This is personal preference, but also based on experience. I would buy a sling over that system any day. I think a stroller is quite useful, especially if you are planning more than one child, but mine was rarely used for a baby. It was much easier to wear to move around a shopping centre etc while wearing a baby, than pushing a pram. Especially near Christmas LOL! Sure you still have to transfer to/from car and sling, but a young baby will usually sleep through that, and for some time after that they usually go back to sleep easily.
Not to mention that it's so much nicer having baby close, and it is also means they settle more easily. Studies have shown that babies that are worn cry a lot less than those that are not!
We will be getting the Peg Perego Primmo Viaggio car seat system. It is compatible with the Bugaboo stroller and is easily transported from the car to the stroller.
The car seat is about $450 and the bugaboo stroller is $1500. I'm pretty sure the Peg Perego Skate (which is the matching pram for the system) is about $1400.
From memory it can carry a baby up to 9kgs. After that you will need a new car seat.
You can also buy extra bases for the system - so if you have more than one car - you can install a base in both cars.
