 The Roundabout features a quick and easy installation with either LATCH or traditional seatbelts. (Tan Swirl color shown.) View larger. |
Easy to install correctly, regardless of whether your vehicle is LATCH compatible or not, the Roundabout takes the guesswork out of installation so you know your child is safely positioned on every trip. The Roundabout features a tangle-free, five-point harness made with rough and tough polyester webbing to resist wear and tear. The push-button LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors help tightly secure your child quickly and easily so you won't have to worry about struggling with endless straps and complicated procedures, and convenient belt holders keep the harness to the side so you can place the child in the seat. Additionally, the harness offers three adjustable shoulder height positions for a snug fit over the shoulders, collarbone, and hips.
Finally, 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, and the one-pull harness strap adjuster makes for a quick, easy, and secure fit every time.
HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Roundabout truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.
Versa-Tether for Additional Security
The Roundabout also offers Britax's patented Versa-Tether, an anchor aid that provides additional security in the forward facing position for children weighing more than 50 pounds. The Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory-installed automobile anchor points, minimizing the possibility of a head injury in the event of impact.
Weighing only 14 pounds when empty, and measuring 18.25 x 25 x 23.5 inches (WxHxD), the Roundabout is incredibly comfortable. For added convenience, it is certified for air travel. The Roundabout comes with a limited 1-year limited warranty.
The Roundabout is also available in the following colors: Granite, Cowmooflage, New Denim, Tan Swirl, and Jessica.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Go out and get yourself one of these!
Since we didn't plan on carrying her around in a car seat at all, this was the car seat for us.
The only thing was that when she was smaller, we couldn't figure out a way to make the seat recline a little more for her (that could be the way our seats are -- we have a '97 Audi station wagon), so we ended up sticking a swimming noodle underneath it. This probably isn't company-advised, but it did work for us; it wouldn't have prevented us choosing this car seat even had we known the reclining issue ahead of time.
My sister-in-law used the same seat with her son, and her only complaint was that you can't buy a new cover separately -- so if you ever need to wash it, you just have to wait (and I believe you need to hang-dry it). This hasn't been an issue for us, at least not yet, as we haven't had to wash it.
It's also made of really soft material, and the straps are very quickly adjustable -- I can't stress how important that aspect is, living in Colorado where the morning will require a snowsuit for baby, and then by mid-afternoon it's almost fifty degrees!
