Great harness booster for kids
Great harness for young kids, my oldest is able to wear a seatbelt with it but I prefer the harness for the extra safety but she still feels like a "big kid" in it compared to her convertible car seat. Easy to install and works great, will be buying another for my next two kids when the time comes.

Highly recommend this car seat.
I am very happy with this car seat. It’s very easy to install (within minutes) and once installed it doesn’t move at all, which was my main concern with other car seats. The build quality and the quality of fabric (cushion) is really good and feels comfortable for the child. Overall, it’s a great car seat. Would recommend to anyone interested.

This car seat is a game changer!
Not surprising that this seat is amazing. Of course the goal is to keep a child safely in a seat as long as possible but my son was starting to get uncomfortable in his last seat due to the straps being too snug near his neck. This was a game changer! The feature that is widens as it adjusts upwards was by far the selling point for us. My son is also autistic and keeping him restrained in a harness as long as possible is very important to us. I will recommend this car seat to anyone that is in the market for an upgrade. I’m excited to get more years of use out of this one! It installs easily and comes apart easily to wash.

Nice seat
I'm liking the seat so far. Have had it for a little over a month. Though quite heavy (compared to something like the Cosco finale), install is very easy and I like the added locking feature. An added plus is how smooth and easy to loosen and tighten the harness. Prior we had the Extend 2 Fit and it was so difficult to tighten, we kept the harness in its tightened position at all times.

I really wanted to love it
When I first saw it, I really liked it. But as I installed it a realized how squeaky it is! I just feel like the sides could break off. That is the feature that makes it grow. But honestly, I don't feel like this booster is safe because of this. Everything else on this is perfect. Wish I didn't have to return! But I just don't feel like it is safe enough for my child.

Excellent Seat. Easy to install!
I absolutely love this seat. It was so easy to install and is incredibly secure. The hardest thing was getting the cup holders in (you have to press until you hear a little click). I have a smaller car and it was easier to get a slight recline in the seat with this than my previous seat - which is great so when my child falls asleep in the car his chin isn’t hitting his chest. It’s also sleek and kind of cool looking. My kid thinks it’s awesome and is impressed that it “evolves into a booster seat” (we are very into Pokémon at the moment so evolving is a big deal haha)

So comfy
I received this through Stellar Product testing panel. My daughter is 3 and she was pretty thrilled for the new car seat! The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it was, especially compared to others I have had for my children throughout the years. I love being able to adjust it as my child grows and intend to use the booster soon. It was very easy to install and is a little bulky but fits just fine in my SUV. I am very happy with this car seat and so is my little one!

Easy seat to install but has issues
I bought this seat for my 5 year old daughter to use as a harnessed booster and then transition to a seat belt. Install is an absolute breeze which I love! I have 2 big issues with this seat:
1. It squeaks! The sides which have styrofoam make a horrible noise of styrofoam rubbing together when my child is in it or if we are on a bumpy road. It’s so loud!
2. My daughter swears like crazy in this car seat! I will take her out of it after a short car ride and her back is soaking wet from sweat. The material of the seat is just hot and makes my daughter uncomfortable.
With these 2 reasons alone I have decided to return the car seat and find something else.

Quick Install
East to install. Love that it has the option to use a latch or the snug lock.
The profile (depth) is slimmer that our previous model so my 3 year old can get in easily on her own.

Great carseat with plenty of longevity
I have used and been a fan of a number of Graco car seat products, so I was excited to try this one. I received it as part of the Stellar Panel Product Testing, but all my previous seats and strollers were purchased. The seat was easy enough to install once I found the latch straps (I struggled to locate them at first), and it seems like we'll be able to switch it over to seatbelt install pretty soon when kiddo gets close to 45lbs. The adjustable headrest and backrest are really comfortable according to my daughter, and I love that we'll be able to use this seat as a booster seat in a couple years too. I'm pleased to say we like this one as much as our Graco Extend2Fit and maybe even more.

