Hmm, which seat should I buy?

[zactayaus]

It ends up about $195 with shipping.

Well that's an ok discount but not crazy good as I can get one on Amazon for like $223 and then if the seat doesn't work out for me I wouldn't feel bad if I sold it.

Oh, can't wait to see pics!

I can't wait to see pictures too. What cover is it?

I got Breakers and it's nice but if Graco comes out with a red or orange cover I'll drop it like a hot potato.



So when I opened the door to the car this morning Gavin was like "Is that my new seat?! It's so cool! It looks just like Austin's! I'm a big boy now!" He was head over heals in love with it.



And here are some pics from today:

I made the parental decision to swap out the old style buckle and tongs from our MR. Since they are both rated to 65lbs I am 100% ok with it.

I was going to ask the same thing! Good idea!

He looks so happy in it!!

 

[monstah]

He is just too cute for words!! He looks great in the GN!

 

[Kat_Momof3]

[Baylor]

Looks great!! He is so adorable!!

So cute! I feel your pain on the head slump. It bothers me so much that when CJ outgrows the BLVD, I'm going to have to figure out a way to make the FR fit and just deal with the other seat rubbing the red tabs. Hopefully by then Gabe will be out of a booster and can sit in just the seat belt next to the FR. Currently, Abi sits in a PW behind the driver. The FR doesn't fit well next to it. It'll be so much easier when I don't have to worry about putting a booster behind the driver.

If it weren't for the head slump, the GN would be my best bet, but the head slump kills it for me.

Have you tried the GNE w/headwings? I'm pretty sure you can change the covers, it just covers up the headwing buttons.

No I haven't. Is it supposed to be better with head slump? I'm really not liking this head slump thing at all.

Here's a pic from this afternoon.

Do you have the recline foot all the way out?

 

[Kat_Momof3]

it could help because the wings can adjust in... if it doesn't, I'd try the prosport.

 

[zactayaus]

Yup, foot all the way out.

 

[glockchick]

They exactly what my girls looked like in them too. I can't deal with it. They sleep fine in FR's. We never tried the prosport.

I think it depends on the vehicle how bad the head slump is. When DD is in hers in DH's truck, she looks just like the pics. When she is in the Cherokee, her head leans back perfect. The seats are sloped more.

 

[zactayaus]

Well I got the FR in where I want it and I can still flip the 40 part of my bench without half ripping off the red cover tab on the side of the FR. I just have to see if Austin will be able to buckle himself up in his booster.

Here's a pic from last night when we had to go run dd clothes over to her friends house for a sleep over. Unfortunately he didn't fall asleep like I had hoped so I don't know if he'll have head slump or not yet.

 

[Baylor]

We don't have any slump in the FR. Im just shocked to see that head slump. We don't have it in our car.

I asked Graco about this, but for the Argos, and they told me I couldn't do it. If anybody else is considering this for the Nautilus, I suggest asking Graco as well.

Well considering it is the same exact buckle and tongs that the GN was originally sold with I'm good with it. The Argos is rated to 70lbs so no I would not feel comfortable using it with that seat.

I specified only using it to 65 pounds but that didn't seem to affect their answer.
