Trying out seats...

Blondie87 · Feb 28, 2009

So we went to Target today for diapers, and they had the Rachel Nautilus! So I tried him out in that a took a pic, and a couple other seats. They had a Signo therte for 202.96 As is.. so I tried him out in that too.. at Judi's request.

Here are the pics.. I had fun but I don't think J did...

Rachel Nautilus, which I

It's just like the Reese, soft all over.

ETA, Just because I have never tried one of these out. I actually love it, I love the adjuster. I used to have 2 Generations, I guess I just forgot how nice the adjuster was!

Recaro Signo In the box...

At the highest setting out of the box.. His hood is kinda in the way.. sorry I'm new at this..

I tried to be fast cuz he was DONE.. lol.

Your Target sells Recaro? ...drool...

Blondie87 · Feb 28, 2009

I think just online, they never sell it IN the store. I am pretty sure it was just an online return.

Thanks for sharing the pics! Though, I am surprised you are allowed to? We are not allowed to show pics of foster kids online at all.

Caseworkers have seen them, don't say anything. And I have the parent's permission.

I love how he gets progressively more annoyed at each new seat. lol ((Except that he seemed kinda comfy in the box...))

Lol.. we had a break between the rest of the seats and the Recaro. Judi wanted so see pics of it after I told her it was there so we went back. So he had a lil break. And when he was in the box he had better access to his shoes and was focusing on getting them off.. notice the concentrated look on his face?

LOL I did see the floating shoe...

So what did you think of the Signo?? I had a Como at one time and sold it because I hated it. The head pillows were way too cushy and I was mad I didn't spend the extra money for the headwings of the Signo. I used the Como once or twice for my nephew and he screamed the whole time - it made him hot and sweaty. Plus it was a PITA RF'ing. I've thought recently though that maybe I should have kept it for FF'ing... But I'd rather have the Signo than the Como anyway. Did you pay attention to how the top harness slot of the Nauti compared to the highest adjustment of the Signo by chance??

I loved it. The Nauti and Signo were far away from each other, so I didn't pay attention. I was too afraid of getting in trouble for taking the Signo outta the box. When DH saw the box he was like, "70 lbs, Damn!" I told him it doesn't get most kids to 70 lbs though. But I liked it alot, I would just be worried about RF leg room and how high it would be in my car. Since those are the biggest 2 complaints about the seat. But it was awesome...

Yeah, I'd never use it RF'ing. Huge PITA - to install and to adjust. Plus, I could barely fit it in the backseat of a Tahoe. Let alone the Malibu I drive now. It's huge. I got it in the middle with the top between the two front seats, but it was a struggle. I probably could have put it more upright, which I didn't know at the time, but I do know it was more upright than 45 degrees. I never tried it FF'ing, but I'm wishing I had, just to see... I love my Recaro HBB that DD uses in grandma's car.

ha ha... SERIOUSLY!

Okay, the Nauti is cuter than stock photos make it look. Is it me or would it totally go with a Como or Signo in Blush???

Blondie87 · Mar 1, 2009

I have never seen a Blush Como IRL.. but it definately looks like it would!!

I so want one to go with my blush Signo

Yes it looks like it'd go perfect!!!

I really don't like how the Nautilus and the Signo push his head forward. Out of those 3 seats I think the ETA wins hands down. I had the original ET and loved it except for the fact that my son outgrew it so quickly.

Mommy0608 · Mar 1, 2009

Thanks for taking these pics! I actually saw the Rachel Nautilus at my Target yesterday too. It kind of made me think of Pepto.

It's not too bad though, a nice option for girly girls... though I think I like the butterfly cover a little better personally.

Too bad DH won't let me get girly seats for DD. She'd love it, but we have to consider passing the seats down to DS eventually.

Blondie87 · Mar 1, 2009

It seems like it's a lighter pink then the stock photo. I like this cover better then Mariposa.. but I've also never seen Mariposa in person...
