I have a Roundabout, a Marathon, and now a Sunshine Kids Monterey.  I love the Marathon.  I do think Britax has a better option out there, that fits kids when they grow larger than 48 inches, and so if I were to do it all again, I'd probably buy two of those.  But if you want to switch your kids to a booster seat at 48 inches (my dd is 5 at that height) than the Marathon is great.  I loved my Roundabout, but would skip it next time and go right to the Marathon.  Britax really is the master at safe, cute seats that STAY where they're supposed to in the seat.  I cringe when I see parents with seats that have no top tether (even before LATCH!) and the seats just aren't secure in the seat.  These seats, when installed properly, do not move in the seat.  The covers are comfortable and my girls never complained of being uncomfortable in their seats.