Comfy and easy to install and well built
The car seat is really well made and not as big and bulky as I thought it would be. I love the material and the color scheme on it. All of the mechanisms are easy to use and the instructions are straight forward. I love how it can be fully extended straight for easy storage.
We did try to install it in our car and the installation was very easy, with the locking mechanism being strong and straight forward. I had my son sit in the car seat and he loved the comfort of it. One caveat, although we were able to test install it, the seat didn’t bode well with the back part of our vehicle’s seat. I think the car’s bucket style seat aren’t great for this car seat.
Although we can’t fully utilize it, the rest of the package is great. The Graco brand is trust worthy and I recommend this product.
I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

4 Year Old Can Buckle Himself
I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I am a mom of a 7 year old, 4 year old, and 10 month old. I decided to use this seat for my 4 year old, and he loves it! He especially loves that this is the first seat he has ever been able to buckle all by himself. We took him in this car seat for a long car ride and he felt sufficiently comfortable. I installed the seat using the Latch system and was impressed by the ease of installation. Unlike other carseats that we have used, this one widens at the back as you expand the headrest upward. I feel confident that we will continue using this beyond the forward facing harness mode and into the high back and backless booster modes.

Good harnessed booster seat
I have purchased many Graco seats. I bought this one for my 3 year old grandson. I love the snuglock feature. The only thing I do not like about this version Nautilus is the headwings are not as large as the original or appears not to be. My grandson tends to fall forward when sleeping. I had to recline all the way and put headrest harness straps right at the shoulders. Great seat otherwise.

My daughter loves it
Dang! This carseat is so nice and CUTE! It's sturdy and sleek with room to grow all the way to when my daughter is in just a booter seat. The fabric is soft, well made and I know it will last for years to come. I love that my four year old can climb on in by herself. It makes her feel more independent, like a big girl. She LOVES her new car seat. She loves her arm rests and the fact that she can reach her cup holders. She said she's really cozy in her new seat and I was able to adjust the head rest and back rest to fit her petite little frame. I love that the five point harness is so easy to buckle together and tighten as well as un-buckling and loosening. I think my favorite feature though, as silly as this is is that the cup holders are easy to remove and CLEAN! I also love that this seat has gone through rigorous crash tests to make sure safety is top priority.
My husband took out our daughter's other forward facing carseat and swapped it for this one. He didn't have any problems installing as the instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The latch is so easy to click in and tighten and we have confidence that our sweet girl is safe. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat that we will have for years of to and from school, and many road trip memories!

Excellent seat that was very easy to install
I received this product to test out through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
I've been through a few car seats with my children and this one is my favorite by far. It was very quick and easy to set up for my kid - adjusting the headrest and tilt were smooth. Installing in my car (Acura MDX suv) was painless. I tried two different setups - latch tether with seatbelt, and the full latch setup. Both were sufficient, though I did get it tighter with the full latch setup - adjusting and tightening seemed to take less effort than some other seats I've installed. I usually break a sweat trying to get the latch straps tight but not this time! As with all car seats I've tried, I could never get it perfectly tight with leather seats - they always slide around a little, and this seat is no exception. Being able to quickly uninstall and reinstall this seat is huge because I don't transport my kids daily - I had left some of the old seats in all the time because they were such a hassle to install - this will be in and out more often so I can actually use my backseat.
This seat was definitely a bit cushier than my previous seat - my son seemed happy. It did come with a little pad to go over the buckle that seemed like an awesome idea... But it fell off almost every time I used it. Cup holders are large enough and well integrated - they are also on tightly and won't come flying off like on some previous seats!
My favorite feature is that this will be the last car seat I have to buy - it easily transitions to a booster to grow with the child, which is incredible. It's well worth the money to know that I won't have to go car seat shopping again! All in all a great product - five stars!

Great seat but plan on a thorough installation
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving us this car seat for free! First, this car seat is SOLID. I have no doubt that it is safe and will withstand kids of all sizes climbing into, out of, and over it. Second, this is not an intuitive installation process. I needed the instruction manual for every step of the way, which is not typical for most of the car seats I've had. Thankfully, the manual was very thorough. We used the latch for this stage of our kiddo's life. Some features that I love: removeable cup holders (my kiddo was so excited that there are TWO) that make thorough cleaning waaaay easier (again, these were not easy to click in - the fabric of the seat kept getting in the way. After they were in, they seemed very solid and immoveable); the sides that expand out as the head rest raises, making room for growing shoulders; the loop at the end of the tightening strap - this made it very easy to tighten the car seat to a safe tension. We are really enjoying our free car seat from Stellar, just plan on installation with the manual close at hand!

