Would that a child’s car seat could evolve with the child, adjusting to junior’s changing size and needs so you didn’t have to buy a succession of car seats. The forward-facing Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat from Graco is designed to do just that. The five-point harness accommodates children from 20 to 65 pounds — a higher weight limit than most car-seat harnesses. (Children under 20 pounds or less than 1 year old should be in rear-facing car seats). As the child grows, the Nautilus can be converted to a high-back booster seat or backless booster for children up to 100 pounds. A height-adjustable headrest, wide, padded armrests, a cup holder and side storage add to user friendliness. The seat has a three-position recline for the best fit in the car and maximum comfort for junior. Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat (BJ00BRV), about $160, , 800-345-4109.
