Budget lightweight compact folding pram

Need a lightweight pram option - currently have only ever used our Icandy peach for our now nearly 4 year old and 2 year old.

I’ve narrowed it down to the graco mvayo and the joie litetrax. Both similar in price (130/150) and features. I’m just sceptical
of how they will handle the mixed terrain that I deal with on a frequent basis as I don’t drive so walk everywhere if it’s just me. Where I live there are high curbs, cobbles and a few up hill roads. Also hoping my eldest will accept that he isn’t standing on the back of our icandy anymore and will walk everywhere but may need to consider getting an actual buggy board at some point if we fully replace our current pram with a lightweight option.

I did have my heart set on the bugaboo butterfly for a really long time but no point spending that much money now that my eldest is nearly 4 and starting school in September and my youngest who isn’t 3 until November but I’m sure will only
need a pram for another 2 years max?

The main reason I want something lighter and with compact fold is because we’re going away to Cornwall in the summer (first proper family holiday) and also we have lived with our icandy in our front room (dining room) for the past 4 years as our front door opens into the room (no hallway) and the icandy is too bulky to keep taking up and down our basement stairs.

Have you looked for second hand?

Cobbles are one thing but why would they not be able to cope with high kerbs/hills? You have to manage those by lifting up the back/front wheels, you don't just slam over them.

I’m not sure if this video will be helpful, but there’s recommendations in here for the best ultra compact strollers and also ones which are good for their price in the second category.
