The Roundabout features a quick and easy installation with either LATCH or traditional seatbelts. (Tan Swirl color shown.) View larger. | Quick and Easy Installation
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.

 Baby does not cry anymore!!! February 3, 2010
Yonna
This is the best car seat for my 7 mo old & 19 lbs baby boy who was crying evey time he was in his infant seat. For the last month my boy has not been even once upset getting in this convertible car seat Britax Roundbound, maze color looks so nice. He looks so confortable and loves watching out the window, just love to see him happy!! I was inclined to buy the Marathon but the reviews were sayng the crotch latch runs shorter than Roundbound so i decided to buy this one & i love it so does my baby :-) wish i bought it earlier. Thank you Amazon & Britax!!
love it! January 17, 2010

Overall easy to install, easy to recline, and easy to manipulate the straps. Very comfortable and safe!
Great for small back seats January 3, 2010
Bunson Honeydew (White Plains, NY)
I bought this from Albee Baby in NYC. Albee Baby has free UPS Ground shipping for orders over $100. NYS forces online retailers to collect sales tax, even if they have no physical footprint in NYS. Therefore there was only one reason why I went to them versus buying it on Amazon (my preferred choice) - it was about $20 less.
That being said, this car seat is absolutely perfect if your car has a small backseat. We have a small SUV, so space is important. Some Britax models are very large, which is fine if you have the room or you have a large child. This is by far the easiest installation of a car seat. I tried it both with the seatbelt method and with the latch anchoring system that the new cars all have. Both ways are easy, although I like the latch method better because I could take my time without worrying about tension in the seatbelt.
My only regret is not buying the Roundabout 50 because this one is only good for 40 pounds. My almost 10 month old is about 20 pounds, so I'm fine now. Also we have an "Irish twin" arriving this month. So mostly likely this we eventually be the younger one's seat, and the older one will get a different model.
FYI - we were originally going to get a less expensive seat. Afterall, all car seats have to meet a certain minimum safety requirement. Spend the extra and get the Britax. It's worth it for the extra protection and you'll have no need to curse while installling a Britax.
A car seat for Airline Travel A+!!! December 28, 2009
Mrs. S. E. Hargreaves (Perth, Australia)

I purchased this car seat specifically for airline use. We are Brits living abroad, curently in Australia and after doing some research we found that a car seat has to carry a sticker proclaiming it's approval for airline travel. Without this sticker most airlines will refuse it's use on board. I have a Britax seat bought in the UK (that does not display this sticker) that we have been very pleased with. They have an excellent saftey record and in my experience are relatively easy to fit. This was one of the reasons that we bought this Britax as apposed to any other airline approved brand. The fact it is also a nice slim design and can fit down the ailes of the plane while attached to a trolley was also a great plus point. (The car seat trolley is worth looking at if you are going to be doing a bit of airline travel, no more lugging a car seat, bags and child through check in & departure. Wheel it around plus or minus child, perfect!) [...].
It arrived very promptly at my friends place in the States. They very kindly posted it on to me here in Australia. (It's impossible to find a car seat available in Australia that has been approved for airline travel, why I don't know)
I love the cowmooflage design, very cute. My 21 month old son was very taken with it as it came out of the box. Cow, cow, cow he began chanting at the top of his voice. Just as a note I do like the bits of velcro that have been stiched onto the cover on the arm rests. They grab at the seat belt material when you pull them to the side in preperation for popping in your child. No more belts under bottoms, very handy.
I am due to use my seat on the plane in a months time. A girlfriend has bought the same seat for her daughter and recently flew to the Uk and back. She was extremley pleased with it and found it ok to fit, although she did make sure she understood how this would be fitted. I hope my experience is as good, I think it will be.
 Buckle not working December 9, 2009

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
We own three britax car seats and have just got off the phone with customer service. The buckle no longer clicks into a locked position. They told us to clean the buckle and if that did not work we could buy a new set since it is not under warranty. The seat was manufactured in 2007 and I am not sure why it would be part of a warranty program as it is the main safety component of the seat. When you pay more for the supposed safety of Britax you think they would be alarmed and motivated to correct this problem instead of trying to make a few extra bucks.
