Lightweight stroller for urban 6 mo old

I've been looking online at the UppaBaby GLite and the MacLaren Volo and Triumph, but thought I would get recs.  Things I care about, in order of importance:

- large sun canopy

- good wheels for bad city streets

- lightweight

I don't think reclining is necessary -- we have a Bugaboo for longer walks -- this would mostly be for taking on the subway and when taking trips, but maybe you guys have other thoughts on that.  Thanks!
