I asked about this last week and went with the Evenflo Triumph. I found it on sale on diapers.com and there was an additional 10% off (good through tomorrow, I believe) so I got TWO for $225 total; less than the Britax would have been, even with a coupon. They arrived the next day, too, BTW, with free shipping.
So far, Collin seems to like it A LOT more than his infant carseat. It was fairly easy to install and seems comfortable. I really like that it is rear-facing up to 35 pounds.
oooh... I was just going to say to NOT get the roundabout. Everyone ends up getting too tall for the roundabout before you can switch to a booster.
If you're planning to have a second kid though, you'll need a second car seat anyway, so you can just get a car seat later that the first one can be bigger in and put the second one in the roundabout.
Is it worth paying more for the Britax Marathon or Boulevard above the Roundabout? Or the Evenflo? No - get the Evenflo. We hated the Boulevard and sold it and got 2 Evenflos w/ the procedes. Same safe seat but more room to grow in our opinion. Easier to buckle and adjust.

We have the Evenflo and I love it.
