? Strange. We have the City Mini GT, and it is not ultra heavy.

Uppababy Vista was the only one that worked for me. (5'11") It is good on arm length and also allows me to take long steps without kicking it. All the Maclarens I tried I would up stubbing my toe on with each step.

6'1" -- we had a peg vela, although I think that's been replaced by the aria.

I am 6 feet and tried just about every stroller in the store. The issue isn't only having the handle be high enough. You don't want your feet to hit the lower cross bar when you're walking with your normal stride. I walk everywhere and I walk pretty fast, so this was my main concern. You have to get going at a decent pace to really see whether your stride will be interrupted by the bottom of the stroller.

Citi Select. It was by far the best option. I'm surprised others are saying Citi mini. My feet hit the crossbar when walking with that one.

I've had it a few years and am very happy with it.

Thanks so much for the replies! There are definitely a few I hadn't checked out before on here.

We've been using a borrowed Uppa Baby G-luxe, and that's an okay height, but still not ideal for him, which is why I was wondering about adjustable handle bars...

We use the City Versa (adjustable handlebar), but that's not a lightweight stroller.

I'm tall and did the peg perego pliko- that was a few years ago, but I'm sure there is a similar version. Great stroller and much lighter than the bobs, city mini's, etc without being useless.

I'm definitely not as tall as your husband (just 5'11"), but I have short arms, and so most strollers just don't work for me ergonomically. It's not so much whether the handlebar is adjustable as it is how everything is designed and spaced - the BOB Revolution doesn't have an adjustable handlebar but it works fine for me. I'd really recommend having him trying things in the store. PP mentioned Maclaren, but Maclaren strollers didn't work for me, with the exception of the XLR, which is 17.4 lbs - almost as much as the 20.9 City Mini GT.

We just bought the City Mini GT as an every-day option for us. I haven't found anything lighter weight that really works for what I need.

This. I think the techno XT is the one made for talls.

http://www.amazon.com/Maclaren-Techno-XT-Stroller-Black/dp/B00B98E1N4

"Height adjustable handles and four wheel suspension The Techno XT offers height adjustable handles for our taller parents to deliver a more comfortable stroll. Coupled with the alloy-style wheels with self-aligning front swivel unit and all-wheel suspension, the XT makes for a much smoother ride and is perfect for parents on the go."

Maclaren strollers fit tall people well and are very lightweight and city friendly.

The only stroller I've found that fits my 6'5" husband well is the City Mini GT. But it's SO heavy and we'd like something lighter (under 20 lbs?). Any suggestions? The handle bar adjust on the GT which makes it perfect, the regular City Mini is lighter but doesn't have an adjustable handle bar so it's a bit too low. Any other adjustable handlebar strollers?

If we are going to shell out a lot of money on a stroller, I'd prefer to get something he can push comfortably.
