Amazon.com Product Description
Britax International has been manufacturing innovative, industry-leading child products for over three decades. Their dedication to safety, comfort, and convenience is certainly apparent in this convertible car seat. The Roundabout has enough features for baby and parents to run rings around the competition.

Safety first is a good rule of thumb, and one that Britax certainly heeds. The Roundabout offers features you might find on many other car seats, such as convertibility, a five-point harness, and the LATCH system. But Britax enhanced and then went above and beyond the norm when creating the functional and fashionable Roundabout.

One-pull harness strap adjuster makes for a quick, easy, and snug fit every time.

Their five-point harness system is made with strong polyester webbing, fits snugly over baby's shoulders, collarbone and hips to provide a secure fit, and the straps are designed to remain tangle free. There are also three adjustable shoulder height positions so the car seat grows with baby. A patented "floating" HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.

Located near a vehicle's seatbelts, factory installed anchor points provide a secure and easy LATCH connection. In conjunction with this push-button release system, the Roundabout also offers Britax's Versa-Tether®, an anchor aid that works both rear- and forward-facing and prevents the seat from tilting in the event of an impact.

Need more? 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. The one-pull harness strap adjuster makes for a quick, easy, and snug fit every time. A comfy ride is guaranteed for baby through the special EPS impact foam padding and soft fabric cover, which is removable and washable. The Roundabout is Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 compliant, making it approved for use on airplanes as well.

A simple handle pull allows the car seat base to be reclined when rear-facing.

The Roundabout's versatile, contoured base means it will easily fit in almost every car, and can be positioned correctly every time, regardless of whether your vehicle is LATCH compatible or not. The car seat measures 18.25"W x 25"H x 23.5"D and weighs just less than 14 pounds when empty. Since car seats are mandated by law, it's nice to know that Britax is at least making the decision simple. The Roundabout is easy to install, super comfortable for baby, available in a range of colors and patterns, and, most importantly, safe!

Comparing Britax Car Seats
If you're debating between the Britax Roundabout and the Britax Marathon, think of the latter as the big brother. They are identical in comfort and convenience features, but the Marathon has a higher weight maximum and is larger than the Roundabout.

Customer Reviews

Fits great in our Toyota Prius
We have it in the rear passenger side and it fits great. Still leaves plenty of legroom for the front passenger. The seat material is very soft and comfortable. The belts and buckles are easy to use. There are velcro patches to hold down the seat belts when baby is not in the seat. This makes it so convenient to put baby into the seat! No more having to struggle with pushing aside the seat belt so she doesn't end up sitting on it, or trying to pull it out from under her butt. Installation seemed pretty simple too, especially with LATCH (my husband did the installing so I can't speak to this part 100%). We're using it rear facing right now for our 6 mo. old.

I was deciding between the Marathon and this one. I am glad I chose this one b/c I don't like the idea of a super large car seat like the Marathon. But it will depend on how quickly your baby grows. Mine is only 15.5 lbs. at 6 mos. so I figure I have a while before she reaches the 40 lb. limit and moves onto a booster seat, whereas I have a friend whose 5 mo. baby is already 18 lbs. so she probably should go with the Marathon. Just my opinion though.

very easy to use
After getting a lesser quality Even Flo Triumph, my husband and I got the Britax roundabout. We couldnt be happier with this seat, it's very easy to install, and very easy to adjust your child in. Britax also has quite the reputation for saftey and quality, I only wish I had bought this seat sooner and not wasted my time and money on an inferior brand that had many design flaws. Save your money and buy this seat, you won't be sorry.

satisfied!!
After reading extensive reviews on many car seats, the Britax name stood out time after time in ease of use, easy installation, comfort, and safety ratings. I was a little apprehensive about spending all that money, but knew that this carseat would be used for at least the next two years and would be worth it.
I can get baby in and out very quickly because the straps are out of the way on their velcro piece and the harness is so easy to snap and unsnap. The straps took a little time to figure out the loosening and tightening, but once you get it, it's fine.

It is also very quick and easy to install into vehicles. We recently flew with it (the airline lost it for the first two days AGHHHH!) and we just latched it in to the rental car and got going. No fuss, no tugging.
I had to purchase this because my 6 month old outgrew her Graco carseat so quickly and now I am thinking that I should have spent the little extra $ and purchased the Marathon since it is a little bigger and would probably be of use a little longer! Still, I am definitely pleased and very satisfied with this great carseat.
