Graco Nautilus or Britax Regent?

Expecting0207

What are your thoughts?  I know the Britax Frontier is more comparable to the Nautilus in terms of converting to a booster, but the price is not within the budget right now.

I don't have a britax, nor do I know much about them. But I do have the Nautilus and love it. It's a great carseat-no complaints about it.

You will probably get more use out of the Nautilus since it converts to a booster (unless you have a really huge kid and need the Regent. . . I think the harness height is the highest you can get).  I also hear the Regent is a HUGE seat so you'll have to see how it fits in your car.

Yeah, the regent has harness straps 2.5 inches taller than the nautilus. It's really just not necessary for most kids. We have one and love it, but Ethan is a really big kid (and it was the only one of the type of seat available when he outgrew the convertible). We also love our nautilus, and it's the last seat you'll need.
