Best Umbrella Strollers for Tall Parents?

So I posted about the be ready and that would be our "main" stroller but love the idea of a nice umbrella stroller to have in DHs car or for quick trips...
I am 5'10 and DH is 6'2 with DD I bought a cheapy one from target that I hardly used bc I was so hunched over when using it

From Google I found the Maclaren and Uppababy g-lite/g-luxe we good, just looking for other (maybe cheaper?) options or experiences with those brands listed.

Thanks! :)

    We have a chicco liteway and have loved it. I am 5'9" and hubby is 6'. I find the height to be good especially compared to the cheap ones. We have had it for over 3 years and use it as our main stroller.

    My SIL is 5'11 and loved my G-luxe when we were in Florida. She had a Chicco Cortina and hated it.

    In my moms group one of the other mom's has the Joovy Ultralight Groove & loves it. The Valco Snap is another option at 12 lbs (same as G-luxe).....it's not an umbrella but has some cool options that could make it your only stroller.

    Maclaren techno has an extendable handle which is great for tall parents.

    DH is 6'2 and has no problem with our G-Lite. Uppababy makes great strollers. You can't go wrong with the G-Lite or G-Luxe.
    This! Great for tall parents.

    I really like the UB GLuxe- I am 5'10" and DH is 6'2". It is tall enough for us!
