Graco Nautilus LX Harnessed Booster Car Seat, Group 1/2/3 (approx. 1 to 12 Years, 9-36 kg), Steeple Gray

Product Information

This is a welcome relief – you don’t need to take apart the car seat to rethread it as the child grows – I have done that in the past and it is a big job! Liz: Like all other 1/2/3 car seats, the Nautilus Elite is forward-facing and can be used for children from 9 to 18kg. As we have been using it as a high-back booster seat, we haven’t had to use this function but it is there should you need it. In addition to being rigorously tested to meet or exceed all applicable UK and European safety regulations, the Nautilus has been side impact tested to ensure better all-round protection. She says it is very comfortable and she likes the drink holder, although she seems to prefer using it for storing cuddly toys!

For over 60 years, the Graco brand has provided thoughtful, practical and dependable parenting solutions to generations of families.

Love this chair, we wanted something that was safe and easy to use and we were recommended this one at halfords. I have been able to fit it in my car and my parents with space between and also on my additional smaller seat I my seven seater too. I live in canada and when my husband was rear ended in a collision our insurance company replaced our old seat with this one, and i gotta say I am extremely impressed with this seat. Plus, our eagle-eyed car seat experts will check whether this seat affects how much space any front passengers have.

Graco’s safety surround protection system also incorporates a headrest that adjusts at the sides as well as up and down, meaning a child’s head would be further protected in a side impact collision. 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. At BabyBabyOnline, we understand that from time to time, you may purchase a product that doesn’t quite fit your requirements. At first the complicated instructions might prove a headache, as adjusting the seat to fit an older child is difficult, but overall this is a decent option that offers great value for money. With safety features that include reinforced steel, energy absorbing foam and reinforced side impact protection to protect your child’s head, the Graco Nautilus car seat is secure as well as durable.Our crash tests go beyond the legal minimum requirements for UK car seat regulations and are conducted at higher speeds and forces than the regulations require. Mili told me many times that she felt her little sister Tara should sit in this seat because it is more comfortable that the other seats we have. Here at BabyBabyOnline we offer Card Payments, Paypal, BAC's and we now offer 2 more Payment Options.

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. BNPL is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months depending on how much you spend. It’s comfartable for her and I feel the sturdiness and the way it builds around her makes it very protective for her.However, Graco have proved me wrong - even the group 3 booster seat is better than any of the others I've seen or used, because it is so comfortable, robust and offers the handy little gadgets like the cup holder that I've never seen on any other models. Our approach to caregiving stems from a heritage of innovation designed around safety, durability and the best intentions of loving parents.

Liz: The 5-point harness buckle was a let-down for me, I find it fiddly to couple the two pieces together and slot them in place. The conversion from harness to booster seat was straightforward, although it caused arguments with our youngest daughter as she wanted to use the seat!

I love this car seat, it is durable and built to last until your child no longer needs a car seat which makes it great value for money! The head sensor in the crash test dummy used in the Graco had a result of 759 HIC in our crash tests. My daughter has never complained about it like she did with her previous seat and she loves the cup holder and little pockets she can put her toys in. It comes with an inbuilt 5-point harness and older children up to 36kg (around 12 years) can use it as a high-back booster seat with the car’s own 3-point seat belt. Product is great, its easy to use, has a slight recline, it's easy to install, machine washable, goes through 2 stages, nice and padded, built really well, has cup holders, and easy adjustable headrest and fasteners.Unlike most 1/2/3 car seats the Nautilus Elite does not have an ISOFIX fitting, what do you think of that? Equipped with a frame that is steel-enforced for durability, this car seat also includes a cupholder and built-in storage pocket for snacks or games as they get a little older. But from a safety point of view I feel Hannah is as protected as her big sister and I do not feel Graco’s seat compromises on safety despite its wide-ranging adaptability. With 3-position recline, a cup holder, and built-in storage pockets for games and snacks, your kid will be comfortable during those longer trips – saving you from any more are-we-there-yets. Very interesting, will have a read of the childrens reviews, those arethe real proof of the pudding as it were!
