Re: Graco Nautilus
HI everyone,
I just wanted to comment because I have finally finished my research, and happily purchased 2 Graco Nautilus' for my 3.5 and 4.5 yr olds. I just have to say I have always
been happy with Graco baby/children's products. We have a ComfortSport convertible seat and a CarGo combi-booster. We'll probably use 2 CarGo's as our spare carseats for grandma, dad, etc. But I wanted seats with harnesses for my growing children, so... This time around I almost waited for the Britax Frontier, but other than the fact that it's (partially) made in the USA I couldnt find anything that made it better than the Nautilus. The only point of confusion I had with the Nautilus was whether or not you can use the LATCH and top tethers while in booster mode. SO I contacted Graco, and it IS TRUE< you CAN use the LATCH and TETHERS in either mode, harness or Booster, up to whatever weight your LATCH system in your specific car allows (many are 48lbs), and you can still use the upper tether even when the child is heavier than that weight and using specifically the seatbelt. I received this info directly from Graco, while many of the posts I read on lots of websites seemed to have confused ideas about this. So I feel I made a fantastic purchase, and am confident that my little riders will be safe in these seats, harnessed until 65lbs, and in a secure booster thereafter. I highly recommend this seat to anyone interested. It is of great quality, fabric is nice, and the steel reinforcements, EPS foam, &head support make it feel like a safe seat! My kids love them too Thank you also to all the other people who posted about this seat and helped to educate me for my decision!
