What's the difference, besides the price ;)

And....what's your pick for a girly cover? DD has one with the matrix in dh's car (b/c it was the only one way back when!) but I'd like something prettier for my car. Are the pink prints harder to keep clean?

The elite has built-in lock-offs and an adjustable (width-wise) headrest.



The only girly cover that I think is even remotely attractive is the Mariposa cover. I guess Dori is okay, too. I do not like Daisy, Miley, or Rachel at all.
I would just go with one of the more gender-neutral covers. None of the covers are favorites of mine, but I think Monti, Wilkes, and Gabe are the "best-looking" covers. I have Galaxy and it is okay.

I bought a GN Elite today and there's no difference in the seat foam between that and our regular Nauti. Doesn't mention Gracopedic foam on the desc. of the Elite at gracobaby.com either :confused:

no kidding? that was one of the three original big 'DIFFERENCES!' being touted when they first released the seat. Weird with a beard.

When I was deciding and called Graco, I was told there was some quilted padding (gracopedic foam?) in the seat cover of the elite and that was the only additional padding. So it seems like it may be there, but not be that noticeable?

I was told the only differences were (1) lockoffs, (2) adjustable width of the headwings, and (3) the quilted padding in the seat cover.

We got the daisy and DD loves it. It is colorful and fun. We have not had it long enough to know if it'll stay clean.

Also, when we ordered it last month walmart (not my favorite store, but the only place it is available) was offering 97 cent shipping and it arrived in about two days. Not sure if that offer is still going. Otherwise, you can ship it to the store for free, but that will probably take longer.

You can see the 'gracopedic' patch on the lower left corner of the seat here. Not on yours?

Didn't see it on our seat. I bought the Gabe pattern at BRU. The seat pad does have some quilting, but it's not squishy Gracopedic foam in there, that's for sure. The overall quality of the cover fabric does seem higher quality than the regular Nautis that we've had, it's super plush. But I can see myself buying a less plush cover this summer when it's 105 degrees out.
