Britax Roundabout 50 Convertible Car Seat (Berkshire Gray)
Side Impact Protection for Added Security
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars (4.5 stars) A very good choice for safety and value, June 23, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The new Roundabout 50 is a very useful addition to the Britax line, if it matches what you're looking for. It's a somewhat compact seat with the safety and convenience features Britax offers (though with a couple convenience feature changes). And it's Roundabout-level price makes it a very good value, as a safe seat that will have a long useful life.

The notable differences vs. the original Roundabout is that this model can handle a child of up to 50 lbs, and up to 49 inches in height. (The original Roundabout was 40 lbs and 40 inches.) Given that a lot of children will outgrow the height of the chair before they outgrow the weight, this provides another somewhat compact option for parents, and lengthens the amount of time the chair is useful.

By the way, this seat is a "Roundabout" only in concept - a somewhat compact, moderately priced seat (compared to the rest of the Britax line). It isn't physically a version of the original Roundabout. Reportedly...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, yes, yes-- THE car seat for precious cargo, November 12, 2009
By 
J. Turner (BFT, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When our son was ready to transition from his infant carrier to a convertible ("big boy") car seat, we read all the Consumer Reports, asked friends and relatives, and then went to BRU to "test drive" all of them with our son. Suffice to say, we selected this seat, no question-- it was absolutely the best, hands-down. We wanted something that could keep him harnessed longer, and accomodate a higher height than most of the other convertibles. AND, it had to be able to fit in my compact car. Remember that the weight limit is not as useful a measure of the lifespan of the seat as the height limit is-- unless you have a really rotund kid, they are going to hit 48 inches well before they hit the 50 lb. weight limit.

Unlike other seats on the market, the buckles on the Britax models are SO much sturdier and clip securely. With other seats, I found myself squeezing and squeezing the buckles just to get it "snapped" in properly-- and this without even inserting the wiggling 7...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Roundabout, September 9, 2009
By

This review is from: Britax Roundabout 50 Convertible Car Seat, Berkshire Gray (Baby Product)
I have a Roundabout in one car and this Roundabout 50 in the other car. I bought the Roundabout before the 50 came out, but I wish I had waited so I could have bought 2 of these. The 50 has 3 positions for the bottom belt. My son is in the 90th percentile, so having the option to move the belt a little forward is important. The belt on the Roundabout always leaves a mark on his leg, but it doesn't on the 50. If you're deciding between the two, pay a little extra for the 50!
