Color Name:Green Carlin
Well we went to 4 different stores and tried every stroller possible.
Our Top Three Picks for tall people:
(1) UppaBaby Vista
(2) Bugaboo Chameleon
(3) Peg Perego Skate
All 3 have handles long enough for a 6'6'' guy. But, the Uppababy handles actually were about an inch or so higher all the way across and it had a curved bar at the bottom so your feet wouldn't kick it as you pushed. The other two had straight bars on the bottom that were very easy to kick.
Of the three brands, Uppababy was the only one that had solid all terrain tires instead of air filled.
The Uppababy had a separate bassinet, whereas the other two you convert the bassinet into the toddler seat.
The Chameleon and the Uppababy were quite easy to fold down. I felt the Chameleon was a little lighter for lifting from ground to trunk. The Skate was not too hard to fold, but there were several buttons so it took more steps than either of the other two.
I would have been happy with any of the three brands and think for tall people, any one of them would work. But ultimately, my husband just loved the extra handle space and the curved bar at the bottom on the Uppa enough to make that one by far his favorite and at 6'6'' - every extra inch on that handle bar is valuable!
Other Contenders for tall people:
(4) Quinny Buzz
I loved the buzz and it might have been my top choice if I had not been shopping with my husband. I loved the great maneuverability, the lightness of the frame, the texture of the fabric and the colors. The downsides - the handle was not as long as the three above, but it was long and I believe it would work for someone 6'4'' or shorter. It didn't have as nice a basket as the others. I did like its breaking mechanism. Overall, I thought it was zippy and easy to use and fun.
(5) Orbit
We ruled out the Orbit because I felt it was too heavy and would be hard for me to move in and out of the car, but it also had long handles. My DH thought it's breaking mechanism looked cheap, but admired the technology of its seat turning system. It looked very easy to move from the stroller to the car seat and back - if weight was not an issue for you. This would be a nifty stroller for someone with good upper body strength.
(6) Stokke Xplory
As for the Stokke - I thought it would be the tallest, but it actually wasn't. We found it hard to fold (neither shop attendant could get it closed) and it was bulky when folded. The seat material seemed cheap and like it would be difficult to keep clean. On the plus side - it would be nice to have the baby up that high and close to you. I liked the idea of the Stokke, but thought the execution was cheap.
Unfortunately, NONE of the lighter weight strollers had long enough handles and enough foot room for my husband. Very disappointing. In any case we are going for the Uppababy Vista. It was by far the best option available in the 4 stores we went through!

We have the 2009 version of this stroller. Pretty much everything about the Vista is great-- it's comfortable, the storage basket is AMAZING and you can fit practically your whole life in it, and the bassinet/seat combo is really nice. If your stroller is perfectly constructed, you've got it made. The problem is, it doesn't seem like many of these strollers are perfectly constructed; in fact, ours has had a number of problems, and I doubt that the cheap construction has changed in the 2010 model.
We originally chose to buy a higher end stroller because we put a lot of miles on it, and we were expecting to have it last through two children. However, our warranty will expire in half a year, and given our history, I don't know if the stroller will make it much past that.
When we first got it for our newborn, we were quite happy. The bassinet was great, and as our son got older it was nice to be able to switch back and forth easily between the bassinet and the seat. We also really liked that the seat easily switches between forward and rear facing. When rear-facing, the stroller is less maneuverable because the weight is distributed to the front wheels rather than the rear, but this is not noticeable until your child is a bit heavier.
We had some minor problems with the screws that hold the seat together loosening (one actually fell out and got lost) and received a replacement kit for them. We've had to occasionally tighten the one we didn't replace, but haven't had problems with the replacement.
One of the plastic ribs on the canopy (the extendable sun canopy is a great feature by the way) has torn through the fabric. We were offered a replacement canopy but that seemed overkill for something that could be repaired relatively easily-- but still shouldn't have happened in the first place.
The real problems started about 6 or 9 months in, when we had to replace the front wheels because they were clicking and creaking loudly. This may be due to the construction of the wheels, which has been changed for the 2010 model. (Our current replacement set is the new 2010 "star wheels," and if those end up problematic too, we'll update.) Shortly after that, we replaced the rear wheels because the rubber had worn through all the way to the underlying foam core. Subsequently, over the course of the next 6 or 9 months, we replaced both sets of wheels twice more for the same reasons.
Finally, just this past week, the frame of the stroller broke. Not some plastic piece that holds something together, but the joint where two aluminum bars (the bottom horizontal bar and the rear "leg") are welded together. It BROKE APART. This is appalling. Their website says this stroller is constructed of "Welded and formed aircraft aluminum alloy." I really hope UPPAbaby is not planning on getting into the aircraft business.
