Graco modes nest; and then we purchased one of the Graco 360s when he was about 10 months old. BUT I still use the stroller w/the toddler seat attachment. It was also great while using the infant seat that it just clicked right onto the stroller!
We got the Graco 3 in 1. It's closer to $400 but It's a car seat that snaps into the stroller. And it comes with the bassinet option that changes into a toddler seat. I'm very pro multi use/multi stage. I will probably drop money on a jogging stroller this summer because we like to go hiking.
+1 to stroller system
We used a system that came with a stroller frame, an infant bucket seat (snaps into stroller frame and car seat base), a car seat base, and a toddler stroller seat (for when they outgrow the car seat). The ability to keep your baby in the bucket seat and seamlessly transfer them from car to stroller or car to home is amazingly convenient. Our system’s stroller frame easily folded down (making storing in car easy) and could even stand upright while folded.
This also helps if you have any more children because you can save the infant car seat and car seat base for the younger ones. (Provided the car seat’s safety rating doesn’t expire between kids!)
OP I’m 6 feet so not as tall as you but I find in general strollers require a bit of a hunch, yeah. Maybe there’s a good one with an adjustable handle or something like that?
EDIT: not sure if this is available where you are but we went with a Graco 3-in-1 system.
We have a Graco Modes (ours doesn't have adjustable handle, but I've seen one that does and otherwise looks the same) and it's been great. Kiddo is about to turn 2, the stroller gets daily use (multiple long walks a day), has survived a cross country move, multiple planes (with gate checking), in and out of car.... It's put in more work and survived more than most of my friends' much more expensive strollers 🤷🏻♀️
I have a Graco modes and I can’t stand it. It is good for the mall or whatever, but I cannot use it outside, I get taken out by a crack in the sidewalk. I ended up getting a bob double jogger for school runs, and now that my kids are getting big enough that I only need one stroller spot, I cannot bring myself to go back to the Graco. I’ve been looking into seeing if anyone local wants to trade their bob single for my Bob double.
I think it really depends on what you’re using it for! I walk my oldest to and from school and we get a ton of snow here, the Bob gets through it all without much effort on my part! I’m not sure I would bother with something so heavy duty otherwise! The graco is fine for what it is, but definitely an indoors stroller.

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