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

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.

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

I am 5'8" and have no problem bending over into the handle--and the stroller is really easy to handle. I have had no trouble kicking the stroller but I think that is controlled by how far you push the stroller in front of you--controlled by your arms. I don't think you would have to adjust your stride. Also my dog is an 80 lb tripod so the stroller I have is the large one.I don't know if that makes a difference or not--but the stroller is great

No, not so far as I can tell. The handle is fixed. I'm a little tall (6'1"), and I would like the handle to be an inch or two higher. But overall, this is a great, great stroller. I highly recommend it regardless.

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).

Hi, I think the stroller handle is long enough for your height. My husband is 5'10" and his elbows are bent when holding the handle. The stroller maneuvers well and is comfortable to push.

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.

I am 5'2 and the handles work well for me. My husband is 5'10 and he says it is just ok for him. I am very pleased with the stroller.

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

My daughter is also a tall 6 yr old (49 inches) and the stroller height is just fine. She got it about 6 months ago when she was 5 and LOVES it. Hours of fun play time.

My three year olds head still has a tiny bit of space. We bought the baby jogger over the BOB because it does have a taller seat. On the baby jogger site it says the seat back height is- 26". It was the tallest back of all th strollers we found, and we looked around for a few months. I will say I'm extremely happy w my baby jogger city elite! My son is 42" tall and he is very comfy. We will definitely be able to use this until he doesn't need a stroller anymore.

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 was wondering the handle comfort between the two? I have a standard umbrella stroller and other then the stroller being too short..the handles hurt my hands. But that could be because it's not the easiest to push.

The stroller handle adjusts up an down very easily. There are buttons on both sides that you push in and then move the handle. My husband is 6' 2" and I am 5' 2" so this was very important to us. We have this stroller and it is really easy for us to both use it.

The wheels are a big difference. This one has bigger wheels with more traction; they last longer and are more suitable to rough terrain (e.g., taking it to the beach or park).My wife and I tried both in the store and we also noticed the handle on this one is more square and is thus much more comfortable. I'm 6'3 and she's 5'11 so our height might have had something to do with it.

I dont lnow if there is a difference but i have a 6 and 4 year old perfect fit. We didnt add the hot wheel flames and looks so cool. My kids love it. Grass hills.

My daughter is the same height.....the chair is not taller than any other fold up bag chair just wider and sturdier. You should not have any problems. Great chair!
