 We bought Two! March 11, 2008

I too am wondering why the price is so expensive on here, compared to Walmart (where we bought ours). The only thing I can think of is that this carseat is so high in demand, and sold out at many places, that they are selling it from a company with a really high price. I would definately wait until the price goes down to get this seat. That said, this carseat is absolutely the best one yet. I origally wanted to buy one for my three year old nephew (who I care for) because his seat was getting outdated. Instead, I ended up buying two of these, one for him and one for his 5 year old sister. She was already in a plain booster seat, but I decided to buy this so she can be in a harness longer. Now, she should fit with the harness until she is at least 7, which is a whole lot safer. She actually doesn't mind being back in a carseat, because this seat is so cool, with it's cup holder and two "secret treasure holders." I also love the buckle (which I can open with one hand) compared to my nephew's old system. It is also easier for my neice to buckle the harness then to buckle herself into her booster seat using the car seat belt. So much faster! Another bonus, this carseat is also safe for one year olds on up. I do home daycare and occasionally have different kids using the seats. This carseat has straps that are the absolute easiest to adjust. It litterally takes seconds. I origally thought the price of $150 was high (and that was when I was planning on buying just one!), but it truly is the last carseat you will need to buy. It is a fantasic carseat and soo worth the price. There are probably more expensive carseats that aren't as nice. And for the added piece of mind of having them in a harness longer, priceless.
Great carseat! April 8, 2008

I love this carseat so much, I'm going to purchase another one for our other car! I was having a hard time finding a carseat that was high-weight on the 5-point harness that didn't cost a ton of $$. My kid is a car sleeper, so good head support was a must (this is an issue with my other carseat now).
It has great head support for when he falls asleep, nice deep, wide cupholder, and is the most secure fit I've gotten in any of my carseats so far! My 30-month, 30-pound son is very comfy, and it's super easy to adjust around his clothing, etc. NOTE: I don't recommend putting it together in a parking lot at 11PM in winter, as it takes some time to assemble and is hard to do with cold fingers :)
 Graco Nautilus is no Britax April 21, 2008

I just purchased the Graco Nautilus from BRU. It is a nice seat, especially for the $149.99 price, but it's no Britax. I bought this seat to replace my Britax Roundabout for my 3 1/2 year-old. She likes it, but the quality isn't as good as a Britax - and the idea behind this seat was to have it be "the last carseat I ever have to buy" - that would mean that this carseat will have to last 2-3 more years. The padding isn't that plush and I am concerned that it will break down over time. The latches are not easy to open with one hand, like the Britax. I am using it now, but I suspect that I may be returning it for a Britax Frontier.
All around good car seat March 18, 2008

This car seat is very well designed.
1. Good for tall kids.
2. The straps are on rollers, so that they are easy to tighten.
3. Straps are easy to tighten because of a loop design at the end.
4. The release buckle is easy to undo (Might be a con for some)
5. Cup holder on one side and storage compartment on the other side.
6. Very comfortable.
7. Not too big and not too heavy.
8. Nice click sound to make sure the straps have latched.
The only negative so far:
1. The straps tend to get twisted about 1 in 10 times.
The Most Amazing Car Seat...EVER!!! April 21, 2008

I was involved in a car accident, and my insurance company required me to buy a new car seat for my 20 month-old daughter. I wanted something that would last her several years, and came upon this seat quite by accident. It's GREAT! The instructions were a little bit confusing..a very small price to pay because as soon as you get it put together you are so psyched. All height/strap adjustments are easy to make, and this thing will last until my daughter is old/big enough to not need a car seat anymore. An amazing value for the money. Britax should be ashamed of themselves. Anyone who goes for a more expensive seat is crazy!
