Taking on the stroller

Just because everything is made in China doesn't mean they have to be made to Chinese size and heights. Last week we were given a stroller which seemed light and easy and was in reasonably good condition and as a cheapskate I had no problem taking it. The entire thing seemed like a great deal till I unfolded it and started wheeling my kid around and almost instantly my back started barking. I can't say there was a good reason for it other than the fact the pushing handles are made for somebody who has Patrick Ewing's length arms or is as tall as Mugsy Bogues. After I walked 10 city blocks like I was the hunchback of Notre Dame, I felt like Charlie Weiss Tapdanced on my back because for three days I had a hard time getting out of my chair. So now I am forced to make a choice of buying a brand new stroller, buying some ridiculous extender or walking around like an 80 year old
