Nautilus...Booster question now that there is more news on them being unsafe

On the ratings the news just gave, the Nautilus was only rating as being ok for some kids....so does that mean not to use it a a booster once dd is out of the harness?  Also there are so many graco turbo booster brands mentioned, I have no clue which ones we have in the garage when we need it!!  so confusing.. I thought we were safe with the nautilus

Re: Nautilus...Booster question now that there is more news on them being unsafe

  • The important thing to realize about boosters is that there's not one seat that will work for every child. The nauti might work for some kids, but not others. It didn't work for DS. I know his seat won't work for DD, because he's a big kid and it's great for bigger kids. You can't count on the fact that you'll be able to use your harness-booster combo, you can just hope that it's going to work. Try him in it when it's time, and see if the belt fits properly (like in the picture on the website). If not, you'll need to find a different one, but it may be a game of finding the right one for your child and your car; it may not be as easy as just picking one and buying it. Proper belt fit is extremely important, so I would never use a seat that didn't fit perfectly.
  • where can I find this info. and the picture?? DS #1 has a nautilus, we were hopeing to use it as a booster also, but maybe not after reading this....

    Is there a link??? I haven't heard this news yet :-/
