What pushchair for a 19 month old

I recently lost my pushchair in an unfortunate incident. (It actually rolled down a bank and into a lake... !!! My DD was not in it however :)) I'm wondering whether to replace it and what with. It was an iCandy Cherry. I was extremely pleased with it and would definitely have gone on using it, probably for another year. I have a spare, quite basic though it does recline, umbrella fold buggy (Koelstra). I thought maybe this would do from now on (my DD is 19 months). But she doesn't look that comfortable in it - she slouches and her legs dangle off the seat at odd angles. I need something better but I don't know just to upgrade this lightweight one (e.g. to a Quinny Zapp Xtra which I like the look of) or go for something more solid and if so what. I need something for quick city shopping, a once-weekly 1 hour trip on the bus, and long weekend walks around the city and in parks and woods (on the beaten path, nothing too rough) nearby. My daughter's a great walker but for reasons of safety in the city if nothing else I guess I will be using a pushchair for a while yet. I'd replace the Cherry with a second-hand eBay model if it were widely available where I live (Belgium) but I haven't seen any for sale. Any thoughts or recommendations?

PS (I realised I didn't read all your responses before replying) I'm also a shortarse (5'4") so no prob tiggywunkle :). In fact you are all responding to the few concerns I had about it and I'm getting more and more convinced. I used to unclip the shoulder straps on the iCandy I had so that my DD could sit upright. And I was also wondering about whether you could adjust the footrest so that's good to know. It is big but DD didn't seem to slump when we tried it in the shop. She looked pleased when she sat in it and normally she looks like thunder any time I try to confine her anywhere, so I thought it was a good sign!!

Micralite Super lite - my all time fave big kid pushcahair. MAclarens and BJCM push like tanks in comparison IMO/E.

Ha! My DD was the same. I tried to put her in the BJCM and she arched her back and cried and Would Not Go In. Then climbed into the B Agile and started to try and do the buckles up Hmm

Much as I want one, the universe doesn't want me to have a BJCM Grin
