Silver Cross Pop / Pop Sport - same handle height?
Grumpla · 09/10/2011 21:39
My friend came round the other day with a Silver Cross Pop Sport which I really liked the look of mainly due to the high handles - a good 10cm higher than my Maclaren Quest which is slightly too low for me to push comfortably & so only gets used on holidays etc.
In a fit of enthusiasm I've just bought a Silver Cross Pop (but not Sport!) on ebay and now panicking that the handle height might be different!!!
Does anyone know what the difference is between the two models? I assumed that it was just the fabric style etc but now a bit worried...

Pretty sure it's the same frame, just different fabrics...I had a regular Pop and the handle was difinetely higher than my Quest, as it was way too high for me whereas the Quest's is just bareable.

PHEW!!!! Thanks :)
Sounds like we have the opposite problem really, I love my Quest for travelling etc but as am nearly 6' tall and have a dodgy back I just can't cope with the slightly stoop for more than an hour or so! I think all buggies should have adjustable handles!

I'm only 5'2" plus love my handles very low so more suited for someone under 5'

Yep my MiL definitely prefers it and she is teeny!
I might give it to her to have at her house in fact - she has a Quinny Zapp at the moment but has never really worked out how to fold & unfold it!

Don't think she's the only one...I had a play with one at a nearly new sale and couldn't figure the last part of the fold out.
