I promised last week I'd get the ComfortSport from my mom and take some comparison shots of it with the Roundabout to show how little difference there is measurement-wise. There has been some discussion of the newer ComfortSports being smaller than the older ones and I think I have one of the older, 'bigger' ones. Hopefully someone with access to a new CS can post the measurements for comparison.
Here's my findings on my seats:
