Review 1 for Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat, Garnet

Happy Twins= Happy Mommy

I had done in-store test runs with about a dozen seats. The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 was the only one that felt had the features I was looking for and actually 'fit' my 2 year old twins' smaller than average stature. It was the only seat my they didn't fuss in when we 'tested' them in the store, they actually WANTED to sit in it which had not been the case for most of the other seats and especially their rear-facing seats. The cup holder and cubbies were nice feature for their toys. 5 point harness system is great! Adjustments to tighten and loosen are a sinch and the design/location/access of the release valve is GENIOUS! The lumbar/hip cushion support and shoulder belt/neck pads are great at keeping my tikes comfortable on long rides (2 hours). Head support is good. The 'recline' feature however is okay. I cant say the 'recline" feature made a drastic difference in keeping the childrens heads from falling forward while they napped on long car rides. It was 50/50 from what I observed in my own vehicles (SUV & hybrid compact)- one toddler chose to rest their forhead against the side impact cushion, I inserted a stuffed animal under the other toddlers chin to help direct it to the side impact cushion and keep the head from falling forward. One handed adjustable headrest is nice. Overall cushioning is acceptable. The assembily and installation of the seats were very simple. Though I would have liked keeping them backwards facing a bit longer, the safety standards of the seat are reasuring. The twins are very happy with their seats... so is this mom.

I needed another carseat for my youngest son for my husbands truck, these fit great and are very affordable. I have two Britax for my first son and they are much heavier, sturdier and solid; but the price is also $200 more. These Graco ones are rated well, affordable and attractive in color. I am happy with my purchase, I bought them mail order in the double pack. =)
**there was a review about the crotch strap being very short and it is. I do feel like I'm having to dig around under his crotch to find it in comparision to my other seats, but its a minor problem.

This care seat looks great and is huge for my tiny toddler. He loves sitting on it. Since it's just been a few days after purchase, I am yet to find out the pros and cons of this car seat. But Walmart price was the best price. I bought the combo seats product, which was additional savings!!

Quality of seat is very good, but as others have noted, the crouch belt is tight. The seat came with a cover that we suspect is meant to help, but there was no instruction of how to use.

We first got the Graco Nautilus (different style) for our daughter at one year when she grew out of the infant seat. She is over 4 now and 40 pounds and still fit in the carseat. We loved it so much we got one for my husband's car and for my Mother's car. When my son turned one we bought this Graco Nautilus. Again for my van, my husband's car and my mom's car. This carseats, once installed don't even move. They are in there so tight and snug that's it's like an actual part of the car seat. We bought so many because I don't feel like playing musical carseats and they are actually a carseat that grows with your child and so worth the money. My children CANNOT undo the carseat harness. I'm glad too because I have been told by friends how their children will undo the harness while their driving. One has a Britax and one has a Cosco. I have no trouble getting the kids in and out myself. And those little hidden compartments in the seats are pretty cool. My daughter keeps her sunglasses in there and other stuff she likes to do while in the car.

After surviving a head on collision with my daughter in the car, I reviewed many, many car seats. This is a fantastic product with solid, heavy construction. Many options for children of various heights and weight. After the brief assembly, it was immediately obvious that this is a superior product among other car seats. I would recommend to all of my friends and I'm looking in to purchasing 2 more for the grandparents to use in their cars.

Great carseat for your toddler

I ordered two of these to replace previous car seats after a crash that totaled my vehicle. These were easy to install with both seat belt and latch (most latch lower anchors are only designed to hold up to a 40# child so I installed 4 year old's seat with the belt and 2 year old's with latch). I needed a higher weight limit seat with harness straps as my little ones still fall asleep in the car and they would be out of position without the harness straps. Good seat for a fair price that will last for years and grow with your child.
The crotch buckle is a bit stiff to release but I believe it's intentional so your older toddlers don't unbuckle themselves while traveling.

Great car seat! This seat was very easy to assemble, it's sturdy and looks good. This multi-use seat is very popular so make sure to price shop, I found it at least $20 more for the same seat at other stores. Great value you want have to buy another seat or booster because it's all there

This product is great. My son loves his new chair. At first I was skeptical about this chair because I didn't know if it would be uncomfortable or make my son's neck hurt if he fell asleep but it seats him upright and the slight recline feature helps a lot. Glad we bought this.

We bought this seat after an accident, my then 3 year old was in a car seat for her weight and it didn't have a height limit. The straps were under her shoulders causing the buckle from the harness to hit her in the throat! This seat the straps can go up so far I don't foresee that being a problem, plus I never have to buy another seat. So naturally when my youngest turned 1 we purchased a second one. Even though they are heavy to lift they don't take up much room, and they seem to be comfortable. They recline back so the kids can sleep in them easy, and they both love the side pockets for their belongings. It is worth the money not only is it a good quality brand, but you wont have to buy anymore car seats.

One of the better products in the market. The only reason I'm not providing a 5 star rating is because the front straps and the one near the crotch seem really tight and short. I've extended them to the max limit and it ain't enough. Nothing wrong with the product. I guess my kid is just a little too tall for this one. When i told my kid, I'm returning it, he threw a fit coz he liked it. I just need to get one that doesn't have the buckles in the middle and near the crotch. Preferably a Graco :)

I like this car seat but I have a difficult time unhooking the harness to get my son out. The top part is easy to open but the bottom can be quite challenging. I almost returned it but called Customer Service and the lady told me to make sure I point it toward my child to open as pulling on it (away from child) actually locks it. I tried it before I had my son in it and it did make a huge difference. It was quite easy to open. However, when he's in it I still have difficulty opening it but I can. I'll try cutting my thumbnail and see if that makes a difference. We love the storage for toys and the cup holder and it's very nice-looking and sturdy.

Best price I've seen for this model anywhere. We have had one of these for a while and it was so great we decided to invest in a second for our other car. It's a nice comfortable fit and provides both the seatbelt option and the 5-point harness option. It adjusts very easily with seatbelt-only usage. With the 5-point system, it requires a bit more time to rethread the belts. The only annoyance is adjusting the bottom buckle. It's an odd place to have to reach and more difficult to adjust. Otherwise it's great. We use the LATCH system to install in the cars. My son stores his toys in the compartments below the armrests and also has his own cupholder for drinks.
