I used the britax safe sound that my council hired out - it was great. My baby use to love sleeping in it and I could easily take the capsule out and leave him on the kitchen table or where ever fast asleep! He out grew it at around 4 months.
We had a Maxi Cosi for Buster because it clipped right onto our pram. However...DH and I both found it very awkward to carry. I'm sure they're not the easiest things to lug around but the handle just seemed a really odd shape and was quite thin where you gripped onto.
I would NOT get the two handled one (Britax one). I had one very similar to this through Kidsafe for my first two babies and it was not comfy to carry.
With DD we bought a One Safe brand one 2nd hand and it was great! One handle design is better than two, I think. She was in it (and took it out of the car, carried it into friend's houses, kindy etc) until she hit the 9kg weight limit (at about 5 months!). It didn't clip into our stroller but it was still good. We used it like a rocker/seat thing too while we were at home.
Some people complain that they are too heavy etc, but I found it was ok (though I am pretty muscly).
