Also, the Nautilus Elite weighs 9kg, comparable to other Group 1-2-3 car seats from Britax or Cosatto for example, and is lighter than both my children. However, the padding around the crotch strap was also poorly designed - the Velcro fastener was not deep enough so it twizzled around with the child and offered little in the way of comfort.

I bought this car seat for my 14month old as she had outgrown her previous Group 1 car seat due to her height. Liz: Because it doesn’t have ISOFIX we have the reassurance it will fit in a wide range of hire cars, which is useful because not all cars have ISOFIX (although the Renault Captur does).Because we don’t have a car, our child seats live in the house and both Hannah and Catherine insist on keeping the Nautilus Elite downstairs next to the sofa so they can pretend it is their own executive style armchair. The 5-point harness can be used until the child is 18kg, after which you need to use the car’s own seatbelt to strap the child in. An accommodating headrest lets you quickly adjust the height of the headrest with one-hand and three recline positions lets your little one rest comfortably on long trips.

We got this car seat on a sale and couldn't be happier there is no many car seats which u can use from birth until 12 years. She says it is very comfortable and she likes the drink holder, although she seems to prefer using it for storing cuddly toys!

I was a little concerned that it appeared bulky when lifting it out of the box but because it is sturdy and so padded, you get peace of mind knowing that your little one will be comfortable and secure in it. div class="text-left font-weight-normal fs-small">If at any stage, your finance application is declined, remember that you can still pay using card or cash.

LATCH can still be used when the seat is in booster mode, which means your booster won't be flying about the car when your child isn't in it. For older children, such as our seven-year-old, Helen, the seat converts into a high-back booster seat using the car’s safety belt to keep child and seat in place. The difference between the Elite and the Milestone – Graco’s other flagship carseat – is that the Milestone is designed for use from birth. All you have to do is fasten the seat belt, passing it between the shell and the seat pad, remembering to pass the diagonal belt through the red plastic lock off. I loved this car seat and only had the slight problem with the recliner being rubbish and my sons head falling forward when asleep .

The big difference between the Nautilus Elite and the Milestone is that the Nautilus Elite is not for newborns. The adjustable headrest is perfect for supporting her head and she lives the cup holder - means no more losing her juice bottle during car rides! This car seat is by far the best I have ever used or seen for that matter - I’ve had mine now for 2. The whole idea is that it's a group 1 - 2 - 3 car seat that can be adapted to grow with your child so it will last from age 9 months right up to 11 years. And the biggest parent-friendly element has to be the fact that the cover comes right off and is machine washable - as a parent of kids who suffer from travel sickness, I can tell you how much you will appreciate that at times !

Overall, the Graco Nautilus 65 3-in-1 Harness is a secure and adjustable car seat that can accommodate children from 9.The recline option on the Nautilus is easy to facilitate by pulling on the red handle under the seat, but sadly it doesn’t appear to make any difference at all. I've mentioned the comfort and the handy built-in storage spaces but the most important thing is the safety aspect. It is solid even after years of use and very easy to strip covers of to clean, then looks as good as new again. As you'd expect from a company as serious and trusted as Graco, this is a high quality piece of safety equipment, offering side impact protection and a lock-off mechanism. She doesn’t normally nap in the day so it wasn’t the end of the world but younger sister Hannah still needs her daytime sleep.
