I have yet to encounter a stroller that was made with a tall man in mind. Every stroller I pushed with Jeremiah and Riley was one that forced me to stretch out my arms as far as possible, walk slightly hunched over, and inevitably kick my feet repeatedly against the rear wheels.What a joy it is to revisit this with Wesley. We've been having some quality Dad/son time on jaunts around the neighborhood, but I usually end up walking alongside the stroller, pushing it with one hand like I'm playing shuffleboard. I'm sure I look ridiculous.
Add strollers to the list of things the (short) Man is trying to bring me down with. Other items include low kitchen counters, suspended lighting fixtures, and roller coasters seats.
When I one day make my millions as a slimy televangelist the first thing I will do is build a custom, tall man's home like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did.

You left out the back seats of cars, airline and theater seating. Even some church pews!
Hope you plan on compiling & illustrating these pieces for a book some day.
Cute pic of Little Red.
I didn't forget those things Anonymous, I just figured I needed to conserve space. If I listed ALL the things that bend my body into unnatural shapes, well, you'd still be reading.
Church pews are a good call... Heaven surely will have lots of legroom.
