Side Impact Protection for Added SecurityTo keep your child safe, the Roundabout 50 includes Side Impact Protection, which is a system composed of the rigid seat shell, the deep side walls, and energy-absorbing foam lining the shell that work together to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body.
Superior Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the Roundabout 50 reclines in both the forward and rear position. With additional features which include high-density comfort foam for extra padding, and a plush cover set with a matching belly pad for comfort, they'll always ride in style and comfort.
Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
In addition to side impact protection, the Roundabout offers a variety of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing children, its tangle free, five-point harness offers three harness heights for a snug and secure fit.
Superior Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the Roundabout makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without guesswork. Premium, push-button lower LATCH connectors make for quick, simple, and tight installation. Built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt and prevent the seat from moving more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
Additionally, a small contoured base ensures a tight installation in all types of vehicle seats. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you're placing your child in the seat, and a front harness adjuster makes it easy to loosen and adjust the harness system.
Compact Design
Measuring 17.7x 24.1 x 22.0 inches (W x H x D), the Roundabout is compact enough to fit in vehicles with limited rear-seat space.
The Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

| We love this car seat! | 2010-07-16 | 5 / 5 |

| This is a great car seat! We bought it because it was listed on a website to fit our minivan (we previously had problems with our other car seat fitting behind the passenger seat in our van rear-facing. It is much nicer than the Alpha Omega and Gracos we own. We purchased it because one of the colors was on clearance, which made it a great value and we're hooked. I wish we could afford to replace all of our carseats with this one (we have 4, 2 in each vehicle). It is easy to install and my son loves it. Britax thought of a lot of small things that make using this car seat much easier. |
| If you want a rear-facing seat for a long time go with the Marathon | 2010-06-29 | 3 / 5 |

I am a HUGE fan of Britax. I have had my 16 month old daughter in a Marathon since she was 10 months. I am very passionate about rear-facing to the max weight. I ordered the roundabout for a trip because I thought it would be a little easier to lug around the airport than my daughters Marathon. Also we are pregnant and I figured we could use this for baby #2. When I got the seat I instantly loved it. The Onyx color looks nice..the fabric feels nice and would clean up easily. Here's the problem...my daughter is 16 months now and weighs only 22 pounds. This carseat sits rear-facing up to 35 pounds. She is only 25% for her height and she is at the max height for rear-facing in this seat. They can only sit rear-facing when there is 1 inch or more from the top of the seat to the top of their head. Sure, she can use it now, but obviously she would never make it to 35 pounds rear-facing. So basically this is a great seat, however, if you are concerned about having your child rear-facing as long as possible (which you should..type in rear-facing vs. forward facing on youtube and see the crash test results...if that doesnt convince you I dont know what will) this is not the seat for you. Go with the Marathon. My daughter has at least 4-5 inches left in her Marathon for rear-facing. Plus the marathon goes to 65 pounds forward-facing where the roundabout goes to 40. The roundabout is great for smaller cars so you have to do what you have to do. Just thought maybe this would help someone. I wish I had known this before. I returned the Roundabout to (which they are awesome with returns). I will lug her marathon on the trip and be ordering another marathon for baby #2.
Good luck with your carseat choice. Whatever you get just make sure its installed properly. Take the time to take it to a certified station where they can check your carseat installation. Also the chest clip goes at the armpits..not lower. I swear..I have yet to see any of my friends put their kids in the seat right. Its not worth it to not do it right. |
| Nice convertible. | 2010-06-22 | 4 / 5 |

| Britax is great. The velcro on the straps is a super nice feature that I didn't realize I was missing in our other convertible. We have this rear facing, and it works much better than the other one at this also. No cup holders, which I would like. |
| Great Car Seat | 2010-06-17 | 5 / 5 |

| This car seat has been wonderful. We have only had the seat for a few months but the true test was a 20 hr drive to Florida and a 20 hr drive home. We drove straight through both ways and my daughter was super comfortable and HAPPY. She did great going both ways and the level of recline was perfect for her to get good sleep in the seat. We plan to use this with baby number two as well who will be joining us in the next 6 months. |
| Very satisfied | 2010-06-07 | 5 / 5 |
|
| This product is very well reviewed, and it met all my expectations. One of the highlights is that WHEN (not if) a child falls asleep in this their head doesn't slump foreward. It is extremely easy to install and tightens best when putting your adult weight into it with a knee in the seat. I wish it came w/ a cup holder, but there are probably suitable aftermarket add-ons that would work just fine. |
