We have the Roundabout and I love it!! It's so comfy - DS asleep the second I put him in the car (which he doesn't do in DH's car where we have the Graco Triumph).
We have it for Claire and love it. We plan to get the same one for Keira when she finally hits 20 lbs! It is quite big which I guess could be a problem if you have a small car and are planning on fitting more than one carseat in it at a time, but it's not obnoxiously huge. I researched quite a bit before purchasing ours and although it is pretty pricey, the reviews I read on it made me confident in spending the extra cash. It rates very high in side impact safety and that was important to me.

We ended up getting the Roundabout 50 and love it. It is as big as the Boulevard/Marathon, but a 50lb. limit. The price was the same as the original Roundabout - $199. I kind of thought the Boulevard was pricey.
We switched to a BLVD when DS was 6 months adjusted - he's be 4yrs old in January and we all still LOVE this seat. My favorite things about it are the fact that you can adjust the strap height with a knob instead of having to unthread and rethread and the side impact protection wings - safety combined with the fact that they make great pillows for kids who want to sleep in the car.
If I could go back in time I would buy this seat again in a heartbeat and if anything happened to this one I would replace it with another one :-)
Have it, love it! It'll last a long time and I think the True Side Impact Protection head wings are a very important safety feature. It's super easy to install (even on an airplane) and I love the no re-thread harness adjuster.
