Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat Review

We bought the Graco Nautilus for my 5 year old daughter to use in my husband's van. We have the Britax Marathon in my van, and we really like it. However, it is quite expensive, so when we found this seat by Graco, we decided to buy it. I have only seen them at Walmart around us.

This seat is for children up to 65 pounds and 52" tall with the 5 point harness, and 100 pounds and 57" tall as a booster seat. It is important to keep a child in a 5 point harness as long as possible.

I was hoping that this seat would come in a pretty girly color, but it was only available in black, so we go that. When I got it home, it did require a little bit of assembly. Nothing hard and no tools were required. You just have to snap a few things into place. I did it in under 5 minutes. The seat seems quite sturdy once everything is snapped into place.

My 5 year old can buckle herself into this seat (although, I always check to make sure she is buckled in correctly.) The seat was easy to hook into our 1998 Safari van with bucket seats. There is a tether strap for the seat, which helps secure the seat.

 My daughter likes the built in cup holder on the seat. She says it is very comfortable. We haven't had any trouble with the straps twisting so far.

We are so far, very pleased with this seat, it was a nice alternative to buying another Britax. This seat is safe to use on a plane.
