Is the car seat tight/secure enough with seatbelt? My other britax has a clamp to hold the seatbelt tight, does this one have something similar?

This seat doesn't have the built in lock off clips that the convertible seats have. However, I have NEVER had any problems with a secure install. There is 3 options of install: 1) L.A.T.C.H. 2) Standard Seatbelt install and 3) Long Belt Path install. I have installed several times in several vehicles, and the best installs I have gotten are with the Long Belt Path. There is step by step directions in the manual, as well as a youtube video showing what to do.

At this time, we use the 5 point harness. Therefore we don't use the seatbelt to hold the carseat in place. The carseat does have hooks that latch into the hooks which are in the seat of our car. The seat is securely in place and we are very happy with it. Hope this helps.

I think it is a very safe/secured seatbelt (I installed in a bmw 328 and it took me just few minutes to do it). It has bolting belts that attach the sides of the car seat to the metal bolts on the bottom or under the back rest of the back seat + has an another - separate belt which is hooked to the metal bolt behind the back seat head rests (bmw has a build-in set of 3 metal bolts in plastic covers and the hooks from this seat fit perfectly! without struggling). We had previously Lexus RX350 and it was much harder to install a car seat for our baby in Lexus than it is in BMW 328... so I guess the whole experience may vary due to how your car is designed to accommodate the car seat installation. Another observation, the car seat base was moving slightly in the Lexus RX350 (even after I tried to tie it up numerous times, but it does not move at all after I tied the belts on it in the bmw (the bemers seats hold the base better, so the base does not move at all - or at least I have not noticed yet!). As I said, the whole installation experience vary base on what car do you have (also, just to add, I installed 2 different seats in my mother-in-law car - Toyota Camry, and the whole installation was as labor intensive as in our Lexus). Hope I am helpful.

I have not tried installation with the seatbelt. I do not see a clamp to hold the seatbelt. You can see in depth installation instructions and pictures in the owners manual available at Britax website.

I am very sorry, but I don't know, and the seat is on loan to friends and not readily available. I would suggest that you look at the Britax website. If it's not there, there must be a way to ask them a question. All we know is that it is very secure, and we are happy with it.

90 has the clicktight (seat swings up to thread seatbelt thru then lowers with a click and has a Kung fu grip on the seatbelt). Especially when kids are growing and getting bigger you are going to want to use the seat belt on the booster not latch. The 90 makes seat belt connection easy. We have a britax 85 in the car that doesn't get moved a lot, but bought the newest model 90 for moving between daily driver and grandmas car.

I have the new click tight Marathon and it fits snug. You have to make sure you have the seat in the bag correctly. It should fit. The box claims that it fits all Britax seats.

There is a latch at the top of the seat that you pinch and pull up. Super easy and so much nicer than on my graco where you have to rethread it. Go on the Britax website and you can watch the video! So easy to install and adjust. We bought two for my 10 month old twins. They took a couple minutes to install. Awesome!

We have a Prius and bought a Britax Roundabout. We are having trouble securing it in the backwards-facing position so it doesn't budge. Anyone else having this problem?

We have not had ours break. Our son doesn't really touch it. Once he knows the lock is on he realizes he cannot get the seat belt to release.

You can use the seatbelt. Most cars LATCH systems are only supported until 40 pounds. Love this carseat!

I would assume it fits any kind. We do not own a Britax car seat. We own a safety first car seat and it fits just fine. All you do is slip it over the seat belt latch between their legs an they dog on it. My daughter had one accident and definitely helped save the car seat itself.

Just wanted to help clarify conflicting answers. Britax b safe car seat does fit with this stroller frame and quite well, but it can be confusing. First, you have to remove the car seat adapters on the car seat. Imagine everyone who had trouble did this. But, then, if you just lay the car seat on the frame, it will rest lopsided and seem like it doesn't fit well or securely. You need to kind of pull one side of the stroller out a bit, and the car seat will snap into place very securely (I never used the straps). It scuffs the stroller up a bit where you kind of have to push the car seat in pretty hard, but it's really minor. Just wanted to help clarify conflicting answers.

Yes, there are straps in the back to secure it with a seatbelt. However, the position of the straps seems to not allow the case to lay directly onto the seat. So, it left room between the car seat and the carrier. I found a way to make it work. However, seat belt extender could possibly be needed in some cases.

Yes. I've doublechecked with safety groups and it's appropriate to use with the britax car seats, as they were made and tested with them. As far as the mini-stroller, it worked in ours much longer than I wanted to use it in the car seat. We have a pavillion and by about 17lbs the cushioning in the seat was enough to not need this and it made her more uncomfortable by that point (we used it from birth, so she did like it when she was 7lbs.) The stroller, I used it longer because it kept her a bit warmer along the sides and let her rest her head a bit more. She's a year old now and took it out this week. Yes.

We're having the *exact* same problem as scientific illustrator. The Britax Roundabout will not sit securely in the middle of our Prius. The car seat base is more narrow than the middle cushion so the car seat tilts and wobbles. We are trying to return the Roundabout and are looking for suggestions on which convertible car seat will work. Please advise!! Thank you

Yup, very simple, I've used both methods. There is a hole next to where the kids thigh would rest on the seat and you can pull the seat belt or latch system belt straight up and away from the buckle to tighten it down instead of out and to the side as you have to do on most seats. I love the design of this car seat. Feels much more secure in any system.

No latch capability is needed. This car seat is only secured by using the seat belt in your car. When your child is NOT in the car seat, it is safest to buckle the car seat in using the seat belt, otherwise it could cause serious harm if you're in an accident because it is not secured by a latch system.

I just called Britax & no it does not work with the B-Safe. I have it too. Guess i'll just use the stroller its so lightweight anyway...

No, most boosters do not tether to the vehicle. The child's weight plus the seatbelt keep the booster in place while they are buckled in, and when the child is not in the booster the seatbelt should be buckled around it to prevent it from flying around the car in a crash. If you are looking for a booster that tethers to the vehicle, the Britax Parkway SGL is one that I know of.
