Nautilus in an 03 Trailblazer **ETA Pics in center for Mish**
I thought I would post a few pics of the Nautilus installed in my 2003 Trailblazer. It was a breeze to install and get rock solid the first time. No playing around or adjusting anything. Super super easy.
Things I like:
Things I don't necessarily HATE, but wish were better:
All in all, I really really like this seat. My son seems to be very comfy in it as well. Well done Graco!
A few pics:
One of that devilish adjuster:
Installed with seat-belt in center:
Its a VERY tight squeeze.
Its kind of hard to tell in the pic, but notice you don't see the seatbelt. Its situated on the seat so that its just behind the CR when its installed. Not sure if that is ok or not.

Things I like:
- The manual was easy to follow and understand.
- The seat was easy to assemble.
- I LOOOOVE the cupholder and cubbies. Coming from a Scenera full time, these are luxury to me. It makes it sooo much easier. My son was a "tosser". He would take a sip from his drink and toss it on the floor. Then he would scream for it when he wanted it back. Now that he has the cupholder, after a few times of reminding him to use it, he isn't screaming every 5 minutes.
- I love the belly pad and strap covers.
- The harness adjuster is wonderful. So smooth.
Things I don't necessarily HATE, but wish were better:
- I wish the crotch strap had one more position. I can see a lot of kids outgrowing this seat because of that one feature.
- It's a bit narrow. A child with very broad shoulders might feel cramped.
- The LATCH strap adjuster is a PAIN. I don't know if its just mine, or all of them, but it is hard to get it to loosen to uninstall the seat. I nearly broke my finger trying to get that thing loosened.
All in all, I really really like this seat. My son seems to be very comfy in it as well. Well done Graco!
