Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat This car seat is a convertible, which means it can change from a rear facing seat that will accommodate up to a 33 pound baby to a forward facing seat that will hold a 40 pound child maximum height 40”. Whenever something does more than one thing, it usually doesn’t do them both as well. That’s the case with the Roundabout. It is a better forward facing car seat than a rear facing one. The fact that it can convert may seem like a good idea at first, but in reality, but this seat is too bulky to use as a carrier like a traditional rear facing seat, so it’s not as functional as it sounds. It has a 5 point harness, which is crucial for a forward facing car seat. It has EPS foam to cushion and protect your child in case there’s a collision and it can be tethered in both the rear and forward facing positions. Some parents find this seat to be too big for their car, so try it out in your car before purchasing and check with www.carseatdata.org. They have also said that at first it’s difficult to install especially rear facing position, but it doesn’t take long to get the hang of it. NHTSA and Consumer Reports consider this an excellent car seat. It’s a few dollars more than the competition, but based on its safety record, it is well worth it.
