Help me pick a stroller that’s actually practical for daily use in Mumbai/India 😭

FTM with a newborn (6W) and deep in stroller research paralysis. Looking for real-world feedback from moms who’ve actually used theirs long term.
Trying to choose between strollers like Loopie, Joie, Chicco, Stokke YOYO etc and fully overwhelmed 😭

My priorities are:
Smooth ride on uneven Indian roads/pavements
Good suspension + not too shaky for newborn stage
Easy one-hand fold/open >> BIG ONE!!!
Not insanely bulky/heavy for car boots/lifts/travel
Can handle daily walks + malls + occasional flight travel
Good canopy/ventilation for Mumbai heat
Comfortable recline for naps
Easy to maneuver solo
Decent basket space

Ideally usable till toddler years and worth the money
I don’t want something huge just because it looks luxurious, but also don’t want an ultra-light stroller that feels flimsy. Basically trying to find the sweet spot between sturdy + practical.
Would love recommendations/regrets/favorites. Especially if you compared multiple brands before buying. Which stroller ended up being genuinely convenient in day-to-day life?

I am 6w postpartum and have just got my period. I know that prolactin inhibits the menstrual cycle. I have been an adequate/borderline overproducer. Struggled a bit with cligged duct and leaky painful breasts but I really want to and enjoy nursing my LO. He was borderline LBW and so I was very determined to get him to catchup. He is a good feeder and I want this to continue atleast 6-8m.
I am spiraling and worrying about it.
I have heard people not get periods for months after delivery. I had a C-section but was able to nurse from day 1.
Can any moms help me understand this better? Does this mean my body is recovering better? Neutral? Idk what to feel.

To add to it ny breasts do feel a bit less sore and softer today. I dont know if thats just regulation or dip in supply? My baby got his 6w vaccine so baby and me are both low today 😭
