I need a pushchair which will do a large 3 year old

The wheel fell off my Nomad .
Trying to get it repaired at the moment but it's not looking good.
I still need a pushchair for him although he is 3 and walks a lot, we walk everywhere including 3 school runs a day, and he gets very tired.
He is a big boy, bewteen the 75th/91st centile for weight and height, so do need a larger seat unit.
It will need to do probably till next winter/spring as well.
I am only 5ft2 and have tried the XLR and found the handles too high.
Any ideas other than another Nomad or Slalom or Powertrack? It will be secondhand, as I am broke!

My MacLaren Ryder is fab, ds1 still hopped in it occasionally if he wasn't well until recently (he's very tall and was 4 at xmas) and we use it to get ds2 (even taller-for-his-age 2.9yo) to nursery if he's having a grumpy morning.

The handles are quite high though but then dp is over 6 foot so he can push it comfortably while I (5'2") stroll along at the side

Maclarens are all pretty suited to taller children and as they are more or less indestructible if you get one 2nd hand you should be able to sell it on later too and get some of your money back.

the xts twister is fantastic either the current cgi.ebay.co.uk/Three-Wheel-Pushchair_W0QQitemZ110340051437QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Baby_BabyTravel_Push chairsGL?hash=item110340051437&trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1 %7C240%3A1318

or older model, they have loads of height room and are easy to push and tend to go quite cheap on ebay.

easylife pushchair.
Will go up to aged 6 as my nearly 6 year old will vouch for if she is given half a chance
