Hi everyone!
I went to bed early last night and woke to find an amazing response to the nautilus.
I have to get my son to school so I only have a minute, but I will answer as many questions as possible.
I don't know what patterns will be available. I hope graco will realize the need for fun patterns!
The straps are not as thick as the radian and similiar to the regent. My son likes to buckle himself in and hasn't had a problem with the straps being twisty. They may have gotten twisted once or twice, but no more than the regent. We don't ride in the radian nearly as much so it is hard to really compare.
The height of the booster appears to be 19 1/2 to 19 3/4 inches. We have a turbo booster we use for transporting our neighbor and I assumed it would be the same height, but when I measured the turbo booster it was 19 inches. I measured them both several times and kept coming up with those numbers.
I haven't taken the cover off, but like I mentioned before there are instructions in the manual.
I haven't used the latch because my son is 42lbs, but will play with it later today and let you know.
I don't know about latch with the booster. It doesn't say anything in the manual, but will ask graco! I am not in booster mode yet....wouldn't that be nice to latch the booster!!!
I hope I answered all the questions. Have a great morning and I will check in again later today. Tasha
