Great for empty non folding pushchairs or strollers
It seems that nearly all folding strollers are designed for people under 5ft 6" with a very short stride. I am of average height and walk with one foot in front of the other. This is a problem as I stoop and kick the back of our stroller. I bought this contraption hoping it would be the solution and if you only walk up and down a perfectly flat surface, devoid of camber and do not need to turn or navigate kerbs then this is your answer. Unfortunately pavement's are not level and they have kerbs and occasionally you do have to steer. The feel of the grip is great. In fact the whole top ⅞ of it is very good. Bizarrely though it cost twice the price of a compact folding stroller. Where it fails is where it attaches to the handles. The makers have gone with flexible straps like cable ties but much more awkward and as I later found, virtually impossible to release once tightened. In use in a straight line it felt great and the extra height and stride space was a revelation. If the stroller remained empty then this would be the perfect solution. Mine however has a child in. There is a fair bit of leverage required to steer with weight in a stroller, so much so that the stroller handles and the straps flex meaning you need to anticipate a turn and force the handlebar contraption on full lock on a medium camber. This would be better if it was fitted to a non folding stroller which raises the second issue of quick release. As the handlebar adds length to the stroller when fitted and disables the folding mechanism when fitted, there needs to be a quick release system so the stroller can be folded an put in the boot of a car. I had to tighten the straps so tight to enable me to even walk with the stroller that the straps were unreleasable, no matter reusable. Needless to say it has been returned.

One of the best things ive bought!!
This extension means I can take my baby out in her pram with my toddler daughter on her buggy board seat without doing an awkward waddle or catching my feet. I use this with a mamas and papas zoom which has one solid handle. Its perfect for going out and about and the flexibility of the handle means it folds down perfectly with the pram! Dont get me wrong going up kerbs I always use the actual pram handle as I personally feel safer using that for kerbs. Also when were in tight spaces i.e. shops, I use the velcro strap to keep the handle extension out of the way as its quite difficult to maneover the pram round lots of corners using the extension. For the sake of saving your sanity and getting out the house and having a decent walk I would recommend this handle extension. So worth the money.

A truly terrible product
I'd give this product zero stars if possible but sadly there's no option to do so.The unit itself is very cheap quality and feels like it could actually break once there's a baby in the pram and a toddler on a buggboard.Within 2 minutes of opening the box it had failed to screw on at one side. The soft plastic thread to hold this in place had worn as the tooth there to bit it had bent.If this had been £6.99 I may have persevered and modified it myself to work properly, but it's significantly more expensive and the quality does not relfect the price.Do not waste your money on this product

I made it work with a hacksaw.
There are some diverse reviews here and I agree with most of them to some extent. The floppy nature of the extension limits it when going up and down curbs, which is annoying to a degree, but, on the flat, it certainly does save me from getting a sore back through stooping all the time. Actually, I took a hacksaw to mine and shortened it down a few inches. Then I turned it upside down so that the loop points downward. In this configuration it works a lot better for me.

It is comfortable to maneuver with one hand
If you are a tall parent, you definitely need this extension handle. It is comfortable to maneuver with one hand. Quality is quite good, arrived quickly. I am pleased with the purchase.

Useless.
Just awful. Hardly universal. We have a Phil & and Ted's Dott 2 and these just didn't fit securely. I need am extension as with a buggy board on, I'm straining my back, but this thing was dreadful.I'd read other reviews saying similar, but thought I'd give it a try, but they were right!
