Do you need adjustable handle height?

An adjustable handle moves up and out away from the buggy or down and in towards the buggy and is designed to make pushing a buggy easier. There are usually two different height positions as well as fully extended or closed.

Pros

  • Easier for people of different heights to push your buggy
  • More comfortable to push

Cons

  • Constantly needs adjusting
  • Handle can rattle because of the constant adjustment
