    Anyone have this buggy? I want one that is good for going around the park, had eye on Phil&Teds and Mountain Buggy but when I saw them in real life I just hated them aesthetically (I know everyone who has kids will be laughing at me for my lack of practicality!). I think the Stoke ones look lovely.
    Also hubby is 6'4" and we didn't realise how low most buggy handle heights are so Stoke seems to be quite tall.
    Youtube pretty useless as reviews seem to be limited to rapt Americans taking the buggy out of the box and raving about it for some reason.

    Stokke buggies wouldn't be great for walking a good bit, they're mainly for footpath type walking (think urban parents type thing). I think Joolz buggies have the tallest handles apart from Stokke. My husband is quite tall and found the handle of the Bugaboo was ok for walking.

    The out n about nipper or maxi cosi mura are great for walking. I have brought both everywhere ,the out n about is lighter and folds much smaller.

    Hey, I went to Tony Kealy's to try them all out instead of just looking online; made a huge difference to be able to fiddle with them all and fold them etc.
    Going with the Trailz in the end as the height adjustment was incomparable and important for hubby... all the others seemed very low down in comparison. I also hate the pram/carrycot attachments that you seem to need for the others and you can lie a newborn flat in this one with the wedge supplied so it's less clunky that way. Wheels were all terrain and it's a very sturdy yoke with a massive basket so am sold. I think the main thing is to try them before buying as some nice ones I had seen online looked awful in real life and vice versa.

    Out and About nipper and Uppababy vista are excellent for getting out into all terrain.
    Actually having looked at the Trailz online, the Vista is slightly better because the wheels are great for any terrain but aren't air filled-so no punctures.If you're going to spend that amount of money anyway.
