Mamas & Papas Cruise buggy reviews

I'm on the lookout for a new buggy / stroller for DS who's just turned 2.
We currently have a Hauck one that we've had since birth but it's a bit unwieldy so I'm looking for an umbrella fold type one that's a bit smaller & easier to handle.
The Mamas & Papas Cruise buggy has caught my eye but I'm trying to work out if it's the right thing for us.

Need/want:
*Small depth & width so I can get it on the bus easily.
*Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.
*Easy to fold/ unfold, ideally with one hand.
Basket that can hold a decent amount of stuff - I have a rucksack changing bag but often put shopping or toys underneath.
*Wheels that can handle city walks with uneven surfaces - I was put off of the Yoyo because the wheels are shit on anything other than smooth tarmac.
*Sun/rain hood with a sunshield bit at the front.
*Raincover included or able to buy one at a not ridiculous price.

DS doesn't nap in his pram so I'm not too fussed about the reclining feature and we don't have a car so I don't need it to fit in a boot.

Does anyone have one and do you think its suitable for me? £100 is my top budget for this, as I'm expecting DS to need the buggy less over the next few years.

Cruise Buggy - Green

Enjoy the ride with our comfortable, light and durable buggy. As the name suggests, our Cruise buggy is the perfect companion for daily strolls. With adjustable lie-back comfort and an umbrella fold, it's ideal for holidays at home.

Have you tried the yoyo? Ours is fine over normal day to day stuff, have used on cables and dirt roads and over grass fine. Usually two wheels like the picture get things stuck in them. ( we have a large three wheeler off road also, but the yoyo has been great all over the world)

I did try out the Yoyo before DS was born and it just seemed to bounce around on uneven pavement and bumpy earth & grass. Everyone I know who has one says the wheels annoy them but they like the small size of it and the accessories you can get for it.
With how old DS is I don't really want to spend that much money on a new Yoyo when he'll be spending less & less time sat in it. Even the second hand ones are pricey.

hmm not sure. The yoyo has suspension in wheels so a super smooth ride. My brother recently got one secondhand for £120, then bought new wheels for £40. My almost 4 year old will use on next trip still as it goes up to 22kg, where as most small ones only 15kg.

I think you can get better than an umbrella fold nowadays. They don’t usually handle off road well at all, and will be far worse than the yoyo if you didn’t like that. Have you considered mountain buggy nano? The Phil and teds go? They all fold smaller for public transport
