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.

Great Car Seat October 8, 2008
I have the Bridgeport Roundabout for my Hyundai Tucson and it is great. I contemplated getting the Marathon, but the Roundabout fits perfectly in the back seat -- the Marathon would have been too large for my car. It's really comfortable and really secure. My only tiny problem is the straps twist sometimes. It's not a big deal though. I feel comfortable that my child is safe and secure in this seat.
Love this carseat! October 2, 2008
My daughter seems so much more comfortable in this carseat than she did in the Graco one...this one just has more room and she falls asleep so easily in the car now...loves it! It is very compact which gives us more room in our Santa Fe for the front seat passenger than the graco did...just an awesome car seat. Can't wait till she's facing front as she will love it!
The color is great as well!
Grand baby loves this car seat!! September 13, 2008
We researched this and bought it for our grand baby, whom hated to go in her previous car seat. Her poor mom came to visit us and her nerves were frazzled after an 11 hour ride with an upset baby. Immediately, after being placed in this car seat, she was very content and her mom can even put her in it at home, something she couldn't do with her other car seat. This is a GREAT car seat!! It is very safe, easy to install and the baby likes it too!
Over 75,000 Miles of Use! Love it! September 4, 2008

We purchased this car seat back in 2004. (This is written in 2008.) Our daughter has used it almost daily since then, including on those really long family trips. She's almost 5 yrs old now and nearly 40 lbs. (The max weight limit.) We will be purchasing another Britax. (Most likely the Britax Regent for youth.)
This seat has several wonderful qualities:
1. Easy to wash. I just take off the cover, put it in the washing machine on normal wash, and then dry it for about 30 mins. It gets washed about 3-4 times a year.
2. Simple to install. One of our vehicles doesn't have the latch system. It's still a piece of cake to tighten down on the car's seat. (For a really tight fit with the latch, I sit in the carseat and pull up on the latch straps. She's now forward facing.)
3. Comfortable. Our daughter has never mentioned any aches, pains or irritations while riding in this seat. (The only hot metal parts clip into the buckle. No accidental burns!)
4. No overt wear. Through washings, spills, smears, crumbs, etc., the seat still cleans up like new. No frayed edges, bald spots, twisted trim, or tears.
5. Very adjustable. As our child has grown, we've been able to adjust the shoulder straps to meet her needs. The 5-point harness is simple to put on and take off. The main buckle is just stiff enough to be too tough for her to undo alone. (Thank goodness.)
6. Safety. Side impact protection was almost unheard of in carseats when we purchased this one. It's part of why we did. Consumer Reports' high ratings also helped.
What I would change:
1. When the seat is out of the vehicle (usually removed because our child is sleeping and I want to keep her that way), it is tippy. It needs to be propped up against a wall or sofa.
2. A better storage pocket on the back for the instructions and extra tie-down straps. The one that we have is too small for the instructions and the straps always seem to be on the verge of falling out.
(Just a heads up, this carseat will not fit in the rear seat of quadcab Dodge Rams.)
So, with over 75,000 miles of use, we'd buy this carseat again. It has served us well and kept our daughter safe.
Love the fabric love the carseat! September 1, 2008
We have the LATCH system in our car, so this car seat is a cinch to install. My son is very small for his age, but he's quite comfortable in this seat. I love the little bits of velcro that help (not perfect, but a nice effort) to keep the straps out of the way when you seat him. I love the fabric - it's fun to look at, and the velour is nice and cozy. There don't seem to be any parts that can get really in the sun (not that it's hot here).
