The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 car seat is the answer to parents’ prayers, in that it is a convertible car seat/booster that can be used for many years, holding a youngster up to 100 pounds (the longest use and largest capacity of any child’s car seat).
The five-point harness accommodates any child except those under the age of one, and its steel reinforced frame and safety features make it a superior product for automotive and child safety.
The seat always undergoes extensive crash testing and extreme temperature tests, and its EPS energy-absorbing foam keeps the child comfortable and secure during any journey.

Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat – Negative Reviews
Out of over 1000 Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 car seat reviews, less than 6% of reviewers had negative comments. Most of these followed the theme of the difficulty of strapping the device in, the relatively small (12.5 inch) seat compared to other 17 inch models and the 2 crotch straps (some models have three, which means the child must, when older, sit on a strap). These crotch straps are strongly criticized for being too close together, especially for a seat for a growing child.
However, the most common complaint is the hard-to-connect buckle. Small and difficult to maneuver, the buckle seems the main “bone” of contention in the Graco nautilus 3-in-1 multi-use car seat reviews.
The upshot of all this is that customers rate this with several competitive models to show lack of satisfaction: it’s far better than Evenflo, say some, but not as good as a Britax Frontier.
Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat – Positive Reviews
Many reviewers wrote notices of unstinting praise for the Graco, commenting on its price (cut from $189.99 to $137.98) as a bargain, its bulky sturdiness (more about that in a moment), its EPS “memory foam” (many parents report happy sleeping stories while journeying with their children), and its versatility in creating a seat for a child up to 7 years of age and 100 pounds weight. That last point alone was the deal clincher for most positive purchasers.
Further reviewers cite its suitability for older children (a market that isn’t fully developed by child-seat manufacturers), its facing-forward ability (not always available for seats for younger children), and its safety features. Most positive reviews rated it a superior product, in particular in the solidity of the design; while most note that it is too bulky to move from car to car, that is a plus for some in overall child safety.
Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat – Conclusion
Despite numerous complaints about a single point (the crotch straps), the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 car seat seems to have won many parents over, and they are buying it primarily as a second seat for an already growing youngster, citing its excellent design, build and bargain price as the three greatest positives towards a successful purchase. The bargain price is another factor that reviewers consider strongly in its favor.
Since we are not prepared to disagree with success, we therefore highly recommend the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 multi-use car seat as a long lasting, versatile child’s seat, good for many years’ use.
