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: Granite, Cowmooflage, New Denim, Tan Swirl, and Jessica.

Best seat ever November 15, 2008
K. Whitener (Northwest, WA)
I just passed this seat down to my 7 month old and upgrade my 2 year old to a marathon. This carseat has held up beautifully! I bought a new cover so the two year old didn't know that her sister had her old carseat ;) It fits nicely forward and rear facing. It is super easy to transfer between cars, and it is so easy to install!! I don't know what I would do without my Britax carseats!! I am so happy I decided to invest in them. I feel that my children are very safe and happy too!
Great car seat! November 14, 2008
Jennifer J. Kirk
This is our second Roundabout. We had one for our first child and loved it, so we bought the same seat for the second baby. It's safe, good looking and wears well.
Green Seat November 8, 2008
T. Baker (SF, CA)
This is a great car seat. As with other reviewers, I researched ton of options. I loved the snugfit and dreaded moving to a convertible. However, my 8 month old really enjoys this seat. She acts like a big girl. The ease of installation and the push button strap adjustment are my favorite features. Safety was a must have (see consumer reports). In addition to all of this, the Roundabout also received the lowest rating for toxic chemicals. See http://www.healthycar.org/carseat.searchmodel.php
 pretty good October 31, 2008
BaBuLu (MD, USA)
1. easy to install but need to read the instructions through;
2. pretty comfortable but my 15-month only fall asleep twice in the car; too excited to see the view; we put him in the middle of the back seat.
3.feels sturdy;
4.in all, like it very much.
Best car seat buy...Highly recommended! October 27, 2008
Monica Main (Valencia, CA USA)
With so many car seats out there I wasn't sure what to buy. I tediously went through every car seat for sale through Amazon and painstakenly read through ever review.
I'm glad I bought this car seat. My baby is just under 4 months and I felt that she was getting to be too big for the infant carrier I had. And I had to try something new because a simple short trip turned into a cry-fest every single time!
My baby went from always crying to being completely calm and even sleeping in the car on our trips! It fits well in the backseat of a BMW 5-series and a Mercedes E-class. I like the suede feel of the fabric as well as the fun colors of the Jessica print I picked out. It's very easy to install and it's a safe, sturdy car set.
If you are balking at the price, get this anyway. It will last for several years to come and you can't put a price on safety as well as a quiet, happy baby on short and long car trips.
