  • Live this a carseat, I have 2! Jun 28, 2022

  • I have 2 of these car seats. I like how spacious they are because it means more room for my kids to be comfortable, but because they are spacious, they’re huge and take up a lot of seat space. May 29, 2022

  • Love that this has grown with my son and he is able to still have 5 point harness at his age. May 05, 2022

    Isn’t too big, isn’t uncomfortable and is very easy to wash and install. I don’t mind moving it from car to car. Apr 28, 2022

  • The car seat is light and compact. The baby is comfortable in it and has just one cup holder, that is all she needs. It has a sight recline, almost wish it went back a little more. The colors- sleek. Apr 22, 2022

  • We ended up returning this seat because the seatbelt would dig into my son's back. Running the seatbelt thru the beltpath caused a slight twist that couldn't be fixed because the path is so high. Apr 16, 2022

    My daughter loved how comfy this seat was and the install was easy and quick! Apr 02, 2022

  • We’ve had this seat for 6 years. Very durable and my sons says it’s comfortable. The only negative is the weight. This seat is very heavy. We leave it installed so it’s not an issue for me though. Feb 27, 2022

  • I love my Nautilus! We bought two for me and my husband’s vehicles. They are nice and sturdy, makes me feel good using them. They also grow with your child when they are ready for foward facing. Jan 23, 2022

  • My four year old loves this seat! The extra cubby holes offer a place to put all those things she insists on bringing. Dual cup holders is wonderful as well. Jan 04, 2022

  • This is our 2nd car seat. It was good purchase for our family. Dec 24, 2021

    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

  • Bought this as a back up car seat and love it more than my original car seat. Aug 28, 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 31, 2022

  • 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

  • I love this carseat for my 3 year old. Very comfortable and easy to install. Cup holders are great. Easy to tigten. Not too bulky. May 09, 2018

    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

    • mount carmel, Pennsylvania

    great for older kids and grows with them. love this seat Oct 18, 2017

  • This is a great mid-range car seat. We have a Rav 4 and have no issues with fit. It feels substantial and I have no doubts on safety. Oct 11, 2017

  • This car seat feels secure. It is easy to install, and I love that we are getting multiple car seats for the price! Aug 04, 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

  • I like this seat, it's comfortable for my son and easy to clean. I don't like the anchor style that attaches to the seat. They are difficult to install. May 11, 2017

  • We bought this as a second car seat and I have found this one much easier to move and use compared to our britax clicktight. Apr 13, 2017

  • Bought one of these for every car. Once my kids were old enough to forward face this was their chair. Last seat you will need to buy. Love they grow with it! Jan 21, 2017

  • just got this havent tried yet Jan 10, 2017

    We are newer to this car seat. My daughter loves it! I like that it has strap covers as well. Dec 26, 2016

  • Bulky Nov 25, 2016

  • 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

  • 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

  • Bought it according to size/weight listing for our 4 year old... WAY too small for sizes it says it will fit. Ended up returning it. Nov 13, 2016

  • easy to clean, perfect size Oct 04, 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

  • Just got this car seat for my car and I love it! It's kind of heavy but fits perfect in my highlander. My daughter loves how comfy it is and its decently easy to retread. Feb 28, 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

  • 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

  • Overall this has been a great car seat. I don't like the head slump when my daughter is sleeping, but she doesn't seem bothered a bit by it. Dec 04, 2015

  • We own this carsest as our extra, it is great! Love the cup holders and the little cubby holes:) Oct 04, 2014

  • 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

    We have this as the second car seat in my mom's car, my long son has lots of leg room and fits comfortably. The cup holders are amazing! Sep 30, 2014

  • i have two of these, i love how it goes all the way to a booster and has a cup holder. but is a pain to get in and out of the car and its sort of bulky and very heavy. cleans well though and will last Aug 18, 2014

  • No problems so far. Not compatible for rear facing. Jul 28, 2013

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?
