To keep your child safe, the Roundabout 50 includes Side Impact Protection, which is a system composed of the rigid seat shell, the deep side walls, and energy-absorbing foam lining the shell that work together to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body.
Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
In addition to side impact protection, the Roundabout 50 offers a variety of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing children, its tangle free, five-point harness offers four harness heights and three buckle positions for a snug and secure fit.
Superior Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the Roundabout 50 reclines in both the forward and rear position. With additional features which include high-density comfort foam for extra padding, and a plush cover set with a matching belly pad for comfort, they'll always ride in style and comfort.
Superior Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the Roundabout 50 makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without guesswork. Premium, push-button lower LATCH connectors make for quick, simple, and tight installation.
Additionally, a small contoured base ensures a tight installation in all types of vehicle seats. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you're placing your child in the seat, and a front harness adjuster makes it easy to loosen and adjust the harness system.
The Roundabout 50 Convertible Car Seat is available in the following patterns: Berkshire Gray, Onyx, and Pistachio.
The Britax Roundabout 50 Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

-As another reviewer mentioned, the buckle is too low and definitely pinches my son's thighs from time to time when I'm fastening him in.
-The LATCH tethers aren't long enough to reach the hooks in the forward facing position in all cars. It's just unbelievable! For example, when I've tried to install the seat using the LATCH system in my friend's Toyota minivan, the LATCH straps just won't reach the hooks. I have to use the shoulder belt instead. Couldn't they have just made the straps a couple of inches longer?!?!
-When installing the seat using the LATCH system, it can be incredibly hard to tighten the straps such that the seat feels secure. I end up sitting IN the seat and pulling and tugging on the straps for 10 minutes before it's tight enough, and then I still use the lap belt since it still wiggles around too much.
The good:
The seat seems like it's very comfy for my little one. He used to scream in his old car seat. It's very plush and cushion-y. I'm out on whether or not I like the crotch protector or whatever where the buckle is. There's like a pad between it and the baby. The installation was easy with LATCH. I drive a Kia Rio Cinco which is tiny and it fits pretty well with the passenger seat pulled to the dash board. I like that it has the Velcro harness holders (little tabs of Velcro placed so when the straps aren't being used, it pulls them to the sides) and the buckles are very easy to fasten and unfasten. Overall it's a great seat, just not for small babies.
1. straps at neck seem placed awfully close together (i made some fleece covers to protect babe's neck)
2. the belt clasp between legs is short - would be a lot easier to use if it was a little longer, that said, you get used to it.
