Baby Products Reviews of Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat - BridgeportCustomer Review: Awesome car seat Summary: 5 StarsGreat car seat. It's comfortable and easy to use and so cool. I mean, cow print! It's much nicer than all the nondescript gray, black or tan car seats out there. Do children car seats have to look like an ugly sedan? Not this one.
Customer Review: Ugly but Functional Summary: 5 StarsThis car seat works great. I have to say though the one we purchased was on sale at the time and it sure isn't pretty. I guess I'm used to my beautiful red Chicco seat and this ugly, gray beast doesn't compare in the aesthetic department. I did add some nice Curious George strap covers to make them a bit more comfortable and it did brighten up this monster a bit. Really, it's so far so good and my daughter really seems comfortable.
Customer Review: Easy to Use Summary: 5 StarsWe purchased this car seat a couple months ago. It is very easy to use and I appreciate the comfort and durability it has.
Customer Review: solid purchase Summary: 5 StarsSo far, this product has worked out perfectly for us. It came highly recommended from my sister and was easy to install. It was delivered promptly.
Customer Review: Terrible instructions Summary: 1 StarsThis seat is visually attractive but the pros end there. The instructions that come with the seat are simply terrible. The illustrated pictures that are supposed to help clarify how to install the seat are too small to provide any useful information (i.e., they are about 1" by 1"). Moreover, unlike other car seats that provide a means for determining if the chair is at an appropriate angle (e.g., our Chicco seat has a built-in bubble level; Graco seats have a built-in bubble level as well), this chair requires you to "eye-ball" if it is at the appropriate 30- to 45-degree angle. Personally, I don't like having to place my son's life in my ability to visually judge an angle. Furthermore, the instructions repeatedly cross-reference other pages in the manual. Thus, as you are reading the relevant installation instructions on page 18 you are then sent to page 30; you then go back to page 18 and a few steps later you are sent to another page. It is simply aggravating. Moreover, when you go to the Britax website it is exceptionally difficult to find the information you need (e.g., you have to find the manufacture date of you chair to be able to get the link for the how-to videos on YouTube). Unfortunately, these videos have close to the same level of detail as the 1" by 1" photos in the manual. Finally, this chair just feels flimsy. Thus, overall, I will not trust my son's safety to people who lack the ability to provide an clarity regarding their product's use. That is a major part of their business and if they cannot do that well I worry about what else they cannot do well.
