 Side Impact Protection distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, and contains the head and body |  Tangle-free, five-point harness with 4 harness heights and 3 buckle positions for a snug and secure fit | Convertible Car Seat: Practical and Economical
The Roundabout 50 is a convertible car seat, which means that it can be used in both rear-facing and forward-facing configurations. Infants are required by law to sit in a rear-facing position until the age of one and until they weigh over 20 pounds. After that, they can sit in a forward-facing car seat. Rather than spending your money on separate seats for each configuration, you can economize by meeting the needs of each stage with the Roundabout 50. The Roundabout 50 has higher weight limits than many other car seats, allowing infants between five and 35 pounds to ride in the rear-facing position and toddlers up to 50 pounds in the forward-facing position. These higher weight limits extend the seat's usability and make it more practical, more economical, and also more comfortable to use with larger children. Side Impact Protection and Other Safety Features
Several premier safety features work together in the Roundabout 50 to keep your child safe. For starters, the seat is designed with Side Impact Protection, which means that the seat's deep side walls are padded with energy-absorbing foam. Not only do these side wings provide stabilization for your child's head and neck, they're designed to distribute forces created by impact and to shield your child in the event of a crash. The seat also features high-density, energy-managing foam throughout, which not only offers protection but also a comfortable, padded ride for your child. The Roundabout 50 features the patented Versa-Tether, which tethers the seat at two top-located points. This unique system is designed to minimize forward movement when the car stops suddenly. It also can be used for seat stabilization in the rear-facing configuration. An additional feature of the Roundabout 50 is its innovative energy-absorbing base that is contoured to fit most vehicles. Comfortable, Stylish, and Convenient
Yes, the Roundabout 50 is safe and versatile, but it's also designed to give your child a cushioned and comfortable ride. High-density foam offers plush padding, while rear- and forward-facing recline functions let you position the seat to your child's comfort, making the Roundabout 50 an ideal choice for long trips. And the plush, washable cover comes with matching comfort and belly pads to keep your child extra-snug. The seat is built with parents in mind, too. Moms and dads will appreciate the tangle-free five-point harness, as well as the belt holders that hold the harness out of the way while parents place their child in the seat. Four adjustable heights and three buckle positions make it easy to adjust the belts for a snug, secure fit for your child. The Roundabout 50 installs easily with a premium LATCH connector that's designed for easy, tight, and secure installation. It releases easily with the push of a button. The Roundabout 50 measures 9.5 x 27.5 x 25.5 inches and weighs 15.5 pounds. This product is warranted against defective materials or workmanship for one year from the date of original purchase.

 Best car seat we've owned! March 1, 2010

We purchased this car seat for child #3 and we love it. We wish we had found/invested in Britax from the beginning. We love the ease of securing the seat very tightly, and it is such a plush SAFE ride for our baby!
Extremely well made (4.5 stars) February 24, 2010

I love this car seat. I have my 9 mo old 23 lb. baby in it, and I plan to keep her rear facing until the 35 lb max, which is something I really liked about this seat. I researched and stressed sooo much about what to get, but I am very glad I chose this. Many people have told me Britax is "cream of the crop." It gives me peace of mind to know I didn't skimp on this important decision. It is extremely well designed. Other reviewers have complained about the buckle being underneath the baby. It is a little awkward, I admit, but the fact that the design makes it so extremely easy to tighten and loosen the straps, it hasn't been an issue. She likes this seat and I love the pistachio design. The fabric is soft and seems easy to clean. I also think there is probably enough padding. She has never seemed uncomfortable, however she's never been in it for more than 1-2 hours. I would buy again.

After having 4 children, this is our 8th car seat. We have tried cheap through expensive car seats, always checking safety, comfort, and ease. This one is by far the best quality for the money. It is a NO FRILLS(which usually means something will break or be harder to clean), ADAPTABLE (which usually means hard to adjust), COMFORTABLE (which usually wears out), and EASY TO USE(which usually means, hard to install). The only negative are the installation directions. They are over written and explained, considering that the seat is super easy to install.

When we bought a new car, I decided that is was time to get an additional car seat and since my daughter was almost at the top harness position on her current seat (Evenflo Titan Elite) I started researching car seats for the best one to buy. However, we did not keep the Roundabout 50 because she was so uncomfortable in it. The second we put her in it, she started screaming and would not stop until she was taken out of the car. She has always done well in her other seat. She always seemed to enjoy riding in the car, not getting upset even when put in multiple times a day. The harness strap also dug into her neck a bit making it red (the straps were adjusted correctly at shoulder height).
Even though we did not keep this seat, I give it four stars for construction and ease of installation. It is also a plus that it is made in the USA!
