Graco Nautilus Group 1/2/3 Car Seat

We had a Graco Baby seat and liked it a lot so we went for the Graco Nautilus 1/2/3 when my son was getting to big for the Baby seat. It's super easy to install, super comfortable and sturdy. He likes the cup holder and the little pockets for putting in his toys. The straps are soft and stay in place. He also falls asleep in it so he must feel comfy in it.

We have recently purchased a Graco Nautilus carseat. We have chosen it after some detailed research of carseats offered around. The product looks of great built quiality and I would expect it to be very comfy for my son (we have not tested it yet on the road as he is just below 9 kgs). I have rated it 4 out of 5 just because of one feature that although small, frustrated me and my wife quite a lot. On various photos over the internet the seat is shown with or without a padded body support that should be used at the initial stage 1 of the seat. It is considered to be for greater support and comfort of smaller children. On the amazon photo this body support is not shown but as we saw various photos we considered it's just a matter of differerent shots of the same carseat. However, when we received our package it turned out no such support was included, although it was shown on the pictures outside the box that the seat was packed in and on the marketing materials included in the box. Once we went through the owner's manual it turned out that this body support and some other elements are considered as optional accessories and apparently were not part of the product offered by amazon. However, this is not specifically stated on the amazon site and you would need a manual to find it out. I believe we would go without it and would be OK. My son is quite small in size for his age (11 months) and still when seated in the carseat seems to be fine without the body support. Still, future customers should have this in mind before ordering the seat from amazon, if they consider having this support for their child a must.

My boy is bit taller for his age, so we wanted to have a spacious car seat, This is one is perfect as it grows with the age upto 12. Its Solid Rocks seat, Heavy, NOT a Cheap looking seat, The weight of this char can tell the quality compared to other big brands like Maxi cosi etc. has side protection, very spacious

ONLY downside i feel is, although i have not seen or compared many other brands, but only Maxi Cosi....

The downside is, RECLINE, I would expect more decline for better sleeping popsition, when the baby is sleeping...
