I tried searching and didn't really find a definite answer.

DD2 has some time left in the harness, but when the time comes, can the Nautilus be LATCH'd in booster mode? Just top tethered? Or none?

Thanks! :D

It can be LATCH'd and top tethered in booster mode. The older manuals are not updated to say that, but the newer ones are and I believe the online one is too. I don't have the link on hand, but I'm sure someone will come along with it shortly.

The online manuals are dated 12/07 and don't say anything about using LATCH in booster mode.

Another member, Lara, posted photos of a Nauti manual page from a Nauti with an Aug. '08 DOM indicating LATCH is allowed in booster mode in this previous thread:

Whoa whoa, so when DD needs to use it as a booster, we can keep it latched in like the Cleks? That is awesome! I didn't know that!

yes, and LATCH weight limits don't apply in booster mode because it's only holding the weight of the seat, not the child. :)

That is sooooo good to know! We were gonna get her an Oobr eventually because her TB is tippy in our car. Glad to know we can keep the GN anchored! :thumbsup:

You're right...it was the post/picture Jeanum linked to, that I was thinking of.

Thanks for the updated info on the use of LATCH with the Nautilus in booster mode. I have 2 Nautiluses? Nautili??...one DOM 8/08 and one DOM 9/08 and neither one of the manuals have this updated info...which is strange since one of the reasons I bought this seat is that I had read here that it could be secured using LATCH during booster mode.
