A tipping bar, as shown on Lyn's link, is really useful if you need to empty a barrow full of something heavy onto a heap. Without the bar (that loop of metal in front of the wheel) it's much harder to be accurate, because the barrow shoots off backwards when you tip it.
I don't know if anyone makes barrows for short people. I'm so short that in order to raise the wheelbarrow's legs off the ground to push it along, I have to have my arms bent - really hard work if it's full of stone... no wonder I'm built like a wrestler...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

he’s a stonemason so it has chunks of granite, slate and concrete in it, had it for years and still nothing wrong with it.
also gets used for mixing cement, we didn’t buy from this company, supported out local hardware shop but they’re very much like this
