Baby Products Reviews of Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat, Matrix
Customer Review: Works Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this carseat a couple of months ago and it does its job :) I have an Eddie Bauer one as well, so I have to say compared to that one it's bulkier/material's not as soft/straps and the buckle aren't as "comfortable" as the Eddie Bauer one, but it works great! My son looks happy and comfortable in it, kids aren't usually as picky as we adults are about those kinds of things LOL I'm glad I bought it, great size, great price, love the cup holder! Customer Review: Nice seat
Summary: 4 Stars
We have two Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 seats now. Overall they are great seats, especially if you can get them on sale. In my mind, they're the best seat for your money (that's why we have two!).
Pros:
They appear to be very sturdily built, thankfully we haven't had to test major structural integrity. There are metal(!) supports running up the back of the seat and this at least makes me feel better than an all plastic seat regardless of the actual engineering that may have gone into either product. Our 3.5 year old has been using hers for about 2 years and no real complaints so far. I really like the buckles on the Graco seats. Easy enough for parents to buckle and unbuckle without pinching the kids, but not too easy for the kids to unbuckle. Materials are mostly (see below) in-tact and there is no wear noticeable on the fabric or other parts. No complaints from our daughter about comfort. The seat has a cupholder for storing acorns, kleenex, sunglasses, rocks, and apparently cups. Two cubbies under the armrests are not really accessible to mom and dad, but our daughter likes to keep things there.
Cons:
This seat was a bit difficult to install in my car - BUT is probably comparable to other seats out there (I don't have much experience in this area). I'm also pretty anal, so I spent some extra making sure everything was really tight, square, level, etc. It is definitely not a seat you will want to take in and out when you go to the hardware store to pick up lumber. Again, this is probably the case for most seats like this. One of the armrests has a tear in the rubber/plastic layer that covers the surface. We're not sure how this happened, but it appears to be only a cosmetic issue now. The storage clip for the instructions is conveniently located on the back of the seat. After you are finished using the instructions for installation, you will already have them on hand for removal so that you can access the storage clip to stow the instructions. (We tend to keep the instructions in the glove box.) There are big patches on the seat and shoulder strap that say things like UP TO 60LBS. These aren't removable and are just plain ugly. They weren't on our other Nautilus seat (different style, same seat). I guess we will at least remember when to switch from seat to booster.
Again, I think this is an excellent seat. I would buy another one if I needed another car seat.
Customer Review: Awesome Buy!!

Definitely recommend this car seat. Bought this for my 3 year old and passed his car seat onto his brother. Love it! My son loves how comfortable it is and the cup holder. I love that it is so easy to adjust the straps when needed. Also love how much longer he can use this seat in a 5 point harness as opposed to the other ones on the market.

A good deal, nice make, outstanding quality but it is fastened/held but a car belt only in my Toy Sienna 02'. There is no way how fix it on the second row of back seats other than that. This is disappointing thing.
