Amazon.com Product Description
Britax International has been manufacturing innovative, industry-leading child products for over three decades. Their dedication to safety, comfort, and convenience is certainly apparent in this convertible car seat. The Roundabout has enough features for baby and parents to run rings around the competition. Safety first is a good rule of thumb, and one that Britax certainly heeds. The Roundabout offers features you might find on many other car seats, such as convertibility, a five-point harness, and the LATCH system. But Britax enhanced and then went above and beyond the norm when creating the functional and fashionable Roundabout.  | | One-pull harness strap adjuster makes for a quick, easy, and snug fit every time. | Their five-point harness system is made with strong polyester webbing, fits snugly over baby's shoulders, collarbone and hips to provide a secure fit, and the straps are designed to remain tangle free. There are also three adjustable shoulder height positions so the car seat grows with baby. A patented "floating" HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip. Located near a vehicle's seatbelts, factory installed anchor points provide a secure and easy LATCH connection. In conjunction with this push-button release system, the Roundabout also offers Britax's Versa-Tether®, an anchor aid that works both rear- and forward-facing and prevents the seat from tilting in the event of an impact. Need more? 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. The one-pull harness strap adjuster makes for a quick, easy, and snug fit every time. A comfy ride is guaranteed for baby through the special EPS impact foam padding and soft fabric cover, which is removable and washable. The Roundabout is Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 compliant, making it approved for use on airplanes as well.  | | A simple handle pull allows the car seat base to be reclined when rear-facing. | The Roundabout's versatile, contoured base means it will easily fit in almost every car, and can be positioned correctly every time, regardless of whether your vehicle is LATCH compatible or not. The car seat measures 18.25"W x 25"H x 23.5"D and weighs just less than 14 pounds when empty. Since car seats are mandated by law, it's nice to know that Britax is at least making the decision simple. The Roundabout is easy to install, super comfortable for baby, available in a range of colors and patterns, and, most importantly, safe! Comparing Britax Car Seats
If you're debating between the Britax Roundabout and the Britax Marathon, think of the latter as the big brother. They are identical in comfort and convenience features, but the Marathon has a higher weight maximum and is larger than the Roundabout.

Summary: Fits great in our Toyota Prius 2007-11-14
Comment: We have it in the rear passenger side and it fits great. Still leaves plenty of legroom for the front passenger. The seat material is very soft and comfortable. The belts and buckles are easy to use. There are velcro patches to hold down the seat belts when baby is not in the seat. This makes it so convenient to put baby into the seat! No more having to struggle with pushing aside the seat belt so she doesn't end up sitting on it, or trying to pull it out from under her butt. Installation seemed pretty simple too, especially with LATCH (my husband did the installing so I can't speak to this part 100%). We're using it rear facing right now for our 6 mo. old.
I was deciding between the Marathon and this one. I am glad I chose this one b/c I don't like the idea of a super large car seat like the Marathon. But it will depend on how quickly your baby grows. Mine is only 15.5 lbs. at 6 mos. so I figure I have a while before she reaches the 40 lb. limit and moves onto a booster seat, whereas I have a friend whose 5 mo. baby is already 18 lbs. so she probably should go with the Marathon. Just my opinion though.

Summary: very easy to use 2007-10-24
Comment: After getting a lesser quality Even Flo Triumph, my husband and I got the Britax roundabout. We couldnt be happier with this seat, it's very easy to install, and very easy to adjust your child in. Britax also has quite the reputation for saftey and quality, I only wish I had bought this seat sooner and not wasted my time and money on an inferior brand that had many design flaws. Save your money and buy this seat, you won't be sorry.

Summary: satisfied!! 2007-09-07
Comment: After reading extensive reviews on many car seats, the Britax name stood out time after time in ease of use, easy installation, comfort, and safety ratings. I was a little apprehensive about spending all that money, but knew that this carseat would be used for at least the next two years and would be worth it.
I can get baby in and out very quickly because the straps are out of the way on their velcro piece and the harness is so easy to snap and unsnap. The straps took a little time to figure out the loosening and tightening, but once you get it, it's fine.
It is also very quick and easy to install into vehicles. We recently flew with it (the airline lost it for the first two days AGHHHH!) and we just latched it in to the rental car and got going. No fuss, no tugging.
I had to purchase this because my 6 month old outgrew her Graco carseat so quickly and now I am thinking that I should have spent the little extra $ and purchased the Marathon since it is a little bigger and would probably be of use a little longer! Still, I am definitely pleased and very satisfied with this great carseat.

Summary: Excellent seat but consider the Decathlon or Marathon 2007-08-15
Comment: This is a great seat and we bought two of them for our two cars when
our first born was about 1 yr old. He is now 3.5 yrs and grown out of
it at only 32 lbs (seat rated to 40 lbs). You may want to consider buying
the Marathon or Decathlon instead (rated to 65 lbs).
The reason is that the shoulder
strap holes on the Roundabout are no longer at or above my son's
shoulder so he cannot use it anymore. Since he is not yet 40 lbs,
he cannot use a booster seat (new OR law) so we now have to buy him
two more car seats. We couldn't have saved buying the Decathlon
earlier anyway because our second child is 11m old and can use the
two Roundabouts now. However, you may save buying a Marathon/Decathlon
instead of a Roundabout depending on your situation.
So now we considered the Marathon but settled on the
Decathlon because in the Marathon the gap between the back of the seat
and the buckle seems to be 1 inch less than in the Roundabout or
Decathlon. This means that it presses uncomfortably against the
crotch area. We have two Decathlons now for our 3.5 yr old. He likes
both the Roundabout and the Decathlon.

Summary: Great Adjustment 2007-06-28
Comment: We have three kids and have gone through a lot of car seats. Our Graco infant seat lasted six years and four children (not all our own). Other seats have not been as fortunate. With car seats I have learned that adjusting the straps can be a major source of frustration. Since we plan to get a lot of use out of our car seat we went to the store with one thing on our minds, easily adjustable straps. Unfortunately all the models we saw in the store were pretty complicated and some models were really wide. They looked like little flying saucers. We couldnt find anything we liked so I bought this online because the reviews said it was easy to adjust. I am pleased with the straps. They adjust better than any car seat I have owned. They left things simple and the straps adjust very smoothly. I was also pleasantly surprised with their latch system. Our other car seats are a pain to latch in and out of the car, but this is so simple. The cover fabric is very soft but I gave it four stars because it says it's not machine washable. I don't like to handwash things. I also wish it had an level indicator to show whether it reclined enough in the rear facing position.
