Last thoughts on the Graco Nautilus (Naughty-Less !) car seat


After the past month of school holidays, we've done several long drives including the 8-hour drives down to the grandparents' in Brittany and back, so the Graco Nautilus has had some serious road testing. (Literally !)

We have a large repertoire of bordeom-busting games to play as we drive (I-spy, First person to see ..., Pub Cricket, etc) so this time, we added the Graco Nautilus Alphabet Game to the list ! The girls had to think of one cool thing about the car seat for each letter of its name. Here's what we came up with !

G - Grown up design that appeals to teens and pre-teens
R - Really comfy
A - Adapts to fit all ages
C - Cool cup holder
O - Only car seat you'll ever need !

N - No more neck ache
A - Aeroplane-style seat
U - Useful seatbelt guides
T - Three-in-one seat
I - Intuitive fitting so no need to pore over the instruction booklet
L - Lovely long naps due to the head support
U - Use with choice of harness or seatbelt
S - Secret hiding places for toys, snacks and sick bags !

All of the above has led us to decide that it should in fact be called the Graco Naughty-Less car seat because there is much less whining on long drives ! Thank you Graco for giving us the chance to test out this fabulous car seat - mums, dads and kids have fallen in love with it wherever we've been on our travels !
