Once your child outgrows her rear-facing infant car seat, she's still required ride in a car seat or a booster for several more years to come. So rather than investing in a succession of seats and boosters, try the Graco Nautilus 3-in 1 Toddler Car Seat, the only forward-facing car seat your child will need. Its five-point harness accommodates children up to 65 pounds, and its convertible booster/backless booster can hold children up to 100 pounds in weight--longer than most other convertible car seats.

The Graco Nautilus 3-in 1 Toddler Car Seat (Matrix) offers: Forward-facing car seat can accommodate children up to 65 pounds. Conversion to back booster and backless booster for accommodating children up to 100 pounds. Meets or exceeds US safety standards. Integrated cup holder and side storage.

By removing the back, the Nautilus will accompany a child up to 100 pounds.

Versatile, Convertible Design Lasts through Early Childhood
The Nautilus features an extended five-point harness design that can accommodate children over the age of one, from 20 to 65 pounds in weight--a wider range than most other forward-facing car seats. As your child grows, the seat easily converts to a high-back booster and then, lastly, to a backless booster for a child up to 100 pounds in weight. A steel-reinforced frame and superior construction help to ensure safety and durability through years of use.

Built for Comfort and Superior Safety
You can rest assured that your child will have superior protection while riding in the Nautilus, thanks to extensive crash testing and a steel-reinforced structure. The car seat meets or exceeds US Safety Standards, including U.S. Compliance Standard FMVSS 213; the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), with peak Crash Force approximately twice the Car Seat Standard; and tests for Extreme Car Interior Temperatures. EPS energy-absorbing foam provides additional security and comfort.

As well as being secure and safe, your child will feel extra-comfy, too, with an easily adjustable head support, cushioned seat, and wide armrests; a cup holder and side storage keeps snacks and treasures close at hand.

About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

Rating: - I would recommend this car seat to others
We really like this car seat. It was easy to put together and install. The thing I like best about it is that our daughter's head does not seem to flop forward when she is sleeping as much as in other car seats. It seems to be well constructed and attractive. I would recommend it.

Rating: - Safety and convenience in one!
I LOVE this booster seat! It is extremely well built and safe. My child looks very comfortable in it. She can sleep easily in it as well. The built in cup holder is definitely a plus...we had another seat with a detachable one and it collapsed every time my daughter tried to put her sippy into it. I love how the seat adjusts to fit your child for years to come. The five point harness can be used up to 65lbs for added safety as well. The straps are very easy to buckle and adjust, and are also ... Read More

Rating: - Comfortable for kid, but very difficult to assemble
I bought this at a local store because it looked sturdy and well-built. When I took it home, alas, it was a royal pain in the neck to put together! I'm using the with-harness option, and adjusting the harness height and the crotch position was a true exercise in total frustration. The manual is poorly written and the drawings not helpful.

My toddler seems comfortable in the seat, and it has a cupholder and two small storage compartments. Problems with this made-in-China product have come ... Read More

Rating: - great seat, awful cover
I've had this seat for about 6 months, and in general I think it's a nice seat and a good value. However, today I had to remove the cover after my child was sick in her seat, and discovered the seat's major drawback- the cover is extremely difficult to remove. I haven't put it back on yet, but I imagine that will be worse. First of all, you have to uninstall the seat from the car in order to get the cover off, which is a huge pain. In every other seat I've owned, you can just pull the cover off to ... Read More

Rating: - Fantastic seat for the price!
These are a terrific and affordable alternative to belt-positioners for those who would like to extend the time their kids remain in a 5-point restraint.

I bought a pair of these seats for my 3-year old twins who are getting too tall for their convertible seats but aren't yet mature enough for a belt-postioning booster. My order shipped immediately and arrived the next business day.

The seats are a pretty silver and black, not the drab gray I was expecting. They are fresh ... Read More