Great option for forward facing booster seat
Quick summery: I found it a bit confusing to install at first. But once I figured it out I was really happy and impressed with the quality and features. I would 100% recommended this Graco Nautilus if you’re looking for a forward facing/ booster seat.
Full review: My first impression out of the box, was that this is a well made car seat and not flimsy at all. If installed correctly, I have no doubts that this will keep my kids safe.
I consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to installing car seats but I was struggling with this one. Two things that was difficult for me. 1. Attaching the back of the seat to the bottom part where they sit…. (because it comes as two pieces) and I can’t really explain what I did. It eventually clicked into place.
2. It has a new technology called “snug-lock” that I wasn’t used installing this way.
I will give pointers on how to install with latch. See photos for reference.
The latch pieces are in a compartment on bottom back of seat. When you take it out you have to move the back seat fabric and thread it through the two holes on each side. (See photo) When you click the latch into the two car parts, open the “snug-lock” compartment and put the latch strap inside and close it. This makes the install tighter. (Make sure to put the latch strap under the straps that goes on the kids shoulders when threading it through)
After it’s installed it’s pretty straightforward. We used it for my 3 year old and 4 year olds in car seat mode. Then tested it with them and my 6 and 8 year olds in booster mode. They all seemed very comfortable because the sides get wider when you lift the head rest so it’s an appropriate size for each kid. I love that I can just pick up the head rest to be able to change the seat size between all the kids so they can all change spots in the car without re installing.
The fabric is soft and sleek. It’s pretty narrow and I was able to fit another narrow “no back booster” seat next to it. The two removable cup holders are KEY! Easy to remove and clean.
Keep in mind this doesn’t rear face at all, so if you’re coming from an infant car seat make sure your kid is old enough to sit forward. Otherwise you need to get a convertible car seat instead. If they’re ready for forward than this is a GREAT option because it can even be a booster!
I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Perfect
I have been using the Graco Nautilus Snuglock 3 in 1 carseat with both my 3 year old and my 6 year old. They both fit beautifully in this seat. While adjusting the headrest the seat also widens to accommodate your growing child. I think that feature is truly amazing. Installing the carseat was simple. It took me less than 1 minute thanks to the Snuglock feature. It is so much easier than other seats that I have used in the past, and it makes me highly consider replacing all my other seats with a Graco Snuglock seat. On our very first trip with this carseat my daughter unfortunately had a accident but the seat cover was so easy to remove. I love the little snaps that hold the cover in place and how convenient Graco makes it for busy parents like myself to clean up their child's messes. The cover also came completely clean in the wash, and looks brand new again! The removable cup holders are a excellent feature as well. We are using this carseat in both a minivan and a small sedan and it fits great in both. I am beyond happy with the Graco Nautilus Snuglock 3 in 1 carseat and would recommend it to anyone looking for a 3 in 1 harnessed booster for their child. Thanks so much to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me the opportunity to try out the Graco Nautilus Snuglock 3 in 1 carseat! We love it!

Great car seat that will grow with my kid
This car seat is amazing and has everything you's want in a 3-in-1 car seat. I've got 2 kiddos and have used 3-4 different car seat types over the years (from infant car seats up to boosters) and this by far my most favorite one. The LATCH system on this car seat made this quick and easy to install. Within 20 minutes of taking it out of the box I had it installed in our vehicle. My 3 year old absolutely loves this car seat and can't wait to get in it every time we go somewhere. The padding is great, and he's never once complained about about it not being comfortable. The included pads on the shoulders and groin area are a subtle, but amazing touch. There is very little exposed metal pieces so I don't have to worry about any parts of the car seat getting too hot on warm days. I love that the headrest and backrest can expand and will grow with my kid and I don't have to worry about it ever being too small as he gets older and bigger. The only negative thing about this car seat is that its pretty heavy, so some people may run into issues if they needed to constantly move it from one vehicle to another. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

Wow Now this is a sturdy Booster
This is a very sturdy and stable booster seat. It really does grow, I think a small adult could fit in this if needed, but my 4 year old fits snug and secure. Easy to put in the car, easy to take out. This booster really exceeded my expectations. I received this as a part of a consumer panel but I would gladly purchase this item many times over.

