Can anyone recommend an umbrella stroller for tall people? My husband and I are constantly kicking our G-luxe. Or maybe there are handlebar extenders (although I couldn't find any on Amazon)?
-
I have a Maclaren Quest and we've never had issues.
-
I have the Mountain Buggy Nano and my only complaint is that it's a little short-- and I'm only 5'7". I feel like I need to hunch a little bit. So, that's probably not for you.
-
I feel your pain! I have never had a stroller I didn't have to hunch over to push, until I got my Mountain Buggy Duet that has an adjustable handle. Even with that, I need the tallest setting snd it's barely tall enough--but you're not looking for a double. I'm totally following this for reference though, in case someone knows of one!

I am 6' and we have the first years ignite. No complaints!
-
Mcclaren have extended handlebars!!!
-
We have an Uppababy G-Lite and my husband is 6'2" and didn't have any issues with it. However, it is almost 5 years old so I don't know how the new ones are.
-
Maclaren! Excellent for tall folks
-
We have a Maclaren Techno XT and my tall husband uses the extended handles when he pushes it.
-
We have the Peg Perego Pliko P3 and it has height adjustable handles. Their Pliko Mini also has it and probably not as expensive as the P3 version.
-
@MamaCate: Ditto. I am also 6' and have The First Years Ignite and I love it. DH and my Dad who are both 6'2" have also used it without any issue.
-
@raintreebee: I would look for one that doesn't have a support bar at the back of the stroller. We tried a lot of strollers and my husband and I both have long legs. We found Maclaren umbrella strollers worked well for us.
-
I used the Chicco Liteway Plus and had no problem with it in terms of height. My husband and I are both very tall.
-
Thank you everyone! I think I am going to go check out some of your recs this week. Good to hear there are some umbrella strollers with extendable handles.
-
@Foodnerd81: Too bad about the nano. It seems like such a cool stroller!
-
@raintreebee: it is really cool other than that one thing. Like I said since I'm not that tall, it's not a big deal to me, but if I was taller it would be. Good luck!
-
We also have the first years and it works great for us. We aren't super tall (5'7"), though.
-
I'm 6' and was really worried about this. I did a lot of research and "test driving". I ended up going with the City Mini GT. The regular City Mini was a little too short for me and I kicked it a lot. The GT has an adjustable handlebar and I don't kick the bottom.
