Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat, Matrix Right now


I bought this for my son when he turned 2, a year ago. It is the last carseat you'll need. The seat was very easy to put together and set up. Yes there are a lot of eye hooks, but not a problem to put together. I love the deep seat, cubbies in the arm rest and deep cup holder. The seat is easy to adjust for height and extremely easy to install with a seatbelt. I never had a carseat the installed snugly so fast. Since we use a seatbelt to install, the latch belts are hidden and not hanging out all over the place like other carseats. I love the deep seat and the side wings on the seat. My child is no doubt snug and secure. I do find the red shoulder belt guides to be the best indicator of when to adjust the harness straps to the correct height. The shoulders should be below the guides, and they are in line with the harness slots. It is simple to get a perfect fit with this seat.

The cons are minor and don't affect the functioning of the seat. 1. The cover is velcroed at the top. It is so snug, that on ours the cover doesn't velcro. It is off by a 1/4-1/3 inch. My 2.5 is always pulling it off. 2. The seat cover is really light in color and gets dirty very quickly. On the positive side, Idon't have to remove the entire cover to wash one section. For example, when the diaper leaks, I only have to wash the dirty part and not the entire thing and it doesn't take all day to dry.

I have contemplated purchasing one to replace my 6yo turbo booster. His Turbo booster is very flimsy in comparison to this rock solid seat. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a forward facing seat for their toddler.
