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.

 Great car seat March 10, 2010
M. Barry (Santa Barbara, CA United States)
We already had one of these and liked it so much that we bought a second one for our other car. We tried a Graco car seat but it wouldn't fit in either of our cars. Actually, it was such an odd shape I couldn't see how it would fit in any car. This one is perfect and from all the research we did, we found it was one of the safest and best reviewed.
Finally a Lifesaver! February 25, 2010

I researched over and over on the internet and everywhere else for the perfect car seat and after reading all the great reviews on this Britax Roundabout I wasted not another minute and ordered it right away. Of course I was nervous if it was just another let down but to my surprise it's Great! The velcro seat belts really help when trying to put baby in car seat. I can actually see out my back window because like all others I tried this one fits in my small chevy aveo perfect. My baby loves it.
Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Go out and get yourself one of these!
 Hardly Any Complaints -- Soft Cover, Reliable, and Easy to Use! February 25, 2010
H. Gerety (Colorado)

This has proven a good, sturdy car seat for baby, and we look forward to using it for a loooong time -- it can face both backwards and forwards, so we won't need to buy two car seats for her.
Since we didn't plan on carrying her around in a car seat at all, this was the car seat for us.
The only thing was that when she was smaller, we couldn't figure out a way to make the seat recline a little more for her (that could be the way our seats are -- we have a '97 Audi station wagon), so we ended up sticking a swimming noodle underneath it. This probably isn't company-advised, but it did work for us; it wouldn't have prevented us choosing this car seat even had we known the reclining issue ahead of time.
My sister-in-law used the same seat with her son, and her only complaint was that you can't buy a new cover separately -- so if you ever need to wash it, you just have to wait (and I believe you need to hang-dry it). This hasn't been an issue for us, at least not yet, as we haven't had to wash it.
It's also made of really soft material, and the straps are very quickly adjustable -- I can't stress how important that aspect is, living in Colorado where the morning will require a snowsuit for baby, and then by mid-afternoon it's almost fifty degrees!
Amazing Car Seat February 20, 2010

Like the other purchasers who have reviewed, we did a LOT of research before picking this car seat. The safety ratings and reputation of Britax made the difference for us. Some of our friends have used other Britax models, and they all loved them. We purchased one for each of our cars and they have been great. Easy to adjust as our daughter has grown and still comfortable for her. This is really a great car seat.
Perfect Size Car Seat February 19, 2010

I purchased this after my oldest daughter told me how great Britax car seats were and that this one was the perfect size - Not so big that it takes up the whole back seat, but plenty big for the kids. We still have our 15 mo. old granddaughter facing backwards in the back seat. I love this so much that I also bought another one for my second daughter to use in her car. And this one was very affordable as well. We couldn't be happier.
