Buggy with high handles

4 replies

I'm looking for a lightweight buggy suitable for a 1 year old which I can push with a straight back! I'm a mum of 3 whose spent most of the last 7 years stooped over a puchchair or pram! My partner is 6ft 2. I've looked at a Maclaren Techno XT but it seems a bit on the heavy side (I had a Maclaren Volo for my oldest 2). Any suggestions gratefully received!

With the Phil and Teds, you can adjust the handle to make it higher, if that helps.

See if you can find a Silver Cross pop to try out. I find the handle is quite high, so would be unsuitable for anyone smaller than me(5ft 5) but husband (6ft) thinks its fine.

My bub is nearly a year and suits us as its adjustable recline, folds up quickly and is relatively light (well not compared to my Micralite but definately compared to my Hauck infinity) Costs around £80 depending where you buy (and a tip - if you want a matching footmuff for the pistachio, buy it with the pram - there arent any solo in stock in the UK at the moment as I've discovered!) I find the hoods quite nice and big too, although you can't access the shopping basket when its reclined. I don't really care about that because its strong enough not to tip when you hang your stuff on the handles.

We have a Hauck Sport which had the highest handle height (110cm) of the lightweight buggies, and DH who is 6'3" can push it with a straight back.

I have a Jane Energy,it's very light weight and my 6ft4 dp doesn't have to stoop to push it.
