This car seat is fantastic! We received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and have been using it for my 4-year old daughter. She was so excited that the seat has cup holders, and we absolutely love how beautiful it is in our car. The seat is incredibly easy to install, with a quick run-through of a seatbelt in the back. We had a little trouble figuring out how to use the LATCH system, as the straps seemed to be too short. The head rest and straps adjust very easily, and buckling her in is a breeze. We had a unique opportunity to travel with this car seat, so I was able to see how easily I could fit it into a standard car seat travel bag, and it was very lightweight in comparison to my other kids’ car seats that we were also carrying. It also meant that I had to install and uninstall this car seat several times, so I’ve had plenty of opportunities for it to be incredibly tedious. However, it was the easiest of all of our car seats to install, and I did not feel frustrated about it at all. I am giving this a 4-star rating, just because of the LATCH issues, but we absolutely love everything else about it. We will be continuing to use this car seat instead of the more expensive one we originally purchased for her. Great job Graco! I would highly recommend this seat to friends. Ok

This is a most buy

I have 3 boys ranging from 2 to 9 years old. I have tried lots of different car seats. Unfortunately, we have been in two different car crashes, neither one was our fault, which tested are car seats safety and meant we had to buy new car seats. The Graco Nautilus snuglock 3 in 1 harness booster seems to be an updated version from three carseats we currently own. Obviously, one of the main things I look for in a car seat is safety but the little things can make all the difference. I love the fact this car seat has been rigorously tested in crashes. It has passed standard safety measures by Graco but also by other independent companies. Out of the box, I noticed a feature called fuss-free harness storage. I immediately fell in love with this feature. Since my nine-year-old was a baby, we've been complaining about not being able to hold the harness out of the way as you place the baby in the car seat. This is an absolutely brilliant feature and I would buy this car seat for this feature alone. Overall, this car seat has many amazing and thoughtful features. It's has a handle to adjust the headrest which makes it so much easier to move. As you adjust the headrest, it also changes the harness which means no restringing the harness. The downside to this is, I will never have a reason to undo the seat which means, even though it's machine-washable, I will probably never get to it. As you change the car seat from a 5-point harness to a booster seat you are able to store the harness in the car seat. This is an amazing feature because I don't have to find somewhere to store the harness and then hopefully remember what car seat it goes to and where I put it. The feature my two-year-old loves the most was having cubbyholes like his big brothers. Both big brother's have cup holder envy since this seat has two. I love the fact the cup holders are easily accessible for him to grab his sippy cup. Although the car seat is very heavey, not sure this is a bad thing, it was very simple to put together and install into the car. Overall, I really like this car seat! I'm very thankful that I was able to review this product for free from weeSpring's steller product testing panel. Thank you.

Great Car Seat

I love that this seat grows with my child. My daughter is very tall for her age (99%) but is super skinny so she outgrows the height restrictions way before the weight restrictions. Being able to use a seat for longer gives me peace of mind that she will be safe if anything happens. Her favorite feature is that "its really comfy." I wouldn't say it was any easier than our other car seat to install but it was easier to to adjust the headrest and straps. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Booster.

High quality and easy to assemble.

I was given this Booster to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. Upon taking the car seat out of the box I was surprised by how heavy it was. I was happy about this because it definitely feels sturdy and like it will last for awhile. It was super easy to put together and literally just clicked together. I love that it has the five point harness because I do want my little one to have that for as long as possible. Installing it into the car was pretty easy, and adjusting it was a simple click. Overall I really like the seat and I was easily able to assemble, adjust, and install the seat all by myself.

Best booster ever!

This is the easiest booster seat to install! For someone who typically dreads any sort of car seat installation, this seat is an absolute dream. It was installed securely in minutes. When you have 5 kids in car seats, minutes matter. I absolutely love the dual cup holders — one for a drink and one for a snack cup. I also love that this seat will last for so many years and can evolve from a 5-point harness to a backless booster. You definitely want this seat!

