Car seat

So, we had to cut my 3 yo ds out of his nautilus last week. The buckle stuck and I couldn't get him out of the seat after a 20 min struggle. We are in the market for a new seat for out 18 mo, too. Initially, I was going to get him a nautilus, but now I'm not so sure.

Now I need to buy 2 seats. Do I get nautilus, and chalk up the sticky buckle as a fluke? Also considering the Argos and Britax frontier, but not sure the britax is worth the extra expense.

Both boys are very tall - 3 yo is 40 inches, 18 mo is 35 inches tall.

The seats will be going in a new explorer, but we are getting a new SUV this summer if that makes a difference.

So nautilus, Argos, or frontier? Tia

Wow, that's crazy! I'd contact Graco if I were you - perhaps they'd be willing to send you a new one or at least offer a nice discount on a new one. I am typically a very big fan of the Nautilus, but I can see why you wouldn't want to get another! The Frontier is supposedly a great seat as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those!

Re: Car seat

I emailed graco. They sent us a shipping label and will cut us a check when they get the car seat. They've been great about it, but I googled and it's a very common issue apparently. I'd hate for it to happen again.

Re: Car seat

I would still stick with the Graco. go for the Argos Elite if you can swing it. This has been a complaint that has arisen, but it seems. On a handful of seats.

Re: Car seat

The only Argos elite I see is online only and a model year 2011. Do you know where I can find a newer model?
