Help keep your child harnessed as long as you can and if you can do that without buying a procession of car seats, even better! The new Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat is the only forward-facing car seat your child will need. It helps keep him safe in a 5-point harness longer than most car seats ? all the way up to 65 lbs.

Later, the seat converts to a highback booster then backless booster, for comfortable, custom protection up to 100 lbs. Extensive crash testing and a steel-reinforced structure give parents peace of mind, while the height adjusting head support and extra-comfy seat with wide armrests, cup holder and side storage help your precious passenger relax and enjoy the ride.

Features: Extended 5-point harness fits kids up to 65 lbs. to keep them safer longer Converts from 5-point harness to High-Back Booster for children 30-100 lbs. and Backless Booster for children 40-100 lbs. Steel reinforced structural frame: Steel reinforced frame provides strength and durability 3-position recline to get the correct installation and comfort Wider, padded armrests are extra comfy Head rest can be easily adjusted in one hand so it changes with child's growth Engineered and crash tested to meet or exceed US standard: U.S. Compliance Standard FMVSS 213 New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) ? peak Crash Force approximately 2X Car Seat Standard Extreme Car Interior Temperatures EPS, energy absorbing foam Cup holder and convenient side storage keep must-haves handy Open loop belt guides easily position your vehicle's seatbelt Recommended Use: 20 - 65 lbs. 5-point harness 30- 100 lbs.

Great seat!!

So far, a great seat for the price!! Don't know what the true difference is between this and the britax marathon besides price of course.

Love this seat - and will have it for many years ahead!

I just purchased this item for my 4-year-old daughter. She is a bit taller than average for her age and has outgrown the other Graco 5-point harness/booster seat we had. She is not yet old enough to be trusted with a belt-positioning booster but she wanted to "graduate" like her older brother and sisters. This seat is wonderful! First of all, it is incredibly sturdy and installs easily. Secondly, it is very comfortable for her! She always has a place to rest her head if she's tired without slumping forward like her old one and the wings are wide enough that they're not obstructing her view or restricting head movement. I adjusted the headrest a little bit to fit her height but she still has quite a bit of growing room AND she's only in the second to top harness position so I love that it's going to meet our needs for quite some time. If my daughter were writing this review she'd say, "I like sitting so high - I feel like the queen because I can see everything.", "Cubbies are great", and "I love my cup holder." The seat sits higher off the seat than my older car seats so she really has a great view of everything. The cup holder is very deep, unlike most, so the likelihood that the cup will tip over has been greatly reduced. There are "cubbies" on the insides of the arm rests for storing little snacks, tissues, etc.
Although I am extremely happy with this purchase, there are some drawbacks to having all these great features. Because it's so safe, it is quite heavy (not a problem unless you're constantly moving it from car to car) and it is a bit wider and higher off the seat than most. We have a Honda Odyssey and we carpool with friends. At times there are 6 children getting in the back. I've found that it's very difficult for the passengers to maneuver around the car seat as they are entering/exiting if it's placed on the seat by the door they frequently use. For me, it's the right side. It works out fine for me because I just install it by the other door. The best place for it is probably on either side in the back row but she's my youngest and still needs to be within arms reach of me so I'm not ready for that yet. There was an instance when I put her seat in the middle position in the back row and found it a bit difficult to see out of the back window through my rear-view mirror because of the height. It also took her a little longer to figure out how to buckle herself out of this one so that can be a + or - for you, depending upon your situation. (I kind of like it). All in all, it's a great seat. I don't regret it at all and wish I had started out with it years ago, although I'm extremely happy with the idea that she will be able to graduate from the 5-point harness to a belt-positioning booster, to a backless booster and we'll be getting our use out of it. Sorry, I haven't had to wash the seat covers yet so I don't know how difficult or easy it will be to undo and redo it all.

Great car seat

My two year old son loves his new car seat. I looks very comfortable and will be the last car seat we will have to buy.

all the reviews are right!

I have been researching online for days, looking for a great, well made, safe booster seat for my 3 year old. after reading a lot of different things, I realized it is best to keep my son in a 5-point harness as long as possible. This one goes all the way up to 65lbs, then turns into a booster, so this is the last car seat we will buy him. he loves it, he says its comfy, so we are happy! this one has the best ratings on every website, people love it, and its a great deal here on amazon for $[...] and free shipping!

Graco Nautilus Review

We really like the Graco Nautilus. It is one of the only car seats out there that can seat our 45 pound three year old safely with the 5 point harness and an older car that has no latch or tether points. It seems very comfortable.
