Pram / travel system for countryside

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a good countryside pram. I'm FTM with baby due in May so don't really know much about them at all so any help is appreciated! We live rurally, but I don't yet know where I might take the pram as most of the dog walking routes here are hardly suitable for any type of pram, but there are some bridleways etc. that are better, so something quite versatile would be nice. Ideally something suitable from birth for as long as possible.

The brands I've so far come across as being solid and designed for outdoorsy lifestyle are Cybex, Thule, Noordi and Emmaljunga, but I've heard Emmaljunga can be quite heavy, which I probably don't want. The pram doesn't have to be carried up stairs though. I'll probably need something that folds up easily and fits into the car as I have to drive everywhere to get to civilization.

@MiracleBaby2022 I'm umming and ahhing about the carrycot too, currently pregnant with my second and I think we got around 8 weeks use our of the carry cot on our quinny as DD hated it, they do a newborn insert for the out n about which I may get instead this time and will get an ergo carrier again for the earlier days too rather than just rely on the pushchair

@annlee3817 only 8 weeks use, gosh...

What's the newborn insert? I'll have to look that up on their website.

I was thinking (as we live in a flat), that if the baby's asleep after a walk I'd need the carrycot (or the insert perhaps that you mentioned?) to get her upstairs without waking her. Wondering how easily they clip off for that purpose? Wouldn't want to wake her and certainly couldn't leave her downstairs. I'm planning on using a sling a lot while she's still tiny, but for really long walk (I do a lot of them) I'll need an Out N About or something similar
