Infant bucket suggestions

I need a new infant bucket seat for a LO due in April.
I need something that is light-weight, because with the old bucket I wasn't able to lift it out of the base by about 6mos because it was too heavy to lift with one hand while I squeezed the release catch with the other.
I do want a bucket, because I want to be able to keep the seat indoors to keep it cool during the summer, and because the first few months I'll be taking baby out of the car for a few minutes each day while dropping kids off at school.
I'm holding out on a convertible until the TFP comes to Canada, because I want the removable headrest so the seat will fit behind the driver seat with the seat all the way back (dh can only drive this way) and because the arb will make it easier to get to the harness adjuster. I don't think it will be here in time for my due date, because I haven't seen it advertised as "coming soon" yet. Anyone with concrete info on a date, please share!
So, I don't need a high-weight infant bucket, and I do need one that is easy to lift in and out of the base, and is lightweight.
What would you suggest?

Someone just posted the other day that the Baby Trend Flex-Loc was at Walmart now. It's a very narrow seat, and I'm pretty sure it's quite light. Though I think the handle has to be down, so It may take up too much room, I'm not sure. You may want to try before you buy. It's just over $100 too, so quite budget friendly. Otherwise, just a regular snugride is on the lighter side (definitely lighter than the higher weight buckets).

The handle does have to be down, but saw it yesterday and the handle doesn't protrude from the seat, also it's really narrow. Good seat with a front adjust and that actually fits a smaller newborn too! :D And available at wal-mart!
