Who else has the Graco Nautilus?

I'm really starting to hate that seat. The extra padding part on the seat that the straps feed through is driving me nuts, the straps get twisted in it all the time and if I don't tug on it to pull it up after I sit J in the seat then the straps don't get tightened correctly. I'm going to have to go search the manual and see if I can pull that extra padding out. If I can't I'm seriously thinking about buying a new seat.

ETA: apparently I was supposed to pull that thing out when I moved the harness up a slot a month ago... oops Embarrassed

Re: Who else has the Graco Nautilus?

  • I was gonna say, it isn't my full time seat, my parents have it, but they haven't complained and when I go with them and I put him in it I have no complaints

    My only real issue with it, is the crotch strap, it tends to fall back and I always have to pull it out from under D's butt, LOL.

  • The crotch strap drives me nuts too and the harness straps are kind of a PITA to thread and I think I have to remove them to take that padding thing out. I was much happier with my Britax.
  • I am still using my Roundabout and will until Davis outgrows it in height.  Why did you stop using your Roundabout?

    But yeah, Britax seats are they way to go if you can get past the cost.  But for the price of the Nautilus, you cannot beat it.  Even with the few minor complaints I have.  It is a great seat for a great price for someone looking at 3 in 1 seats. 

    When Davis outgrows the Roundabout I'm not sure what I'll go to.  I'd love a Britax Frontier, but they are almost twice as much as a Nautilus.

  • We moved the Roundabout to the other vehicle when I was pregnant just in case DH would have to pick up J from daycare and then got the Nautilus for my vehicle.
  • We bought one a few months ($125 at target) ago due to the reviews on here and from a couple other friends of mine who have it and love it.  However, we are still unable to use it as A is only 17lbs, 11oz. 
  • Hmmm ... I just got my new BRU book today (did you all see Sophie on the cover!!!) and w/ the trade in the Nautilus was in there at a good price. That is the one I was going to get in the next week or so. I want 2 of them.
