Everyday buggy for buses and popping in car

I'm looking for recommendations for an everyday buggy. I'll be commuting with baby on the bus three days a week - he'll be 10 months but is very small for his age so ideally with good straps and support. We have an uppababy vista which is great for the park etc and has lasted amazingly through super heavy use and two kids but is a tank and hard work on buses/trains and takes up most of the car boot. I'm tall so find lots of the lightweight buggies that have no adjustable handlebar annoyingly low. I also don't need overhead locker compatibility so it doesn't need to be super compact - I'd rather have a slightly bigger, more robust model than something optimised for travel but which is flimsy. We have some pretty rocky pavements near us that I worry might take down a tiny wheeled buggy! Was looking at the ergobaby metro + but please let me know your suggestions!

I have a vista too for longer walks / rougher terrain.

We now use mainly a yo yo. Easy to fold up, small to get on bus / in shops, can take on planes, would be v easy to get in car etc.

I’m also tall and don’t find the handle too low.

I have a bugaboo butterfly. Super easy and really good wheels.

Thanks both! I'm going to try to head to a shop that has these to try them out.

I have both egg and icandy, I prefer the egg as it’s so small, light and compact but good suspension and good on rocky roads too, I use the bus and it fits so nicely due to it being small, even with other prams on the bus I’ve never had an issue

Uppababy minu v2 is excellent, I’m 5’9 and it’s fine height wise, the canopy is really tall so my 128cm 6 year old can still fit in. Reasonable amount of basket space and quick easy to fold plus it has a shoulder strap integrated if need. It doesn’t fully recline but my 3 year old has still slept in it.
