Does the handlebar adjust like it does on the gt?

No, it does not adjust. I'm 6' and my wife is 5'4" and we both find it very comfortable.
760692
No, it doesn't. I'm not sure if you want the handlebar low or high, but my husband is very tall and can still use the stroller comfortably. So, if you're a tall family, it's a great fit--if you're shorter, it may be a bit too high. You might try one in person before you order!

No- I'm 5'4" and the handlebar is comfortable... I ordered a non with adjustable handlebar but was disappointed in the quality...I highly recommend this baby jogger

The handlebar does not adjust. This bothered me at first, as I'm rather short (5'2") but I've gotten used to it and don't mind at all now, especially as I can steer it one-handed. The stroller is fantastic. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

The GT is a different model, not just a newer version of this stroller. The GT has all-terrain wheels and an adjustable handle (maybe other differences, but those are the biggest). I think this one is easier to push one-handed, personally, and this still pushes across grass just fine (though I don't need it to do so often). Regarding the adjustable handlebar of the GT: I am 5'1 and my husband 5'10, and neither of us have a problem with the non-adjustable handlebar of this version. The GT just wasn't worth the extra money for us.

You would not be able to adjust the handlebar height, on the Paratrooper, right out of the box. However, the handle bars could be raised with the use of a steerer tube extender or a different stem which angles upwards. You can easily purchase the inexpensive parts from any bike shop.The Montague bike models which do allow handlebar height adjustment with the stock parts are the Crosstown, Navigator, and Boston 8. They can all be raised almost 4 inches without the use of tools as they use the Octagon steering system. In addition, the X50 can be adjusted by about 2 inches but requires an allen wrench to do so.

The particular avenir MTB handlebar I bought has a 100mm rise, and there is nearly 180mm before the curve. I have a 4.5" grip, a handbrake, and an old friction type gear shifter all mounted on one side and equivalent on the other.

Yes the seat adjusts pretty high but the handle bars are static. Should be fine tho my 3 y/o (on the small/average side) 6 months ago it was fine and still fine today with room to grow until he's 4 at wich point he should be able to transition to a peddle bike

Go with the Saber. The handlebars are adjustable fore and aft as well as up and down. Also, the handlebars can be changed at your local bike shop to accomodate your personal preference; Saber utilizes regular BMX convention for the stem/bar combination.

No idea. Finally gave up on it, tossed it, and ordered a different bike. Once the B R F Bike broke--there was no fixing it. The handlebar contraptions kept coming off no matter how we tried to toghten them. Sorry to disappoint.

I have not tried to adjust the handlebar higher. I don't think it adjusts, but I did not need to adjust it any higher and I am 6 foot tall.

The handlebars have a little play in them. Like any other bike you can loosen the bolt and the neck and the bars will raise, but only a little... If you wanted to raise them higher, a longer goose neck could be purchased to replace the origional one. You can find these on line or ask your local bike shop to get you one.

The handle bars position is primarily immobile. The only ways to adjust is to increase the height and also slight front to back mobility. Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention....I adjusted my seat and handlebars, and had Ace Hardware attach some brakes on the upper part of the handlebars as well as to make it easier to use the brakes when sitting upright. It is also a good idea to have Ace or someone else qualified to tune it after assembly.

Bar was placed in afterwards. The mounts flex slightly and U can adjust the bar up or down. I tried mine in both positions.

I've done some pretty significant research and from what I can tell - the City Mini GT actually has an adjustable handle bar and the brake is a hand brake instead of a foot brake. Those are the significant differences I see between the City Mini and City Mini GT.

Yes handle bars are adjustable to 3 different settings, good for enough for 4 year old.

No, the handlebars do not adjust, only the seat adjusts. Since this isn't a spinning bike, or along those lines, you really don't need them to. A good deal of the time your hands won't be on them, or will be on the part that runs left to right in front of your body -- the part that runs perpendicular to the LED mounting post. This bike is a awesome, especially for the price. It is absolutely quiet and runs perfectly smoothly. I would definitely recommend it. I like it so much that I have been checking into purchasing an elliptical by this company as well. Hope this helps!

Sherry, no the handle bars do not adjust towards the seat. They only adjust up or down. I'm 5"2 and love this bike. It works well for me and I use it 4-5 times a week for almost 1 year now.

I have the same problem, and when I use the rubber o-rings it sits a little crooked, so I purchased the Hope Universal handlebar mount and that works a lot better. Also it sits a little higher so it clears the stem on the handlebars.
