Stroller for tall person/long stride
I have been taking ds out for walks but I keep kicking the brake as I walk. Any suggestions for a better stroller. I use a graco that came with the travel system. Thinking about investing in the city mini.
ETS: ds is a newborn

Re: Stroller for tall person/long stride
For a newborn, I'd use the snap n go. I had 2 (one for graco & one for the chicco car seats). I liked the chicco one better.
I used the citimini without issue. I'm 5'8"... with all the height in my legs. The stroller has it's positives, but my newborns were not comfortable in it until 3 months (even though you can use it earlier).
With my Joovy double, I had that issue (of stepping on the brake), but the stroller was so cheap that I got used to it & found that I'd walk slightly differently (another option for you).

I am 6'. I have a britax b agile and a Peg Perego Pliko Switch 4. I have no problems with either. I liked the Peg for when he was younger because the handle reversed. The handles also adjust on the Peg. I never cared for the snap n go, it was too low for me.

Thanks...
I use the snap and go for the car and it was ok...The city mini I would get with the car seat adapter thing.

City Select. The handlebar is adjustable, and my hubby is 6'7" and it's perfect for both of us.

I think the citi mini has a bar you might kick, but the Britax BAgile doesn't. Very similar strollers.

Re: Stroller for tall person/long stride
The Citi Mini didn't work for my husband who's 6'1" and has long strides. While it's a great stroller with a really easy one hand fold he didn't care for it and prefer our primary stroller, the Bugaboo Bee, alot more because of the adjustable handles.
Definitely test drive at the store first.

Try Uppa Baby. My Cruz (and I know the Vista) have an extendable handle that works for those that are tall.

Re: Stroller for tall person/long stride
Thanks all! The other thing I forgot to mention is that I am cheap, so spending more than 400 on a stroller, just isn't going to happen! I would just deal with the strollers I have!
