Anyone know where I can buy a light weight buggy with long handles(108cm+)?
5 years of pushing my old one has done my back no favours.
Do any other tall people have the same problem?

sJ, I am long past the buggy stage (well the kids are) but I used to have a terrible time. Mothercare were the worst in the bad old days.

My last buggy was a Maclaren, I think its handles were about 104cm, still not quite high enough for me (I'm 6' but a lot better than the c 90cm of some!

I will go and have a google...

The top one on this page says handle height 95-108 but it doesn't look lightweight.

There's also a Britax one down the page which claims to go up to 111.

You'd probably be best trying them all out at Toys R Us or somewhere!

the maclaren techno handel height is 44inchs (112cms)
kiddicare are cheaper than most places and deliver really quick

Hi, thought I'd hijack this thread to ask if anyone has tried \link{http://www.onestepahead.com/jump.jsp?lGen=detail&itemID=176&itemType=PRODUCT&iProductID=176&change=117\this extension handle. If no one has, I'm going to order it and probably use it with the Maclaren Volo so will update on what it's like. Cheers if you have any info?
