The Nautilus Elite had built in lockoffs and the head wings can "expand" (wider, narrower). And yes, IIRC, they can both use full LATCH (lower and top tethers) or just lower anchors in booster mode.

Yep, that.

The Elites also have different covers, and IIRC, some extra padding or just some thicker covers.

The harness mode and highback booster mode has a life span of six (6) years, the backless portion has a nine (9) year life span.

So the Nautilus can be LATCH'd in booster mode? I must have completely missed that in the manual or it could be I just didn't read the booster portion yet . I am thrilled to hear this!

It is not in the manuals.. It is something that was clarified when someone here pushed them on an answer. To confirm I emailed them and was given the same answer.

The Elite has better infant padding than the others, of course that doesn't matter once you are past the bottom slots...

It's still a BRU exclusive I think and only comes in that brown Gabe color. The butterfly-like headwings don't support the head of sleeping kiddos any better, but the lockoff is nice for getting a solid seatbelt install (not that the regular model ever seems to be a bad install, so I dunno if it makes much difference).
