Tall doll stroller for 5-year-old?

DD is getting a Bitty Baby for Christmas from her aunt... but the doll stroller we currently have (that is cheap--probably like $10) is so short DD hunches over when pushing it. Anyone know what brands are taller? I'm not sure we can afford a whole lot, though... I'm actually wondering if I should just get a cheap regular-sized umbrella stroller.

I bought my 3 year old niece a McLaren Doll Jogging stroller at BRU for my niece that had an adjustable handle that went high enough for her tall 7 year old to push it comfortably. I think it was around $30. Not too bad and the quality was really good. I can't find it on the website but it was in store. HTH

A chea regular umbrella is going to be the cheapest choice.
It's sad, isn't it? We just gave away our kids stroller because dd is also too tall. she LOVES pushing around my regular umbrella though. We DO have a "play" stroller that is bigger, but to be honest, I'm sure it was more than a regular umbrella.

I was going to suggest a reg cheap umbrella stroller as well. DD has always liked to play with that over a doll stroller!

she pushes her bears around at nanas house in it

you know what I'd do... get her one of those cheap umbrella strollers they make for real babies... they are so short it would be nice and tall for your daughter and give her grow room... probably last till she's 10.

ETA - okay... I got beat to the punch on suggesting it... but adding another reason for it... swivel wheels... a lot of doll strollers don't have them... which stinks.

Yup, a cheap umbrella stroller would be the best deal. We have a Graco doll stroller (looks like a miniature quattro tour) with basket underneath and reclining seat and swivel wheels that is quite tall.

I found this one but am not sure I want to spend that $$ for it. DD isn't really into dolls much... I'm waiting to see if the Bitty Baby she gets changes that or not. Maybe THEN I might splurge for it.

That one is really cute, but it still looks pretty short. You should just get a regular umbrella stroller for $15.

I got the double stroller at buybuybaby for $40 with the coupon for DD's Bitty twins. The height is great.

We have that one and we LOVE it!! It is a nice height. My 5.5 year old and 2 year old use it. some 2 year olds are too short for it. The wheels swivel, the seat reclines, the stroller folds for travel. The basket underneath is used too.

We also plan to get the double stroller from Buy Buy Baby for $40. I think the height of the chico is similar to the height of the Graco ones at Buy Buy Baby.

DS has this stroller but it is blue and he can still push it comfortably at 5.5. DD has a hard time pushing it because it is so tall and she is 19 months.

We have that Chicco stroller and it is pretty tall. It's nice, and my dd loves it.

We have the joovy doll stroller, it's actually a bit too tall for my 4.5 year old.

$40 is a great price! We have that one, and it's uber tall, like too tall. My 5 year old is just now able to push it easily.

So that's my vote OP
