Super Seat
We really like this seat. We bought one for my oldest daughter almost two years ago, and we liked it so well that we bought a second one for my younger daughter. I didn't even consider looking at another seat, this one does everything we need. The girls love their seats. They sleep in them, and are comfortable for short or long trips. They especially like the deep pockets for toys and the cup holders. The harness is easy to use, and my husband didn't curse very much installing them, so I think that is relatively easy too (we don't have LATCH in our car, so have to do the seat belt and clip routine). I know you can easily spend a small fortune on car seats, but I can't see how a $[...] seat could be any better than this one. Oh, and the Dori color pattern is super cute if you have a little girl. It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but it's a light gray base with a lavender flower contrast pattern and pink piping trim.

Crotch Strap to tight
We originally decided to get the Nautilus because it had most of the features we were looking for and it was cheaper than the Britax Frontier. After less than a week we ended up returning it and spending the extra $$ for the Frontier.

Our biggest complaint was the tight crotch strap. My son is just over two years old and 30 lbs and already the crotch strap is under his butt. Upon reading the materials and contacting Graco you discover that once that happens you can no longer use the 5 pt harness and the seat MUST be converted to a booster. Not only is that not what we wanted but it is illegal for a 2 year old to be in a booster seat!

At the store we got out our measuring tape and Frontier's crotch notches begin where the Nautilus ends! I am convinced that the Nautilus is made for younger naive parents who don't realize how much (and in what ways) their children will grow.

If you have super skinny, rail-thin children maybe this will work for a while. If you have a normal child be prepared to buy another seat down the road.

6-year old has room to grow!
I just wanted to add that my 6-year old boy was using a booster seat & switched to the Nautilus. He is about 50 pounds and on the highest harness setting, but he has room to grow in the harness. He actually prefers this seat to a booster as it is more comfortable for him. His only complaint is when he drops something in the back seat, he has to wait until we stop so I can get it for him and with the booster he could stretch out the seatbelt and get anything anywhere in the backseat. This is obviously what makes the seat safer for him though. He can clip & unclip all points of the harness himself, just as he would unclip the seatbelt himself when using a booster, so there really isn't any difference there. Sometimes, my 2-year-old sits in this seat and she is unable to unclip the harness, so it does have some degree of difficulty for the youngsters. I would definately purchase another one in the future!

Perfect except for the crotch strap
I wanted this seat to work. Everything about it was perfect except for one fatal flaw: the crotch strap. In its furthest position, it pressed against my son's body, and he's only 32 pounds and not even three years old yet. At first I thought I must be doing something wrong, so I put his current carseat and the Nautilus side by side and made him go back and forth between them a million times. I really wanted the Nautilus to work out, but finally I concluded that the crotch strap really is too close. He has plenty of space in his current convertible seat, but it seemed the Nautilus would render him incapable of producing grandchildren in another 25 years or so. I'm definitely not ready to move him to a booster, so I reluctantly returned the Nautilus and will continue my carseat search.

The BEST Car Seat!
We have owned the Nautilus car seat for 1.5 years now... and I absolutely LOVE it.

Reasons Why We will Be getting another one for our younger daughter too:

1. Our older daughter is 4.5 and is still riding safely and comfortably in the five point harness.
2. The Sippie holder is built right into the seat. So no matter what form you use the seat in your child will always have it.
3. The hidden cubbies on the insides of the arm rest are perfect for storing sunglasses and little toys.
4. The Fabric is durable and doesn't show wear. I have only had to wash ours once.
5. The seat Reclines, ours is set in the recline so that if she falls asleep her head doesn't lean forward.
6. It's easy to adjust the straps. Our older daughter is the only using this seat so we only adjust the straps when she has a growth spurt. But they are easy to do and if she happens to put on a sweatshirt it's easy to let them out a little to compensate for it.
7. The fabric is nice and classy. There isn't any wild flower patterns or cow pattern going on here... it matches my car interior nicely without being bland.
8. It's the last car seat we will buy. IT's so versatile and alot cheaper than other high end models who do not offer this kind of staying power.

I can't rave about this car seat enough. I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

Glad we made the investment
We bought this swing the day before our baby was born and I'm so glad we did. I had read some of the reviews on it and most were positive - I was a little concerned about the "motor" noise some people mentioned. We put our baby in it the first time and she loved it - she would sleep wonderfully in it. Actually, when she was a brand new baby, its about the only place she would sleep. There was some "noise" from the motor, I guess you could say, but it was such a low hum that it didn't bother me or her. I think it might have even soothed her because it was sort of like a white noise. The speakers on this swing are incredible. I was surprised at the quality of sound that came out of this swing. One poster labeled it Bose worthy and I would have to agree. Sound is very high def and crystal clear. Even my iPod sounds great hooked up to the swing. We keep the swing in our living room so when I'm cleaning I hook the iPod up to it. We've never loaded any baby songs on our iPod for her, I guess that feature was more of a plus for us. But the music that comes standard on it is very soothing, and the nature sounds are beautiful. I love the rain the best. My daughter is now 6 months old and weighs a whopping 20 pounds! She still takes 2 naps a day in this swing and it swings her just fine. I'm glad it has such a strong motor. Not sure when she'll be too heavy for it. It's very sturdy, made well. I'll be sad the day she outgrows it but will definitely be keeping it for a second baby. I also love that it plugs into the wall - no batteries or things to wind up!

