View larger.</b><b>BRITAX 360 Degree Protection</b>The BRITAX ROUNDABOUT 55 features technologies that work to minimize injury to your child during a crash from any direction, including both frontal and side impact crashes - the most frequent types of crashes. These technologies work together with other features on the car seat to minimize injury to your child during a crash by:  <ul> <li>keeping your child in the vehicle,</li> <li>diverting crash forces away from your child,</li> <li>helping to slow down your child's body,</li> <li>minimizing movement of your child, and</li> <li>protecting your child's brain and spinal cord.</li></ul> <b>SafeCell Technology for Advanced Head Safety </b>Designed with SafeCell Technology, the ROUNDABOUT 55 features SafeCells, which are engineered structures located in the base of the seat designed to compress in the event of a crash. This compression significantly lowers the center of gravity and counteracts the forward rotation of the car seat, delivering unprecedented performance in a crash.<p>The ROUNDABOUT 55 also features integrated steel bars, which strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce the forward flexing of the car seat. In addition, the energy-absorbing Versa-Tether anchors the top of the car seat and minimizes forward rotation to reduce the crash forces that can reach your child if an accident occurs. These three features work together as a system to provide revolutionary head safety protection for your child.<p><b>Side Impact Protection for Added Security</b>To keep your child safe in the event of a side-impact collision, the ROUNDABOUT 55 includes Side Impact Protection. Side Impact Protection is a system composed of a rigid seat shell with deep side walls and energy-absorbing EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam lining the shell. These combined features work together to protect your child's head and chest from incoming side-impact crash forces by distributing the forces over a larger surface area, helping shield your child from vehicle intrusion and contain your child's head and body in the seat.<p><b>Premium Fit and Comfort Features</b>Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the ROUNDABOUT 55 reclines in both the forward and rear positions. And thanks to additional features, which include high-density comfort foam and a plush cover set with a matching belly pad, they'll always ride in style and comfort. A 55-pound weight capacity, two buckle positions, and a tangle-free five-point harness with four harness-height settings ensure that your growing child will ride safely and comfortably. Plus, an optional Infant Positioning Insert (sold separately) allows you to properly and snugly fit smaller infants into the car seat.<p><b>Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience</b>Packed with perks for parents, the ROUNDABOUT 55 makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without guesswork. Premium lower LATCH connectors make for a quick, simple, and tight installation, while the push-button allows you to easily uninstall the connectors. Easy-to-access built-in lock-offs allow you to install the car seat with ease using your vehicle's lap and shoulder belt.<p>Additionally, an anti-slip contoured base grips and protects the vehicle seat, ensuring a tight installation in all types of vehicles. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you're placing your child in the seat.<p>The BRITAX ROUNDABOUT 55 Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.<p><b>What's in the Box</b>One BRITAX ROUNDABOUT 55 Convertible Car Seat and manual.<p>

The things I looked for in a convertible car seat: not too big, easy buckle, easy strap tightening, comfortable for child, looks good in car. I got all of these in the Roundabout 55.
<br/>
<br/>I have this seat installed rear-facing in my Hyundai Santa Fe- it fits like a dream. It's behind the passenger seat (so that I could use the LATCH system; there's no LATCH anchors in the center seat of the car) and I didn't have to move the front seat forward. It's not too wide, not too tall. The sides are a little higher than the Roundabout 50, but I haven't found them to be an issue when getting the child in and out the seat. In fact, it's easier to get her out of the Roundabout than it was to get her out of her infant seat when I started leaving the infant seat in the car because it got too heavy to carry.
<br/>
<br/>The buckle is a convenient push button, not too stiff. I was not a fan of the slide button on the Graco seat; I found this to be more comfortable in my fingers.
<br/>
<br/>The lever to loosen the straps is a little more awkward to reach than the super-easy button on my Chicco infant carrier, but it's not a big deal. I think all convertible seats have this downfall, especially when installed rear-facing. I was actually very concerned about this, however, I find that I can easily loosen and tighten the straps while my child is in this seat.
<br/>
<br/>My child has no problems with this seat- she looks very happy in in. The Roundabout 55 comes with the HUGS padding for the shoulder straps, which is an improvement over the Roundabout 50, and I'm glad they're there to prevent the straps from cutting into her neck.
<br/>
<br/>The color of this seat (Davenport) is a beautiful gray that matches the interior of my car. I have had no problems with the seat cover being too loose or accidentally coming off, and it is easy to remove for cleaning. Just right.
<br/>
<br/>I would definitely recommend this seat. It was very easy for me to get a nice tight installation with the LATCH system. However, I do recommend reading BOTH the car seat manual AND your car's owners manual when installing a car seat. I learned a few things from the car manual that I wouldn't have done with just reading the seat instructions.
