Baby Nautilus 80 Elite 3-in-1 Car Seat
Product Details
Web ID: 2765878Great seat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this seat so much. My 9 year old can still ride in it, but we have switched her to a booster seat now and passed the seat down to my 6 year old. They hate the shoulder pads, bc they aren’t Removable, but all in all it’s a great seat! I’m glad we chose the 80 elite vs the natillas 65, bc of the higher weight and height limits of the seat. I love that I am able to use the seat longer and keep my kiddos safely strapped in at higher limits than normal seats.

Love the seat- hard to tighten straps.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this seat! It’ s sleek and easy to clean. It’s not a beast when your try to pick it up. I would give it 5 stars but I will admit that the straps are hard to tighten and it’s even harder to loosen to the straps to remove it from the car. If it is an everyday seat it’s great but I wouldn’t get as a back up that’s getting removed constantly.

Super comfy..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my son. We wanted a car seat the he could keep growing into. This one was perfect. He is very comfortable. It reclines when he needs to be leaned back more. It's easy to take everything off and throw in the was. He's high enough to look out and he loves that he can put his cup in the cupholder like a big boy. It's also super safe. We made a good decision to buy.

Tightening issue
Tightening issue I’m so disappointed. We had boughten this car seat in hopes of it being the only one we’d need as our baby girl grew older. The car seat looks great and seems comfortable. However The latch system is nearly impossible to get the car seat secure. The car seat is still moving around! Even my husband spent over an hour trying to get it in his car it was the same outcome. With our daughter in the car seat (after multiple efforts of getting the seat to feel safely attached) The new issue arose. Now we can’t get the shoulder straps to tighten. My husband clearly described it as playing tug of war with this seat. I have taken it out and set it on the floor to try to tighten it and it works just fine? This is a huge flaw and don’t feel safe with my child using it. We have a slim fit in my car and absolutely love it. It’s so disappointing that Graco would have such major safety flaws in a product and yet no type of recall for it.

Can’t tighten straps
Pretty disappointed with this car seat. Was pretty easy to install, but am frustrated every time I have to put my daughter into it. I can’t get the straps to tighten up around her. To get it to tighten at all I have to pull on it several times as hard as I can. This shouldn’t be a hostile experience every time I put her in the car. Even after yanking on the strap several times, it’s still never tight so safety is definitely an issue. If she’s not in the seat I can tighten the straps just fine, so the issue is with her weight in the seat. She’s 30 pounds.

Love this carseat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having horrible rattling sounds from my next fit car seat from another company I decided to try Graco for the first time. I purchased this car seat for my husband's car and I wish I would have bought 4!! I have two children and would have loved each of them to have this car seat for both of our vehicles. My 3 year old absolutely loves it and tells me it's so comfortable. It was a little difficult to install in my husband's Ford ST. I had to use the anchors in his trunk which was really difficult to tighten. Otherwise I wish they still made this model so I could buy it for my almost 2 year old.

Tough to tighten straps once child is in car seat.
We have had this for about 6 months and we can’t get the straps to tighten at all. I pull and pull and I still can fit my whole hand between the straps and my son’s chest. We have taken it out and reinstalled many times trying to figure it out and nothing works. The tightening strap works fine without a child in it. We even tried putting a wood board underneath in hopes it would slide better, but that didn’t work either. If you have a fix please let me know because we have stopped using this car seat since we can’t get the straps tight enough making it unsafe. We love our other Graco Extend to fit which is easy to use but this one has just been a pain.
