Buggy for taller toddler

DD is 2.2, quite tall for her age. I spent weeks researching buggies before DD arrived, and bought an Uppababy Vista, which I absolutely love - its been a great buggy. But now DD is bigger, and she walks a lot, and I'm wondering if perhaps we should sell the Uppababy and get something smaller and lighter.

I'm dithering about it because she still fits the Uppababy fine, although her head is quite close to the hood now, and her feet are past the bottom of the seat which makes getting the rain cover on a pain! Most bigger toddlers I see out and about are in the smaller strollers, and as she now walks quite a lot, I am often pushing this massive buggy around with nothing other than my bag in it. But as we do walk into town a lot, it does still get used for those longer trips, so would want something equally comfortable to push.

Any suggestions for a decent replacement, something she can climb in and out of herself easily, with decent storage space? Not tiny wheels as the paths are a little rough in places. And that will suit a taller child, as she is in the 91st centile. Thank you!

Although it has small wheels I'm suggesting a m&p armadillo city as I've heard the suspension is good. I have a babyhome emotion, which has little wheels but pretty much goes over everything.

If you want something as easy/nice to push as your vista imo you would want some decent suspension and a bar handle, which isn't that common on small pushchairs. Otherwise you could go for something midsize like a city mini or similar.
