About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the Box

 DISAPPOINTED December 4, 2008
A. April (Maui, Hi United States)
Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat in Matrix
Just bought Graco Nautilus, diappointed. I have a older car that doesn't have the latch system. The shoulder belt is unable to be tightened correctly, so the car seat moves back and forth as the car moves. Also, when my 3 year old fell asleep his head had zero support and just hung forward, even in the "recline" position of the seat. We had a Brittax round about prior to purchasing the Graco Nautilis. Now, we need to buy another car seat. We are looking at the Brittax Regent or Brittax Frontier.
 Excellent Convertable car seat December 4, 2008
Katey D. (Philadelphia, Pensylvania)
I purchased this after my 5 year old reached 40 lbs and grew out of his last car seat. I like that when he gets a little bigger (which won't take long) I can convert this into a booster. This seat was reccomended to me by the Car Seat Safety Check Point person at my local hospital. I had my car seats checked when my son was still in his old one, and she told be about this one as a good next purchase. I am happy with the purchase.
 Good Toddler/Booster seat December 3, 2008
Ravi K. Satyavarapu
We bought this seat last week and we are happy with it. Couple if things i want to share:
1. Good safety metal frame, very comfortable for long drives
2. Though the seat has recliner, it doesn't recline alot.
3. It occupies a bit of more space in Camry. So if you want to accmodate 2adutls and this car seat in rear seat of your sedan, you have to think. We positioned the car set in center and my wife sits next to him after moving the seat a bit to other side.
Overall we liked this a lot. I got the best deal in amazon @122
great step up between convertible and booster December 2, 2008
J. Y. Hicks (WA)
Poor second child's hand-me-down car seat expired, but he was still such a peanut that he will be in a five point harness for a while. We looked at getting a less expensive replacement convertible car seat and then a booster in a few years for him, but he didn't like any of the less expensive car seats - the only ones he was comfortable in were more expensive. So, I didn't buy anything at the store and went home to stew a while and decide what to do. I decided that *I* liked this one the best in the store, even though he didn't *love* it like he did some of the others. I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS ONE!! He is really comfortable in it, and he loves having the little cubbies and the cupholder for his cars and stuff he likes to carry along with us. We took it on a 10+ hour trip and he was great in it. Sleeping in it is not the greatest, but he doesn't sleep that much in it. The wings are deep enough to give his head enough support that it doesn't look scary for him to fall asleep in it. I have raved about this seat to others and would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone with an older toddler/preschooler who needs a five-point harness and then a booster.
SO HAPPY!!!!!!! December 2, 2008
Melissa A. Vandever (Bethlehem, PA)
This product is perfect for a growing child. We bought it originally for my 3 year old son who out grew every car seat we have. I loved it so much we bought another one. After the holidays we are replacing the other two we have for my 1 year old daughter. I even bragged so much about it to my friends they bought it as well. I'm happy my son and daughter will both be able to be in a 5-point harness for a long time.
