Anybody have the Chicco Keyfit and like it?

Anybody have the Chicco Keyfit and like it??
Ive been trying so hard to love the Graco carseats, bc they are supposed to be so great, but I just dont, bc of the padding issue, so now Im thinking of the Chicco keyfit, but am not sure. Anyone out there have one and want to put in a plug for it?

We have the Chicco Cortina stroller/car seat combo, which is part of the Keyfit system (picture below of what I have). DH and I both like it. The carrier was one of the lightest carriers, which was important to me because I'm little, but it still feels really solid. As a car seat, it is easy in/easy out and is relatively easy to install (even if your car doesn't have the LATCH system). Audrey seems to be comfortable in it and usually falls asleep as soon as she's in. It does have an extra padding insert for newborns, but you can take it out if your baby doesn't like it or need it. I've only used the stroller a couple of times, but was really happy with how smooth it rolled (even on super bumpy asphalt in a parking lot) and how easy it was to maneuver in tight places in the store. Granted, I don't have anything else to compare it to, but I really like what we have and it works well for us.
