Nautilus Elite?

Holly · Oct 17, 2008

In a recent thread about the Nautilus fabrics, someone linked to this pic: http://www.car-seat.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=3009&d=1224122530

It's supposed to be the "Nautiuls Elite" and out soon?

What more do we know about this seat?
Any other differences besides the cover? Gracopedic foam maybe?

Here is the thread I found that in http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=61014 2mykids linked to the pic, but said it's someone else's pic. Did I miss the other thread where it was first talked about?

If I can fit a Nautilus in my car with 3 across, I want that one when my new baby moves to the FPSVD.

It's hidden in the SS1 thread - towards the end.

That's a Nauti with gracopedic foam! You can see the GP patch on the bottom right corner of the seat. Very comfy I bet. Maybe I'll have to upgrade my son's

It now looks like a 3 in 1.

MoreLatte · Oct 17, 2008

Its about time they have a more plush option! The one thing that has kept me from buying a nauti is the limited cover options.

That thing looks all sorts of cozy. Is it going to be a 3 in 1?

I think it's going to be the same as the GN available now, just a different cover/trim option. It's not a 3 in 1 as we generally think of them (rf, ff, booster), but Graco calls it a 3 in 1 because you can use it in 3 modes (harnessed, hbb and backless).

DH will not be happy if I feel the need to upgrade, lol.

aja · Oct 17, 2008

oh nice! i wonder if we would be able to buy the cover. our cover is absolute crap.

Heather98012 · Oct 17, 2008

Any idea how much more the elite will cost?

Bummer. I wish Graco would make a RF Nautilus. The Comfort Sport just doesnt do it for me.

How does the gracopedic foam hold up over long-term use? and is it breathable or is it like Memory Foam and will it make the child feel hotter? My son's a little furnace, so we've always chosen woven fabrics for his seats instead of the microplush. The Nautilus Elite looks divine but I'm worried that the microplush fabric will make him hot, and it the foam underneath adds to that, then I'll have to go with the Galaxy (if I ever wind up deciding to get a Nautilus :hitselfonhead

NannyMom · Oct 17, 2008

If I'm remembering correctly, the gracopedic foam is thick. Would that mean you'd loose a little bit in torso height for the seat?

carseatcoach · Oct 17, 2008

Hm. I am almost tempted. I just don't know if I can justify buying another harnessed seat for a 6.5-year-old.

tanyaandallie · Oct 17, 2008

We have the Snugride with the gracopedic foam. It's so soft!!!! LOVE it!

emandbri · Oct 18, 2008

That does look cool but seriously more gray :thumbsdown:

miraclebabies · Oct 18, 2008

I really like it and hope that it comes out in time for me to move my DD into it. I hope it will be next summer or fall, when I move the new baby into a MA. So I will put this in Dh's car as a spare. She is still RF now and IMO to little for the seat so I will wait till this one comes out.

micapu · Oct 18, 2008

from what I've read on here, the Nautilus Elite is slated to come out in the next month or so... I'm debating whether I have time to wait for it or not

Same w/ new Britax fabric options for the Frontier, I read new stuff will be avail soon, so I'm impatiently waiting but don't have much time.

(DO YOU HEAR ME, MANUFACTURERS?!?!? MY KID'S GROWING AND I *NEED* MY NEW SEAT SOON!!! :soapbox::fencing::hitselfonhead

Hi
First time on here. But I wanted to buy the Nautilus and when I saw the pic of the new one coming out the Nautilus Elite, I wanted to wait for that one. Anyhow I contacted Graco via e-mail, and the response was...That the Nautilus Elite will come out May 2009 and it will be more than the original. But didn't say how much more?

april7771korey · Feb 6, 2009

Hi again
I just got another e-mail about the Graco Nautilus Elite from Customer Service. She said that the Nautilus Elite will retail for $219.99. Which is a little pricey for me, but I will still wait, maybe once it hits stores, it won't be that high?
