Amazon.com Product Description:
Once your child outgrows her rear-facing infant car seat, she's still required ride in a car seat or a booster for several more years to come.

By removing the back, the Nautilus will accompany a child up to 100 pounds.
Versatile, Convertible Design Lasts through Early Childhood
The Nautilus features an extended five-point harness design that can accommodate children over the age of one, from 20 to 65 pounds in weight--a wider range than most other forward-facing car seats. As your child grows, the seat easily converts to a high-back booster and then, lastly, to a backless booster for a child up to 100 pounds in weight. A steel-reinforced frame and superior construction help to ensure safety and durability through years of use.

Built for Comfort and Superior Safety
You can rest assured that your child will have superior protection while riding in the Nautilus, thanks to extensive crash testing and a steel-reinforced structure. The car seat meets or exceeds US Safety Standards, including U.S. Compliance Standard FMVSS 213; the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), with peak Crash Force approximately twice the Car Seat Standard; and tests for Extreme Car Interior Temperatures. EPS energy-absorbing foam provides additional security and comfort.

As well as being secure and safe, your child will feel extra-comfy, too, with an easily adjustable head support, cushioned seat, and wide armrests; a cup holder and side storage keeps snacks and treasures close at hand.

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.

May be great, but AWFUL for GERDLINGS
My title says it all. Don't get this if your little one has GERD. The angle is terrible. My little one, who is a silent refluxer=no spit ups, vomited all over herself w/i the first 20 minutes in the seat. I knew the angle was off by looking at the seat, but thought I'd try anyway, so upset with myself for putting my little one through it. NOT GERD FRIENDLY and I am out 5.00 (since I obviously can't return it due to the vomit) and am off to find a new seat.


Disappointed
I read all the review on amazon and chose to get this carseat anyway. I am bummed on 2 points. The first point is how hard it is to get all the padding off! This is our 5th carseat with our children and it takes me more than 10 minutes to get all the padding off! The second point, which, unfortunately, was one of the major selling points for us is the recline. It barely reclines! Airline seats recline more. Such a bummer. I should have gotten another First Years True Fit, which I am very happy with.


A great carseat, I own 2!
I recently purchased my second Nautilus because I was so happy with the one I bought for my daughter about a year ago. This carseat is the last one you will need to buy once your child is ready to be forward-facing. Because of it's high top slots, my very tall daughter is able to remain in a 5-point harness much longer than most carseats of compairable price. Other carseats with high top slots are much more expensive. I also love that it converts to a high-back booster, and a backless booster if needed.

When I bought my first Nautilus about a year ago, it seemed to take quite a long time to set up, but they have improved this, and now you can be ready to install in the car in just a few minutes!

For the price, you can't beat this carseat. Just remember, this is a forward facing carseat, so your child must be (at minimum) 1 year old and 20 pounds.


Great car seat
We love this car seat and this is the second we have bought as we now have one in each car. It adjusts easily, the straps are easy to use and it is great that it will last until our son is 10 if we want to use it that long. The cup holder on the new one is deeper too which is a good idea. We just wish they'd put a cup holder on each side so you could have snacks in one and a drink in the other.


Struggle with unbuckling
I am not happy with the buckle. It pushes down, not in. It is really hard to get a grip on it. I struggle almost every time I try to release my child. It worries me that it might be an emergency. Plus, I have an infant. Sometimes I cannot use two hands! Thinking about returning it.

This is an amazing product! It does all that it describes and more. the noise that others have whined about it pretty normal for an electronic item. They should have used a wind-up swing back in my day. I couldn’t wait to get this for my granddaughter. It is soothing and comfortable for her. The music and other sounds is high quality. the seat is plush and large…easy to remove and adjust. Every detail has been so carefully thought out to give the baby a peaceful experience. I wish they made one large enough for ole granny. Thanks Graco!!

Customer Reviews


Love it!
Graco Sweetpeace is one of the best swing in the market. My son received the Sweetpeace as gift, we loved it so much I have decided to purchase the same thing for our newborn nephew. Thank you Graco and Amazon!!!


My baby loves it, but the sound part stopped working
I love love this swing. I love that it has vibration. I love the cozy head rest area. My baby sleeps in it 2 out of 5 nights a week. I love the different speeds, and I love(d) the sounds it played.

Pros:
-mac daddy of all swings.
-plays ipod lullaby playlist!!
-comfy and snuggly
-doesn't scream "baby in the house"
-great soothing sounds
-has vibration! a great feature
-I love the directions it swings
-5 point harness!!
-sturdy


Cons:
-I bought mine used/new from a woman who said she never used it more than twice.
-the whole sound thing stopped working after 2 months. No Ipod, no rain noises, NOTHING. It's okay.. i mean I can live without that as long as the vibration works and the swing itself swings... but when you pay this much for a swing and now I cant even really resale it when I am done with it.. boo.
-HEAVY and bulky. Not something you want to even move from the living room to the kitchen. Ever. Way way heavy.
-basically impossible to transport over to grandmas for the weekend due to large size and weight and bulk. Even unassembled, this thing is a beast. So we just left it at grandmas and bought a rainforest swing for our place. Rainforest swing collapses flat practically, and can be crammed in a closet for a day if needs to be. it just doesn't have the vibration. Or the ipod feature :)
-the toys SUCK. I just took the toy bar off and tossed it in a closet. Completely in the way and useless. i'll reattach it when i give it away. Since I can't resell something that doesn't play music. sigh.


