Small stroller for big baby

I have a 9 month old, who is already 24lbs! Her pram is so heavy, so we are looking for a stroller that can accommodate a bigger weight, we are also looking for one that folds small. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Babyzen yoyo goes up to 18kg and folds very small. Maclaren techno xt goes up to 50lbs and is a great pram bit folds like a typical umbrella stroller so isn't as compact.

Sympathies, DS was a 98 percentile baby and the icandy we had soon became too heavy to move with him in it!

Silver cross strollers are the only (mainstream) ones that go up to 25kg.

Baby jogger city GT not a stroller but we have a (just) three year old on the 98th percentile for height and weight and she’s fine in it.. I used a stroller we’d got for holidays when all my friends swapped from their big buggies but hated it and swapped back. Suspension is good and it’s still easy to use despite her weight.. will also take her up to 25kg. One hand folding and is quite flat in a car boot when folded..

Thanks for all you suggestions, we ideally would like one under £200 though I expect this will be hard!

We recently bought the ergobaby compact stroller. Goes up to 18kg and has v good back/leg support. RRP is £299 but we found it online for £220 so worth looking in Easter sales maybe?

We bought a second hand Maclaren Techno XT (£50) and it's served us really well. DS was a tall toddler so soon reached the height of the hood on his buggy. We like the Maclaren as it's a good height for pushing, narrow width (but the seat is roomy), there's just no extra faffy bits on it and although it's an umbrella fold, it's narrow.

Worth a look.
