Britax Roundabout: A Consumer Review
The Britax Roundabout differs from other popular Britax car seats, like the Marathon and the Boulevard, by it's size. The Roundabout is smaller than its cousins and is perfect for more compact cars.
The key features of the Britax Roundabout are the following:
- Weighs 16.1 pounds and measures 19 x 18 x 17 inches
- Side Impact Protection - better protects your child from impact by distributing the crash forces, shielding the body from vehicle intrusion and limits the movement your baby’s head, neck and body
- Convenient Harness Holders - keeps the straps in place and out of your way while you place your baby in the car seat
- Premium Push-Button Lower LATCH Connectors - allows you to install the car seat quickly and easily
- Patented, Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether - minimizes forward movement of your baby in the event of a crash with the staged-release tether webbing, which secures the top part of the seat at two points
- Five-point harness - provides better protection for your baby by making contact with the strongest parts of his body
The Britax Roundabout also has Plush, Premium cover set with matching belly pad, as well as high density comfort foam which adds extra comfort for your baby.
In the rear-facing position, the seat can hold a baby weighing 35 lbs or less. For the front-facing position, it can accommodate a child weighing from 20 to 40 lbs. Height limit for the seat is 40 inches, for both positions. The Roundabout has the reversible Versa-Tether, which attaches the seat in the rear-facing position with a special clip. This is attached to the underside portion of one of the front seats. This provides more security for your child and more convenience for you when it comes to installation.
However, your child will probably outgrow the Roundabout by the time he reaches three years old because of its compact size. If this is a big concern for you, you may consider buying the bigger models like Boulevard and Marathon, especially if you have more than enough room inside your car. Keep in mind that the Roundabout is more convenient for airline travel because of its smaller dimensions.
Parents need not spend extra time fussing over the seat’s harness. The Britax Roundabout is equipped with a five-point harness made of tangle-free polyester material. The harness system provides better protection for your baby by making contact with five important points on his body.
The Britax Roundabout makes car travel more bearable for your baby by providing with the most safe and comfortable ride. The patented HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system gives gentle cushioning in your baby’s neck and chest. It reduces head movement, which makes your baby less prone to head injuries in the event of impact.
The Roundabout is made of high-quality fabric and some of the most stylish car seat designs in the market. Choose between classic designs such as Onyx, Davenport, Matrix and Huntington.