A car seat perfect for many years
My child is 6 yo on the smaller end and I am not ready to move on from 5 point harness to booster mode yet. This Graco car seat is great size to accommodate older kids in 5 point harness. I am expecting another year at least before moving to booster mode. The Graco car seat has a sleek design and is not bulky at all. The seat is not as high as traditional convertible front facing car seats and sits right on the seating of the car. This makes it a lot easier for my child to climb on and sit himself. When ready, we will use it as a booster seat with backrest and then can move on to backless booster mode. No more spending money for new car seat as my child grows. This car seat will cover us all the way to preteen years…
It was very easy to put it together coming out of the box. It was equally easy to install as well- I used the seat belt with the snug-lock feature. The snug-lock technology is so well worth it. I loved how easy it made the install!
The car seat feels heavy and very solid. The backrest and headrest are both easy to adjust to the comfort and height of your child.
Overall I feel safe using this Graco car seat for my most precious cargo … My child also noted that it feel comfortable to sit on.

Great car seat
I received this car seat through the Stellar Product testing panel. I loved so many things about it. First, it came already put together in the box. What?! It made it so easy to just lift out and put in the car. It latched very easily as well. The quality is amazing. You can tell by lifting it just how great the quality is. I love that it grows with the child and go from a harness seat to a belt booster to a backless booster. I personally prefer the 3 in 1’s so I don’t have to keep buying seats. The padding is super comfortable and my daughter loved sitting in this for the first time. She said ohhh this is nice. She also pointed out to me how much she loves the cup holders and how they have 2 of them. I would highly recommend this car seat to anyone looking for one.

Nice and functional
I’m a mom of 6 and we’re always on the go and we find ourselves frequently swapping out car seats for one reason or another. Initially I took one look at the box and I thought “That’s a huge car seat!”. I pulled it out of the box and all I had to do was fold the backrest up and pop the cup holders in. The fabric was snug though so I had to have my husband pull it out of the way while I lifted the backrest into place. I personally thought this seat was really heavy but I’m also fairly petite. I used the seat belt to install this car seat and it took a few tries to get the SnugLock to click, which was frustrating, but I eventually heard a click. I really like the neutral look of this seat. I used this seat in the 5 point harness mode. The fabric is nice but while strapping my son in, my wedding ring kept snagging and created pulls on the side so I’m not confident the fabric will remain durable enough for my little ones. My favorite thing was the fact that the backrest became wider as the headrest was raised, I’ve never seen that on another car seat before! Honestly that’s always been a complaint from my kids that it’s just too small for their shoulders so this has become a super important feature to me. The strap covers are really soft and have a ton of padding which is great for being in constant contact with my child’s neck. I will say that the bulky padding is a bit much on the crotch strap though but my son didn’t seem to mind it. I was able to tighten and loosen the straps with ease, seriously it was as smooth as butter and the button was easily accessible even with my long fingernails. My son was definitely comfortable and relaxed in this seat and while I found there to be a few minor flaws I would still definitely recommend this seat to others. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat!

