aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
i have look at so many buggies over the last few weeks that are "lightweight" and fold very small.
Quinny zapp, Petite star zia, petite star whirl, micralite fastfold, mosaic one, nipi buggy, bebecomfort vit,brio lightweight the list goes on.
i currently have a maclaren techno xt which has a handle height of 110cm, great for my 5 foot 9 frame. i am looking for a small folding buggy though as we travel in the car alot to visit family and for our holiday, i have 3 children a dd who is almost 4, a ds who is 2.5 and a ds who is almost 1.
I am a self-confessed buggyholic having had the icoo duo 4, icandy pear, and marco sky to name a few.
If anyone has any ideas am looking for the following.

Buggy with decent handle height, I am 5 foot 9.
Folds small in te car.
Not stupidly expensive £150 max. Ideally comes with a raincover.
Reclines if possible.
Shopping basket.
Takes a buggy board if poss??? Currently have a buggy board maxi wud be great if it took that!

Thanks in advance

what about the mutsy spider? only thing is it doesn't have a huge recline, it just goes back a little way. it's good height-wise though.

not sure if it takes a buggy board.

sorry, not much help.
I am also tall and after much searching for the perfect small buggy I did just end up with the nipi stroller!

thanks,

i think i will have to resign myself to the fact that despite the fact its not as compact as the quinny zapp etc my maclaren techno xt does everything i need for me, if i was 5 foot 4 or 5 the petite start would have been my choice. hey ho.

think the maclaren xt is it tbh.

the silvercross pop and dazzle have been recommended to me too but I'm much taller than you and think the handle heights aren't high enough, but they might work for you.

babies r us do a umbrella fold but can't remember its name that is high enough but that was normal handles not adjustable so no good if a smaller person needs to push.

if you head for the pushchair chat thread in products there'a few people that might help.

Have you looked at the Obaby Vintage? They are only £60 in Mothercare and just as good as a more expensive XLR or XT.

Have you looked at the Obaby? They are just as good quality as a Maclaren but only cost about £60!!

I'm 5.10 and found the Quinny Zapp absolutely fine height wise although it doesn't recline.
