 Show 3.0 out of 5 stars Seat was manufactured in 2017 I want to start by saying I absolutely love this set.What I was unhappy about is the fact that I ordered this seat in May of 2019 and the seat I received had been manufactured in 2017.Since seats have expiation dates that are based off the manufactured date and not the date you bought the seat it was very upsetting to have received a seat that was already two years old meaning that was two years less that I could use it.

Please try again later.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2017 I bought this item to replace a previous Graco toddler (forward or rear facing) car seat for my 2 1/2 year old daughter that had expired. Here's my thoughts: 1. The seat comes packaged with the seat unlatched from the base, so the package is quite large. Latching the seat back to the base, however, was easy to accomplish using the provided instructions. No real issue, just be aware you're going to have a very large (roughly 4-5ft tall) package sitting on your doorstep. 2. Seat padding/cushioning is very good. Instead of a small insert (like many similar seats), the padding is a single large piece that runs all the way from the front of the bottom base of the seat about half way up the back, very nice and comfortable (frankly probably more comfortable than my seat). Note, this is in addition to the overall cover on the base (seat). So, while in either harness or booster with back modes, your child will have some seriously comfortable seating. 3. Recline is advertised as a three position recline. My take, "eh". It does in fact have the three positions described but recline is VERY limited. I measure roughly a couple of inches. It is sufficient to ensure that the base is parallel with your seat and properly installed, but insufficient to truly permit "reclining" in the seat. 4. Some reviewers have noted the difficulty in adjusting the upper harness length. I can see where this could be an issue if the headrest is in it's lowest, locked position. To address, simply adjusted the headrest/protection upwards by a notch which provides plenty of slack/gap for the two straps in question. This allowed me to easily adjust the length of the harness (easiest is to leave the harness upper buckle - the plastic one - buckled so you can pull downwards and outwards on the harness while holding the button under the white front buckle cap). I noted that it does take a little effort, but easily accomplished once the headrest is moved upwards. 5. There are two nice little "cubbies" located on the interior of each arm rest. 6. There are two elastic "pockets" that the pictured instructions indicate are for holding the metal buckles from the upper harness to keep them out of the way while seating your child. Nice idea, but I don't find it that effective. Still, kudos for the effort as this is a legitimate pain at times. Now, to some of my gripes - I needed to move the bottom seat buckle from the shipped position (there are three running from towards the rear of the base and running towards the front, corresponding to smaller to larger children) to the front most position (my little on is already in excess of 30 pounds of adorable cuteness). The instructions indicate to rotate the metal buckle sideways so as to permit it to pass through the slot, Hah!. This is EXTREMELY difficult (I dare to say darn near impossible, as I've had to do it to two of these seats and have the injuries to prove it). It took me the better part of an hour and a half to get the buckle through the slot (I twice inserted it backwards - which elicited several choice words), sustaining several cuts and one nasty blister on my hand in the process. Further, while there are three slots in the plastic base, the top padding insert only has two slots (there should be one corresponding to each of the three bottom slots in the underlying pad and base). There is very limited room to get your hand into the underside of the base to accomplish moving the buckle and strap through the base, the top harness strap covers the slots (so you need to loosen the upper harness pretty much all the way to be able to get under the strap and see the slots at all) and there are several sharpish edges and protrusions on the underside that are just perfect to lacerate your hand as you attempt the herculean effort of attempting to get the dratted buckle through the dratted slot (I'd like to condemn the designer to the depths of hades for failing to design something that maintains the safety required but does not require a couple of cuts, blisters and bandages to the adult attempting to follow the instructions). Gripe two - the seat features what would appear to be a very nice cup holder. It is nice, but only for smaller diameter bottles/cups. Shorter, more squat sized cups won't fit properly in the cup holder. It will, however, hold smaller diameter (and taller) cups with ease. This could have been improved by increasing the diameter of the holder. Overall, I give it a 4 rating due to the lack of recline, difficulty in adjusting the base buckle, and the small diameter cup holder. With some small design changes this seat could be a rockstar... Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2017 My wife spent some time shopping around for a new car seat/booster seat for our 4-year-old little boy (40lbs plus) this past summer and initially settled on the Chicco KidFit 2-in-1 Belt Positioning Booster based on a recommendation from a friend. Unfortunately, the Chicco Booster didn't work well for our cars and we ended up returning it for the Graco Nautilus 65 LX and we're glad we did! I'll go ahead and note that we're using this seat in "booster seat mode" if that makes sense. Basically, we wanted a substantial (read: safe) booster seat that offered the traditional protection of a car seat. The Nautilus is basically everything we wanted out of a booster and we liked it so much we ended up buying two seats, one for each of our cars! ------------------- ------------------- Tightening the Nautilus into the car just involves tightening the anchor points and the top mount strap. Again, another safety feature that anchors the top of the booster seat to the rear of our cars' seats. The net result is a booster seat that is rock solid and barely moves a millimeter. ------------------- The wife and I like that the materials in the seat are machine washable and easy to slip on and off. The headrest and side protection is super-easy to adjust with a quick button press and the entire component slides up and down. We also like the integrated seatbelt holder (red part along the right shoulder) that helps keep the shoulder strap of the seatbelt in an ideal position. Finally, grooves in the sides of the seat (red part along the waist) ensure that the waist strap is positioned properly. ------------------- Top reviews from other countries4.0 out of 5 stars Mi opinión sobre Graco Nautilus 65 LX Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on August 14, 2017 En general las sillas me parecen muy buenas, pero hay un detalle que pienso que deberían cuidar y es el hecho de que las sillas se reclinan muy poco y esto ocasiona que cuando los niños se duermen, la cabeza cuelga mucho al conducir por un camino cuesta abajo. Sería muy bueno tener algún arnés o alguna cinta acolchada que pudiera mantener la cabeza en posición para evitar que cuelgue. Gracias. 4.0 out of 5 stars Asiento económico y de calidad, lo recomiendo! Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on February 7, 2022 Es un buen asiento en función del costo - calidad de materiales y el cumplimiento de los estándares de seguridad, le doy cuatro estrellas dado que por diseño, los sujetadores laterales de la tela se desprenden con facilidad dado que no tiene algún Velcro o cintillo con que sujetar el extremo al cuerpo plástico del asiento, esto se debe a que los niños se mueven en el asiento y jalan la tela. 4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal pero no va a contra marcha Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on September 21, 2022
Me gustó mucho la seguridad que brinda, el espacio, el montaje, a mi bebé le encantó el compartimento para guardar sus juguetes y su vasito con agua, sin embargo, la tuvimos que devolver porque lamentablemente no va a contramarcha y mi bebé aún es muy peque para ir a favor, si no fuera por ese detalle nos la hubiéramos quedado es muy buen carseat y en relación con el precio, es excelente! La recomiendo mucho para toddlers y niños más grandes. 5.0 out of 5 stars Segura, fuerte y fácil de instalar. Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on November 11, 2021 Es la segunda Graco Nautilus que compro, son buenísimas para niños grandes. Ellos van cómodos y la silla es de muy buena calidad. Los límites de peso son altos, por lo que pueden ir con el arnés integrado mucho más tiempo, y tienen la ventaja de tener alma de metal, que alarga la vida útil (la fecha de caducidad es más amplia que con la mayoría de las otras sillas). 5.0 out of 5 stars Mejor de lo que esperaba Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on February 24, 2021 Esta silla es de las mejores que vi y más por el precio. Por alguna razón la compré en 3600 pesos aquí en Amazon, mientras que en otras tiendas puede costar hasta 8 mil, una verdadera ganga. La calidad de la silla es increíble, los materiales son de primera calidad, se siente sólida y lo mejor de todo, trae cualquier cantidad de seguros, por lo que puedes estar tranquilo de que tu hij@ estará a salvo y claro, súper cómodo. How do you convert a Graco Nautilus car seat to a high back booster?To convert the Nautilus from harnessed mode to high back mode, you first remove the harness from the splitter plate in the back, then pull the harness out at the shoulders. Protip: Buckle up the chest clip and crotch buckle.
Does the Graco Nautilus 65 turn into booster?The Graco® Nautilus® 65 3-in-1 harness booster car seat can be used from toddler to youth, keeping your growing child safe. It secures your child in a 5-point harness from 20-65 lb, converts to a highback booster from 40-100 lb, and becomes a backless booster seat from 40-100 lb.
