What is a good stroller and a carrier for a short person?

Sorry to crash, just looking for opinions from experienced mommys out there.

I am 5 feet, and looking to hopefully find a stroller that is comfortable to push for a short person. DH is about 5'8". I added the city mini to my registry but havent checked it out yet ( we are going this weekend). But my friend told me they liked the city mini b/c it was good for tall people (her DH is really tall). I know I really need to go there and try it out, but now I am worried it wont be comfy for me to push. Any opinions?? Any other suggestions of strollers that arent ridiculously priced?

Also, what about a carrier? I am looking into the Ergo baby carrier...but again, not sure how good it is for short people. Any recs??

I have the city mini and it's fine for me (5'2") and DH (6') -

I also have the Bug Cameleion which has the adjustable handle - when I push it's as low as it will go, and DH makes it higher -

You're probably not looking for this line, but I have the Graco Snugride carrier/carseat which is ok but I really don't know if any others are any better. I think they're all kind of the same size. I have the Graco Snugrider to put the carrier into. I really like it b/c it is light, compact and the handle can be low for me and DH can make it higher for him (I'm 5'0" and DH is 6'1"). Not sure about the full size strollers b/c we have the Graco Quattro Tour Duo and DH has always said it was too low for him, but it might be ok for your DH since he is less than 5'8".

ETA: also have your DH go to the store and try out the stroller...DH has complained that his feet sometimes bump into the wheels because his stride is too long for the distance between the handle and the wheels of the stroller.