It IS pretty loud, even with a brand new motor!
I got mine on craigslist for half price. The motor was working intermittently and slipping so I called Graco and ordered a new motor (the entire tower) for 50 dollars. It is an older model, or so the customer service rep. told me, but even with a brand new motor mine still makes a pretty loud noise, so much that you have to turn up the TV to be able to hear it over the noise. It will still slow while swinging and almost stop, then starts again, so it seems to be a design flaw and not due to a run down motor. I also think the vibrating chair is even louder than the swinging motion.

My two week old can still fall asleep despite the noise, and it is one of the few places he will stay asleep for hours. The music entertains my 3 year old, and he likes to sing along. The sound quality is nice, and it does seem a bit loud to me while the baby is sleeping, but not loud enough to disturb him. He also likes to watch the toy hanging from the canopy.

I loved it, My son did not.
I bought this because of all of the features. My favorite was the MP3 hookup. There are so many ways that this can be used, but my son was more of a hands on baby. He was very colicky and this swing only made him cry more. Its a beautiful swing & so many positions, vibrations, and tons of other things...it just wasnt right for us.

One of the best items I received.
I love this swing. It is very easy to switch the swing seat out for the car seat. My son takes most of his naps in it and when we come home from car trips, I don't have to wake him up by moving him out of the car seat. The only thing I would change is to make it easier to take the material off to clean. You have to unscrew two areas to get the cover off. However,it washes nicely.

Love it!
The BEST Baby Swing! I am a mother of three, and this has by far been my favorite! My only negative is the fact that I have big babies and my son is only 6 mos old and still loves his swing, but he weighs in at 21 lbs and it won't move anymore even though the weight says up to 25 lbs. Something to think about I guess! However, I have not checked the weight limits on the other swings. I may contact Graco, perhaps my swing is defective in that area.

Not for use on carpet
Well my daughter didn't get much use out of this because it was hard to roll on carpet. While it was a cute walker and easy to assemble I found it to be very bulky and hard for her to use. My daughter did enjoy the toys and the animal sounds/songs.

Great Walker!
This walker is great. I bought it for my daughter when she was 8 months old, a little older than most people do, but she loved it. Once she got the hang of it she was scooting across the house super fast. Some of the other reviewers stated that it was hard for their babies to move on the carpet but she never had any problems, even going from carpet to lenoleum. The only thing I did not really care for was the tray of toys, she never really used it, and it did not really work that great. The stops worked great the were really sturdy and once locked in they did not move. Also I bought it because it did not fold down, I never trusted the style that folded so this one was perfect because it locks in at 3 leaves. I would definately recommend it to anyone.

Suprisingly Awesome!
I bought this walker for my 9 month old son - after reading it's reviews, i was impressed by all the positive reviews, and more importantly, that it rolled well on carpet and tile..

All those reviews were right on! We live in a house, in germany, where everything is tiled - and we have an area rug on the floor of the living room - this walker is awesome on both. My son is a speed demon, and loves to chase the dogs around - they all get their workouts!

I can't recomment this walker highly enough - we did super saver, and got free shipping to our APO address (which doesn't work for everything...) and within one week, the walker was here. Putting it together was so easy and while the toys are nothing particularly special, my son still loves playing with them - this holds his attention for about half an hour at a time, which is a MIRACLE, and a gift when i am trying to cook dinner!

It might not be the coolest walker out there, but it is awesome in it's own functionality - A+++

Graco Walker worth the purchase!
Bought this walker for my 9 month old grand-daughter. She is very active and likes to get around. I bought this for a number of reasons----first with the large tray area, though she can get to things like the coffee table, she can't reach past the tray to pull things off. 2nd----we host Easter at out house and the walker will allow her to be down and active without the fear of anyone stepping on her. She loves it and can get around easily---rolls on carpet as well as tile, hardwood and the outdoor patio. The only downside----the music isn't easily activated. Not a big deal but something to be aware of.

great for beginners
ok got this for my 6 month old and she loves it, it is easy to move around in and the animals are great also, but it didn't come with the zebra teething ring that is shows on the box or in the picture so be carefull on that. other than the missing pc. the product does what it is supposed to do.
