Is there a difference in the height of the handles (for taller parents) in the Ignite and the Jet? I'm 6'3 & need a tall stroller???

This stroller will suit you just fine. My husband is 6'2 and he's not hunched over when pushing it. He says its comfortable. I'm 5'2 and it also works well for me.

I had both strollers, the Ignite handles are about an inch taller but also have a better angle to them . There is also more room in between the back wheels, so you shouldn't kick it when walking. I would definetly get the Ignite over the Jet.

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.

The handles on the Ignite are about 40 inches from the ground, it doesn't adjust though. I don't know if it's good for you or not, because I am extremely short. I'm 4'9" so it's a little high for me, it feels like I did a light arm workout after half an hour of walking. The stroller is very sturdy and I've gone over grass, rocks, packed and loose dirt and it wasn't a problem. I love this stroller even though I'm vertically challenged, I needed the 'workout' anyway :). Good luck in finding one that works with your height.

I've seen a few reviews from others that were 6ft2in and had no problems. So I'm going to assume it wouldn't be Bad for you either.

My mom is 5'9" and has a very long stride and it's fine. You can adjust the handle up, as well. However, if you will be walking so much I would recommend the BOB. We use the BOB for walking and the GT for shopping and short walks around the block. The BOB is also more accommodating for a longer stride.

Mine's in my car so I can't measure (snowed in) but I'm 5' 11" and I have to stoop a bit to push it when it is set at its highest height. This is my 3d walker (one broke and I use one in the house) and one of my pet peeves is that this is true of all of them. What if I were 6' 4"? Maybe you have to special order them to get a taller one?

I m only 5 ft tall and the handle is to high for me.I have to hold my hands up when pushing it From the ground(wheels) to the handle is 43 inches high. I love this stroller and 2 of my 3 dogs also do. Good Luck

The handle does not extend. My husband is 5' 8" and it is fine for him, BUT I suspect it will not be comfortable for anyone over 6' without some kind of extension (you could hook an extension handle on, like the stroller handle extender made by MB Solutions).

I would not recommend this scooter for your son. Solely because of his height. The bars are on the shorter side. You can get taller bars for it, but by the time you do that you might as well have just bought a scooter that was taller to begin. I recommend a phoenix, blunt or MGP scooter for someone that tall.

I recently bought the Ignite stroller and have been using it for about a month. The handle height is comfortable (I am almost 5'10"), but the handle shape -- or hardness -- is not the best for me. I plan to purchase handle bar tape from a bike shop (or Amazon) to use on the stroller handles to give them some cushioning.

My son is 3.5 and about 40" tall. He got the maxi kick last year for Christmas at 2.5 and has been riding it since then. He does very well on it. Flies down driveways, uses the brake, turns, etc. I personally would get the maxi since it will grow with your son. I believe they both start at the same height, and although the maxi is a little bit heavier, it will last longer since the handlebar is adjustable.

Or really for someone over 6ft. My wife is 6ft 1' and has to bend a little to push it. It seems the jogger strollers are better for taller folks. Hope this helps

The handle heights aren't adjustable, as far as I remember. However, we have a similar height difference and the stroller is comfortable for both of us. :)

Yes there is a difference it is high stroller my daughter loves it. I glad that I purchase it last year for her Christmas gift.

I am just slightly taller at 5-11" and I am not sure what the difference would be. If I remember correctly, they are made by the same company. Perhaps you could direct that question to them?I really don't feel that you would have a problem with the " Flex" its a great way to warm up in a hurry ( after jumping out of the car and racing to the tee box) I'm looking forward to using it over the winter in an effort to prep for spring.

I have the push up as far as my model allows. My husband is 6'3" and while it does seem lower than the average stroller he hasn't had any trouble with it. The new models may have longer bars or extenders I haven't checked. We love this stroller though! The peanut bassinet was wonderful when our baby was tiny. We have 5 kids so this system is by far our favorite over the monster strollers we had previously. It maneuvers so nicely through amusement park crowds and stores. Your height may make you feel a bit like you are pushing a toy around at first but my husband definitely isn't stooped over or uncomfortable when pushing baby around. Best of luck!

It adds length so it helps stride. My husband is 6'6". We use the Chico stroller, it adjusts higher. But when we want to use something less bulky we use the city jogger stroller with the easy stroll handle and it's pretty comfortable for husband. I'm 5'8" and it works great for me as well. You will find that you walk sort of to the side of stroller. The handle is for one hand and is installed in center of handle bar which is a plus for longer legs

I have the 'Ignite' stroller and this bag fits but the tie is right above the handles (way less than 2 inches). I used it successfully on 6 flights now.

No the handle is not adjustable for taller people. However it is high enough that if you walk with your elbows at your waist I don't think it would cause you to hunch over. I am 5 ft tall and I have to hold my arms out at a higher ratio to my body than my husband (5' 8") does. Neither of us has a problem with the height of the handles. We love this stroller. We wore out the first one (took 4 1/2 years) and love it so much that we bought an identical one. I hope this helps you.

I bought mine in 2010, and the handle does not adjust for height. However, the handle bar is definitely taller than the handle bar on my Bob Revolution Duallie, so this is a comfortable stroller for someone who is tall.
