able to raise quite high. This seat can accomodate a 20# child, but it’s much better to use a convertible seat and keep the child rear facing to 35#.

The last car seat
We needed to replace the carseat for our six year old grandson. He is slight of build so was able to use the original Britax up until now, but it was time to give him a grown up…

The last seat we will buy!
Once my daughter out grew her convertible seat, I started researching for the next seat. She is tall and therefore heavy for her age (98% on both) so I knew she would outgrow…

Awesome Car Seat
I looked of a really long time for the right car seat for my son. He didn’t love being in the car, and I really wanted to make it as good as possible for him.

Graco Nautilus - Good Value
Seat was needed due to our 3 year old’s imminent growth over the 40 lb limit of our Evenflo Triumph. The new version of the Triumph is rated up to 50 lbs.

Straightforward and convenient
The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 as a cinch to recommend as it saves you the trouble and expense of having to buy one or two more products in addition to a car seat.

Great Carseat
I love this carseat. We got this carseat because my youngest just moved to the convertable carseat and my oldest (who is 3 1/2) weighted enough to move to the booster seat with a…
