buggy advice - one that will fit in a mini and not hurt my back

I know buggies have been talked about endlessly but:

I need a buggy that will fit in a mini and not hurt my back.

I currently have a stroller like a maclaren but with higher handles but find that I still stoop slightly when I push it - no matter how hard I try not to.

I think i need one with the back wheels further forward from the handles that will let me take a full stride and I have been thinking about a micralite. Does anyone have any experience of these?

This reviewer says the the Bebe Confort Loola will fit in the back of a mini. It doesn't look as though the handles are particularly high though.

I have just bought one of these , the handle is fully adjustable so it would suit someone very tall, and you can get a full stride as it tilts backwards. I'm pretty sure it would fit in a mini as it folds small and square (rather than long and thin). However, it takes some getting used to as it has 2 wheels, it's rubbish over rough pavements and there's very little storage in the shopping basket. I'm not sure I would recommend it as your only pushchair. Also it's not very wide so a chunky child might feel a bit cramped in it.

I have back problems and I have the Mothercare Citi-lite lightweight pushchair, very easy to fold and use and does not cause me any pain when walking with it, the handle folds down too so it would fit easily into your car.
