Taller ladies/your stroller

KKM

Not sure why it never bothered me before (maybe it is because ds weighs more now), but I get a really bad backache from pushing the stroller more than a few minutes now.  I think I could work on my posture a bit, but I think it would still hurt.  What stroller do you have, and does anyone else have this problem?

When I was shopping around for strollers, I noticed the Maclaren handles were higher than the other umbrella strollers. This was probably my favorite feature because I'm 5'9. With DD and DS#1's stroller, I was always stooping over to push it. Not anymore!

I have a McLaren as well and I'm also 5'9". No issues with it being too short.

I'm 5'9 but for some reason the MacLaren still seemed short to me. Go figure. We got the Wendy Belissimo umbrella stroller at BRU and both DH (6'5") and I love it.

We have a Graco and another cheaper brand (I can't remember right now). The Graco is not too too bad for me, I'm 5'9" but it's still lower than I'd like. DH is 6'7" and won't take stroller duty. I've often thought why don't they have adjustable heights on the handles?

We have the Maclaren and it works very well for our height.  I'm 5'8 and DH is 6'4.

DH is 6'3" and has no problem pushing our Quinny Zapp. It's the only stroller we've found where he doesn't kick the wheels. I'm 5'6" and have no problems either, but that's not really tall.

DH and I are both 5'11", and have no problems with our Maclaren or our BOB.

Alright, thanks!  I have a Zooper and really love it and havnet had any problems until now.  I will have to look into a BOB (I was looking for a good excuse to!) for a double stroller when we have #2

We have a single BOB and it's great for me but DH needed a handle extension for when he runs or else he kicks the tires. We ordered the handle extension from Living XL (and now receive their catalogs weekly lol) and it's great - velcros on.
