I love this pram! I have had it since DD was born and we are still using it now she is almost 2.6yo. It handles well, the big back wheels help it to cope with bumpy ground (I just push the buggy tipped back on the back wheels when I hit a bumpy bit) and the only repairs I've had to do in all this time are to get the wheels pumped up twice and one punctured inner replaced.

It has stayed quite clean, it fits a fleece liner, it is comfortable and warm for DD. I did break last year and buy a 2nd hand mclaren, but that was only because I wanted something small to take on the plane and move around with on holiday - the Toro can be a little awkward to fit into a car boot, but usually this is solved once you pop the wheels off - and that's very straightforward. I have travelled abroad with the pram, tho, and never had any issues.

Please note the bar at the front DOES come off, you simply push it all the way up and squeeze the sides and you'll see it comes off.

The carry cot is lovely too, babies seem to sleep very well in it (mine and 2 other kids who had the same carry cot). the mattress is warm and breathable.

I am delighted with this pram because it represents great value for money and is a great British product!

This is a good travel system. It is really light for a car seat/pram/big pushcair combo. It is also far more manoeuvrable than any other I have tried. Sun shade and rain cover are also very practical and fit well. The ability t change the angle of the handles was also brilliant when I had a very sore wrist post birth from De Cuerven's yndrome and my physio was super-impressed! Front wheels are a little too wide for buses etc and back wheels are a little bulky and design makes hanging changing bags etc from the handles impossible but basically it is really good. Dont believe the one hand fold promise though - it isn't. But much much cheaper than other travel systems and almost as good.

I love my Toro. It is a huge improvement on the old fastfold. It now reclines fully and my son looks really comfy in it. It is incredibly easy to steer and to put up and down. It still does feel a little bit flimsy, but that's the price you pay for how light it is. It does take up a bit more room in the boot than the Fastfold, but not significantly so.

My only minor gripe with it is the bar across the pram. It would be nice to be able to be able to take it on and off with the child in the pram.
