Lightweight compact stroller that's still good on rough ground and curbs?

I'm looking for a pushchair (for older baby/toddler so doesn't need to be a travel system), I would like one that is really lightweight and folds small, doesn't take up much boot space etc. But the streets near my house including the school run route are all uneven slabs and potholes in the concrete, very rough going, and to get on and off my street there is a small flight of big, shallow stairs (so the whole pushchair can fit on one step and the steps are shallow, so it's like going up and down a series of curbs). Is there a stroller on the market that can handle this despite being light and compact? Wondering particularly about the Bugaboo Butterfly which I like the look of but the wheels are so tiny!

I used to have a Bee which is very similar to the Butterfly- same wheels- and it was terrible for getting stuck on rough pavements. I loved it in many ways but that was definitely a weak point.

Have a look at three wheelers like babyjogger city mini or out n about nipper. I had the double version of the Nipper for a bit when I had two under 3 and it was SO easy to push, on any surface. Not quite as light and compact as the Bee but not bad.
