re: Carseat recommendations?

Quoting Meg ♥:" I have the graco nautilus and LOVE it, but recently saw this seat on BG. It's similar to the Nautilus, ... [snip!] ... weight limit is higher and the straps don't need to be rethread. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11685743"

Damn, I didn't realize these seats were so much, lol. I'll look into it, though.  

Quoting Charlee ♥ Jensen:" I *think* that might be the new and improved Nautilus "

It looked identical, but I wasn't sure if it was replacing the seat or not.

Quoting Andie.:" Most of the combo seats in that price range don't last long at all. They have a 40lb limit, and pretty ... [snip!] ... is the same weight limits and top slot height as the Nautilus called the Harmony Defender 360. It's around $100 at Walmart. "

The Harmony Defender is crap.

Ya it's just the new nauti.
I think it has no rethread

Quoting Meg ♥:" It looked identical, but I wasn't sure if it was replacing the seat or not. "

It's not a replacement. It's just different specs. It's a nicer version of the Nauti basically.

Quoting Michael Westen:" The Harmony Defender is crap."

Sounds like a video game, lol.

we use the Diono radian rxt carseat for our 4 year old.

But remember you won't need to buy a new one u til booster mode (if you don't use the booster on the new seat)

Quoting Meg ♥:" It looked identical, but I wasn't sure if it was replacing the seat or not. "

I'm not sure it is going to replace the Nautilus but I am pretty sure that is the new improved one. I know Graco has been improving a few of their seats lately

Quoting Michael Westen:" The Harmony Defender is crap."

I haven't seen it in person yet, but it looks ok from what I've seen on my other forum. Why is it crap?

Yeah, true. I just wish my kids were going to be closer together in age, so I could re-use these seats.

Quoting Andie.:" I haven't seen it in person yet, but it looks ok from what I've seen on my other forum. Why is it crap?"

It's just really cheap feeling and it doesn't feel sturdy at all.

That's the crappy part I guess

What seat is your first in now?

Cosco Scenera. It was the only seat small enough to fit into my 2-door. The rest were too bulky.

Quoting Michael Westen:" It's just really cheap feeling and it doesn't feel sturdy at all."

That doesn't make it crap, IMO. Lots of seats are not sturdy feeling, they all have to pass the same testing and since they don't release testing results, there is nothing that says a more sturdy seat is safer/better.
