Product Description
britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat With endorsements from nearly every consumer organization, it's no surprise the
britax Roundabout is one of the most popular car seats to date.
britax has improved upon this popular convertible car seat by introducing the LATCH system. The Roundabout car seat is the MVP's MVP as it fits just about every car and is super easy to install.
britax outdid itself with the introduction of this
britax car seat The
britax Roundabout features the LATCH lock system which is a necessity in today's car seat. LATCH makes installation simple and safe while ensuring the baby car seat is installed properly every time. This seat may be the easiest to install....ever. Anchors, installed in the car previously, connect with LATCH connectors to ensure proper
britax car seat installation. It also features the
britax patented Versa-Tether system and EPS impact foam which helps keep baby safe in the head and torso areas. The Roundabout is very similar to the
britax Marathon and the two very well may be big brother, little brother. The Marathon is just as comfortable as the Roundabout convertible car seat but, like big bro, has a higher weight limit. The Marathon is also bigger and does not fit into every car seat rear facing. When engineers began designing car seats, they wanted one that combined all elements of safety and comfort. The
britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat is exactly what they were dreaming of.
We bought this car seat for my 6 month old daughter. She LOVES it. It is very comfortable. The print is adorable and the fabric is very soft. The seat is versatile in that is reclines and sits straight. She loves taking car rides and is perfectly content in her new seat. I was a little concerned that Britax seats are known to be a little on the larger side. We have an Xterra and it fits just perfect. Easy to install and easy to clean with the removable/washable cover. I would totally recomend this carseat to others.
We've used this car seat from birth. My daughter is 24 lbs and 21 months, and we still have her rear-facing. There are numerous studies in the Injury Prevention Journal indicating this is the safest position for her.
We had the seat professional installed and it worked perfect for our almost 8 lbs newborn daughter. She left the hospital in this seat, and we've been 100% pleased.
I've washed the cover twice in a year and a half. I washed it on cold and hung it to dry. It is easy to take on and put off. I've installed the seat in several other cars due to traveling and it couldn't be easier. I know it's safe. It's obvious she's comfortable as she doesn't fuss when we put her in it.
I felt compelled to write this review because I saw someone else said you couldn't use it for a newborn. YES, you can. It's rated as such and it worked great.
The reason I purchased this seat was easy, we have one and loved it and we needed another for our other vehicle. Thank you, Ben Creske
I have a 8 month old who has outgorn her carrier. She seems to really like her new Britax car seat...she is very comfortable! We bought two for ourselves and one for her grandparents!
Decent seat, but I should have bought the Marathon! My kid is tall, so I had to turn him forward at 18 mos because his head was over the shell. (AAP guidelines say keep your kid rear-facing till 2 years - do some research and you will be saddened at what the "authorities" suggest by turning your kid at 1yr/20lbs) Now, he's almost 2 and the shoulder straps are at the highest setting. I anticipate he will outgrow the seat in the next 6 months or less. Had I spent the extra $50 on the Marathon it would have lasted him two more years. The straps are not padded and get twisted quite easily. If your kid is a peanut, then this might work out for you, but if you have an average to large kid GET THE MARATHON!!!
We love our new carseat. I have a smaller car (WV Jetta) and it is a good fit in the backseat. My 11 month old really likes it too. I love the LATCH system and feel it is much safer. Read the reviews. It is the best car seat out there. Buy one today!
We're so happy with this carseat! It is way easy to install. We have an Eddie Bauer for our 3 year old and bought this seat for our 10 month old. The Britax is just all around BETTER! Now I want to get our 3 year old a new car seat. Great product, definitely worth the price!
I purchased this car seat about a month ago for my now 8 month old daughter who weighs approx. 21 pounds and I think is about 27 1/2 inches tall. She was in the Graco Safeseat but was getting too heavy to lug around (I am a petite 5' 2"). Also, I drive a Honda Element, and because of the way my car is designed it was very difficult to get her infant carrier in and out without hurting myself.
I will cover the things I like about this seat first:
First of all, I got this car seat in the mail the DAY AFTER I ordered it, which of course is extremely fast (not to mention I think I ordered it in the evening)! The seat is cushy with nice padding, and has a nice padded flap that goes between the seat buckle and baby's legs- a nice addition that keeps the hot buckle in a summer-toasty car from burning little one's legs, a concern for moms with little girls in dresses. There are velcro patches on either side of the seat for the straps to stick to so they stay out of your way while getting baby in or out, also a nice convenience. The seat was SO easy to install, it took seconds; we have had to take it in and out several times with no problem at all.
What I don't like about this seat is:
The seat itself (where baby's bottom is) seems a little shallow, or short, and I am concerned about how long my daughter will fit in it. It seems like her tush does not have much room to grow because there is little space between the seat belt buckle and the back of the seat. Along the same lines, my daughter's chunky legs seem a little squeezed by the straps, and I have to play with them a bit to make sure she is not getting pinched. It seems to fit okay, but I feel like I need to check, double-check, and tug at the straps a little around her legs before I am convinced she is comfortable. The straps also DO seem to twist easily. I read many reviews that said they do not get twisted, but I am finding that I have to untwist them nearly every time I put my daughter in it. For me, compared with her infant carrier (which the straps never twisted on me once), they do this a lot. As I said before, I drive a Honda Element. It is very awkward to use a car seat with my car, and this is not the car seat's fault at all. However, with the seat installed, I can hardly see out of the back passenger windows when I am changing lanes, backing up, etc. (because of the way the car is made, I have to put the seat on the rear passenger side seat, it is impossible to get a rear-facing child in and out of the seat on the driver's side without climbing into the car from the other side) I didn't think the seat was very big as far as what is available, so this surprised me a little. However, I am confident this is just an issue with my car, not the seat. This last problem is really just a warning to other Element drivers- we are now shopping for a different car because of the incredible pain it is.
So in conclusion, great seat overall, but maybe think twice or test one in the store first if you have a chunky baby like I do, and just don't have a baby if you drive an element :)
We bought this seat in part based on its positive reviews. However, we were disappointed to find that it was impossible to make the seat work in the rear facing position in our car (2008 Jeep Liberty). Not difficult mind you - impossible. Particularly frustrating was that the installation videos at the Britax web site show a seat with features ours does not have (the straps in the video use some sort of rail system to increase leverage - totally absent out our version). We did get the seat to work in the forward facing position, however it is a great mystery how one would ever actually use the recline function once the seat is installed. A seat with room to recline would be too loose. So after much aggravation we now have a forward facing seat with a useless recline feature. For a while we were wondering if we had a knockoff of some kind. Very disappointing.
Cute product. Comfortable for baby. Can be used from 5 lbs. to 40 lbs. I also own a Britax Marathon which can be used from 5 lbs. up to 65 lbs. At times I do question whether or not I should have just bought 2 Marathons since they can be used for children all the way up to 65 lbs. HOWEVER, the Roundabout is definitely good for those who have small cars! And by the time my child is 40 lbs I will probably be ready for a safety seat change anyway with all the nugget mess it acquires!
