Well, after all that deliberation about the myride I up and bought a Britax Marathon. After the comments yesterday about the cover coming off at the top and thinking about how new of a seat was, I decided to go with something I knew I loved for when DS grows out of his SS1, so we ordered it! It was $200 and free shipping from Amazon. My husband called Britax(since he couldn't find out how to get someone live at Amazon), about how old the seat could be. They were very helpful and we think it will likely be one year or less. I can live with that for the price and it is the dark grey/light grey which is what my husband wanted(YUCK!) and will look nice next to the grey GN we got for DD(double YUCK!). Not a huge fan of grey, but it is his car so oh well. That will take DS to at least age 5. By then we can see what new seats are out(hopefully with super cool BOY covers!) and get him one then. I just couldn't pass up the price and losing a year for $100 off was worth it to me since I won't be having anymore kids. Thanks for all the help and insight here. When DS outgrows his sister's roundabout I will be back! Maybe then I will decide on the myride to replace it..who knows!
