Can anyone recommend me a pram?

I don't know where to start! I've read endless reviews online but they're a bit confusing and contradictory.

What I want:
-Suitable for cities AND country walks off-road
-Not too heavy as my town is very hilly and I don't want to die walking up hills
-Easy to fold up and put in the boot (doesn't need to be a tiny fold but I'd prefer it to be quick and not require any bits taking off

I don't mind:
-If it has a carrycot or not. I usually use a sling for the newborn stage, although I'd be happy with a carrycot if it came with one.
-If it's carseat compatible- I'd never use this anyway.

Colour preferance is to have an all black frame as silver scratches but I'm not too fussed.

Any ideas?

Uppababy Vista here too!
Nice and sturdy, easy to fold, massive basket which is amazing.

Thank you, I was actually pretty tempted by the Fox, just put off by the price. I will go for that one as it ticks all boxes.

The fox 3 is on sale at the moment, I’m not ready to buy yet as only 10 weeks, but they’re massively reduced, hoping they’re still available in a few months!

I don't have the Bugaboo Fox but I've used one and LOVED it. Unfortunately my car is too small so I'll be opting for a Babyzen Yoyo next time, but would definitely get the Fox if I could!

Out and about is amazing! I literally don’t know how people function with other prams when they go for country walks, over muddy terrain etc. it kept me sane during maternity and when we were attempting hikes with 2 under 2 who didn’t t like to be carried. It reclines for newborn and you can jog/run when the Lo is 6 months old +. We got a cocoon from Eazy Twist cybex as it wasn’t stupidly bulky and it was great.

I have a very similar list of wants to the op and I am looking at the fox so that’s good to read. Are there any particular negatives you can think of? I’ll go and view in the shops when it’s time but thinking of trying to get a fox3 to save some money and they won’t be in the shops, just the 5.

Only negative I have is that I loved the pram so much I didn't measure it for my boot (Peugeot 208) and I have to pop a wheel off to put it in the boot - but honestly, love the pram so much it's worth it. Accessories are a tad expensive, but fantastic quality. We have the breezy liner for the summer and the standard cosytoes for the winter - both excellent! Ours is the fox2, the fox3 had just come out (it's the same as the fox2 with upgraded materials for the seats and more ventilation in the carry cot) I couldn't justify an extra £500 at the time for the colour, so went with the all back set in a black Friday sale with carseat and isofix for £1100. The fox 3 at the time was nearer £1600 as it was brand new! Absolutely LOVE the pram, everyone thought I was crazy spending so much but then they push it and go oh isn't this lovely! It's so easy to push my 7 year old nephew pushes it back from school if my DC is at their nans!
