I think you already have a great infant seat... yes, you are using it like a convertible, no big deal. So why do you want to get rid of a perfectly good seat that he still fits in? I'd save the money and leave the kids where they are until one or both of them outgrows their seats.

There will probably be newer, better seats on the market at that time for you to choose from. ;) :)

One thing I am wondering - is your daughter in the Roudabout rearfacing or forward facing? Both my girls outgrew their roundabout rear facing at 22 months due to height. Rear facing is much safer then forward facing and if you are wanting to keep your daughter rearfacing longer, you might want to get a larger seat to keep her rearfacing until she is 33-35 pounds in a different seat. The marathon, evenflo triumph advance, or even the radian (if it fits in your car well) would be good choices since they accomodate children a lot longer rearfacing and allow a child to stay harnessed forward facing much longer then most of the other seats on the market today.

You also mentioned you have an AOE... if your daughter has outgrown the RA, rearfacing, then you could use the AOE rearfacing for her.
