The Roundabout features a quick and easy installation with either LATCH or traditional seatbelts. (Tan Swirl color shown.) View larger. | Quick and Easy Installation
Easy to install correctly, regardless of whether your vehicle is LATCH compatible or not, the Roundabout takes the guesswork out of installation so you know your child is safely positioned on every trip. The Roundabout features a tangle-free, five-point harness made with rough and tough polyester webbing to resist wear and tear. The push-button LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors help tightly secure your child quickly and easily so you won't have to worry about struggling with endless straps and complicated procedures, and convenient belt holders keep the harness to the side so you can place the child in the seat. Additionally, the harness offers three adjustable shoulder height positions for a snug fit over the shoulders, collarbone, and hips. Finally, the Roundabout provides built-in lock-off clips that keep the seat tightly in place when using only traditional seatbelts at installation. A simple handle pull allows the car seat base to be easily reclined when rear-facing, and the one-pull harness strap adjuster makes for a quick, easy, and secure fit every time. HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Roundabout truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip. Versa-Tether for Additional Security
The Roundabout also offers Britax's patented Versa-Tether, an anchor aid that provides additional security in the forward facing position for children weighing more than 50 pounds. The Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory-installed automobile anchor points, minimizing the possibility of a head injury in the event of impact. Weighing only 14 pounds when empty, and measuring 18.25 x 25 x 23.5 inches (WxHxD), the Roundabout is incredibly comfortable. For added convenience, it is certified for air travel. The Roundabout comes with a limited 1-year limited warranty. The Roundabout is also available in the following colors: Onyx, Granite, Cowmooflage, New Denim, and Tan Swirl.

Best Car SeatJul 24, 2008
We started off with the Graco Snugfit and my son surpassed the weight limit by the time he was 5 months, yes he's a big boy. I wish we would have just started off with this car seat. My son is comfortable and loves the cow print.
The Best!Jul 24, 2008
I would strongly recommend this product for anyone. It is easy to intall in the car or many cars if you have to move it. It is very adjustable, convienent to change for heighth positions, comfortable for the children and easy to clean. The harness fits very well and hold the child securely. I have two of these for both my children since the first one loves her so much. They are also great because they have the roof teather which makes you feel like they are even more secure. Have used in my 1973 Duster, 2002 Jeep and other vehicles with no problems. Makes me feel safer knowing my children are safe.

 Not bad, but expensiveJul 20, 2008
On the plus side, the seat is very easy to install, which is great if you move it between cars like we do. The latch system is especially easy, and it's very easy to adjust. This seat seems very comfortable, my son falls asleep very easily. The material is soft, however it is NOT machine washable. The other big negative is the straps get twisted all the time. There is velcro on the lower part of the strap, which keeps it in place and out of the way when you're putting baby in, but the shoulder straps are constantly twisted and not easy to fix with a wriggling baby. I'm not sure we'd buy this one again, I think we'd try something new.
Fantastic car seatJul 16, 2008
We purchased this car seat for our then 1-month old daughter. We had another Britax car seat when our oldest was little, and decided to go back to them after we had tried other, less expensive models/makers.
You would be hard pressed to find a car seat that is more user-friendly. The design of the buckles (our biggest consideration), the ease of adjustment, the durability, and the ease of cleaning simply cannot be beat. I have not used, or seen, another car seat that even comes close. And the safety ratings simply speak for themselves.
It is a very high-priced car seat, but what is the knowledge that your little one is comfortable, snug, and SAFE worth?
Do yourself a favor and go get this car seat. You will not be disappointed!

A Great Item for BabyJul 14, 2008
My grandson just turned one, and we love this car seat. He seems to find it very comfortable--in fact he almost always falls asleep just a few minutes into a ride. He is much cooler in the seat, and loves facing forward. Very easy to install and use. A definite keeper!
