Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 conv carseat?

Thoughts on this carseat from anyone who has it? Seems to get good reviews.
Currently have the Britax Boulevard but my 2.5 yr old daughter is SO uncomfortable in it - slides herself down & just looks so uncomfortable. Not sure why. She's big for her age - 35lbs & 36+ inches at 2.5 yrs.
Nautilus is on sale at target so was thinking of trying that for her now & putting the Britax away for my 4 mo old son to use when he is out of infant seat.

Any thoughts on this appreciated!
TIA!!!

Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 conv carseat?

We just got one for my 19 month old. He is in the Britax Marathon in my car, and the Nautilus in DH's car. He has only been using it for a few weeks, but so far so good. He is very comfy in it and I like that he can use it for the next few years.

We have 2 one for each ds. I love them! Ds1 is now using his as a backless booster but at 4 and 38 lbs he could have stayed in the 5 point harness longer comfortably.
I just really think the amount of carseat and the 3 different carseats in one is worth the money

I would get it at that price. DS has been in his since he was 2 year old.. He loves it. Sleeps in it. Very comfy... Never complains...

My kids both have it and love it. It seems like a comfortable seat, love that it has a cupholder, and it's very easy to buckle/unbuckle them.

We have the Argos and its hard to fasten the buckle compared to my Britax Marathon but I like the seat otherwise.

Thanks for the replies. Glad to hear you are all happy with it. I got it at Target yesterday for about $87 - deal of the century! Was on sale, plus I had a Target coupon for 25% off caraeats, plus 5% off for using my Target card.
Will install today & hope my daughter is more comfy in it.
I really love how this will grow with her & this will be the only seat she needs from here on out.

I loved ours in the beginning but now almost a year later we hate it, the buckle gets stuck a lot and it's very frustrating. I read up on it and found LOTS of complains about the issue, seems to be something these carseats have. I even read here on LIF a while back that some moms had the same problem.

Love it! We have 3 (my car, DH's car, my parents' car - actually we have 4, as we had one in the babysitter's car, too!). My DD can buckle/unbuckle herself (we tighten) and she's still in the 5-pt harness at 5 1/2! (and she's in the 90th+ percentile for height/weight!)
