Product Manufacturer / Name / Part Number:

Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat

Part #: E9L0269, E9L0227, E9L02R6, E9L0216, E9LA669

Approximate Price Range: $180 – $200

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Description/Specs/Features:

The Britax Roundabout Convertible car seat is designed as a compact car seat that can be configured as rear-facing for a baby from 5 to 35 lbs., and forward facing for a child over 1 year of age and 20 lbs. up to 40 lbs or 40″.  The difference between this car seat and the Britax Roundabout 50, is that the Roundabout 50 is larger, heavier, has 4 harness slots up to 17” high, multiple crotch strap positions, and can accommodate a child up to 50 lbs. or 49” in height.

• Child weight / age / height:
• Rear facing: 5 – 35 lbs.
• Forward facing: 1 year and 20 lbs., up to 40 lbs. or 40”
• Lower LATCH push connectors (LATCH anchors available on most vehicles after Sept. 2002)
• Built-in lock-off clips (if securing with a seat belt)
• Side impact protection wings
• Rear and forward facing recline for child comfort and positioning
• 5-point harness

Pros:

• Compact design is fairly light weight, and very good for people with smaller vehicle seating areas.
• Very comfortable for baby.
• Good feature set.

Cons:

• Compact design means that your child may possibly grow out of this car seat early, requiring you to purchase another car seat (this is not so much a con, as a consideration of purchase based on financial situation, and your vehicle seating area, since some larger car seats now accommodate children up to 65 lbs.).
• Requires re-threading the shoulder harness positions as your child grows.
• Fabric cover is not machine washable.
• Doesn’t have multiple adjustable crotch strap positions (6.63 set depth).

Symphony North Bay Car Seat

Product Manufacturer / Name / Part Number:

Evenflo Symphony Convertible Car Seat Review
Part #: 3121925 (North Bay), also in Heathrow and Liberty

Approximate Price Range: $180 – $190

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Description/Specs/Features:

The Symphony car seat can be configured to the changing needs of your growing child, to be rear facing, forward facing, or as a belt positioning booster seat.  It has several advanced features that are not on all car seats.  The first is “Evenflo SureLATCH” technology, which provides two special connectors that hook up to a vehicle’s latch system for quick and proper installation.  The second is “Infant Slide Harness Adjust”, which allows you to readjust the harness as your baby grows without removing and rethreading the straps.  This is a big advantage, since rethreading can be tedious.

• 5-point harness for children 20 to 40 lbs (differs from the Symphony 65, which rates up to 65 lbs.)
• Rear facing car seat configuration (infant 5 to 35 lbs.)
• Front facing car seat configuration (child 20 to 40 lbs.) (differs from the Symphony 65, which rates up to 65 lbs.)
• Belt positioning booster configuration (child 30 to 100 lbs.)
• One-hand adjustable head rest
• Flip-out cup holder
• Removable washable ComfortTouch™ padding
• ReclineRight™ up-front adjust

Pros:

• Can be configured and used as your child grows from 5 to 100 lbs.
• SureLatch connects to your seat belt latches, and makes installation easy.
• Slide harness can be adjusted at the shoulder without rethreading from the back.
• Pad is machine washable

Cons:

• The upgraded Symphony65 has a similar price range to the Symphony.
• When car seat is installed rear facing, the recline handle can be a bit difficult to reach and pull.
• Car seat does not come with harness shoulder pads (for baby’s comfort).
