Best whup it, whup it down stroller for very tall people

[dingdongMegaLegsonhigh]

Need a new umbrella folding style stroller for school run, am sick of lugging my e3 in and out of the boot plus it fills whole boot.

DH 6ft and I'm 6'2 so would love to hear if anyone has recommendations for long handeled strollers.

Also needs to be robust enough for DS4 who is 2 1/2 has SN and not really walking much yet.

Oh arse - mucked up me title, whup it UP as in I can put it up fast.

Maclaren Techno. We have one for our boot after using an E3 and it is really quick and simple. Handle height goes quite high too.

I'm 6ft and find my Maclaren Quest fine.

The highest handle height I can find is 107cm, it's ok but to be perfect it needs to be about 115 - 120cm!!

Maybe we can make some extensions

Hi Mega,I posted a similar thing in SN recently (I am not tall,but dd is outgrowing her current buggy,and she doesn't walk).They reccomended the Mclaren Major which is fold up/fold down and has a lightweight frame made of aluminium.I do not know the extent of your dcs needs but this buggy is suitable for children up to 50kg IIRC,so should last a while.It also looked quite tall in the photos(sorry haven't got dimensions to hand.)Costs about £249 with the accessories HTH.

Helloooo wrinkley - yes I was thinking about the major too but he is stiil quite small so I reckon I can get away with a stroller for ab it longer.

Looked on mothercare site but it doesn't seem to have dimensions (it does for all other buggies) might google a bit.

It's also handy for bookbags and stuff!

Hi mega,I don't think they have the major on mothercare site.I think I rang Mclaren to get the spec and now I cant find the paperwork.Will go and look xx

maclaren t4echno XLR

Hmm just googled.Doesn't give height but does say it has adjustable handles.

Same here wt - I love it though Misdee! Says depth is 114cm but not sure what depth is

OOH found it, extends to 115 cm BINGO!! Right time to hit ebay methinks or rob a bank. Will have to wait until after Christmas.

are you getting the XLR?

dd2 could fit in one. she was 4 and v v v tall.

i couldnt push as am a short arse.

dazedandconfusedmum was selling one on here in blue yesterday btw

DS4 is still quite small and light so it sounds like it might last awhile. Will hunt down dazedandconfused. Thanks misdee

I'm 6' and the Maclaren tourer (?) I had for DS2 had the tallest handles by far for me out of all the variety of pushchairs I had for the other 3. (The worst was a Mothercare one I had for DD2 - the handle only came up to my crotch )

misdee is dazedandconfused aka lumpybumpymummy as she is only one I can find selling an XLR?

no, dazed is dazed. have emailed her for you will try and find the thread as well.
