I think it is the best thing Graco did. Come out with a lower priced seat that can harness kids longer, then turn to a High back and then a no back.

I had the frontier and honestly could never get it installed right in my van with seatbelt and had to sweat alot to get it in. I finally gave it up, since my seats come and go out of my car alot due to my home daycare.

The nautilus I have installed since having it last week in my van (2 times in 3 different positions using latch and another time using seatbelt).
I have installed it in my inlaws 2008 Ford Escape with seatbelt and then for fun with latch
I have also installed it in my friend's Ford Edge(2008) with latch.


I think I have found my favorite seat The only thing I don't like about it is it puzzles with nothing good. :-(


A big plus is Logan(4 next week) who wanted a booster so bad, who was starting to cry every day in his carseat(chase, scenera, FPSVD) loves his seat. He loves the booster look(he calls it his booster ) and loves the cupholder and "toy storage".

My husband loves it too. He says, Finally a seat I don't have to wrestle with to get installed(talking about the regent, frontier and radian).

I think I have found the perfect carseat for Logan and his forever seat (did I just say that)?

My inlaws thought it was so cute they are thinking about getting one for their car just to keep at their house :thumbsup:

Ok, I just had to share my with people who would understand. My "IRL" friends think I have lost it

I my Nauti too! I recommend it ALL the time.

FWIW, I've found it puzzles well with a RF Scenera.

I was wondering that EXACT thing! Good to know :thumbsup:

Our Nauti gets rave reviews over here as well. I just love that seat . It fits our needs perfectly...HWH, good booster, well-built, and cheap(er). It also helps that it fits my skinny kids SO well. I find myself recommending it frequently.

That's awesome to hear. The Nautilus will most likely be my next seat purchase provided it installs well in my truck and dd likes it. I'm just waiting for it to go on sale at work before buying it.

OMG! Are you kidding me? I was just going from reviews on here, hearing people say it doesn't puzzle well.

I am going to try it out this week sometime. I am ok with it is the captain's chair and the DCK(baby) is in the next captain chair and michael and the other 6 year old is in the 3rd row.

I will need to fit 3-across in my friends Ford Edge, so I am curious if I will be able to do it with the nautilus. We like to go out in one car alot, and we like to switch up vehicles.

I am also glad to here it is so well liked. Now that DD is FF we are going to most likely buy her one for DH's car. Finally we will have a seat for his car and not always have to take mine!

Jenny and I have gotten 3 across in her Focus with the Nauti, FPSVB/Starriser, & RF Scenera before.

It also works ok with the Uptown in my car, but my Sable has funky contours on the sides, that make the Nauti fit really well. I need to get a pic of it.

We have the GN and the Frontier and I'd have to admit I like the GN better.

I never thought I would say that, but I had issues with the regent installing, issues with the frontier, but I loved my marathon when i had it. Super easy install.

See? That's why I always sell seats that are just taking up space in the garage- 'cuz it spreads happiness to others!!!

I think it has the best install in my Camry than any other seat- period.
