Need Compact Stroller with Long Handles
I am looking for a lightweight/compact umbrella-type stroller that has long handles, since my husband and I are tall. We are getting ready to leave on vacation and don't have a lot of space, so we'd rather not take our big bulky stroller. If anyone has one they can recommend or would like to sell, please reply to me right away. Thank you!

I'm not sure about the long handles, but we love the Maclaren. It is really lightweight and comes with a strap to carry on your shoulder. We took this on vacation last year and it was super easy to get around and lightweight to carry around. It folds up and you can put it anywhere. It's also a great stroller for stores or malls as it's small and can go easily in and out of aisles.

I don't have it personally because I was given an umbrella stroller, but I heard the Combi one was awesome (at Babies R Us last time I looked). You could also check out "Baby Bargains" from the library if you have time, or they have a website but I forget the address now, where people post reviews. I know that I read that when My dd was born, and they definitely talked about strollers for tall people (my dh is tall)...
good luck!

Babies R Us sells (or used to anyway!) umbrella stroller handle extenders which might work for you.
Hope that helps!

I absolutely love my Maclaren! They're pricey but wonderful. There are several different versions, the most simple being the Volo. I have the Quest. They are England's original stroller and they are wonderful!
