Hey,
I’m supporting a Dad at the moment who needs a stroller for his youngest. Been a long time since buggy days for me. So I’m left scratching my head on what’s a good type of umbrella stroller for him and son.
One thing I do remember, was the horrendous back ache from low handles and he’s 6ft 4. So I thought I’d ask if any tall parents had any recommendations for a good one? thanks!
Edit: (useful comments thanks I’m an idiot!)
Youngest lad is 3.
So looking for more a when he gets tired easy to fold and throw about buggy.
Dad is now in a tiny studio with 3 boys from 3 to 10 so it can’t be to big to store or live in the boot of the car.
I’ll be trying to source things second hand off the marketplace or buzzing round charity shops today as there’s other bits, clothes, toys, sleeping stuff I need to try and source and I don’t have a great budget and on a time limit for the weekend so they’ve got some set up at least.

For recommendations, I'd pop into a store and try a few out. When we were looking at car seats the salespeople at John Lewis and Mamas and Papas were great. Knowledgeable and not pushy in the slightest.

We used travel systems at first, all cosatto wow (cosatto.com/pag…w-2) or giggle (cosatto.com/col…nds) as the only real difference is the frame, we had our son just after covid restrictions so a lot of hardly used gear around for sale! Picked up 3 full travel systems for about £120 in total, so one frame stayed in the car, one in the living room and one in my office. We just moved whatever he was in between frames as needed, the pushchair is still in my office as he sometimes sits with me and watches cartoons on the other computer while I work.
Now he's bigger though he's mainly wandering about, we've switched to a bigger offroad pushchair for outside (Hauck Runner - argos.co.uk/pro…768).
No idea yet if we're having more so my attic is filled with gear he no longer fits in!
We then picked up a Joolz Aer which is similar to the babyzen Yoyo - these would be our recommendation especially useful for travelling! (edited)
