Britax Roundabout vs. Century STE

[kaya]

I am at wits deciding which toddler car seat I should register for- the Britax Roundabout or Century STE. What are the pros/cons on either seats? Also, is the Britax Roundabout seat cover easy to remove for wash?

Any suggestions/advices are welcome!

Thanks in advance :)

there's not even a comparison in my mind : the roundabout (or the marathon, would be my big decision!). the ste has very low harness slots, only a 22 pound rearfacing limit (RA's is 33), and a rearfacing belt path that goes OVER the child's lap. The RA has an extremely durable and comfy cover (new directions may be to handwash and hang to dry only, though), non-twist straps, built in lockoffs, EPS foam in the head area, and a very easy to use harness adjuster.
