Looking for a lightweight stroller with the following criteria 
- have or have an option of bar by kids
- decent (doesn't have to be large but enought to fit 2 bags) storage basket
- less than 18lbs
- holds child at least 50lbs
- drives smoothly
- opens and closes smoothly (doesn't necessarily have to be one hand)
-reclines at least mostly down
Don't have specific price range yet ; just want to know what the good options are.
Thanks!
ETA: material MUST BE WASHABLE!

First ones that come to mind are the Silver Cross Jet and Zoe Tour +. Looks like silver cross hits all of your categories, except I didn’t think the fold was super smooth. Not a nightmare, but not as easy as some like the minu.
Zoe tour + it looks like only reclines to 165deg and is only tested up to 45lbs.
The cybex eezy S, beezy, inglesina quid, and the Valco snap 4 might be good options as well.

I didn't get the butterfly because there was no bassinet option. I got the joolz aer instead because I saw reviews that it was as good as butterfly and you can buy a bassinet.

Some vocal baby just goes one above a few things on my criteria.
It's 19 lb, not 18.
it only holds 48.5 lb
But I love the hood!! And basket...
Regarding the classic City mini, I'm not sure if I want a sporty look

Did you feel that it was a junky feel?
How about handling city bumps?
ETa: did you buy the bar by the kids separately?

Do you know anything about the inglesina quid? I was actually looking into that but don't know anyone who got it...
I read mixed reviews on Amazon about the cybex more recent models so it makes me hesitant...
Regarding the silver cross, I love the look and read good reviews. The only gripe is that the basket seems small- is that true?

Can the butterfly hold a chunky kid or will they feel claustrophobic in it? It seems narrow...

I had the first model of the Cybex Eezy S Twist and wouldn’t recommend it. The way it folded down eventually tore through the back fabric. I don’t know whether that was fixed.

I would look into the Butterfly and the Minu. Don’t have either but from my own research they seem like solid options.

I have the butterfly. My kid is a tall 2.4 year old and fits comfortably. It’s advertised to hold bigger kids. Very smooth ride. I love everything about it. I’m not sure what you mean by bar. They recently came out with a board to attach for a standing child.

You can buy a bar separately. A bar for the seat. I bought the butterfly and the bar.

Sorry if I wasn't clear
This is an example of the bar
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y.....ss_tl
Not all strollers come with it and I believe it is better to have...
Also for those that have strollers without footrest like (Joolz Aer), did you find your kids to sleep well in the stroller without it?
I am not using this stroller to put my kids to sleep, but if they do happen to do so, I want to make sure they're comfortable...

If anyone can list the pros and cons of their stroller, that would be great!
