As 196cm (6'6" in crazy units) I don't think I would want to be shorter, sure it would be more convenient/cheaper in past when trying to buy shoes and pants and I can't count how many times I hit my head while living in Eastern Asia for years (and even apartment I bought have only 191cm door frame and not gonna cut concrete to make them standard 200cm), but I am still fine with my height, though I would prefer for my kid to be at some higher average, something like 185-190cm would be fine with me. It seems it will work out considering his mother is lower than average 158cm and lower than my mother (I outgrown my father, same as pretty much everyone in extended family). Btw. travelled a lot, took numerous flights (I remember good times where you could be upgraded to emergency row for free), 30+ hours bus/train journeys (India/China) while travelling and honestly travelling is not an issue, door frames and clothing/shoes are much worse. I remember hitting my head multiple times in narrow apartment hallway this summer vacation where AirBnB owner had great idea to put sticking sharp top side of hanger furniture around 190cm height, even proposed him in review solution to just cut tennis ball and put it on corner of furniture, which will be appreciated by anyone above 190cm in future and it solves issue for less than a euro.
