Our Review of the Micralite TORO Newborn stroller
Micralite Strollers made a huge impression with the release of the ultralight and agile Fastfold Newborn System, and followed up even stronger with the new Micralite TORO Newborn System - a beautifully designed and extremely convenient stroller package that includes a pram for infants and reclining, padded seat for toddlers.
Parents in search of a light, maneuverable, and fashion forward urban stroller that will carry a baby comfortably from infancy to 40 lbs. will definitely enjoy the versatile Micralite TORO Newborn System.
- The Micralite TORO was a distinguished finalist in the 2007 JPMA Innovation Awards
BENEFITS FOR MOM & DAD
Like its predecessor the Micralite Fastfold Newborn System, the new TORO Newborn System's pram and seat ride are available in an array of vibrant colors and ride on a light aluminum frame with 12" air filled wheels in the rear and wide set swivel wheels up front. This unique wheel configuration makes the TORO extremely easy to maneuver, and allows it to fold up into a package tight enough to rival some umbrella strollers. It even stand on its own once folded.
The Micralite TORO Newborn system is the epitome of contemporary stroller style. Mix and match TORO Seat Liners are available to customize the look and feel of the TORO seat.
Convenience
The TORO Newborn System from Micralite has a range of features that any on-the-go parent can appreciate, from the simple one-handed folding mechanism to the unique sliding recline for the seat. The patented Fastfold action brings the front wheels in tight to the frame for one of the tightest folds in its class. You'll only need one hand to fold the stroller, and it locks when folded and stands on its own for easy storage in a corner or closet.
The TORO Newborn System is lightweight and offers a relatively high weight capacity of 40 lbs., allowing you to transport a child in from infancy in the pram or with the car seat adapter, up until he or she is 3-4 years old. No matter what your baby's age, the multiple recline positions offered by the TORO's uniquely balanced sliding seat system are the key to keeping your kid comfortable. In addition, the TORO stroller's easy maneuverability and extra-tight turning radius make the TORO a must for city streets or the cramped aisles of your local shopping center.
Included Accessories with the Micralite TORO Newborn System:
- Secure, padded pram for infants
- All-weather hood with zip on rain cover
- All-weather insulated boot
- Underside storage basket
- Air pump
Pushability
The wheel configuration of Micralite strollers is truly distinct, offering excellent stability and a tight turning radius without sacrificing size or weight like a larger swivel wheel stroller. Though not equipped with shocks or an adjustable handlebar (the handle is set at 38") the air filled wheels and padded handle grips ensure a smooth, comfortable stroller experience for both you and your baby.
Compatibility
The included pram accessory accepts a single Maxi Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat.
Do you own a Graco infant car seat? Get the Micralite TORO Graco Car Seat Adapter, which accepts either a Graco SnugRide or Graco Safe Seat (Step 1) infant car seat.
FOR JACK OR JILL
The padded pram of the TORO Newborn System makes for a stylish and comfortable beginning to your baby's stroller experience. The TORO stroller may carry a little more weight than the ultra-light Fastfold FTS, but the TORO takes all the elements that made the Fastfold great and adds a 180-degree reclining seat with thicker padding to create an even more comfortable ride for a growing toddler.
Comfort
The Micralite TORO stroller has the same basic frame design as the Fastfold FTS but with one modification: while the Fastfold seat had a limited seat recline (just 140-degrees). The toddler seat of the TORO Newborn System offers a suspended seat with a unique sliding function that allows for multiple recline options and, best yet, a full recline for maximum relaxation. In addition, the entire seat and pram are well shaded by the large sun canopy.
Safety
- ASTM safety certified
- 5-point safety harness
- Parking brake
- Bumper bar
COMPARISON
The natural comparison to the Micralite TORO would be the Bugaboo Cameleon or the high tech STOKKE XPLORY, two very unique (and expensive) strollers with both a bassinet and toddler seat.
The Cameleon is heavier than the TORO, has an equivalent weight capacity, but can be a pain to store because it takes several steps to fold and breaks down into two pieces. The XPLORY is truly one of a kind, but somewhat cumbersome relative to the light and agile Micralite TORO.
