The Micralite Toro: definition of versatility


As you hopefully all know by now, I pride myself on practicality. Some people may consider me a bit of an analytical freak, but I will only pay top dollar for consumer goods, after I have done a thorough analysis of my options, and am convinced that the one I choose will outwit, outlast & outplay all of the other "contestants".

So that brings me to my topic of the day; the Micralite Toro. Considered one of the most versatile lightweight single strollers available in the competitive stroller market, this one will "grow" with your baby {and will make you look super cool while doing so}!

We recently test drove this stroller, and we can honestly say that this is one stroller worth its weight {price} in gold {functionality}. Aside from the many admiring stares we endured, my not-so-public-sleeper was able to fall into a cozy slumber, in full recline, as mommy finished up her holiday shopping this week.
So you say you want versatility :

  • Unique recline system allows for seamless transition from full horizontal napping or newborn mode to upright toddler mode
  • Air tires, more narrow in the rear, make it super easy to navigate the cramped Banana Republic sales section!
  • Unique open-end handlebars, allow for easily transporting up to ten or more generously sized shopping bags {believe me when I say we put this function to the test}
  • Convenient single hand fast~fold, essential during the busy season, when you have stalkers in the parking lot, anxiously waiting to take your spot
  • All weather hood with zip on rain cover & all weather boot {which we unfortunately were unable to experiment with, due to our wonderful 80 degree southeast holiday heat wave}
  • All terrain ability to venture out with us as we cut our Christmas tree down {yes, at a real tree farm}
Oh, and did I mention it has Graco Snug ride compatibility?

So you could be like everyone else and start off with a $300 travel system, then move on to a $100 umbrella stroller when baby outgrows the infant seat, only to soon realize that you need something bigger & better, and shell out another $200-300 for a top of the line stroller....

But what you should do, is just start out with the one stroller that will take you from newborn to four years in one smooth & seamless ride; the Micralite Toro.

The Toro is available at www.totsonthego.com where you can use the code "BABYLUXE" to get a FREE Micralite Toro colored liner {a $45 value}, available in several hip colors to match every personality.

I have a Micralite Toro and LOVE IT! After spending many, MANY hours researching strollers and "test driving" them--including taking time to practice folding and placing it in my trunk---I would HIGHLY recommend this stroller to every new mom I know. It is lightweight, folds easily, my car seat fits well with the adaptor, and is extremely easy to maneuver.

In the beginning, I had my stroller choices narrowed down to Bugaboo, UppaBaby, Quinny & Micralite Toro. I chose the Micralite Toro because it was the easiest to fold in one step, is the lightest and will grow with my baby. PLUS, you do not have to buy the bassinet which helps to bring th cost down (as opposed to the Bugaboo & UppaBaby).

did it bother you that the fabric seemed bulky and not as sleek as other strollers in its class? also, do you feel that the hood does not fully extend? finally, can you attach a diaper bag easily and if so which one?
