Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat - Puma

Pros: Safe, comfortable and secure
Cons: Expensive

I have to say that this was two hundred dollars well spent. I went shopping for our new car seat three months ago when my son was outgrowing his infant seat and we were about to embark on a road trip. We needed a convertible seat as my son is still...

Pros: Rock Solid, Good Looking
Cons: None Significant

Car seats are strange things, you want your child to be comfortable and safe, and you'd like to feel secure in the knowledge that you're doing everything you can do to make that possible. We looked at lots of car seats that felt unstable, looked cheap or...

Pros: Good, Secure Fit
Cons: Cost

Before our twins were born, I looked into the RA because my wife drives a GMC Jimmy with a bench seat in the back. Finding a car seat that provides adequate stability when mounted on a bench is troublesome at best.

As prfstars recommends in...

Pros: Seems to work, feels sturdy
Cons: Manual is absolutely worthless, Expensive

We purchased this car seat mostly because it received a number of great reviews from people on this website and others. As for the seat quality, I must agree with most people that it seems very good. However, I was shocked(almost horrified) by the lack...

Pros: Safe, Secure feeling, Extras
Cons: High price, but worth it for peace of mind

I discovered the Britax Roundabout received highest crash test ratings in Consumer Reports when I was researching a new car seat for my rapidly growing son. I put my computer and the internet to work to research further this brand I had never heard of....

Pros: 5-point harness, EPS foam, rear facing tether, no-twist straps, etc.
Cons: price - but well worth it!

I had not even considered spending this much money on a car seat until I began to do some research. Once I learned about the great safety features of this seat (EPS foam, 5-point harness, rear facing tether, non-twist straps, puzzle buckle, easy to use...

Pros: Saftey, quality, comfort
Cons: none

We bought the Britax when our son was about 6 mos old and almost 20 lbs. he is now 18 mos old and the seat still looks brand new. the cover comes off easily to be washed.

The features that really make it great are the no-tangle straps (5...

Pros: washable liner, easy to install
Cons: the two buckles

We love our roundabout by Britax. Our son got sick in our car seat and my husband took it a part and washed it. He was so impressed with the way it just went back together without instructions and in 5 min. or less. The seat washed and dried up so...

Pros: rear facing tether, fabric choices
Cons: bottom buckle difficult to get used to

I purchased this seat after doing extensive research on the web on its safety and other parents' opinions. I love the fabric choices, the rear facing tether, the safety features, and the ability to recline it. My son loves this seat. He sits up higher...

Pros: Harness Strap easy to use, fits wonderfully in car with no budging at all
Cons: none that I can find

We just bought the Britax Roundabout for our 8mos old daughter who is getting too big for her infant seat. I have heard that the Britax was the safest and most sturdy carseat of all. Of course I wanted nothing but the best for her, so we took the...

Pros: Rear-facing tether, 5 pt harness, velcro for stay-put harness
Cons: took a while to install correctly

I got this carseat when my 6 month old became too long for her infant carseat. I love this carseat. It fits so securely in my Mitsubishi Gallant rear-facing. It is the ONLY carseat with a rear-facing tether, which makes this carseat rock-solid once...

Pros: safe, solid feeling
Cons: confusing initial installation

I received the Britax Roundabout as a shower gift, and started using it when my son was about 2.5mos old. I didn't like the way the infant car seat felt - it never seemed immobile enough. The Britax felt tight and safe from the beginning. The...

Pros: Comfortable, Tether, secure
Cons: heavy

I bought this car seat for its safety reputation. When properly installed with a tether this car seat does not move. The way the car seat goes thru the seat with a special tightening mechanism for the should strap gives this seat a snug fit. It is...

Pros: Sturdy and comfortable
Cons: Cloth cover is difficult to remove for cleaning.

This was the second carseat we purchased for our daughter; we wanted one with a tether. We also purchased this seat for our son, who is still using it at age 3. (The first one was passed down). I love the deep head rests, so that when the kids fall...

Pros: safe, easy to install, attractive
Cons: puzzle locking mechanism, expensive

I'll admit it. I bought the Britax Roundabout because two of my close friends bought the same model. It seemed like the right thing to do. Now that I own it, I can't imagine ever buying anything else.

Most car seats are a nightmare to...