A carseat for years to come
There are several things I like about this carseat;
-INSTALLATION. I love how easy was to installed, seriously, it takes less than a minute, and once I did, the carseat feels secured and solid.
-SLIM PROFILE. I really like the slim profile of this carseat, It uses one seat and leaves enough room for passengers in my backseat that can be seated comfortably.
-FIVE POINT HARNESS. My little guy is a 4 years old and about 44 inches tall with a weight of 40 lbs. I have the option to either buckle him using the car’s seatbelt or the five point harness, I chose the latter one because even though he is tall for his age, he still a four year old. As a mom of a tall kid, I appreciate that Graco thought about this engineering this carseat.
The five point harness is easy to unbuckle, adjust and doesn’t entangle. I use the arm rests to hold the harness while my little one gets on his carseat and once he does I buckle him in a heartbeat , the harness mechanism is really smooth and glides easily. I don’t have to fight with twisted harness or fight against a buckle stuck like I had experienced with other carseats in the past.
HEADREST AND BACKREST. Love the feature of being able
to rise the headrest with the push of a button and without removing the carseat. The idea that the backrest widens as the headrest rises is genius. My son will seat comfortably for years to come with plenty of room.
The shape of the headrest is well done is not only wide enough but has enough rooms on the side for my sons head to rest comfortably if he falls asleep.
-COMFORTABLE. My little one loves his carseat! He says is really “comfy”. The seat is padded, same as the headrest.
-CUPHOLDERS AND ARMREST. Has two cupholders that are easy to removed and clean. The armrest are padded too. My son loves having his own armrest and cupholders. He immediately claimed ownership of his two cup holders for his toys and bottle and for whatever he wishes to use it for.
-FABRIC/COLORS. The carseat has one option of color named Franco, it’s a mix of Black and gray tones and I like how it looks in my car.
We haven’t need to clean the carseat but seems like the fabric is easy to clean and easily removed if needed it.
-FORWARD FACING/HIGHBACK BOOSTER/BACKLESS BOOSTER.
Forward-facing harness (22-65 lb) to highback booster (40-100 lb) to backless booster (40-120 lb).
-INSTRUCTION BOOKLET. The Instruction booklet is thorough and informative and comes in English and in Spanish.
Knowing that you have a carseat that you could use for several years without having to buy a separate booster seat when he gets older, is a relief. Keep in mind this carseat can only be used forward facing, but once you get a little used to it you can use it easily, this is the only carseat you will need!
Overall, this is a great carseat. The Snuglock technology to install the carseat is easy and stress free. The whole harness system is easy to adjust, without a problem in any ride. My little one travels secured and he is enjoying his new ride.
We received the Graco Nautilus SnugLock Grow 3-in-1 Forward-Facing Harness Booster, carseat, through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! We are very pleased with the performance of the carseat.
I highly recommend it.

Graco Nautilus Booster Review
I recently received the Graco® Nautilus® SnugLock® Grow™ 3-in-1 Forward-Facing Harness Booster in Franco Fashion (black). I got it as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When it arrived, I appreciated how well it was packaged. There was no damage to the booster in shipping, and yet there were not that many packing materials inside. It was very easy to unbox and set up.
It was very easy to set up in the car and only took a few minutes. The seat is designed to grow with your kid, so the first and second option are quite big in the back of your car. The second option is a high back booster, which is especially large. Once your child gets big enough, it converts to a more conventional style booster seat, which is nice because it is much smaller. Still the seat easily switches from one functionality to another and it is handy because it grows with the child and you don’t have to buy two new car seats.
On the whole, this is the type of product you would expect from Graco. It is reliable, durable, pretty user friendly, and safe. I’m not personally thrilled about the color or texture of the fabric, but my child doesn’t mind it. It’s also nice that it is easy to wash. I would have no problem buying another one of these for our younger child or recommending it to another parent.

Easy to Install and Comfortable
Mother of a 5 and 2 year old and we are on the road often shuffling to sports activities, running errands and exploring the city. Typically the car seats are in my vehicle, but on the rare occasion that we need my husband to take a kiddo with him or I need to use his vehicle, it is a MUST that we have something easy to transport and install quickly.
The first thing I noticed about this car seat is how surprised I was at the package! It was shipped in a much smaller box than I’m used to seeing car seats (after purchase it would easily fit into any car in the box) and the weight of the box made it easy to bring into the house after it arrived.
The instructions were very clear and straight forward and i had it out of the box and set up in no time. The latch feature is not only easy to use, but the ability to tighten the seatbelt as far as my strength would allow and then clicking it closed made the seat so secure. Even with the wiggle check.
The buckle and tightening of the 5 point harness was smooth, straps not easily tangled and adjustment was very easy between my two children. I love how slim the carseat is which would allow for the car seats to comfortably fit next to one another if necessary and the bonus for my kiddos was the easily accessible cup holders on each side (my kids use opposite dominant hands)
The fabric seems quite durable, easy to clean and manage and breathable which is important for us during warm months. My children were both comfortable for the rides which helped show that each new age and transition with the carseat will happen with ease. I would recommend this carseat for day to day use, especially for those who may need to transfer car seats often. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat!
