[quote=Anonymous]OP, some things to note that others have already touched upon. Most strollers have adapters to fit infant car seats, so you can use your infant car seat instead of a bassinet for your modular stroller until they're big enough for the standard seat. You can also turn the standard seat around so that it's facing you and recline them into a similar position. I believe it's recommended a child sit reversed in a stroller until they can hold their head up on their own, but it's been a while.

Both of my kids were in the infant bucket until they were 10-12 months. It's great for all the reasons people listed, especially having multiple bases between cars (although you can also safely -- and legally -- install them without a base, if you're in a pinch.) I had daycare kids, and the bucket makes pickup and drop off a lot easier too, because you can load them up inside, and then quickly click them into the car. The infant car seats ONLY install rear facing.

Convertible car seats can be installed rear or forward facing. They are BIG. We got one of those 4 ever extends that go all the way to backless booster, which was great in theory, because you figure you can use it forever, but kids can be gross, so part of me wishes we got something less beefy that we could just trade out every few years.
