Great Seat!
June 2, 2016
We bought the Roundabout when I decided we needed a less expensive car seat for my husband's car but didn't want to sacrafice safety or a higher weight limit. My son has consistently been large for his age (90th percentile weight, 75th in height on average) so higher height and weight limits are important to me. I had looked at other brands even though I was pretty attached to Britax by this point (I have had a B-safe, Marathon and a Pinnacle as well). It allowed me to rear-face my son well into his second year. I found the seat easy enough to switch from car to car when needed and I found the harness easy to adjust despite being a little more work than my Marathon (obviously).

I absolutely LOVE Britax products. For my first child, I purchased the roundabout once it was time to upgrade from the infant seat and I have absolutely no complaints. It's easy to install or move from car to car & my daughter never complains when we take long rides! It's been so great that I just purchased another one for my second child yesterday :-)

The Best Car Seat & Brand Ever
June 2, 2016
I bought a Roundabout 2 years ago for my then 9 month old. She would scream and cry in her infant seat. As soon as I switched her to the Roundabout, she was happy and I rarely every had a crying baby on my hands because of her car seat. I would buy another Britax seat in a heartbeat! They are also the easiest seat I've ever installed in a car.

Love this car seat!!
May 4, 2016
Having 2 grandsons (11mos & 9 mos), I needed a car seat for my car. My daughter has a Britax stroller travel system and my daughter-in-law has a Britax infant carrier. I was very impressed with how well Britax products are made. I ordered the Britax Roundabout and had no problems installing it my SUV. It is reinforced with steel, fits securely and easy to get the boys in and out of the seat...and they are comfortable. Thank you Britax, I am a happy grandma!!!

Best Bang for Your Buck
February 22, 2016
We had the Britax Marathon for our son and decided to go with the Roundabout for our twin girls since we were buying two at a time we wanted something cost-effective. We love this carseat just as much as the Marathon if not more. There is not as much padding as the Marathon but it is a great safe carseat.

Good car seat
February 10, 2016
We have this roundabout and the marathon. The marathon has some extra padding around the head & the harness can be adjusted without rethreading (you just squeeze a button & pull up). I believe the marathon will last a bit longer height wise. Install is the same. The roundabout is a great seat, for a reasonable price. Highly recommend! Especially as a second seat for a secondary caregiver.

We have three convertible car seats and this one is my favorite -- also the least expensive!
September 4, 2015
This is my favorite convertible car seat. It is easiest car seat to install (and the other two are "known" for their easy installation systems) and I just love using it. I can't believe how much cheaper it is than the other seats, too. I paid half the price of each of those other seats and got my favorite seat ever. My 2.5 year old is still rear-facing and has quite a bit of room above her head (she is small, though -- about 15th percentile for height). I predict that we will be able to keep her rear-facing in this seat until at least 3 years old, possibly 4. It will be outgrown by height sooner than the other seats we own, but it will get her to an age that I feel comfortable forward-facing her. Love, love, LOVE this seat and cannot recommend it more highly. I only wish that it came in cooler colors, like the Laguna Boulevard or the pretty colors they used to have on the G3 models. Are you listening, Britax? ;-)

safety and quality
August 7, 2015
I purchased a different brand carseat which would not stay secure in my car. It was unsafe and I returned it. I decided on the Britax roundabout. It is very easy to install and the seat stays in place unlike the other one. It is very well built and seems to be very comfortable for my 18 month old grandson.

Does not budge!
July 27, 2015
I've had our seats nearly a year now (one roundabout for each vehicle) and absolutely love them. We tried a triumph first, and it had a click wheel to tighten the straps that I never felt I could tighten properly, so we returned it and got the britax. I didn't even know how much I was missing out before! Being able to have the front tether while keeping my toddler rear facing is amazing. Every other seat just feels like it has a lot of sway up by the head of the seat, but these ones are so secure, I just know they are far safer. I also really like that the tether has an indicator if has been overly stressed from an accident. My only regret was that they are out of our price range to provide one for the sitter and grand parents who occasionally transport my daughter.

Help saved my grand-daughter's life!
July 15, 2015
My 2 1/2 year old grand-daughter was in a recent tragic car accident with her mother. Her mother did not survive but my grand-daughter only had minor injuries. She was in the Britax-roundabout. The ER doctor told us that the side protection and the sturdiness of her car seat helped saved her. I will never put my grand-children into any other brand except a britax!

Easy to Install!
July 6, 2015
This car seat is easy to install and very stable! We have a small crossover and we are able to slide our two front seats all the way back without even touching the seat that is rear-facing! My daughter never fusses and doesn't fight me to get in like she did with her infant car seat. ( Which is a miracle) So, I can only assume it is very comfortable!
Pros
  • Really easy to install if you have the LATCH system in your car!
Cons
  • None

Good Car Seat
June 6, 2015
We bought the Roundabout 4.1 convertible car seat a few months ago, and we've been happy with it after we made some adjustments and an additional purchase from Britax. It would be nice if the car seat reclined further, so we didn't have to use a towel or pool noodle to level it in the rear-facing position. Also, including the rebound bar or a longer safety tether would have been nice since we have an Outback, and the tether it came with is not long enough. We purchased these additional items though, and we've been very happy with the car seat ever since.

