I have the Nautilus that goes to 80 lbs with the harness!! Awesome!!!!!! The only thing that's hard to get used to for me and my son are the harness pads that are not removable. (Nov 24, 2016)

I bought 4 of these for my little girls. They are super easy to install and for the kiddos to get into & buckle without any issues. Goes up to 65lbs/49" then turns into a highback & no back booster! Nov 02, 2021

I have this seat for my 8 year old son. My son loves the fact that he can sleep comfortably in this seat. Love how sturdy this seat is as well versus the turbo booster seat. Jul 18, 2021

This is a great car seat as it is very sturdy but comfortable at the same time. The harness is easy to adjust with only one hand and the fabric is easy to remove and put back on for washing. Jun 18, 2021

We got this car seat about 2 years ago for my toddler and he has definitely USED it, and it still looks really good. I have had to take off the cover multiple times and wash it and it was easy to do. May 21, 2021

My youngest sister has this seat currently. I do like it, however if you're going to spend so much on a seat you may as well get one that will last a little longer and is able to face backwards. Apr 20, 2021

This car seat is durable, easy to clean, and easy to install. It is a bit heavy, but that's to be expected as it is a car seat and booster seat. I love the ease of adjustment for different kids! Mar 13, 2021

Great quality. Not too hard to clean, and not too bulky. Feb 20, 2021

I really liked this car seat. I like the cup holders and that it can grow with the kiddos. If there are any accidents or spills it can be very difficult to clean, especially the plastic under part. Feb 23, 2020

We do a lot of research bon our car seats. We lived that this one goes to a high weight and can be used with a 5 point or a seat belt. Feb 13, 2020

Our daughter is so safe and secure in this car seat. The seatbelt straps are so easy to remove and put back into place if needed. Cleans well after crumbs and other food as in it. Feb 03, 2020

Lightweight and great for 2nd vehicle seat. Not as padded as 4ever for long travel comfort. Feb 01, 2020

I bought one at target and I loved the price. The seat was plush. It held my daughter pretty good compared to my other car seats. My only complaint is the head rest adjuster was hard to adjust. Jan 06, 2019

Have been using for my son for going on 3 years. Even bought a second for my parents car. Leaves plenty of room in the backseat and I still feel like my child is safe. Apr 25, 2018

bulky but more room for my son to readjust himself since not all the paddling some have. cup holder liners come out thank goodness. Definitely get a seat protector if your seats are leather. good buy Apr 01, 2018

Lasts through many years. Very comfortable. My kids love the cup holders and little cubbyhole in the arm rest. It is heavy but very sturdy. I wish the latch connectors still worked with it. backless. Dec 09, 2017

We've had zero problems with this seat. It does NOT sit rear-facing, so it won't work as an infant seat. My son just turned three, and this seat still looks brand new. Dec 07, 2017

Not a baby seat as my child says. Easily adjustable. Installs decent, some seats with forward buckle hard to get tight. Fabric cleans up nice but needs a washing machine. Harness close together neck. May 23, 2017

We love our nautilus. We needed extra seats but didn't want I pay the same price that we paid for our Britax. This seat fit the bill. It has served our almost 7 year old very well! Nov 16, 2016

My daughter loves this seat. It is comfortable, easy to install, has awesome hidey pockets, and a good cup holder. It is also lower profile than our MyRide 65 which is great for my husbands legs. Sep 24, 2016

It's a much better booster than 5 point harness. My son loves it and all the cubbies it has. Perfect as an extra car seat. Jun 30, 2016

Bottom buckles is too far back. Have to make my son uncomfortable in his private area just to get the buckle tight enough. Easy to install but not Worth it due to buckle issue. Feb 01, 2016
- Kendall A.

Don't love it but don't hate it. Can be difficult to install, boring cover options and my son didn't find it comfortable. Does convert to a proper fitting booster though which is nice Jan 29, 2016

Pros: It fits in our small car (Yaris). It's a 3in1 system. Cons: The buckle is finicky and difficult to tighten/loosen. It's a time consuming process to get it in and out of the car. Meh. Sep 30, 2014

Everyone-
Q: Im looking for a middle of the road priced car seat for a second car. Would people recommend this or not? Seems like a lot of people find the buckles tough to strap?
