SnugLock for the WIN!
on January 19, 2019
Posted by: LeeLeeFox
I was so excited to receive this car seat as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel from WeeSpring. Out of the box it snapped together very easily and my daughter could not wait to try it out. Installation was straightforward, we watched the Graco installation video to make sure we did it right and used the LATCH system. It was so reassuring to know I can secure it tightly with the SnugLock feature! I love that the harness is so easy to adjust sizes without re-threading the buckles, because who has time for that? My daughter loves the two cup holders so she can have a water bottle and either a snack or toy close at hand. We adjusted the crotch buckle as well and it only took my husband two minutes as opposed to her older car seat that took me all day to figure out. Overall I am really excited to have a seat that is so easy to install and will grow with her, and she is really excited to have something that looks like a "big girl" seat so we are both happy.

So easy to install & adjust
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: Mbsmithplus4
I’ve had this booster for a few weeks and absolutely loving it! It’s easy to install and just as easy to adjust the harness! The extra padding with 5 point harness might be a small pain but honestly my daughter (3) doesn’t complain about the clicker between the legs poking her anymore in dresses so worth it! I tried all three different positions with my 3, 6 and 7 year old. The full seat isn’t too heavy as are most and the raves about the seat from all three girls were excellent, "comfy” was the biggest praise. Thanks to the Stellar project testing program for sending me a booster to test out!

Easy transition, lightweight, amazing features!
on January 20, 2019

I received this car seat for free, to review from the WeeSpring Parent Panel. This seat is hands down the best seat we’ve ever owned. The seat is lightweight, easy to transition, the cup holders are large, it’s easy to clean. As a parent to four children, 7 and under, this seat is a life saver! All four of our children can utilize this seat to fit their age and weight requirements within seconds. Our twins utilize the five point harness seat, our oldest daughter utilizes the high back booster, and our seven year old son uses the booster base. The easy access strap compartments are my favorite feature, there is no adjusting seats and being forced to remove the seat to transition to the five point harness straps. The straps tuck in a compartment for an easy quick transition. It’s the only seat you’ll need following your infant carrier! I wish we would have had this seat with our oldest two from the beginning, I’m so glad we have it now. Thank you WeeSpring and Graco!

Graco Nautilus Snuglock Is a Winner!
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: Alli_K
This car seat is a delight. I received the Graco Nautilus Snuglock 3-in-1 for free through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my candid review.
Installation was a piece of cake. The LATCH system plus anchor were simple and straight-forward to secure. Adjusting the harness to the right height for my 2 year old as well as tightening and loosening the straps once she's in the seat are SO much easier than all of the car seats we've used. My daughter complained about the straps in her old seat always being too tight and squeezing/touching her neck. I haven't heard a peep since we switched to the Graco Nautilus. She also loves the cup holders :)
I absolutely love the fact that the car seat will grow with her. My girls are peanuts so they'll need a seat/booster for a LONG time coming. It's nice to know we won't need to add yet another expensive seat to the collection.
All in all, two thumbs up!

Lifetime car seat

Review
Thank you to WeeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this booster seat. The Nautilus requires assembly in order to use it in the harness mode. 2 of my boys (7 and 5 yo) are in the harness mode. I personally found it difficult to put together. My husband was able to attach the back to the bottom after about 5 minutes of trial and error. It also required approximately 5-10 minutes of trial and error to dissemble. The seat is rather bulky which is a good feature to have for protecting little ones. It was difficult for me to maneuver being 3 weeks post partum and unable to lift.
Prior to assembly, one feature I found handy was the buckle storage on the booster portion of the seat. With multiple boys and multiple car seats, it’s handy to have built in storage so the buckles are not misplaced. Once assembled, my 5 yo sat in it with the extra padding and noted it was uncomfortable. We removed the padding and he felt it was much more comfortable. Adjusting the height was simple. The cup holders are roomy and able to hold a 16 oz reusable cup. The arm rests are non- functioning due to the angle. My 5 yo was unable to buckle or unbuckle himself with this harness. Many may find that beneficial to prevent “escaping”. I, however, need him to be independent because he is in the 3rd row of our SUV. My final concern is that this seat is made in China. I prefer American made products.
Overall, this is a functional seat with the ability to last the duration of your child’s car seat needs. It is a nice price point and it appears to be sturdy.

Good transitional booster
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: Mama2four
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we were able to test out this 3 in 1 booster. It comes out of the box basically ready, but it did take me a second to understand which way to flip it so the back clicked into the bottom. Once it was clicked in it is set up. I really liked that it came with a seat pad and awesome belt covers/pads because that makes a huge difference in keeping the car-seat/booster clean and comfy. I can’t keep my kids from eating (or getting sick!) in the car so it’s nice to be able to more easily clean the seat. The height and headrest is very easy to adjust. The latch system is easy to thread through the back of the seat because you can pull the middle of the seat down and see where it needs to go. However, the latch buckles themselves aren’t the easiest to click in. The seat is nice because it transitions and I like that with having multiple children. For me the con is that it isn’t the skinniest of seats so if you are strapped for space it may not be great. It has cup holders built in which are awesome unless you are trying to fit three seats across a back seat. Overall a good seat. Pretty fabric and nice looking. Easy to adjust and useful for more than one stage!

Great car-seat! Kids grow with it!
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: Benokm1
Overall this was a very nice car-seat. Exceeded my expectations as my opinion of Graco hasn't always been the most positive (not from personal experience but from others). I expected the car-seat to feel cheap and be difficult to install. Well, I was pleasantly surprised.
The build quality was phenomenal, right in line with other car seats I have purchased in the past. The latch system can be a bit annoying. I'd prefer the easy connect system that some other brands use. But the latch storage system in this is very neat. The back opens up and you can easily put the straps into the compartment. This will be absolutely amazing when the seat turns into a booster and the car-seat latch is no longer used.
The headrest is better than other car-seats we have used. It seems like many other car-seats cause the child's head to lean forward a bit. That was always kind of worrisome, especially when they were young as I felt it was restricting the child's airflow. This car-seat allowed my daughter's head to sit comfortably and more upright. She was visibly more comfortable in this car-seat which is always a plus. I feel like she could sit in this for a long car ride and not feel uncomfortable. The headrest is also very easy to adjust up and down. Just squeeze the lever on the top, adjust up or down, and bam, you are set.
Strapping a child into this car-seat is very simple. The pads around the 5 point lap buckle are a great feature that sets this seat apart from most. Other car-seats present the risk of pinching a child's leg when strapping them in. This seat has pads which prevents pinching and just adds to the overall comfort to the seat. No pinching of legs + more comfort = Happy child.
Overall it is pretty easy to install this car-seat into a car. Like I stated before, I'd prefer an easy connect system that auto tightens. It takes a bit to get this car-seat tight in the car. Had to put all my weight into the seat and pull pretty hard on the strap to get the seat tight enough to not slide around. This is pretty common for a lot of car-seats. For me, if it had an auto-tightening install system, this would have been an easy 5 star review.
Pros
Comfortable
Great headrest
Convenient latch storage system
2 cup holders

Comfy & Stylish
on January 21, 2019
Posted by: RyanKidsMama
This car seat keeps my 3 year old very comfortable and riding in style. I appreciate that it's well padded to keep my little guy cushioned and comfy. Installation was very quick and easy. Adjusting the head rest is very simple however, it did take me a few minutes to find the button to loosen the harness. Buckling and unbuckling the chest clip and bottom buckles could be a littler smoother. My little guys LOVES that there are cupholders for him to put his sippy cup or snacks in, and I love that the cupholders are not removable!!!
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat to try out in return for my honest review.
