I am in the research phase of our "gear buying" process - I currently have a stroller, that I used when I fostered, but it doesn't meet my needs.
What I'm looking for is a stroller for tall folks...everyone over six feet tall knows what I'm talking about...
Sure, as a tall person, you can reach the handle, but it's just not comfortable.
When Jerrett was an infant/toddler, I had a Peg Perego stroller and it was great but I haven֒t had much luck finding something this time around.
So, for all you parents over six feet tall what kind of stroller are you using and is it comfortable? I֒m not opposed to having a Travel SystemӔ so feel free to comment on those as well!

We had the same problem and bought a Maclaren stroller. Though they are now pretty pricey over the $250 range, they are well worth it and had held up for us really really well.
The Aprica also have a lil bit of longer handles..
The other thing you can always buy the handle extensions for the umbrella strollers at the right start catalog. They work well too.

Macleron all the way. When stroller hunting I would go into a store ask for the tallest stroller they had and each time the macleron techno xt was brought out. It still looks great two years later and we are a one stroller household (we don't own a jogger or travel system). A jogger would have been tall enough, but I hate how large they are and I won't change cars just so I can have one.
Not every macleron is as tall as the next, though as a brand they are taller on average. For instance, their Volo umbrella stroller is tall for light umbrella strollers, but not as tall as my techno xt. The one thing folks don't consider is length of stride when buying a stroller, everyone thinks of handles when thinking of tall people. I ended up kicking the backs of most strollers. I encourage you to bring a heavy bag (or stiffed pillow case) shopping with you that you can sit in the stroller and push around. It's amazing how different strollers move when loaded down. The baby store where we got our macleron had a weighted baby doll just for this purpose.
