Which strollers can actually handles rough sidewalks?

Question for Dads

One thing I didn’t anticipate after becoming a dad is how many miles I’d walk with a stroller. It’ basically my default way to calm the baby down when all else fails. The problem however is that the sidewalks in our neighborhood are terrible. I'm not even exxagerating. There are cracks and bumps everywhere and the pavement is dangerously uneven. My current stroller (a cheap Garco ) really struggles on it so Ive been hoping to upgrade to something better that can handle long walks on bad sidewalks.
I’m looking at a few different options with bigger wheels and suspension. Currently on my list are Uppababy vista, Mockinbird, and Momcozy changego. Curious to know everyones experience has been with these three options. More importantly, did getting a big wheel stroller with better suspension make a difference when you used it on uneven surfaces? I would appreciate honest thoughts and experiences.
