Your thoughts on Peg Perego Si and Primo Viaggio Car Seat?

I found a travel system using these two peg perego items, and was wondering what your thoughts were on the stroller and the carseat. Im liking the fact that the stroller is quite lightweight and can be used as part of a travel system (its actually sold as a travel system with the Primo Viaggio car seat at babies r us!).

So just wondering if you liked these items or if you hated them, and please give me reasons

I live in the UK and have the primo viaggio car seat, but incase it is different I have included the link as I don't want it to be the wrong item (over here they are exclusive to the shop mamas and papas)

I must say I love mine, I have the isofix version with the isofix base permanently in the car so the seat just clips in, no fiddling with belts every time we take it out. In addition I take the base out if we are travelling in another isofix compatible car. Ok enough about the isofix, incase you aren't getting that one.

The seat itself is great, a bit on the heavy side, seemed fine when I was picking it up in the store, but now my baby is 16lb at 4 months and only due to get bigger, the carrying her in a car seat is out, unless literally from car to house, but to be fair I bet that is the same with most seats.
I hardly ever used the seat with the travel system, even though I had one, I just preferred to pick my daughter out of the seat and lay her down in the pram (stroller) - but again that is personal preference and I would have been the same in any car seat/travel system, personally I'm just not a fan of babies being scrunched up in those seats, when for the sake of briefly waking them they can go in a flat roomy stroller.

The seat itself seems very safe and sturdy, it is beautifully built and I have never had a problem with it.

Mine goes in a travel system with this stroller:
