Nautilus Elite vs. Argos Elite?

anneke · Jan 3, 2012

I have pretty much decided on getting one of these seats- either the Nautilus Elite or Argos Elite because of the seat belt lock offs and other features. My daughter is almost 4, 39.5" tall and 35 lbs.

It's silly, but the decision is mostly coming down to color and availability. Are the Nautilus' seats going to be discontinued soon with the entry of the Argos'?

Does anyone know if there are more colors set to be released in the Argos Elite model?

I think the Argos in Igloo is sort of ugly, but I can get it for the same price as a Nautilus in Gabe (which is slightly less ugly) and my daughter likes the color.

Oh decisions.

I dont believe they're going to discontinue the nautilus. The only thing that appeals to me is the no rethread harness on the argos.

I read that they aren't discontinuing the Nautilus, but supposedly they are discontinuing the Nautilus Elite.

The main benefit of the Argos is the no-rethread harness. Do you have other children at home or that you transport often? The no-rethread option is best for different children using the same seat, like if brother and sister like to be able to switch spots. Otherwise it's not that big of a deal. Several months go (a year?) by before I have to move the straps up to the next slot, so it's really not that much of an inconvenience to me not to have a no-rethread harness if only the one kid will be using it. Of course it's nice to just have it in general, but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on it. So, if no other kids are in the picture, I vote get a nautilus in the color you like.
