BRITAX ROUNDABOUT # 16109S;, CORRECTLY IT DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH ROUGH TO PLACE THE CHILD IN THE CARSEAT. THERE IS MUCH MORE PLAY WITHOUT THE FIX KIT TO ACTUALLY GET THE CHILD IN. THEIR 800 NUMBER THEY GIVE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK TO ANYONE. FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE CARSEAT, I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED. DO I USE IT WITHOUT THE ADDTIONAL HARNESS OR DO I TRASH OVER $200? THANK YOU
