Stroller arm extensions?

[Aliisa]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew where to find the arm extensions for umbrella strollers? I only found 1 pair on eBay. I am 5'8" and my husband is 5'11" so we can't stand up straight while pushing it. I really want to get these for our upcoming trip, esp. since I'll be 32-33 weeks pregnant! Thanks so much in advance

I feel your pain! I'm 5'10 and DH is 6'4" so we totally understand that aching back feeling! We are actually brining a hideously oudated looking double stroller that I got for $8 at a garage sale with us on our trip simply b/c it is the most comfortable for us to push! I'm fine with it as is, DH needs the extender but on this particular stroller he doesn't even need it all the way up.

You can order an extender from One Step Ahead (that link should take you right too it, if not it's on page 2 of stroller accessories) for $22.95. Every now and then I see them cheaper at Babies R Us or something but it's rare to find them at all much less cheaper. IMHO, it was well worth the $25 we spent (ESPECIALLY with you being pregnant...congrats by the way! )

I don't know if there is a Babies R Us near you, but I saw them in the store today for $14.99.

just attached mine for our trip next week. they are not quite as tight as I had hoped--am thinking about duct taping them to the stroller--that'll be attractive