Every time we've had a problem, UPPAbaby's customer service has been great-- prompt, friendly, and accommodating. All of the parts have been replaced under warranty. I've noticed other glowing reviews of UPPAbaby's customer service, too. However, I really feel like with a stroller in this price range I shouldn't even HAVE to contact customer service.
Overall, our son likes the stroller and it would be great for our city sidewalks-- if it weren't constantly breaking. The saving grace is the warranty-- but we hadn't planned on throwing down this kind of money on only a two year investment.

Color Name:Green Carlin
I have the 2008 model in the plum color. (I told my husband that purple is a unisex color because it is a mix of blue and red. The plum color is not a girly kind of purple and it hides dirt well.) I bought it while I was pregnant with my son. I have used the stroller seat with my daughter to take walks in the neighborhood for almost a year. I love the all-terrain wheels and shock absorbers because where I live, the sidewalks are sporadic. It is very easy to push and steer, even my 80+ year old mother can push it with ease. It does squeak sometimes and I have tried silicon spray, but can't seem to find the right spot. I do wish the stroller came with a warm bunting for cold weather walks.
I got the Peg Perego car seat adapter and it is very strong and secure. I feel very safe with my son in it. I stop at a store, unfold the stroller frame, snap the car seat in, and off I go! The under basket is very roomy. Huge, actually, and you can access it from the front as well as from the back.
I also have the piggyback attachment, which my now just 3 year old daughter loves and we use mostly in the mall. It is somewhat difficult to attach and sometimes detaches when the ground is uneven and no one is riding on it, i.e. there is no weight from the child holding it down. The stroller can be folded with the piggyback in position, but there is a trick it which you will just have to figure out on your own, because I just can't explain it. The piggy back is not enough for long mall excursions, however. My daughter gets tired of standing and holding on. She has, on occasion, been seen sitting in the underbasket. I know this is not an intended use, but she is petite (under 30 pounds) and sometimes you just need to get the kids out of the mall and back to the car in a timely fashion. I wish UPPABABY made a tandem like the Kolcraft Contours, only with the option of getting a taller seat for a toddler/infant combination instead of two twins.
The bassinet is nice, but small. I must admit that my son slept in it nightly for almost 3 months. I am sure that is not a good thing, but he loved it in there. We have those nasty asian mosquitoes here now and can't keep them out of the house in the summer, so I was thankful to have the bug net to cover the bassinet. It was so easy to slip on and off without waking the baby. I didn't like the black color and artificial feel of the material inside the basinet and I am glad to see that they now have a natural fiber lining inside. I would have loved to take my son for walks using the UPPABABY as a pram, but as I said before, the area where I live is VERY hilly and with no harness inside my son would slide around, or even out. I wish the pram came with a harness like the European strollers such as Emmaljunga do. (I had a very used Emmaljunga with my daughter and loved it.) UPPABABY did put harness attachment rings in the pram, however. I wonder what they were thinking? Unless you or someone you know travels to Europe, it is impossible to find new pram harnesses here in the USA.
Which brings me to customer service. The stroller I first received was defective. The various attachments did not snap in and out easily. In fact, once the basinet was in place, it was almost impossible to get it out. You had to twist the frame slightly to get the stroller attachment in and it only would go in one direction. The car seat attachment rubbed against the stroller frame. I realized that all of this was caused by defective stroller frame. One side was actually higher than the other and it was slightly twisted or warped. When the stroller was folded this was obvious. I called customer service. I think they only have two people in customer service. Anyway, the woman that I spoke to didn't think there should have been anything wrong with my stroller. She was telling me that it was normal to have to tug a little to get the attachments out. Hey, but what I was doing was more than just "tugging." In the video reviews for this stroller the user was easily snapping the different attachments in and out. I took pictures and the customer rep sent them to the UPPABABY engineers for review. In the end, they RELUCTANTLY replaced my stroller frame. And you know what? All the attachments snap in and out like a dream. Except that the bassinet doesn't reverse. I was under the impression that it did. With my Emmaljunga I used to switch it around depending on the sun, wind, etc.
And the cupholder stinks. At least the one they sent me. I don't currently have any issues about the lack of a child cupholder or snack tray because my three year old doesn't snack in the stroller when she is in it by herself and my son isn't old enough yet to know or care. I understand that there is a soft attachment which takes care of this from another stroller company which work well on the safety bar.
Overall the UPPABABY VISTA is a good, quality stroller at an excellent price, considering all that you get with it. I like the improvements and additions they have made to the 2009 model and wish I had it instead of the 2008 model I have. But I have thoroughly enjoyed this stroller for nearly a year and hope to use it for several more years to come. I think it is durable enough to do that and get passed along for years like the Emmaljunga I used to have. But I really, really HATE the parent cup holder attachment.
