Are you always kicking the back of your stroller or bent over to avoid doing so? Finally here is an umbrella stroller with tall handles that will keep you strolling in comfortable upright position. The First Years Ignite Stroller is a new stroller that just came out and I think it’s much better for tall parents than the Heavenly Stroller!
The First Years Ignite Stroller
Besides being designed with tall handles, this umbrella stroller has got a few nice touches that the Heavenly Stroller lacked. For one thing, there’s a basket. Although it is rather small, and not very easy to access with the cross bar at the back, but it is a basket nevertheless. You can put a small diaper bag in it.
The First Years Ignite Stroller also bears up to 50 pounds, 10 pounds more than the Heavenly Stroller and many more than other umbrella strollers. You can use it for older toddlers as well as babies as young as 6 months old. The seat doesn’t recline fully, though I wouldn’t expect that for a umbrella stroller.
This stroller is easy to push and turns easily as well. The wheels are good for hard, smooth surfaces but can handle the pavements all right with a few cracks or bumps. Way to go!
Other Nice Stuff
This umbrella stroller is well built, assembles in 5 minutes and folds up compactly. The seat is quite comfortable for the child compared to other cheap umbrella strollers. There is a zippered pouch and cup holder for parent.
It comes at such an affordable price too. At $45 this wholly compensated for the fact that it doesn’t have a hand strap for carrying, or an adjustable canopy. I think The First Years Ignite Stroller is a good buy, what do you think?

Although there are numerous types of baby strollers in the market, to get a desirable one at affordable price is pretty hard more often than not. This is especially true when you are searching for a single baby stroller that can accommodate both your newborn and toddler at the same time, which means a baby stroller with double seats.
Phil & Ted Red Sports Buggy with Doubles Kit
Phil & Ted Red Sports Buggy with Doubles Kit is a cost-effective all-terrain stroller, which is capable of converting into a double-seat baby stroller with the help of the double kit that is selling separately. This particular baby stroller is suitable for newborn to 4-year-old toddler.
With the use of double kit, you can fit this versatile baby stroller with a newborn and a toddler or two toddlers at one time. It offers absolute comfort to your child, especially newborn with its spacious seat that fabricated with Velcro adjustable crotch strap and sun visor (canopy) with window as well as capable of full reclining.
Apart from that, Phil & Ted Red Sports Buggy with Doubles Kit is modern in design, vibrant in colors and has good quality fabric. It also has ratcheting adjustable handlebar with wrist strap that is extendable for tall people. Hence, undesired slouching or stooping can be avoided.
On the other hand, this baby stroller has a lockable front wheel and single-action dual rear brake that are particularly useful in ensuring the safety of the infant and offering smooth rides, even along craggy streets or pavements. A fender is installed at the rear wheels to prevent the splashing up of mud and soil on rainy days.
For the purpose of better storage, the wheels of Phil & Ted Red Sports Buggy with Doubles Kit are designed to be removable by a push-button.
Thus, it can be flatly folded and the space needed in the trunk is greatly reduced. Besides, there is a roomy basket under the stroller for keeping baby’s essential stuff as well as a pocket on the canopy for keeping smaller stuff such as keys. As an extra benefit, this baby stroller enables you to jog with two kids without hassles.
To sum up, Phil & Ted Red Sports Buggy with Doubles Kit offers great functions with a reasonable price, and renders improved maneuverability with good control!

Finally there’s an umbrella stroller with adjustable handles! The Heavenly stroller (named quite suitably, in my opinion) is The Umbrella Stroller for tall parents.
The Heavenly Stroller – Best Umbrella Stroller for Tall Parents
Maybe height is not really such a big issue for most parents, because all strollers are made with handles for the average height.
But if mummy or daddy is exceptionally tall and always have to bend over to push the stroller, then a stroller with adjustable handles is just what you need. If you love your baby very much but positively feel tired taking him/her out in the stroller, you know what I mean.
What’s so cool about The Heavenly stroller is that the handles can be adjusted to suit parents of any height. And you can do this any time even while baby is in the seat. Just push the bulbs on the vertical bars and pull the handles up or down to the position good for you.
There’s nothing very fancy about this stroller though. It’s a super basic stroller, with only one small pocket, but the vertical bars are kinda handy to hang small things on. I wish they’d come out with more features on this stroller.
The Heavenly stroller is lightweight and folds up very compactly. Great for outings in the park, I’d say. It’s affordable too, only about half the price of the usual umbrella stroller, so you can probably buy it as a spare stroller.

All the double strollers are too heavy to push? Get this Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand On Tandem Stroller then. This is the lightest sit and stand stroller available!
Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand On Tandem Stroller – Best Lightweight Sit and Stand Stroller
This Joovy Caboose weighs only 21 pounds, only about half the weight of other similar double strollers. I bought this stroller when my kids were older because I wanted a lighter option for my shopping trips. It’s so easy to maneuver I can do it with one hand!
There is a front seat, a standing platform and a padded seat for the toddler to sit when tired of standing. I think this stroller is not suitable if both your kids would want to sleep during the trip, since it doesn’t have two full seats.
If you need two full seats, the Baby Trend is a better choice. But since my older kid has grown up a bit, he prefers to run around and only stand or sit in the Joovy when he’s tired.
Oh and I must mention the sun canopy – it really keeps my kid cool under it. The canopy is thick and large enough to block off most of the sun, so I can bring my kids to the zoo without worrying that baby will be uncomfortable.
What I didn’t like about the Joovy Caboose was the small basket and the lack of room in the rear seat when the front seat was reclined all the way. But I guess I couldn’t ask for that much if I liked the compactness and lightness of it.
Overall this is a good sit and stand stroller to have if your kids are old enough, or you only use it during short trips.

