Tall mamas jogging stroller

Any ladies out there 5'9" or taller?  My sister is tall and is looking for a good jogging stroller.  Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks

    I am not exactly tall(5'2") but my DH is a foot taller than I am.  The only option that had an adjustable handle at that time was the mountain buggy and I LOVE it. It was far better than the BOB and I tried both before buying.  The adjustable handle is my main reason for saying that.  Unfortunately I was unable to find a MB double so our double is a BOB.  

    Good luck!

    I bought the new Graco Fast Action Fold Jogger a few weeks ago and I love it.  I'm generally not a fan of Graco strollers but I love this stroller.  I liked it so much better than all of the other (much more expensive) joggers I tried including BOB.

    It has a pretty tall handlebar.  I'm 5'7" and although it doesn't bother me, I wouldn't mind if the handlebar was just a little lower so it would probably be just right for your sister.

    Here's the amazon link but BRU has it in store if she wants to test it.

    I'm 5'11 and the BOB has been awesome.

    If it was a jogging only stroller, the Bob. I have a Chariot Carrier, it works well for my long stride. I can see not being able to run like that with the Baby Trend Expedition or the Graco the pp mentioned, I tried one like that and the rear axle wasn't far enough forward. I'm 5'9".

    Ditto. I'm 5'11 and I love my Chariot. I've used it as a jogging stroller and I never hit the back but I'm most looking forward to using it with a bike this summer.

    I'm exactly 6ft tall and have friends that are my height and a little shorter than me that absoutley love the Baby Trend jogging stroller. At first I wasn't too sure about it and when my friend let me push is around I loved the grip handle and how high it was compared to other strollers out there. The Bob is def nice but it's huge and bulky and the Baby Trend is similar but def lighter and worked for me.
