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.

We have a City Mini, and it will not fit. We did not want to travel with our City Mini, so we bought a $60 umbrella stroller to travel with (First Years Ignite). The umbrella stroller is less than have the size of the City Mini, and it takes up most of the room in the bag.

I would say it is similar. The handles are at a great height. I don't have any trouble. The molded are just as comfy as the foam.......although we all know foam eventually falls off or gets torn, so the molded on the ignite will last longer.

I don't know about the ignite but I can say from having owned the jet that it is a poorly designed stroller and I do not recommend it. I was taken with the price but regretted wasting my money. The stroller does not steer on the most basic sidewalk.

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.

Yes it will work perfectly well for tall people. That way, the distance of the handles will be more appropriate for your size. Get this stroller. I've had it for for more than 3 years and we are still using it.

I do not think the handles on this are adjustable. From some reading I just did, I think the First Years Jet is a pretty good option for tall people.

I'm 5'8", and find that with compact strollers, especially umbrella strollers, I feel hunched over. I love this feature, especially when jogging, I can adjust to maximum height, and hold sides, rest my forearms, whatever is comfortable. It also helps with the steering. I've had other joggers in the past, but none had this feature, and I wouldn't get another without it. Hope this helps

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

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.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in The First Years strollers. I think you may mean the Ignite Stroller, rather than the Indigo Stroller in comparison to the Jet Stroller, as these are very similar in style and construction. The Ignite stroller is slightly larger than the Jet: Jet Stroller: 30" L x 19" W x 39.5" and weighs 11 lbs. H vs. Ignite Stroller: 34.5" L x 18.5" W x 39" H and weighs 14 lbs. Both strollers have durable frames rated for use to 50 lbs. The Ignite Stroller also features a Euro style frame.

I think that you will have to hunch over. This stroller is not very tall. I am 5'5 and the height is good for me without hunching but anyone any taller may have a problem.

As i stated before. The ignite has a stationary shade, but it is a little bigger. the jet has one you can move and rotate but is smaller. We don't have a problem with our ignite, but our daughter is 2 and will just move is she wants to or ask for her sunglasses. The ignite recline about 5 inches, and the jet about 2 with a pull string cord. I would want my child to be at least 6 months for the ignite, probably a year for the jet.....less support on the back of the seat. I say the jet is more like an umbrella stroller seat wise with the fully movable shade, the ignite is more like your full size stroller seat and shade wise.I have pics of her in it reclined and sitting, but don't know where to post them??

Height will not be a problem, my stroller is on it's last leg but it has served us well, especially all the many trips to Disneyland and malls. This stroller was my preferred choice over our big twin Aprica that sits in our garage and collects dust. The stroller is light and compact and we have had it about 3 years.

We use ours for First Years Ignite, which I believe is similar in size to the Jet.

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.
