Lightweight stroller with adjustable handles that works ok off-road?

Hello

I'm trying to find a lightweight stroller for my 10-month old that would work for both me (under 5 foot) and DH (over 6 foot) so adjustable handles are a must, from around 98 to 110 cm ideally.

The ones that I have found that do adjust and weigh less than 10kg don't seem to be able to cope with uneven pavements which are everywhere in my area!

I would like it to have an easy small fold and not be bulky. I currently use the Cybex Balios S which is great for different heights and for bumpy surfaces but is too bulky for me to fold and carry.

Any suggestions hugely welcome! Or am I looking for something that doesn't exist?

Thanks!

Mountain buggy swift! We have the urban jungle so slightly bigger & heavier, but love it. Handlebar has a rotation so rotates up and down to change the height IYSWIM. Newer version has a one handed fold, we have the older version so two handed fold but it’s so easy! Swift is very similar, slightly smaller seat and smaller wheels but still good Smile

Yes we have the swift, I’m 5’4, dh 6’2 and the handle height is fine for us both.

It’s not super super off-road, but we live in the countryside and snow and it handles all that day to day fine. It’s 9.1kg, and folds quite compact ( the wheels all quick release if you need smaller for car)

It gets bounced up 15 steps to our front door daily.

That's great, thank you both so much for that suggestion, I hadn't come across it somehow!

It's rather hard to combine such a handle height range, all-terrain-ishness, and also a small, compact fold. I would go for a Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. but The small fold is always quite a problem - I mean, it's relative, and what one says is compact the other says it's too large for her/his taste.

In any case, a non-reversible, forward-facing seat would be my go-to, if your little one cal live with it - it will save a lot of the bulkiness.
