Loola Up vs Micralite Toro

I have just bought a secondhand Loola Up as I really wanted a rear facing pushchair for DD who is 5m. I know everyone says they prefer to look around but we do a fair bit of dawdling round the shops walking so I'd like her to be able to see and interact with me, and she seems happier when she can too.

I have a Toro which I bought 5 years ago and am using with the Maxi Cosi atm. It's ok, but I find it strains my wrists when steering and completely fills the boot of our car. The main advantage is that I can bump it up and down the two steps to the front door which I can't do with our Maxi Cosi Noa which has small wheels like the Loola Up.

The Loola Up is apparently heavy but as we have the Noa already we will use that for travel/public transport, and the Loola for walks, shopping etc. The advantages are rear facing, adjustable handlebar (DH much taller than me and finds Noa uncomfortable) and apparently folds smaller.

I can't keep all these pushchairs, so can anyone help me decide which one of the two to keep??

Theres no point having a pushchair which hurts your wrists to push. But I can't say the Loola is the best pushchair ever. But if you like it, keep the Loola and sell the one which hurts you! I wouldnt be recommending using a pushchair with a car seat for long periods of time really anyway :)

Just seen this Tiggy, I have tightened up the screws on the Toro and find it a bit easier to push - I think it is essentially really a two handed pushchair but I often try to push with one hand! I have decided not to get the Loola Up as reviews are bad and want this one to last, hence the Mutsy/Oyster thread!
