Britax Rundabout Car Seat

This is one of the best selling baby car seats, which converts from rear-facing for infants (up to 30 lbs. and 30" tall) to front-facing for toddlers (up to 40 lbs.). At $219.95 (at BabyCenter.com) it is not the cheapest of its kind, but parents who use the Britax Roundabout car seat are almost fanatical about it because they can install it so easily and once it's in place, it doesn't budge.

Although every car seat on the market is required to meet federally mandated safety standards, Britax goes the extra mile. With a patented tether that gives this seat added stability in both the rear- and forward-facing positions and impact-absorbing foam cradling the baby, it offers an extra measure of safety in a worst-case scenario.

As a bonus, you'll get totally free shipping (no standard or oversize charges) on all Britax products. Use coupon code FREESHIPBRITAX at checkout when you buy from BabyCenter.
