Unexpected finds at Meijer: Nautilus and pink Scenera!

DD and I were grocery shopping at Meijer this morning. (Meijer is a big MI-based chain with stores in MI, OH, IN, KY, and I'm not sure where else ... ) We went through the car seat section, as we always do because DD begs me to. I expected to see the usual collection - HBBs, a couple of cheap infant seats, an AOE, a 5-pt Scenera, a couple of combination seats, etc. Imagine my surprise when I saw not only the Daisy Daze Scenera but also the Nautlus! I think it was the Bravo cover but I'm really not sure.

Of course, I didn't have DS with me - I actually really want to try him in this seat. (He has been asking for a harnessed seat for our secondary car - and I may just grant his request. He's only got a 16" torso, so he'd have plenty of room in a Nautilus/Radian/Frontier etc.) But DD fit quite well with the harness on the lowest slots. She liked it and seemed very cozy. She is 27 lbs and about 35".

Not sure how I would feel about it for a bigger kid. I'm not wild about the huge arm rests, and I wonder how the padding will be with the headrest all the way up. I'll actually have a chance to try him in one tomorrow, so we shall see.

Anyway, I was very pleased to see some decent seats at Meijer!

I'm so gonna have to take DS with me to meijer today! Ours has the *worst* selection of seats. I think they have the tribute, OHS scenera, evenflo discovery 3 point, one other infant seat I'm not familiar with, a cosco harnessed booster and the evenflo high back booster. It's really pathetic. I'd be SO excited if they got some new seats in!

I might just drop them a little comment about how their car seat selection is lacking compared to the competition and suggest what seats they *should* stock. :whistle:

How much was it at Meijer? I will have to check out the 5 we have in our town! LOL.

It was $150. They JUST got it in this week - it wasn't there when I went grocery shopping there last Saturday.

I know that Meijer has some online shopping available now - I wonder if they have the ability to check store inventory online? Might save you a trip!

We'll have at least one tomorrow in Jackson that you're welcome to play with.

My middle son (8yo) JUST fits in it as a booster - pics here: http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=391971&postcount=8

My littlest has a 15.5" torso - this is how he fits:

He's right AT the third slots with it installed w/o recline.

Nauti isn't on the Meijer site yet. But they do have the Apex for $119.99.

And the Graco SS1 and SS2.

LOL I was just at Meijer this morning but haven't ventured into the carseat aisle there lately. I usually have to cringe and put blinders on because of the OHS Scenera I've seen there before. Good to know of another source for the 5-point Scenera and the Nauti. :thumbsup:

Jean, it WAS the Meijer near you, too. Sometimes I go to the one on Ford Rd - I'm pretty much right in between them.

LOL, we were probably there at the same time. DD and I were there from 8-9:30 (yes, we linger).

Too funny, we missed you by an hour or so there. We stopped there to pick up some things for the trip to Jackson tomorrow, lol. I'll have to visit the carseat aisle more regularly now.

I just went to my Meijer... used the excuse that i had to get snacks for tomorrow :whistle: and they have the Nautilus too!!! Also, the box is different than when they first came out. When I got mine it showed pictures of kids in the seats. I made a comment when I reviewed it at walmart.com about the kid being awefully little to be in the BPB when the harness goes to 65lbs... Maybe they took it off because of my little review! LOL. :rolleyes:

Nice to see Meijer had a good seat!

Good job!

And methinks we're going to have some well-fed kids tomorrow! :D I got DS some snacks too.
