Another pram shopping question - High Trek pic added pg 4

As you may remember I spent an inordinate amount of time when pregnant searching for the perfect system for our needs - ie travelling overseas with little space with a newborn and wanting a system that took a bassinet and a car seat and was parent facing!. The one that meet our needs was the Phil and Teds Smart and it has been fantastic, he slept in it until we moved in here when he was 6 months old, takes up hardly any space and has been great! My biggest concern about it was the actual seat bit - it doesn't go flat and knowing my use of prams I figured I'd get to the point where this was an issue and we are now there!
With the other boys I had a Mother care (can't remember what!) and then a Jané Rocket - both umbrella fold with decent quality shopping baskets and for me the big thing of reclining totally so that they can sleep. It is extra important here in France where you so often go out to evening things and babies come too so need to be able to tuck him up to sleep comfortably. I don’t' want something with small wheels as they are a nightmare on the rough country lanes around here and our garden is quite hilly and bumpy too. I'm not massively bothered about folded size but would rather unbrella fold rather than flat fold, dont' want to end up with something bigger than I have now!
So shopping list:
So tell me what I should look at lovelies!??

So shopping list:
- Multiple recline positions, including flat
- Sturdy
- Decent sized wheels
- umbrella fold
