Stroller for tall parents - Car Seat.Org - Carseat, Vehicle & Child Passenger Safety Forums

I saw this advertised in one of my sister's parenting magazines, so I looked it up online.

These are strollers for tall parents!

Apparently the model pictured is not the only model they have. Apparently, there are some fancy versions of this stroller as well.

we just got an all terain stroller...and it has an adjustable handle. it is the Tike Tech...ooh i forget the rest. but it's GREAT! i think it would be good for tall parents too.

I think there are some "better" strollers than the ones on that site. I just thought it was interesting that there is a company who does this.

Perhaps the company would be better off selling other strollers for tall parents since there are lots of other strollers with height-adjustable handles that are probably "better" strollers. I like the Maclaren Techno XLR.

The Tike Tech is really nice! Is this the one you have?

These are some of the strollers I have found with height adjustable handles. Of course some of these would work better than others. While some have adjustable handles, they still don't adjust high enough to be 100% comfortable for tall parents.

Of course this is not an exhaustive list. This is just a start. Please feel free to add to it!

oops..i'm just now reading this. no, that's not the one...hm.... i think it is called the ATX line of the Tike Tech. i know...i think it's neat that it exists for tall parents too!

(even though I am really short myself!). again, i recommend to anyone the stroller we got for true off roading. (no matter your height)

My husband is 5'11" and likes our P3. I'm not sure why I let him pick it out, except that he looked so excited test driving strollers at the baby store. I'm 5'1" but I use it most. It works fairly well for me too though.

the stokke xplory is the best for tall parents, dont forget to think about how much you will have to bend over to reach your child, it maybe pricy but it will save your back.