Great Choice for a Versatile Car Seat
on January 23, 2019

I take car seats really seriously. My kids will actually tell their grandparents if they did not put them in their seat properly and to my specifications. As a mother of an 8 year-old that uses a backless booster, a six year-old that uses a booster with a back, and an almost 2 year-old that uses a full-size rear-facing car seat, I have a lot of experience over the last decade with car seats. I am also a former pediatric and NICU nurse that has helped many new parents make sure they have their car-seat properly installed, so I really have spent a lot of time working with a lot of car seats. The most important thing that I look for in a car seat is that it fits snugly without any movement, and that it adjusts to fit the child in it. For me, the Graco Nautilus SnugLock 3-in-1 Harness Booster was great in those areas. The SnugLock feature took a little while to get figured out, but once I learned that you can really push it hard without breaking it, I was able to get the seat installed without any movement. The fact that you can adjust the height of the shoulder straps without having to re-thread them like other car seat brands made it very quick and easy to adjust. The headrest was easy to adjust as well. We used it with all 3 of our daughters, and it was able to work for all of them. As a mother of 3, a big concern was that it was so large (wide) that you could not fit it next to another full-size car seat, which is a drawback when you need to use it as a booster next to a younger child. It was also pretty heavy, which is a bummer when moving it around, but it is nice to feel that it is well-built. The only other drawback was that the harness release was very hard to access when getting the kids out. My daughters liked the nice cup-holders, and our 6 year old thought it was very comfy with the back on as a booster. Our 8 year-old did not fit well when using it as a backless booster, but she is getting to the tale end of using boosters in general. Overall, I felt this was a very well-made, safe, and highly versatile car seat. If you are looking for something to fit multiple children, or last from the time they turn around to when they are using a backless booster, the Graco Nautilus SnugLock 3-in-1 Harness Booster would be a great choice. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this car seat to try and review.

Great Booster

Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with the Graco Nautilus SnugLock 3-in-1 Booster. We like Graco carseats. They seem to work really well with my tall & skinny boys. My oldest still rides in the 5 point harness & will continue to do so until he weighs a little bit more. But I am excited because this is a very nice booster. The booster was easy to assemble, but I did need to consult the manual more than once. My son finds the booster very comfortable & he really likes how padded the shoulder strap pads are. Installing the booster was easy, however the lower anchor straps are not as easy to install as carseats with rigid lower latch. This isn't a huge deal & my no means a deal breaker. Adjusting the harness & headrest is so easy. It seems even easy than my other Graco carseats. But it is rather difficult to loosen the harness with the interior lever when in use, which is the only major downside to this carseat. The lever to loosen the harness is pretty far back. I have a hardtime reaching it. My son is unable to loosen it himself, which is a feature in carseat that we need. In our specific situation, he need to be able to unbuckle himself in the carpool drop off. We feel he is mature enough to handle this & is something that with our vehicle & number of kids, we need. Fortunately, once he no longer needs the 5 point harness, that need becomes moot. I like how easy the carseat can go from a 5 point harness to a highback booster with the seatbelt. The harness storage is a great feature. The carseat looks nice & being a Graco I can trust it will keep my kid safe. This is going to be the last carseat my kiddo will ever use.

Helps my child to be more independent!

The Graco Nautilus SnugLock 3-in-1 Harness Booster puts all my other carseats to shame. I was highly impressed by the box alone when I was first sent this carseat from the WeeSpring Parent Panel to review. It has been a breeze to use right from the beginning as attaching the back to the booster takes just one click. Which means it will be just as easy to take it off as my child grows. I appreciate the directions on the sides of the seat explaining all the different ways to install it but I just use the LATCH system which is easy peasy. There are so many little well thought out features that make this my favorite carseat to date.
The best part is that my 3 year old can use it by himself! There are little pockets on the sides that hold the chest straps out of the way so the child can climb in without tangling everthing. I know...GENIOUS! Also, NO need to undo all the straps and rethread to your child's size. You literally just have to press a button on the headrest and move it up to grow with your child. Don't even get me started on how easy it is to clean! This carseat has made my life just a little bit easier and as a mom of four kiddos that is a huge win in my book.
