The Zooper Twist has a 42 inch height to the top of the handles. See: http://www.zooper.com/Twist%20Specs%20Zooper%202009.htmlThese handles are not adjustable; you are correct. :)

I can't say a specific max height but my guy is in the 50th percentile at 2.5 and he is still a bit too short for this. I will say that he struggles to steer it a bit. It's hard to turn. This maybe part of the training features?? We aren't too bothered by it but we also have a high quality balance bike that his older brother just gave up (cause he's riding a pedal bike like a pro!)

I'm not sure. My height is 5'6 ". Handle is comfortable for me. My son is 4'11", he did not run with a stroller, just walked. He said that handle is comfortable for him too.

I'm 6'2 and have had issues with all strollers being a decent height except for this one. It has worked out great. It is taller than any other umbrella stroller we have tried.

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He is only 5'4". I saw him ride it yesterday and I would "guess" that your to tall! However, he told me it rides real smooth and it is easy to handle!!

I am 5 3 and the handle is a tiny bit short for me. Never measured the hight of the handle. If you are a tall person get Dogger stroller from dog quality. It is $250 but every penny is worthed.

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

They are not adjustable but I am 5'2 and they are just right for me. Doubt you will have a problem but its up to you. Most of the dog strollers are too low, so I have been told but the handles are very good on this one.

My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'5" so we have a pretty good separation as well. My husband says that this stroller is the most comfortable we had tried and I haven't had any trouble with it being too high or uncomfortable for my hands either. I do not think you can adjust the handle height (or if you can, it's not obvious and we haven't tried) but neither myself, my husband, or any of our family members have been uncomfortable with it.

I m 5'2", however the stroller handle part is high. I think it would work fine. My husband is 5'11" and he didnt feel awkward pushing it. This is an awesome stroller!!!!

I am 5'8" and have no problem bending over into the handle--and the stroller is really easy to handle. I have had no trouble kicking the stroller but I think that is controlled by how far you push the stroller in front of you--controlled by your arms. I don't think you would have to adjust your stride. Also my dog is an 80 lb tripod so the stroller I have is the large one.I don't know if that makes a difference or not--but the stroller is great

My husband's height is 5'11'' and the handle is perfect for him. He always takes the handle from me and he likes to manage the stroller.

Please? Anybody? If anyone is 5 feet tall or around there and has used this machine or others (418, 431, 438) in this line, please drop a line here and tell me what you think of it? I am particularly interested in what kind of reach it takes to grip the handlebars while striding. Does it bend you forward to reach them or can you do so in relative comfort without straining your back? ANY input is greatly appreciated!!

No it cant, however I am 5'8" and my husband is 6'2" I have to say these handle bars are perfect for us. I have the Vista also and I always use the handle bars at the highest point, the G-Luxe has handle bars that are just as high as the Vista at full height. This umbrella stroller was made for taller people in my opinion.

The handle height is only adjustable by the position of the legs/wheeles. The seat and handle height depend on which of the wheel leg holes you use. My dad is 5'9" and at full height he still leans over when he walks. The seat is perfect for him.

I'm 5' 6" and I love using mine. If you flip the bar over, the grips are higher, flip it back and they are lower. So you can choose the side you want to use.

I have tall kids too - loved this stroller but had to sell it as my then 3 yr old daughter became too tall, and the tires just couldn't handle the weight either. Leg room was also a problem and her arms were pinned to her sides. I do not recommend this stroller for tall/older kids. She was wearing a size 6 in girls at the time, my now 2 yr old (just) boy is in a 5t and is too tall for the single Expedition we purchased. It is really easy to maneuver and fold down, but in my opinion takes up a lot of room.
