Recommendation
After analyzing the features of the Graco Size4Me 65 and the Graco Nautilus 65 we think the better car seat is the Graco Nautilus 65. It has the benefit of being used by your child for longer as it can grow further with them than the SIze4Me 65.
The Size4Me is still a good choice for a smaller child but doesn’t have the benefit of being converted into a booster for older children. The Nautilus 65 also has extra comfort features and will take up less room in your vehicle.
