Description of Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat - Bridgeport
Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat With endorsements from nearly every consumer organization, it's no surprise the Britax Roundabout is one of the most popular car seats to date. Britax has improved upon this popular convertible car seat by introducing the LATCH system. The Roundabout car seat is the MVP's MVP as it fits just about every car and is super easy to install. Britax outdid itself with the introduction of this Britax car seat The Britax Roundabout features the LATCH lock system which is a necessity in today's car seat. LATCH makes installation simple and safe while ensuring the baby car seat is installed properly every time. This seat may be the easiest to install....ever. Anchors, installed in the car previously, connect with LATCH connectors to ensure proper Britax car seat installation. It also features the Britax patented Versa-Tether system and EPS impact foam which helps keep baby safe in the head and torso areas. The Roundabout is very similar to the Britax Marathon and the two very well may be big brother, little brother. The Marathon is just as comfortable as the Roundabout convertible car seat but, like big bro, has a higher weight limit. The Marathon is also bigger and does not fit into every car seat rear facing. When engineers began designing car seats, they wanted one that combined all elements of safety and comfort. The Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat is exactly what they were dreaming of.Baby Products Reviews of Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat - Bridgeport
Customer Review: Small Car Friendly
Summary: 4 Stars
After trying several different models recommended for small cars, I found this to be the only one that would fit rear-facing in my Saab 9-3 without sacrificing the front passenger seat. Ironically this is the same seat my wife has in her Ford Escape so now we have two. I still had to move the seat forward some in the Saab, but a passenger can ride up front for around town rides. Cross-country rides would still be a bit uncomfortable.
Overall, the seat fits securly, and it was relatively easy to install (with latch) in both cars. Admittedly, I wouldn't want to take it in and out every day, which is why we have two. The weight limit is on the low end (40lbs) compared to other seats, but that was the trade-off for the shorter head height. Hopefully by 40lbs she'll be tall and old enough to move into a convertible booster and will be able to hand these seats down to a younger sibling.
My only complaint with the seat is that the shoulder harness gets twisted sometimes (especially when working around heavy winter coats). Fastening and tightening the harness is a little bit of a chore with the seat rear-facing, but I imagine the same problem would occur with most other seats. The side adjuster on the Evenflo was nice, but it just wouldn't fit.
Overall I would recommend this seat for any car, especially a small car that needs to keep a usable front seat.
