Holiday stroller for a stroller hater

Help me pushchair fans! I have a vista which I like for everyday use (walk everywhere) and a Baby Jogger Summit which I love for off roading and running with. We live in London and I normally use a sling on the tube or DD walks (she's just 2).

We're planning a holiday to Malaysia in May. Previous trips abroad I've just taken the sling, but she's getting less keen on that and it will be very hot and humid so it'd be good to have a pushchair. She also still naps and would sleep in the evenings while we had dinner (jet lag permitting!). There will be internal flights as well as the international ones plus trains and busus.

So I think we need a small, light stroller but I do want it to recline.

I hate strollers! Too fiddly to push and rattly.

Budget isn't an issue but I would want to sell it afterwards, especially if it cost more than £150 ish. I'd prefer 4 wheels.

So far the shortlist is:
A Maclaren
Babyzen yoyo (expensive but good for the plane)
Uppababy g luxe (good sunshade)
Micralite supralite (better to push?)
Graco evo mini

If 3 wheels theb maybe oyster gem or citi mini zip.

Help!

Just to add another to the mix - they're only£100 in Mothercare at the moment but the Silver Cross Pop is great for holidays. Huge UV50 sunhood. Easy to fold, light, lays pretty flat, nice to push. Worth a look.

The yoyo is here but the zip hasn't arrived yet... I am getting inpatient waiting for it! The yoyo is vet impressive. I love folding it up and slinging it over my shoulder. Resisting the temptation to take it out for a proper spin until I've seen the zip too!

Tricky, mumble! I tool it from SE London to Cambridge last week. Train, tube (broken lift), train, bus the other end as was off to a village, and it was brilliant! I've always just used the sling on that journey before.

We had a Vista (fab) from birth then downgraded to a Babyzen Yoyo. We got the YoYo for £180 as an ex demo model. It's good but I don't think its worth its full price. If I were you I would get the Uppababy g luxe
