Help me toss my Nautilus!

It expires at the end of the year. I didn't think to check the expiration before hand. I got the new buckle ask I took the seat apart and cleaned it and washed the cover. The chest clip got in there and broke. So tell me to just get rid of it. Matthew is riding in a booster seat now and we really don't need it, so why store it until December, right? Why is so hard to let perfectly good seats go when they're expired!

All of it expires in December? Or just the harnessed portion? I can't recall if they always had different dates for the two uses.

Because I'd probably keep it for a spare booster at least, even if the booster part expires in December.

I think the harness and HBB are the same date. The bottom is longer. Oh, how I wish the whole booster lasted longer. DS's expires in December too.

And you're not supposed to say that! My car seat shelf is filling back up after I had it almost empty! And I have 3 booster seats out there, a Monterey and 2 no backs - a Harmony and something else.

But now you got me thinking. Maybe I should wait. Matthew could flunk booster riding.:) As far as I know he's doing okay though.

Okay, well if you have plenty of back up boosters, then I wouldn't worry about it. I tend not to have spare seats, so I wouldn't toss it, but sounds like your well backed up. :ROTFLMAO:

I had one of those Nautiluses too that would have expired in Dec this year until it was in an accident.

Yes, just toss it - but do you know someone who could get use out of the lbb feature for the next 3 1/2 years? If so, I'd probably give it to them.

Don't toss it. Save the base order a new back and you can use the seat for another 3 years, or gift it to someone. 3 yrs is 3 yrs.

Can't you just use the one you have? It's not like it's expired yet! Let me know how much the new back costs. I suppose a person could also get a new harness. Actually, I already have a new harness - 2 of them. Graco sent me replacements for some reason I don't recall now. I might have bought them and didn't use them since the harness fabric is cheaper feeling than the original. I think that's what it was. If you want one, let me know.

Never mind. It was $10 bucks, and then I realized you would also need the head support which was $12. Maybe a spare cover for someone?

It was just in the car. I had to bring it inside last night anyway though to fit another kid in the back so I have it now.

Oh, right. Mine's on the kitchen table so it didn't occur to me. I would have gladly shared it's numbers! Actually I usually have the card in my car seat drawer with the pertinent info on it too just so I don't have to uninstall when info is needed. I'm a bit nerdy!
