We have a Mutsy 4Rider Light and really like it. It has a roomy seat (so no problem for a 3yr old), which is fully adjustable (and I mean fully - even seat depth is adjustable, so you can make sure DC is comfortable). The handle is telescopic and at the shortest setting I'd say it'd comfortable even for a very short person.

bebe confort streety is low

Glad I am not the only one who finds the handles too high on the xt. I am looking at getting a quest instead which I think is lower. But am interested in what others suggest.

not keen on the look of the streety Like the more "traditional" looking iykwim...

The mutsy is nice but to much ££...

anyone else..?

fluffydog, drives me mad. Been to look at the m&p tonight and it seems okish height wise..may just get one of those..£85 atm at boots.

Try eBay for a used Mutsy, as they tend to be at least half the price of a new one. It really is a great pushchair, very robust.

quest deffo.

also low handled are older style zapps and zias. but i'd go for quest personally.

Need exactly the same for my dd (2.8) - and am also a short Mum. I have a very old Techno Classic and the handles are a pain but I looked at the quest and dd was way too heavy for it - pushing her was not easy.

I'm at a loss to know what to get for dd so will check out these other suggestions!

thanks elk and nicola...
not wanting 2nd hand (mainly for warrenty and fact that I prefer to buy from a shop iykwim) but will look at quest.

Any view on the Jane energy..?