The look of it is better than the actual product
I saw this swing and had to get it because it did so many cool things. It had a really easy assembly and it was not battery powered which i was excited about! When i turned on the swing i noticed that the motor was extremly loud, I could hear it in the next room. I thought that maybe with some weight in the swing the noise would die down. I was wrong. My daughter absolutley hates the swing. she was never soothed by the swing it acutally did the oppisite, it made her scream.She enjoyed the tradiontal swing more then the one with all the supposively "soothing" attributes. I bought the fisher-price papasan swing after i realized she hated the Graco one and she loves the Fisher-price one. Luckily I found the Graco one on sale!


AWESOME UNIT
While researching all other swings I would always see an ad for this particular swing.

I did the research and on average 8 out of 10 people would say that they loved it.. 4 out of 10 people would complain that the motor is WAYYY TO LOUD.

Before the baby was here I took the unit out the box and assembled it within 20 minutes or so ( thats because im stubborn and didnt want to read the instructions) but assembly was very easy and simple.

Placed a 6 - 8 pound sack of flour into the unit and tested it. MOTOR WAS LOW but has a smal little clicking sound which can be masked with the music that is being played out of the unit. But def purchase the unit before the baby is here for testing. If you get a unit with a loud motor you can always get a new one and you have enough time for that.

You have 3 ways of placing the seat and so far we place the chair as if we are holding her and rocking her side to side.

1 week tomorrow our baby is here and sleeps for HOURS until feeding time.


Disappointed in noise and music volume
I have a Sweetpeace and a FP Papasan side by side. The Papasan, while it too makes some noise, is much, much quieter than the Sweetpeace, and my babies prefer it. The music is SO loud too! Even at the lowest volume, it's too loud to be soothing. I am so disappointed in this product.

@ From a Real Customer Experience …

This Graco walker does the job. My 6 mos old can get from point A to point B pretty easily. The only complaint I have which I did read in the other reviews is that the toy tray it comes with isn’t that entertaining for him. But the upside to that is the toy tray is removable and I can give him his own toys to play with on the tray. Also the back wheels don’t turn as well. Overall, I would recommend this product, what you see is what you get!

Great for walking or snacking but don't like attachments
This walker was easy to assemble and my daughter moves around in it with ease, even on the carpet. My only issues with it are 1) the colors (not the most attractive, but I knew this when I bought it) and 2) the attachment toys are really just stuffed animals who make strange sounds and short-lived music (not cute songs). However, I didn't buy it for the toys that come on it, so I'm still glad we have it.


Walker is great, the toys really are lame
It's a good thing my daughter could care less about the toys, because it does not deter her from loving her walker. What it also doesn't deter her from, unfortunately, is getting her little hands on everything within reach! At least now we know what we have to baby-proof. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the ridiculous stuffed toys with unintelligible moans and metallic sounding words. I love this walker!


happy mom & grandma
This mobile entertainer is great. I bought it for my grandson for his 1st birthday and while putting it together he was so curious. He love's it. He loves the toys on it and he figured out right away how to move it around. It has been 2 months, he is a speeder in it. It is a great and I would recoment it, "HIGHLY".


The elephant seems to be confused.....but the stroller is wonderful!
Bought this stroller because of the large front wheels which seem to work well on carpet. My little girl is getting around with no problem and the height is very easy to adjust. Very easy to put together (my husband did it w/o me having to read him directions). Only thing that kept it from a perfect score is the "jungle crew" which are the stuffed animals that make sounds when she bats at them. The songs are lame to say the least, they almost sound like elevator music, the animals sounds are cute...the lion growls, the monkey hollers and then you get to the elephant and all you can say is "what the !@#$?". The elephant makes this "ooo, ooo, ooo" sound which is not at all accurate of the sounds that an elephant makes. Also because the elephant is right in the middle, my daughter puts it in her mouth most of all and now the elephant goes off on its own w/o anyone being in or around the walker. Graco should have spent more time with the sounds or maybe they should just not include it and knock the price down some. The walker by itself is wonderful!


GREAT Walker!
Love this walker an the most important reason it deserves 5 stars is because unlike the scissor fold walkers, this one is SAFE and will NEVER collapse! Colors of the walker are great, rolls over carpet, tiles and rough slate all with EASE! Toys are lame, most babies won't pay any mind to them when they can't easily get them to make noise and the two mix n move toys are pastel and uninteresting so they don't scream for attention, other annoying things would be the seat is a little of a pain to get out to wash (go to graco replacement parts website and buy a spare for accidents!) These negatives don't even make a dent on this walker though, it's SAFE, is a smooth ride, has great brakes and my son ADORES it! Oh and it was CHEAP monetarily, not cheaply made !
