Update on the Graco Nautilus 1-2-3

Sorry I haven't written in awhile.
We have been giving the Car Seat a chance, using it on a daily basis.
My daughter is now 2 and loves her car seat. The cup holder holds her dummy, her comfort blanket and when empty her juice bottle. She isn't really interested in the secret side compartments unless she loses something in them. I can still say that I am really impressed with how easy it is to get the covers off to wash following a few nappy accidents and putting them back on is so easy.
As they advertise this car seat from a young age I would expect the tilt to be greater than it is, to stop your childs head tipping forward when they are asleep. When my daughter falls asleep her head always slumps forward in this car seat. I wonder whether they should put the age start from 3 or 4.

Update on the Graco Nautilus 1-2-3

I have been using this car seat since the beginning of July and to sum it up.

It is a really nice car seat and I have had no problems with it, it cleans easily, is easy to put together and take apart and changing it to the older age groups is straightforward. There is one downside which is the recline, there is not much movement and when my daughter falls asleep her head does slump forward and I rectify this with a neck cushion.

The cup holder is a really good idea, it holds a dummy, sweets and her drinks bottle but not all at the same time, she has yet to discover the 2 side small storage areas under the arm rests. This is a good place to put small toys or even hold a packet of food.

My daughter will be able to use this car seat until she no longer needs one when she is about 12 years old.

Please can you take my poll to the right of the page, this will help with feedback for my review.
