    Pros: Price, quality, longevity, comfort, safety.
    Cons: Weight. They are very heavy seats, hard to carry.

    Sep 8, 2010
    Pros: grows with child
    padded crotch clip
    movable headrest
    harnesses to 65 pounds
    Cons: top harness height is low enough for a tall 4yo to outgrow

    Summary: Two very important things about this seat, first is that it is a forward-facing seat only.  You cannot rear-face this seat.  Second, extended harnessing is safest for a preschooler, this seat grows with your child from a harness to ... read more

    Pros: Affordable, great quality, comfortable, easy to clean
    Cons: Does not recline very far

  • The last carseat you'll need to buy once you've turned them front facing!

    Jul 26, 2009
    Pros: Extended harnessing weight, lasts through many years of carseating, easy to use.
    Cons: Heavy.  Not the one to choose for switching cars frequently.

    Summary: This carseat ranks very high on my list of favorite carseats.  I bought it because my son had outgrown his Cosco Scenera, and I was worried that I still needed (and very much wanted) him to be in a harnessed seat, being that he was only 2 1/2 years ... read more

    Pros: Tight install. Cup holder and toy holders are great! 65 lb 5 pt. harness.
    Cons: None!

    Summary: The Graco Nautilus was the third car seat I bought for my son. He had an infant car seat, then outgrew it and went into a convertible seat, he outgrew it and I was tired of buying car seats. I wanted one that would last until he was 100 lbs this time. ... read more

    Cons: re-threading straps

    Summary: Why I bought this seat:  My 3-1/2 yr old daughter is rapidly approaching 40 lbs but it is safer to keep her harnessed until at least 5 years, so I needed a high weight harness seat that would allow me to keep her harnessed longer.  The ... read more

    Pros: Does what it's supposed to do, namely, prevent serious injury to small children. 
    Cons: Kind of heavy, but that's probably a good thing when it comes to injury prevention.
