Graco Argos on Target.com - not for sale yet

bree · Jul 13, 2011

The Argos is on Target.com. The cover is called Axel, and it's a grey-on-grey-on-black (shocking, huh?

). It says it's out of stock, and there's no price listed yet, but it's there.

Um its not as pretty as the ones they had on the webinar it looks just like the nautilus...and if the slots are the same height why bother? I like the plush looking fabrics

Now they need a lime green and darker purple cover!

Interesting name. One of the hellhounds of the underworld?

Well the main difference is the no-rethread harness. A lot of people are willing to pay a premium for that feature, especially when it can be changed on the fly so to speak without uninstalling the seat.

yeah I understand that but I guess i'm not lol

I was thinking like the boat. Kinda goes with Nautilus. (Though it should really be Argo, in that case. Argos was the guy who built the ship.)

This is why I want one.
We have a spare FPSVD in dh's truck but it expires in the spring.
I want a seat in the truck that any of the 3 kids could use, so the no re-thread harness would mean that we could make the harness fit Josh better after it had been set for the girls, without uninstalling the seat.

The lockoff of the elite would also be great, as I have to use a locking clip in the truck (it's a 1995, no locking mechanism at all).
Being able to use the lockoff would be huge for us, as dh could take the seat out anytime he needed and it wouldn't be a hassle to have to put it back in, and he'd even be able to re-install it himself too.

That cover looks like it will have a snag fest :thumbsdown: Mesh and that silky material all rolled into one cover

If compass ever releases their Unite, it would be a contender. I thought about the argos to use as a harness for little kids and booster for the older ones, but the nautilus doesn't fit on the highest position in the car, so it's no use for the oldest kids. I'm sure the argos wouldn't fit either. I'm hoping the unite will work for us.

Um, anyone else worried at the description?? "let your BABY ride in style??" and then something else about it being an all-in-one?

This doesn't RF does it??

That makes slightly more sense. Argos was also Odysseus' dog I believe.

Then hopefully this seat will work especially well in an Odyssey.

AnnaC · Jul 13, 2011

So it's basically the same as the Nautilus, but with a no-rethread harness?

Kac · Jul 13, 2011

I like that cover. And no rethread harness!

Does this mean Target's new green and gray Nautiluses will be on sale when the Argos comes out?!

violets_mommy · Jul 13, 2011

Interesting... I want the bright colors though!!

Irishmama · Jul 13, 2011

If it's the same shell as the Nautilus, I wonder if the covers for the Argos can be used on the Nautilus? I wonder if that insert is only for "infants" or if bigger kids can use it too?

I am not sure if it would work due to the no rethread harness on the Argos.

I just hope the pricepoint is still signifcantly below the frontier 85's... cause otherwise... I don't know that it will be worth it unless it can change height super easy without being uninstalled.