Easily Adjusts between Grandchildren
June 5, 2015
I purchased this car seat to use when my grandchildren visit. They are 3 years and 1 year. The harnesses adjust very easily and installation into my vehicle was a snap. I was pleased to read after I ordered it, that Britax rates lowest on toxic fumes emissions. I hope I never have to find out how it holds up in a collision but I trust it will perform as it should.

The roundabout is a great choice for reasonably priced, safe car seat. Easy installation and comfortable for my little guy. Only seat we could find at the price with padding at the buckles so plastic parts aren't ouch directly to baby's skin.

So glad we went with Britax!
May 17, 2015
We purchased (2) Roundabouts, (1) Onyx and (1) Silverlight for both of our vehicles. We've only been using them for about three weeks, but we LOVE them! Simple to install, adjust, and our little angel loves them too! We spent a couple of months researching and by far we felt that Britax gave us the best options for the money. Can't go wrong with this one in our opinion.

Bought this when my baby was 2 years old and was used until she was 6 1/2. Having the Britax name, I felt confident at all times that my child was in the best of "hands" and protected as well as can be. Got my money's worth and it still looks new...to be passed on.

Best Bang for the Buck!
April 20, 2015
We just bought a boulevard and were needing a seat for a second vehicle. After much debate and ready the reviews, we opted for the Roundabout. It is the same frame and basic design as the boulevard but the straps have to be threaded and the extra head restraint/cushion isn't there. I would highly recommend this seat to anyone and am considering buying another one already for the grandparents to use!

I ordered this seat on a Thursday evening and it was delivered to my house Monday. I couldn't believe how fast that it shipped, especially placing an order after 5pm. I love the safety features of this product for added tightness. The seat isn't as bulky as I thought that it would be either. Easy setup. Easy installation! Will purchase from Allbeebaby and Britax again for sure!

I also have a Boulevard
April 9, 2015
I have the Boulevard and I wanted something else from Britax for my husband's truck. I was a little worried that I was going the cheap way but I was so wrong! This seat has the same frame/body as the Boulevard. The only thing I see really different about the two is the head rest but because you have it tilted back so much it doesn't make much of a difference. I love Britax and trust their safety. I do not regret getting this seat, if anything I wish I would have got two instead of buying the Boulevard. This is a great seat and it has the infant insert which it says to use until your baby is 22 lbs. Don't worry about the traps not having the Hugs rubber things, the clip doesn't slip down it's fine. Like I said I have the Boulevard so I can say it really doesn't matter. Save your money and get this seat. It's great and has good padding also. As for the Hugs, I'm almost positive if you buy the replacement ones on Britax website they would work for this seat. The straps come off the seat the same as the Boulevard.
Pros
  • Britax safety without the $$$$
Cons
  • Not a thing.

The seat is well designed, with just enough customization (height, recline, etc.) to be practical. My favorite aspect is how well it can be used with the various other Britax products, especially for air travel.

We've only had it installed for a few days, but it fit into the car really well in the middle. My daughter seems really comfortable in it. We did have to get some extra neck support for when she falls asleep, but that was a cheap purchase. Great to have a Britax for the price!

No cup holder
February 25, 2015
I spent over a month looking for a back up car seat for my husband's car. I weighed options very heavy. I am pleased with the weight of it because it is not heavy however I am very upset it's made without cup holders. Upset at myself for not noticing prior to purchase (because I would not have gotten it) and upset that one would make a car seat with a cup holder! Who's bright idea was that?

2nd Britax bought
February 18, 2015
We love the Britax car seats so much we bought 2 (Pavilion and Roundabout). This car seat is extremely comfortable for my 2yo daughter and she can even nap in it without looking uncomfortable. We have been using it now for a year and I love the fact that is really easy to take in and out of the car. I literally just unhook it from the anchor and unlatch it. My husband has to take the Roundabout in and out of his work car and personal car and it literally takes a minute to swap. I highly recommend it!

Looking into replacing after just a few months
January 23, 2015
I like britax products and their quality, however, I'm disappointed with this seat. Though is says it can rear face up to 40lbs my 25lb 32in daughter is already feeling the squeeze. Compared to my other seat (chicco) it seems shorter in the leg room area. Also, no matter how much we tighten the install feels loose to me even with the latch system. Our britax infant bucket was nice and snug, but this installs loose. I also have issues tightening the straps, I try to follow the "pinch test" so that she's nice and snug but I pull really hard and she still feels loose in it, I've rethreaded it in hopes to correct it to no avail. My baby is on the lean side but she's not tiny at all. Anyway, I'm sad to say we weren't happy with this and will get a second chicco nextfit instead.
