Best Travel System for tall parents - recommendations please!

I'm currently in my first pregnancy and feeling overwhelmed at the choice of travel systems out there. I really don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for other than whether I like the colour haha!

I would ideally like a lightweight (as much as possible) travel system but that is fairly high up as I am tall and suffer with lower back problems.

I would really appreciate any advice that you can give me please! :)

I had a bugaboo chameleon which I loved. The handle extends really easily.

DH is 6'2" and we have the uppababy vista which he loves (as do I). It's not light at all - but I'm 5'2" and a complete wimp and have no bother lifting it up and down kerbs or into the boot etc. The frame folds to a standing position so you can pick it up to the side of your body rather than having to bend to the ground to pick it up. If that makes any sense.

I felt the bugaboo prams felt like pushing a wheelbarrow at knees hight! I didn't like it at all.

We went for a Dutch brand- the adults are generally taller than in your UK, so pram handles accomodate taller people.

Howzaboutye what was the dutch brand? Im 6ft so interested in travel systems for us taller parents"!

I'm tall and have ordered a Bugaboo Fox, the bassinet seemed much higher than a lot of them - higher than the Bugaboo Camelon which from my online research was the one I thought I wanted.

The bassinet is also quite big, we are reckoning on a big/long baby as we're both tall so figure we need a bigger one.

It's not arrived yet though - nor has baby so not actually used it!

Bugaboo is Dutch
