Editorial Reviews:

Help keep your child harnessed as long as you can and if you can do that without buying a procession of car seats, even better! The new Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat is the only forward-facing car seat your child will need. It helps keep him safe in a 5-point harness longer than most car seats ? all the way up to 65 lbs.

Later, the seat converts to a highback booster then backless booster, for comfortable, custom protection up to 100 lbs. Extensive crash testing and a steel-reinforced structure give parents peace of mind, while the height adjusting head support and extra-comfy seat with wide armrests, cup holder and side storage help your precious passenger relax and enjoy the ride.

Summary: Value + looks
Comment: After shopping around and testing different car seats, this was the hands down winner. It's made well, looks good and is priced fair. We have two of them and have been using them for a few months with no complaints. All the Graco products (stroller, car seats) that we've had have been good.

Summary: Not bad!
Comment: I spent a lot of time looking for car seats for my daughter and found this one. It was reasonably priced and considering that it lasts a while in different stages it is definately worth the price. My daughter really likes it better then the last one. It was a little tougher to secure in the car then the rear facing one but thats about it.

Summary: Easy To Use and Love the Cup Holder and Side Pockets
Comment: My son is five years old, 45 pounds, 47 inches tall, and we were set to purchase a much more expensive seat for him as he was getting too tall for his Britax Boulevard. However, on the enthusiastic recommendation of my sister-in-law and another friend we purchased the Graco Nautilus and have been very happy with it. It has a quality feel to it with all the features of more expensive models. Not only was it half of what we thought we'd be spending, it was really easy to assemble and use and my son loves the cup holder and the "hidden" pocket/receptacles on either side of the seat. He loves to take his socks and shoes off in the car and now he stashes his socks in the pockets so we don't have to look all over for them.

Summary: Great car seat
Comment: This is a great car seat. I plan to keep my daughters harnessed until they fight me tooth and nail about it, and this car seat will allow me to do so. I currently have my 2 1/2 year old in this seat and my 10 month old will probably switch from her SafeSeat to this at around 15 months.

As for the recline, there is a reason it does not lean back like an easy chair: safety. You and your children are safer sitting upright than leaning too far back. My daughter can undo the chest clip, but not the lower and she is learning that she should not undo it.

I would have loved to have bought a Britax because they have prettier patterns, but what really makes a car seat? This seat is well made and I believe it will last the entire 5 years it is recommended that you keep a car seat. By that time my oldest will be 7 and my youngest will be 6 before hers expires.
