 Great buy! November 29, 2008
We are extremely pleased with the Graco Nautilus. My sons first convertible car seat was a Britax Marathon, which we loved. When we were looking for a second convertible seat, I didn't want to spend as much, or we would have purchased a second Marathon. The Graco Nautilus has a good weight and height range, which we need for our son, and it's a great price. It was easy to put together and install into the car. We are using it as the primary car seat, rather than the secondary for two reasons: my son loves the cup holder, and we love how easy it is to get our son strapped into it. I highly recommend this car seat!
Great seat! November 27, 2008
I really love this seat! It is a heavy, but totaly worth it! It is really great when my son goes to sleep; his head doesn't flop around! He really loves the built in cup holder. He is a really small 4 and he thinks this is a great big boy seat because it has the seat belt slots like his other booster. Our state recently changed the law and they have to be in a 5 point seat until they are 40 lbs. At the rate we are going he will be 6 before he gets there! This is a great solution! The straps are great... No twisting!
great car seat! November 26, 2008
we bought this car seat for my 3 year old. We wanted one with a 5-pt. harness and didn't want to pay a lot. It is very comfortable and easy to use.
Love them! November 26, 2008
Bought 1 for my 1 year old and 1 for my 4 yr old.. They fit great in my SUV and the boys seem VERY comfy.. taking a 6 hour ride tomorrow, so that should be the real test!
 Good, but a few drawbacks November 24, 2008

We had to buy this car seat even though I really wanted the Britax Frontier. I had a Britax Roundabout before this and really, really liked it. We actually did by the Frontier, but try as we might, we just couldn't get it to fit in my Honda Civic. The seat kept sliding within the seat belt even though it was tight as can be. Reluctantly, we had to look for something else. We ended up with the Nautilus.
The Nautilus is good, but doesn't have some of the conveniences of the Britax Roundabout. For example, the Roundabout has handy velcro on the seat belt and on the edge of the seat so that you can attach the belt to the seat so that the child doesn't end up sitting on the belt when he/she gets in. On the Nautilus, my child has hurt her back when sitting on the plastic clip. I might see about creating my own velcro for it. It's definitely convenient.
Another thing with the Nautilus is that my child's head flops forward when she falls asleep, even if the seat is in the recline position. This never happened with the Roundabout.
And the last thing is that I've noticed the fabric on the Nautilus just isn't as good as on the Roudabout. I already see evidence of wear on the seat and we've only had it about 4 months. We had the Roundabout for three years and still looks great. Not sure I'll be able to say the same about the Nautilus in 3 years. Plus it seems the fabric is also hotter and not as comfortable as the Roundabout. Britax just makes a really good product. Unfortunately, we just couldn't use it.
Overall, the Nautilus is good. And I certainly can't complain about the price. But if you can spend a little more, buy the Frontier because you'll have it a long time. Hopefully, you won't run into the same installation problems that we did. However, if money is tight, then you'll do fine with a Nautilus.
