Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat Description
Once your child outgrows her rear-facing infant car seat, she’s still required ride in a car seat or a booster for several more years to come. So rather than investing in a succession of seats and boosters, try the Graco Nautilus 3-in 1 Toddler Car Seat, the only forward-facing car seat your child will need. Its five-point harness accommodates children up to 65 pounds, and its convertible booster/backless booster can hold children up to 100 pounds in weight–longer than most other convertible car seats.
Versatile, Convertible Design Lasts through Early Childhood
The Nautilus features an extended five-point harness design that can accommodate children over the age of one, from 20 to 65 pounds in weight–a wider range than most other forward-facing car seats. As your child grows, the seat easily converts to a high-back booster and then, lastly, to a backless booster for a child up to 100 pounds in weight. A steel-reinforced frame and superior construction help to ensure safety and durability through years of use.
Built for Comfort and Superior Safety
You can rest assured that your child will have superior protection while riding in the Nautilus, thanks to extensive crash testing and a steel-reinforced structure. The car seat meets or exceeds US Safety Standards, including U.S. Compliance Standard FMVSS 213; the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), with peak Crash Force approximately twice the Car Seat Standard; and tests for Extreme Car Interior Temperatures. EPS energy-absorbing foam provides additional security and comfort.
As well as being secure and safe, your child will feel extra-comfy, too, with an easily adjustable head support, cushioned seat, and wide armrests; a cup holder and side storage keeps snacks and treasures close at hand.
Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat Reviews
great car seat for keeping kids harnessed longer
I found this car seat while searching for something reasonably priced that would harness past 40 pounds. I bought a different seat first, but while it claimed to harness to 50# and 47″, my 37 pound 2 year old was already too tall for it. I returned it and purchased the Nautilus. We are using the harness straps in the second hole down, so he still has a good deal of room to grow in this seat. The straps are extremely easy to adjust and installation was no problem. I use the vehicle seatbelts rather than LATCH. The arm rests are very sturdy. The cup holder is in a good location. I plan to keep him harnessed in this seat for hopefully 2 more years, or until he becomes too tall, and then continue to use this seat as a belt positioning booster. The headrest is very easy to adjust and is able to raise quite high. This seat can accomodate a 20# child, but it’s much better to use a convertible seat and keep the child rear facing to 35#.
Great carseat!
I love this carseat so much, I’m going to purchase another one for our other car! I was having a hard time finding a carseat that was high-weight on the 5-point harness that didn’t cost a ton of $$. My kid is a car sleeper, so good head support was a must (this is an issue with my other carseat now).
It has great head support for when he falls asleep, nice deep, wide cupholder, and is the most secure fit I’ve gotten in any of my carseats so far! My 30-month, 30-pound son is very comfy, and it’s super easy to adjust around his clothing, etc. NOTE: I don’t recommend putting it together in a parking lot at 11PM in winter, as it takes some time to assemble and is hard to do with cold fingers.
