Britax Companion Car Seat

Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat

The basics of the Britax Roundabout Car Seat is that it is a forward facing seat that can hold an infant up 33 lbs rear facing, and up to a 40 lbs infant forward facing. The good thing is Britax’s reputation for safety, which many say justifies the extra expense over less expensive car seats.

Speaking of safety, the Britax Roundabout Car Seat includes the patented HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system, which exceeds U.S. safety standards. It does this by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding. This is a feature that’s particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap-time.

The Britax Roundabout is made of expanded polystyrene, or EPS, and also some extra thick comfort foam. This system does a better job of distributing the webbing loads, thus reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on your baby’s neck. This is important in the event of an impact. The HUGS system also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.

Britax roundabout convertible car seat gives your little rider a safe, smooth ride in cushioned comfort. It offers Britax’s patented Versa-Tether. This is basically an anchor aid that provides additional security in the forward facing position for children weighing more than 50 pounds. The Versa-Tether fastens to the top of the car seat to factory-installed automobile anchor points. This will minimize the probability of a head injury in the case of an accident.

The Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat weighs in at only at a relatively lightweight 14 pounds when empty. Not too shabby as far as Britax car seats goes. It measures 18.25 x 25 x 23.5 inches (WxHxD). It is really comfortable for your baby, and for added convenience, it is certified for air travel. The Roundabout comes with a limited 1-year limited warranty.
