Britax Eclipse or Prince?

I'm looking for a car seat for DD. I had a Britax Eclipse with the DSes but it has seen better days so I'm looking to replace it.

I loved the Eclipse so was going to get that again. However I've seen the Prince online too, and it is cheaper but I cant really see the difference between them. Does anybody know?

You do know that keeping your DD rear facing is safer, don't you?

Eclipse is easier to recline then the prince. It is also a newer seat so may have more side impact protection. The prince in a renamed seat that was new about 15 years ago used to be called a freeway. With the prince you also have to re tighten the seat if you recline it or sit it up

neither.

rear face

I know about rearfacing and it is not for me thank you.

Thanks notfarming, it seemed like the Prince maybe wasn't as good, and I do like the Eclipse, the narrow base is a good fit in our car.
