Best umbrella pushchair for tall parents...

[MrsMooo]

I'm 5"10, DH is 6"3 and we need an umbrella to replace the 4th hand bugaboo we were given as it's a)a bit knackered and b)a pain to fold up if you need to get on the bus with a toddler

We've got a cheapo umbrella from ebay, but it's handles are so low it's unusable as it gives us both horrendus back aches...

So any recommendations for something small, colapsable and lightwieght for the lanky

Maclaren Techno's.

All I think are the highest handles for umbrella strollers at around 109cm.

Have you considered a single bar stroller with adjustable handle? These tend to be a bit higher IIRC. :)

The bugaboo has an adjustable handle, and it's a godsend - but I need something that takes up less space and is quicker/easier to fold - so I've assumed that means an unbrella

Am off to google the suggestions so far

Its an XT

Toysrus/babiesrus always used to do tall handles as that's where I got mine from. It was 5 yrs ago I last bought a pushchair though so it might have changed.

Silver Cross Pop is very tall. I'm 5'10 and found the handles were higher than I liked (hip height).

Fugaboos are a bugger to fold and TBH most one handled ones are far easier!

I had a Baby Jogger City Mini which I loved for public transport, walking and everything else basically :o

My DP is 6ft and even he said it was great to push! And I can guarantee you will not find an easier fold!

It fold in half flat though (quite small) so is wider than an umbrella fold but a lot shorter.

I want mine back :(... if only DS was'nt almost 5 :o

maclaren, xt..job done!
