Stroller for Tall or Long Legged Parents

I'm looking for advice from tall or long legged parents who have done research into finding which strollers offer the most 'walking room' so you don't end up kicking the stroller while you walk behind it. I have a friend who has a Combi and she kicks it a lot and doesn't like walking behind it since she has to shorten her stride. Any suggestions? I have another friend who was going to get the same stroller and is now second guessing that decision since her husband is pretty tall.

What can I do next?

we have the peg perego plicko and it works great (as far as stride) for both myself and my husband (6-1"). i do have issues with the storage underneath though and it can be a hassle to fold up.

I really liked the Combi as well, but didn't buy it because my husband and I had the same problem of kicking it. We ended up with the Chicco Cortina, which has an adjustable handle, so it can go all the way up for him (he's 6' 4"), and I can use it at a lower setting. (I'm 5' 7") Babies R Us carries it in a khaki color I didn't love, but I found it online in some other color choices.

I have a Peg Perego stroller and don't have any problems with that. I am 6' tall and I love it because the handles extend. The only thing I don't like about it is that the storage underneath is small.

We have a McLaren and my inlaws (who are tall) love it.

My 6" (all leg) friend bought some extenders ar Babies R us- they just fit on her regular stroller handles.
