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.
You asking what from birth kit, right? The stroller plus basinette package.
It's a smaller shop but go to Mini Jake in williamsburg to shop strollers. They will be honest about what stroller is best for your lifestyle and apartment. I heard them tell a couple not to buy a Vista because they don't have a car and live in a walkup.
Something to keep in mind, those big strollers, Cruz and Vista, won't fit through the aisles of a corner store or a boutique. You also won't be able to lift it without help. One day, your newborn will be a toddler get something you can carry folded with one hand. The other hand is for your child's hand.
Baby Jogger City Mini and Uppababy Minu both have a decent size basket and and are in your budget.

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