Britax Roundabout Review Summary
Value conscience parents, wanting a safe car seat for their children have chosen the Britax Roundabout car seat to carry their precious cargo. Being “the smallest of the Britax” car seats the Roundabout is “light weight” and “a breeze to install” as well as economical. Although it is easy to use, the Roundabout does have a puzzle lock style buckle that may turn some parents off. In reviews for the Roundabout, parents agree their children “get very cozy” in the seat. “The Britax Roundabout is a great car seat that grows with the child” up to 40 pounds and/or 40 inches which works well for parents wanting to use their Roundabout for additional children. Although other Britax models can hold larger children, the Roundabout fits in compact and mid-size cars easily.

Much like every other parent here, when it was time to update my baby from his "infant" car seat, I went to every online review site to see what everyone had to say about the car seats I was interested in.
From a few local moms in my area, I was told the Britax was the best thing since sliced bread!! ...

Left to my own devices, I would have chosen a different car seat. However, before I put much thought into that decision, my unborn baby was gifted with a Britax Roundabout through her father's work. I felt fortunate to have acquired a car seat from such a prestigious company, and was confident Britax's...

Britax Roundabout Ratings and Reviews

I did a lot of research on baby gear while pregnant with my first child. One of my major concerns was a car seat. My child would be in the car daily going to and from daycare. It is a short drive, but there are still plenty of other people on the road. All car seats sold in the U.S. have passed U.S. safety standards, so I knew I didn't really have to worry about that. My concerns were mostly about installation and adjustment of the car seat. If a car seat is not properly installed, it may not work the way it should and it may become a dangerous piece of baby gear in the process.

Our Britax Roundabout has survived two children and it still looks just fabo. Prior to purchasing it for our firstborn, we did MONTHS of research and talked to lots of safety people. Everyone concurred: although the Britax was expensive, it was also the safest. That was all we needed to hear to be sold.
When we purchased it, I didn't think to find out how to clean it. It is so very easy to take the entire system apart (takes about three minutes) and throw all of the covering and straps in the washing machine and dryer. We then anti-bacterial scrub the remaining plastic base and it's like our babies...

It was the best car seat - ever!
Not only did I feel secure that my son was safely kept and comfy in this seat but it also provided him with an excellent view of the street, (which he didn't have in our other car seats) which kept him entertained and fuss free through out any ride, long or short.
It has extra cushioning, and a head guard (to support head for when the baby dozes,) and suspension under the chair; all which gaurantees a good sleep. Best in handy when baby is fussy, antsy, or having a hard time falling... read full review »

The only bad things I can say about this car seat is that the straps have gotten twisted recently on us and it's base very tall. Now that it is forward facing, its quite tall to haul our 25 lb baby up into in our Honda Pilot. I can't imagine if I had a bigger SUV.
On the good side, the product is super easy to install with seat belts or Latch. The... read full review »

We loved our Britax Roundabout while it lasted. It was passed on by a friend before it expired (and they do expire, even Britax!) and it was the most comfortable seat we've had for our daughter.
It's made of an extremely sturdy plastic and as for the comfort of the child, it is the most plush feeling seat you can find.
In terms of safety, it is one of the best options on the market with a five point harness system and anchoring but unfortunately, the price of the Britax brand makes it difficult for those with a limited income or budget.
Fortunately, there are other seats on the market that are...

I researched carseats for hours on end when I was pregnant with my first child in 2005... and the Britax Roundabout always got rave reviews. We now have two Roundabouts for our daughters and I wouldn't have it any other way. Our girls have always seemed to be very comfortable in their carseats.
These carseats are easy to install, adjust, and clean. And the Britax carseat covers come in such neat colors and designs.
In order to save money, be sure to do some comparison shopping and look for carseats that have been discontinued.
