We have a Bugaboo Frog that I bought off a friend second hand - I do like it but if I had to go buy another one brand new, I'd look at the UppaBaby Vistas - they seem to be compact-ish and have nice storage - the storage on ours is a bit of a PITA. Check out kijiji - there are some very decent strollers out there for a good price.
As for car seats, it really doesn't matter which one you buy - if you want one to go in the stroller, you'll buy a bucket and they're all fine. No matter which bucket you buy, it'll be a PITA to carry once the kid hits around 15 lbs. My daughter outgrew the height limit on the bucket before the weight limit at 11 months (actually she's still not at the weight limit three months later) and so we moved her from the bucket to a rear facing Britax that stays in the car. Those seats can be used for infants as well if you don't want a bucket seat.