Personally I’d prefer the Combi Twin Sport 2 over this one for a twin stroller, because strictly speaking this Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport umbrella stroller is not much lighter than the Combi (which is not an umbrella stroller), but I have to agree that the price is attractive.
Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller – Best Twin Umbrella Stroller
This stroller is nice for short trips, doesn’t have a lot of fancy features but I wasn’t counting on many with an umbrella stroller.
Each seat can recline independently, which is wonderful! It doesn’t have a storage basket, but I’m pleasantly surprised by the two pouches on the sides to keep small stuff in. The other things you need can be hung on the handles, I guess.
The Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport is compact enough to go through standard doorways with a little angling, and it folds down nice and flat. I like that it can be folded using just one hand, because with two babies on tow I don’t think you can expect anything less!
Its description says it has all terrain wheels but I’m not sure that’s true since I haven’t tried it on sand or grass. The wheels didn’t look very ‘all-terrain’ to me.
Well, all in all the Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport is a decent twin stroller, the best in umbrella type, and there’s a big cut in the price right now.

Just imagine that you want to take your baby out for a shopping trip by yourself, of course you’d need to bring the stroller along, but can you hold the baby in one hand, and fold up the stroller to put in the car/cab with another? With Inglesina Zippy Stroller, you can!
Inglesina Zippy Stroller - Best Stroller
The best feature of the Inglesina Zippy Stroller is that it really allows you to fold it up using just one hand. It weighs only 28 pounds so even the petite mother can haul it single-handedly into the car with little effort. Reviewers mentioned that you have to lock the front wheels when folding it up, but this can be easily and quickly done with your foot.
The Inglesina Zippy Stroller is as zippy as its name. Its all-terrain wheels and good maneuverability offer you the freedom of taking it for all kinds of walks, be it on bumpy paths or crowded places.
Inglesina Zippy can also be turned into a travel system with a universal car seat adapter which will attach it to most brands of infant car seats. It comes with a snack tray and bumper bar, and is compatible with the Zippy Bassinet.
I think this is a good standard stroller to have especially if you travel around a lot, since it has the one-hand-fold feature and adaptable to car seats.

The mums who cared about little details out there, this is the double stroller for you. Graco Quattro Tour Duo is the best tandem double stroller for twins or two children of close age.
Graco Quattro Tour Duo – Best Tandem Double Stroller
If you asked me what this stroller can do better than the Graco DuoGlider, I’d say it is the little things that significantly make your day easier.
The Graco Quattro Tour Duo comes with all the handy stuff like cup holders for both the kids and the parents, a bigger basket down there to keep all the things you absolutely must bring with you, and a fanny pack for mummy.
Speaking of the basket, this stroller lets you access the basket when baby is in the seat, something that Graco DuoGlider can’t do. In fact, there is even a storage space in front for the front kiddie to put toys or snacks in.
Parents who like to go for walks in parks will like that the shock absorbers let babies ride more smoothly. And the window above opens to let you see into the infant seat.
Graco Quattro Tour Duo is really big though. And I mean BIG. Although it is not much heavier than the DuoGlider, a reviewer claims that it made him feel like he’s pushing an SUV.
It’s rather bulky and tall when folded down, so you might want to reconsider if you have a small car. However, both seats fit nicely into Graco car seats.
I’d suggest you get this if you like all the convenience features, and have a lot of space in your car for it. Otherwise check out the Graco DuoGlider, which is really more compact and cheaper but with less features.

How can I describe the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe? It’s an awesome travel system!
Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System – Best Full Car Seat Travel System
I thought I saw a bargain when surfing in Amazon – it was selling for a lot less than retail stores – and a bargain it was. Once it arrived at my doorstep, I couldn’t stop admiring the material. It’s so soft and lovely to the touch!
Baby must feel so comfortable in it! The seat is large enough so baby can enjoy the space and yet it’s very safe for baby with a 5-point harness. Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe gives a smooth ride even when we’re on not-so-smooth pavements.
As a stroller, I loved that it can recline as many as 4 positions, even though I only used 2 until baby got a bit older. The canopy provides enough shade for baby regardless of what position the seat is reclined to.
As a car seat, both the seat and the base are very easy to install. At first I thought I’d be stumped because I had imagined it to be harder.
The stroller frame is light enough to lift into the car after folding it down with one hand. The seat is very heavy, so I always have to install the car seat first before putting baby into it.
The weight also makes the stroller quite difficult to push, as I’m not heavy-built. But I’m sure this weight must contribute to the smooth rides for baby, so I try to put up with it.
I would recommend Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe to the mums who want a sturdy and comfortable travel system for baby but who’re not too petite to push a nearly-50-pound stroller plus baby.
