i HATE the carseat/ stroller combos. the carseats are great, but the strollers are always HUGE and i end up buying something more compact later.
as for carseats..you want one that has the "infant" insert. it's a cushion that wraps around baby's head until they get a bit bigger, then you can remove it later on.
make sure that it has plenty of holes for the straps to be moved up while baby is growning..*the crotch buckle needs at least TWO holes too*. and i also make sure that it's FAA approved so im good when we travel.
the stroller needs to be able to lay flat like a bassenet until baby is sitting up right. (unless your using a carseat/stroller combo..then the carseat should snap into the stoller)
once my babies were old enough to support their heads i went out and bought a smaller compact stroller. the one i like is by cosco...it's the EASIEST dang stroller in the WORLD to open and close! the button is on the handle and you pull and slid it to the right and the handle collapses and it folds up nice and neat WHILE standing upright! i HATE the strollers that you have to fold down to the ground!

I use the Graco Quattro Tour Delux and I love this system. The car seat is really easy to use. The straps adjust really easy and it is really plush on the inside. The car seat snaps easily into the base in the car and very easily into the stroller. My only complaint is that the stroller is a little bulky and heavy to put in the car. However, overall the system is great and I would purchse another one in a heartbeat.

ive got the graco quattro tour deluxe. it really is worth the money and im so glad i picked it. it comes with car seat, changing bag, raincover and all the extras such as foot muffs and so on. it folds really easily and is quite light to carry. its modern and comes in loads of different colours. the best thing is that it can be used from birth to about 3 or 4.

Anything Graco--that's always a great brand and has never let us down :-)
This one looks pretty good. I love the colors and it's not too boy-ish so it would work later on just in case you had another one and it was a girl. Hope this helps! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5223220
