    Strollers for us shorties...??

    Hi,

    I am looking for a stroller for DS, but most of the ones I have had a look at are all to high for me! ( I am 5ft, and finding the handles dont adjust)

    Does anyone have any recommendations??? I am really just after a stroller that I can pop in the car instead of taking the pram.

    I've found that the cheaper ($30ish) strollers are very low. It bugs me, coz I'm tall
    I'm looking into buying a more expensive one, just to have a taller one!

    You can get ones with adjustable handles too... I just can't think of any at the moment!

    The only thing with the cheaper ones, is they dont feel very sturdy!! Am happy to pay for a good stroller, if I can find one!!

    I am 5 foot 2inches and love my bugaboo bee......the handle is adjustable so hubby loves it too (he is 6 foot 2 inches) It is such a versatile stroller/pram...not quite as compact as an umbrella stroller but fits easily in my astra boot with a full food shop in there and various other bits and pieces...I also love that you can turn the seat around so if my boy is in a grumpy mood I have him facing me so he doesnt get over stimulated and can go to sleep easier...oh it has a good sized basket too for a stroller...and they have just announced a price drop on them cos of the strong dollar so they are about $120 cheaper than they were when I bought mine before christmas...

    The quicksmart ones are good for shorties and fold up very small (I'm 5ft3)
