I would love this for my daughter !!
My daughter loves this seat, glad to see these updates!
We own two of the older models and both are expiring in December! I would love to update ours with the new model!
Love the new updates!
I would love to put my almost ready to ff little one in this seat! It would really and truly be our last seat and boy would it be nice to have her be so comfy and safe!
Here I thought I was in love with the Nautilus seats I’ve seen before now. Lol.
We love our current Nautilus and would love another one for our other son to grow in to!
Love the Nautilus that we bought for my daughter and these new changes just make it sound even better than before! 10 year life span, no fuss harness, yes please!!
I love seatbelt lockoffs. They are the easiest way for me to install seats.
Love the color scheme and the built in cup holders! Also the fact that it was a 10 year expiration is AWESOME!
These look like amazing seats. I cant wait to get one for both my kids. 🙂
No rethread!
10 year expiration and no thread harness!
I have been a fan and user of Graco since the birth of my first son 14 years ago. We are hoping for another little one soon, and I think the Nautilus would be a great fit for many years.
No retread harness is a winner!
My favorite feature about the new Graco Nautilus is the no-thread harness! It is so much easier to adjust the harness that way that having to take them all off and then on again.
Love the 10 yr life span
Great updates, Graco! No rethread harness makes it so nice!!!
I’m guessing that the Argos is going to be discontinued? Since the no-rethread harness was the big difference between the Nautilus and Argos 65.
This would be perfect for my 2.5 year old.
I love the new colors!! The lock off is always a plus 🙂
Loving all the new features!
Love the no-rethread!
Oh my gosh. The purple color 🙂
Oh and the more important 10 year life span and no rethred harnesses.
Love this seat!
