I really wish the nautilus button wasn't so hard....

My MIL took Elizabeth and Benjamin Thursday which I admit has been nice! I had foot surgery 2 weeks ago and I can't move around much and I'm in pain.

Benjamin has the probooster and Elizabeth the nautilus, apparently my MIL hadn't used the nautilus before, just the radian and she is so frustrated with the button on the nautilus!

It hadn't occurred to me that she hadn't used it before. Brian also had to install it, which I'm trying not to worry about. I wish it had occurred to me to put a seat in her car before the surgery.

Is it one of the new push buttons? I think the slide release is the easiest buckle ever.

I agree. My in-laws and my mom cannot get the Naut buckle undone. I have the seat as a spare I'd like to use in one of their cars but they can't undo the buckle. Even I find it difficult.

A lot of preschool teachers and aides at drop off had trouble with it as well, luckily it wasn't a big deal since I could reach her and unbuckle it.

My mom had trouble with the GN buckle, too. We had the old style. What worked best for me was to press near the front of the little ledge part. Logically, you think to put your thumb all the way in to press harder.

I think the graco chest clip takes some finesse, too. I had to press the bottom tongue, then the top in order to open it. Squeezing both at once didn't work for me.

my phone thinks it's smarter than I am.
