I was hoping someone could help with a specific request...

My husband and I are both tall (6'1 and 6'5). We've been searching for a compact lightweight stroller to take on 5-week holiday when our daughter is 8 months old.

We were all set to buy the Maclaren Quest but it's too low (no extendable arms so we kick the wheel base when we walk!). The fancier model, the XT, has the extension but is too heavy.

We already have a Mountain Buggy so are looking for something much lighter and more compact. Any suggestions? Thanks!

have you tried the quicksmart stroller from farmers... its the best light weight stroller weighs 7kgs and can fold up to be hand luggage on the plane... easy to push around. my DH is 6 "1 and doesnt have a problem with it. it is $399 but when they have 30% off its worth it...

We picked up a simple Jolly Jumper stroller from Farmers for $80 purely because it was extra tall! My DH is 6'3 and its perfect for him.

Yep it does recline right back. It has about 4 levels of height that it reclines to.

Baby Jogger looks great, and high too! I'm hoping to spend less this time though (after the big Mountain Buggy investment!) Same goes for the Quick Smart (I heard they have plasticy wheels so maybe not good for lots of walking/exploring in Europe?)
Am thinking of the Jolly Jumper one. Anyone know how heavy it is?
Thanks for all your help!
