Which Infant Carseat/Travel System have you had the best experience with?

I have just a few weeks to find an infant car seat. I have been looking at everything I can find and the ones I like usually tend to have bad reviews about issues with them.

I got the Evenflo Litemax 35 and absolutely love it. The head support, all the extra padding, the ease of going in and out of the base, and the fact it's lightweight all make it seem like a top notch infant carseat. Only one problem.. the base is much too long compared to almost every other base out there. It doesn't fit in my car properly. It is way too close to the front seat making it difficult to take in and out of the base while installed in the car. I have adjusted the front seat as much as I can but can't get it to fit right. 

I've considered a travel system, but I can't make my mind up on which one to get. I usually look at the display models out on the floor and mess around with them. Some seem too difficult to connect the carseat to the stroller. Most of my problems with travel systems are that I either don't like the stroller, or I don't like the car seat.

Which infant carseat or travel system, or any other combinations have you have the best experience with?

    Convertible car seat, use a wrap/sling or a stroller you like.

    We've used Chicco KeyFit 30s, with the stroller frame rather than a big ole travel system. Then upgrade to the Nextfit seats when they were ready for convertible seats. Nextfits are *heavy* though, so if you intend to take your convertible car seat in and out of the car a lot you might want something more lightweight. They were fine for us since we never removed them unless we were flying somewhere.
