Question about travel systems

Hi ladies! DH and I have been doing some research into baby gear and I'm trying to get some opinions from other moms. We are trying to decide between getting a travel system or an infant car seat and a lighter weight stroller. I've heard people complain about how travel system strollers are so bulky, but I think it's going to be easier to just attach the car seat to the stroller in the beginning rather than trying to get the baby out of the car seat and into the lighter weight stroller.
If you've made it this far I'd appreciate any opinions! Thanks! :-)

Re: Question about travel systems
We got a travel system, the baby trend jogger.
Yes, they are larger, and a bit heavier. But it is really nice to just pop the carrier out of the seat and attach to the stroller and vice versa.
This is what my step daughter had and it was really nice. (at least according to my husband)
As for the stroller, I like the travel versions only because that thing becomes your own personal shopping cart anywhere you go. Kids always need stuff...and frankly so do you, and there is so much more storage (baskets, cup holders, etc) on a regular travel stroller verses the light weight. I was so said when we had to get rid of the big stroller and go to an umbrella stroller...there is no where to put anything.
But, as you will find, everyone is different and all have preferences one way or the other. Best thing you can do is look at how much you will use it, where, how, and then try out the different ones at like a BRU (like it or not, they have the best in-store selection, but you don't have to buy there, we got a great deal at Walmart online)
Hope that helps.
