A little background: I am 5'11" and my husband is 6'3" -- so when researching infant car seats before my son was born, I focused on seats that would work for a larger baby. (and now he's 6 months and 20 pounds) I also read Baby Bargains cover to cover for recommendations on all kinds of gear. I like their style, and am a no-fuss kind of girl. We settled on the Graco Snugride 32 and this frame as our infant stroller combo.
After 6 months of use, the stroller has been great. They've designed the system to be pretty fool-proof. Everything that is red does something for you -- locks, unlocks, snaps, clicks, etc. It folds up easily and I like the latch they've designed. (The latch/locking mechanism is something that I've only really started to appreciate as we've begun to research other stroller options.)
PROS: compact, lightweight, easy to fold, latches well, wheels lock easily, the handle height adjusts for taller parents, the basket is huge and easily accessible.
CONS: sometimes it's a little hard to steer and I've bumped into curbs and walls while not paying attention. This is a minor complaint.
In hindsight it may have been a better idea t get a different stroller -- one that the infant seat could snap into, but would also allow him to grow with. We've looked at the Metrolite but I think the latch would drive me crazy; in the store it never seemed to catch correctly. We ended up buying a second-hand Peg Perego Aria MT this weekend and it looks like it's going to be great. We also just bought a new convertible car seat too, because although this one will still work for awhile, he's way too heavy to be carting around between cars.
