What measurement do you get for the top harness slot on the Graco Nautilus carseat? Some people are getting low measurements while others are getting high measurements. If you have this carseat, can you please measure it for me? Feel free to post your model and manufacturer date as well as if this is the regular Nautilus or the Nautilus Elite. Maybe they made a change to specific seats which affected the harness height.

The measurement should be with the cover on, though compressed down with your hand. The toddler insert cushion should be removed as it isn't used when the top slot would be used. Make sure to measure the slot on the shell, not the cover, as sometimes the cover can shift. Remember that sometimes that top harness slot hides under the headrest, so it isn't always easy to see right away.

18.5 inches, DOM in 2008, can't remember the month (didn't want to uninstall it). The top harness slot in the shell is actually above (by about .5 inch) where the slot in the cover is. I measured based on the slot in the shell, not the cover.

Ooops, voted other before I realized I could see the results without voting. :eek:
So that's my 'other' up there, last I took a tape measure to it I got at least 18, but it's been a long time, so I won't vote.

I don't have all of the info (seat's at work) but I got 18ish. Mine's a Gabe Elite, DOM 12/09 -- the rump padding is a little thicker so that would make sense if it's coming in a bit shy of the 18.25-18.5 others are getting.

I also had the same issue with the cover slot being below the shell slot, and I used the shell slot.

So from looking at the results, it ranges from 18-18.5. I will just change the measurement on the spreadsheet to read "18-18.5 (depending on model)" since it appears that there are differences between some models. Maybe some covers are thicker than others which is causing the difference.

I also got 18 inches. It's either late 2008 or early 2009. It is the all gray one from Target.
