Window shopping for convertible carseats

I looked at Target & BRU today. Some of those seats look like space ships. They are so huge! I really liked the Graco Nautilus. It didn't seem so bulky. I was hoping to catch a Britax on sale but I wasn't lucky. Does anyone have experience with the nautilus or any other suggestions?

    The Nautilus isn't a convertible. It is not RFing. We are getting this seat for DS when DD needs his convertible.
    Sorry no paragraphs, bumping from my phone.

    We have the Evenflow Symphony for DS and really like it. We will probably get another for DD when she needs a RF convertable carseat. I highly recommend it!

    We used an Eddie Bauer convertible for DD. We didn't use it as rear-facing, although it could have been. It's pretty huge, but the nice thing is we can use it as a booster now, up to 100 pounds.

    Diono is a convertible to booster.  It's apparently very slim and very safe (former brand name was Sunshine Kids for those with Baby Bargains). Very expensive though at around $300 CDN

    We currently have a MyRide for DS. We have used it for over 2 years and really love it. DS was RFing until 24.5 months when he got too tall for it, he was 38", 26.8 lbs at his 2 year well check. I never expected to make it to 2 given his height.

    This might be the prettiest car seat I've ever seen. Click on the "spring" pattern if it doesn't automatically show up.

    I bought this in Shadow when it was 20% off. Spring is very pretty though.

    Love our older model radian! Definitely getting the newer version when needed... They are heavy though with the metal frame

    Right now I am leaning toward the diono radian. I like that it is slim; I drive a compact SUV. Also, I like the higher weight limit for rear facing.

    For reference: I have a Honda Accord, and my Britax Roundabout takes up less space than my Graco SnugRide. I was able to scoot the seat back at least two (maybe three) notches.

    I know someone already mentioned it, but we just bought a Nautilus for DD1 because it only faces forward and is used like a booster, you cannot install it rear facing.

    For a convertible seat, I love Britax. We have two Britax Boulevards and they take up less space then the infant seat because they aren't as reclined.

    eta: I have found good sale prices for Britax on Amazon and albeebaby.com.

    This!  We're most likely getting a Britax Marathon70-G3, and albeebaby.com has them the cheapest anywhere I saw (besides Amazon).
