Graco mommies.....

soooo we are replacing the car seats.... so I was thinking of getting these... I just cant decide.....

This one will more than likely be for David and Nathan - Nathan is 42 inches and 34 lbs. David is 42 inches and 38 lbs. I LOVE that it offers the 5 pt harness up to 65 lbs!!

and I haven't decided between that one or this one for Brian... I have heard MANY people say the My ride is bulky - trying to turn rear-facing.. our delima with the durango it.... rear-facing ANY seat is too wide to fit in the center seat properly... so the ONLY place it can fit rear facing is behind the driver or passenger.... which is fine and good... EXCEPT whichever seat it's behind gets shoved WAY up... the passenger seat is seriously SOOOO far your knees are pushed into the dash. I weighed Brian today and if our scales are right (he's knocking on 25 lbs :baby:) he's had a HUGE growth spurt! The My ride is fwd facing too and... i REALLY like the pattern.. but it doesnt really make sense to buy that one for the big boys....... lol did ANY of that make sense... ?? Anyone have these seats?? Whats your opinion???

i have the my ride just got it for qwill and i do like it. It is a little bulky but so worth it its very cushy for them and if they fall asleep it doesnt make it like they are breaking there neck lol. i really like it

[<3 Susan <3]

I have 3 friends with teh Nautilus and they LOVE it....

[4BlueBlessings]

thanks ladies!! My ? I guess is... should I get Brian the my ride or nautilus?

[<3 Susan <3]

The nautilus is more for bi kids i thoght..... like i wouldt consider putting my 8 mth old in teh nautilus but i am considering the my ride for her

[Keren]

Do they have to be graco? I really do like the nautilus, which is what i plan on getting for Zach when he outgrows what he has now, but instead of getting the my ride i would go with something like the evenflo triumph advance which isnt too bad rear facing and brian will be able to be in it for a while till one of the older boys moves out of a carset and he can go into on of the nautilus'

[Marissa]

How old is Brian?

[EthanNLillysmama]

17 MTHS i think. Hes just about 2 mths older than ethan. I thought you were getting an evenflo titan elite? thats what ethan has.

we HAVE the evenflo titan elite for all the little boys right now.. I was kinda wanting to upgrade to the Graco's. The Nautilus is forward facing only. I looked at the my ride today and I think I will probably get that for Brian.. I don't really care for the shape of it.. but I guess that shouldnt matter... lol ..

Marrissa he is 17 months old =)

[EthanNLillysmama]

Oh ok lol

[alioop]

I have both and love them both! I would suggest the MyRide for your little guy so he can stay RFing. :)

we ended up going with the nautilus with Brian .... we tested the MY ride and it honestly was wayyyyy to large for our vehicle.
