It can be infuriating when you find a pram that ticks all the right boxes… apart from the height. While you might be too busy looking at the wheels, compatibility, and maximum weight capacities, the height of the handlebars might simply slip your mind.
It happens to the best of us, but it can harm your user experience when the handlebar is too short to be comfortable for your height. Today we’re looking at the best tall parent prams, so you can enjoy exploring the world with your little one – without the backache.
We conduct our best prams for tall parents reviews through a combination of product testing, individual research, real buyer feedback and certified paediatrician approval.
We understand that there is no such thing as a “best pram for tall parents” for everyone, and what is best for one parent might not be suitable for another. With this in mind, we assessed prams by comparing different features and specifications, and have highlighted the buyer we believe the product is best suited to.
We considered the following criteria below:
Plus much more! The following prams are in no particular order, and there’s something here for everyone. So let’s dive right in!
First up is the Bugaboo Fox 3, which seemed to be a fan favourite among the tall parent forums we perused before researching for ourselves. And with an adjustable handlebar between 88 and 108 cm, it’s not difficult to see why! This pram gives you 20 cm to play with, making it ideal to find your perfect setting. It’s even better for parents of vastly different heights!

We’re a big fan of the Baby Jogger City 2 for many reasons, and the adjustable handlebar height is just one of them. The handlebar height of this pram extends between 104.5 cm and 111 cm, easily altered through the telescopic handle.

We want a pram that can grow with our children to the fullest extent, and City 2 does exactly that.
Below we have listed pros and cons based on real buyer feedback:
The City 2 is ideal for parents who often need to adjust the height of their pram handlebars depending on the day. The City 2 has everything you need and gives you so much flexibility. Plus, it’s great for city dwellers and parents who are always hopping on and off public transportation.
Another fan favourite among tall parents, the Vista 2’s handlebar extends from 100 centimetres to 108! While this isn’t the biggest range we’ve seen, even the lower end is taller than the average handlebar height.

Below we have listed pros and cons based on real buyer feedback:
The Vista 2 is an excellent choice for parents looking for a travel system with a carrycot to keep their newborns snug and safe in those first few months. Toddler seats are never as comfortable as a flat pram insert!
