Summary: Good carseat
Comment: We bought this carseat because we have always been happy with Graco and we hope that this will be the last car seat that we have to buy our son (Virginia requires kids be in some type of car/booster seat until they are 8). We like that our son can be in a 5-point harness until he's 65 lbs and then we can convert the seat to a high-back booster or backless booster. Our son loves the seat, especially the cup holder. The only thing we don't like about the carseat is that the bottom isn't padded very well...we will have to see how he does when we travel. Also note that the extra padding insert shown with the 5-seat harness only works with the harness straps at their lowest position, so once they pass that, there is no extra padding. Overall, a great carseat for the price. Hopefully it will last for 5 more years! UPDATE: There is no way that your child will be able to wear the 5 point harness until he/she is 65 lbs. Our son just turned three, weighs 30 lbs, and is very slim for his age. We have had to remove the 5 point harness because the strap that goes between the legs does not sit far enough away from the back of the seat, leaving little room for comfort. He complained about it hurting, so we now use the regular seatbelt. Unfortunate, but at least we were able to have the harness for an extended amount of time. FYI...the car seat is extremely easy to use with the regular car seatbelt.

Summary: Britax owner who loves this seat!
Comment: After owning only Britax seats through the years, we recently bought this seat as an extra. It will be used for quick trips in the communter car... but... it is a fantastic seat! It is built solid, with great features similar to the Britax. It has a wraparound head area, and adjustable height that is easy to change. The belts do not twist, and are adjustable in the front, with rollers in the back to keep them moving smoothly. My daughter was slumping forward when sleeping, but with the recline it is not an issue. We attached with the top tether and LATCH (she is still under the max weight) and it was a breeze. It is a wonderful alternative to the belt-positioning booster, for now, until 65 pounds! It can easily convert to three different seats as she gets older. This will truely last a long time. We are pleased in every way and think that it was well worth more money. The harness is the biggest feature that we bought it for, and would buy it again. Hope that this helps anyone on the fence~ Britax are great seats, but this is as well.

Summary: SAVED a life again.
Comment: This is or should I say was our second Nautilus. Today we were rear ended as we sat at a red light. Teenager trying to text, hit us at 45 mph. Car totaled, mom with major back and neck pain, dad writing this review with broken wrist and both daughters running around wondering why daddy can't just fix the car! This seat might be heavy as some reviewers have said. It might be a little more spendy as well. When it comes to the safety of daddy's little girls, I am on here getting two more for them right now. We will all survive with bumps and bruises, but my daughters were 100% restrained, seats still look great, but are being replaced due to the crash. Hope it helps in your search for a great seat! They absolutely love the cubby bins and drink holder.

Summary: The BEST Car Seat!
Comment: We have owned the Nautilus car seat for 1.5 years now... and I absolutely LOVE it.

Reasons Why We will Be getting another one for our younger daughter too:

1. Our older daughter is 4.5 and is still riding safely and comfortably in the five point harness.
2. The Sippie holder is built right into the seat. So no matter what form you use the seat in your child will always have it.
3. The hidden cubbies on the insides of the arm rest are perfect for storing sunglasses and little toys.
4. The Fabric is durable and doesn't show wear. I have only had to wash ours once.
5. The seat Reclines, ours is set in the recline so that if she falls asleep her head doesn't lean forward.
6. It's easy to adjust the straps. Our older daughter is the only using this seat so we only adjust the straps when she has a growth spurt. But they are easy to do and if she happens to put on a sweatshirt it's easy to let them out a little to compensate for it.
7. The fabric is nice and classy. There isn't any wild flower patterns or cow pattern going on here... it matches my car interior nicely without being bland.
8. It's the last car seat we will buy. IT's so versatile and alot cheaper than other high end models who do not offer this kind of staying power.

I can't rave about this car seat enough. I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

Summary: Last carseat you'll need? Probably.
Comment: We had been looking for a "booster" seat with a higher weight limit harness for a while, so we were glad to see this alternative to the higher priced Sunshine Kids, Recaro and Britax models. We had our daughter try it out in person before ordering, and she thought it was comfy. We've been using it for about a month now, and she's been very happy with it. She's still able to fall asleep on longer trips, and she loves the cupholder more than anything.
The seat is easy to install, and very stable once it's in. The straps are easy to tighten and loosen as well, and everything fits well.
