We got a travel stroller (baby jogger city mini) with our running stroller (baby jogger summit x3). Husband hated the travel stroller as the push bar was way too low for him, so we just take the running stroller when flying now (they're both one-hand fold and the attachments for the car seat are interchangeable).
It’s all I’ve tried but we have the Baby Jogger Citi Mini and I feel like it checks most, if not all, of these boxes. Maybe a little big for errands (I’ve never taken it in the grocery store) but I preferred to baby wear for that anyways.
3. It would be two but our Graco stroller’s front wheel sprung a leak and we couldn’t figure out how to remove it in order to change out the tube (took it to a bike shop and everything). My husband cut the tube out before I could figure out how to patch it.
We have an umbrella stroller we no longer use because our three year old doesn’t fit it anymore and a Baby Jogger City Mini that’s our daily driver when we need it.
Citi mini jogger. Folds up easily and the straps are pretty comprehensive. Youngest 2 were 24” at birth and have consistently been 99.99th percentile since then.
We loved our Mockingbird up until roughly 1, and we're looking forward to it as a double when baby #2 comes. In the interim with our toddler, we've got a City Mini Jogger that we like a lot. Great for travel and day-today. I wouldn't have loved it with a newborn, but great with a toddler.
If you're in the US/UK/etc., I highly suggest FB marketplace. You can get great used strollers there. We didn't get our Mockingbird, knowing it would likely be out twice main stroller, but have gotten two AMAZING City Mini Joggers (on for us and one for grandparents) for under $100 each.
If you’re only going to use it in Ubers and not every day I would get a lightweight car seat like the Cosco Scenera and a stroller that is somewhere between travel and tank, like the Uppababy Minu. The Minu V3 can be used from birth but I had and liked the V2 with the uppababy bassinet (needs adaptors but they’re easy to get) and loved that the bassinet was also approved for overnight sleep, we used it as our primary bassinet.
The only downside to this set up is that the cosco scenera can’t connect to the uppababy minu. We had a uppababy mesa for that but honestly it was expensive and we used it so, so rarely. And even more rarely used it with the stroller. I only don’t regret it because we are about to have a second so at least 2 kids will rarely have used it lol.
The Cosco scenera is compatible with the Baby Jogger City Mini which is also a smaller stroller like the minu so that might be a better combo. The scenera is great as a car seat because it is crazy light and easy to install and lasts fairly long- my almost 3 year old still fits well!

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
