I could not not leave a note. Graco Nautilus. No head rest.

Just left a note saying headrest was required and please check manual and they could come here for help if they needed it.

Signed it concerned mom.

It just got to me today. Today no matter where I went I say bad use, no use or ridiculous use..

I've seen a few forward facing True Fits without headrests Never a Nautilus, though.

I'm glad you left a note.

I know I am not a CPST. I can not wait to get certified.

I just felt I needed to say something.

I did not have my USAA booklets with me or I would have left one of them. Its all I have to offer..

I moved a TB headrest up in the K pickup line today. It's a neighbor that I know and the poor girl had to lean forward because her shoulders didn't fit under the headwings. I moved it up about 3 clicks, re-threaded the belt back into the belt guide, and sent them on their way.

I was over the moon to discover a mom in our moms' group had her 3.5 year old in a carseat installed tightly and top tethered! Its pretty uncommon here.

I peeked and could not figure out what I was looking at from a distance.. Then all of a sudden when I walked by into the home depot, I was like.. CRAP.. That is a Headless GN..

I'm impressed. There's no way I would have identified it.

My local Target has a headless Nauti ON DISPLAY. It's been months. Drives me bananas.

Oh my gosh..

What is with people? Read the manual! Just look at the pictures if you don't want to actually read it!!

About Target? I would take that to the manager.

Yeah, I was even going to buy her a convertible, but she traded with her friend who had an older toddler (I had convinced THAT girl to get a Tribute, somehow the dolt managing our gear section just DID NOT GET that the Nautilus is NOT for kids under one, raved about it being the best seat ever, and the fact that it was in the BOOSTER section got through to none of them ). Needless to say, there's not a lot of time for me to train my coworkers

Sorry for the hijack, Baylor. I'm glad you were brave enough to leave a note

Maybe take a picture, contact Graco, and tell them the manager told you it came that way.

Perhaps Graco will make them fix it??

I wonder how many parents have used the seat wrong because of how it was displayed? I can easily see some one like my hubby do that, he doesn't always read instructions. (almost never, I make him with the car seats.)

I'm a boss at a fast food restaurant. I hate working drive thru for this very reason. I did however say something when a headrestless nauti came through. This child was correctly buckled in with tight straps and chest clip in the correct spot. Even the TT was done. Someone obviously cared... they just missed a crutial step! Dad was very receptive.
