We have the Uppababy vista v2 and absolutely love it! I will say though, while it is amazing for walks and longer excursions, it’s definitely not a put in the car because you’re going shopping kind of stroller, it’s big, bulky and heavy. I have a RAV4 and it takes up half my trunk lol We purchased a Ergobaby Metro3 (I think?) to keep in the car for short outings like that since it’s compact and a one hand fold and close!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • What travel system is everyone getting?! [ON] ->I’d go for the Ergobaby metro, you can carry it on with lots of airlines so don’t have to worry about rough handling
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel stroller [on] ->Yep, I use the Metro 3 as my primary stroller and I love it for my 3 month old. You can set it and fold it in any position. It is also pretty light for when you need to carry it around. I do agree that my son looks pretty small in the seat but he has fit the harness fine since birth and loves being in it.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Looking for travel stroller recommendation [ON] ->I live in Montreal and have the Metro 3 for my 6 month old since birth. It isn't the best with bumps and I find that it is very easy to accidentally slam it into even the smallest curb edge. That said, I absolutely love that stroller. It folds down to nothing and I can easily store it in my coat closet of a tiny apartment. My son also loves bumps so the minimal shocks is a non issue for us. One con - I'm not sure if this is normal for other strollers but the basket gets soaked when it is raining, even with their rain shield. There is also the Metro 3 deluxe that was released after I bought mine. I wish I had it. Other than including some accessories, the main differences are a magnetic buckle and a carry strap. I really wish I had the strap since I live near a metro stop without an elevator and the idea of being able to toss it on my shoulder and free up a hand sounds amazing. I haven't been able to test it out in the snow yet but I don't expect it to do well beyond an inch or so, but I think that can be said for the majority of travel strollers. For accessories: I love the rain shield and bumper bar. I fold the rain shield into a packing cube and throw it into the basket whenever it looks a little grey outside. The bumper bar is great for attaching toys. My son is also small enough to use it as a footrest lol. I have the snack tray and bug net too but haven't used them yet. The backpack is also nice for when we are out and choose to swap to baby carrying. It is easier for my partner to throw it on his back and have both hands while I carry the baby.

I second the ergobaby metro. I have the metro 3 and though I haven’t flown with it yet it folds down so small. I bought the carrying case for it and we’ll be taking it on our first flight with him in a few weeks. It’s also comfy for him and has good size storage underneath. My only want is a snack tray to hold his drink and snacks
r/NewParents • Favorite strollers for flying? ->+1 for preferring the ergo baby metro over the yoyo
r/nycparents • What collapsible travel stroller do you recommend? ->If you’re considering the UPPAbaby Minu V3, definitely check out the Ergobaby Metro+ 3. They’re very similar, but the Metro+ 3 is $350 compared to $550 for the Minu. You can usually find a 15% off coupon with a quick Google search, and Ergobaby offers 20% off for teachers, nurses, and military. I was torn between the two, but after watching a million reviews, I realized the Minu V3 didn’t offer anything the Metro+ 3 didn’t—at least not anything that justified the extra $200. I’ve taken the Metro+ 3 out a few times and it pushes great—smooth and easy to steer one-handed. The basket holds over 20 lbs, the seat sits very upright (a must for my baby), and it also fully reclines for newborns. The ventilation is better than on the Minu, which was a top priority for me since we live in a warm climate. It has a one-handed auto-fold (huge win!), and while the unfold isn’t quite as smooth, I’ve still managed it one-handed. I also got the bumper bar since my baby loves holding onto those. One of my favorite features: it fits behind the driver’s seat of my Prius! That was a big deal because our main stroller—the Cybex Gazelle—takes up the entire trunk. Before this, I had the Cybex Libelle (open-box from goodbuybaby.com). It was fine—super compact and came with a car seat adapter—but I didn’t love that it didn’t sit upright and had no peekaboo window. I wouldn’t have paid $300 for it, but I got it for $150 and sold it for $100 after one trip when my baby was 5 months old. Now that my baby is using the stroller seat more, I wanted something more comfortable and better quality—and the Metro+ 3 has totally delivered.
r/Buyingforbaby • Stuck on travel strollers ->Ergobaby metro
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel stroller recommendations [BC] ->You aren’t going to get a travel friendly jogging stroller. I would just baby wear for hikes while travelling. For a car seat friendly travel stroller, I would recommend the ergobaby metro 3. It is newborn friendly even without the car seat as it has a bassinet mode. You would have to get a car seat that works with the adaptors. I have the older version (Metro+) and love it. It’s been on 5 plane trips, with two out of country. We just came back from Ireland this week and it was great.
r/BabyBumps • Am I being naive in wanting an absolute UNICORN of a stroller? Or do I just need to accept that I actually need three strollers? ->Good with winter weather and easy to travel are going to be hard to find. The vista does everything but is bulky and I wouldn’t travel with it. I know people who have though. The ergobaby metro 3 is a great travel size stroller. It would probably manage a little bit of snow on the ground, but not snow drifts. It doesn’t have a detachable bassinet, but the seat does go all the way flat and the footrest flips up to create a bassinet. It is car seat compatible, but double check which ones. I would also look into babywearing, because not all babies nap nicely in the bassinet, haha (mine didn’t at 4 months).
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel system recommendations that include bassinet [ON] ->The ergobaby metro is a great travel stroller!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • [on] Best Travel Stroller for 6months old ->Yeah, I’ve taken mine to Ireland, Mexico, and a number of trips in Canada. Been great every time!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • [on] Best Travel Stroller for 6months old ->There’s a new one, the metro 3
r/BabyBumpsCanada • [on] Best Travel Stroller for 6months old ->I love my Ergobaby Metro and it can be used from newborn.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • Travel Stroller for 3-4 month old ->I have the OG ergo baby and recently went to Montreal with it and found cobblestone streets kind of tough. It’s doable but not enjoyable for the baby. I did my best to avoid it (they have strips of concrete that make it easier in spots). No experience with the mompush but I think even a full size stroller like an uppababy cruz would struggle a bit. FWIW the ergobaby is An amazing travel stroller! If you are thinking about a second it’s great you can buy a travel board for it. It folds up small and is great to bring around. Love love it
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel strollers: Mompush Velo vs Ergobaby Metro 3 [on] ->Ergobaby metro has been great for us. We have used it on several trips- planes and trains, Europe, Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax, Florida, Mexico… it’s now out daily driver. Has a ride along board you can purchase which is GREAT for airports with two kids under 5. I don’t know what I’ll do when my oldest grows out of it, it’s so handy!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Need recommendations for a reliable travel stroller for flying with baby [on] ->With a 4 month old you'd still need a stroller that can lie flat and many travel strollers don't recline all the way! Check out the ergobaby metro which has a built in bassinet mode without additional attachments
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →How come you got both? I thought they were pretty similar in terms of the type of stroller they are. Which one do you like more? We just ordered the ergo metro 3 with a 15% discount. Will see how it works when it arrives. It looks to have more padding on the seat and our baby still doesn't really know how to sit so maybe the padding will help
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Also a Cruz and ergo family. The big attraction for me was the price point. Yes I loved the aer and the butterfly, but holy heck was I not about to drop $600+ for a stroller that isn’t even my main one.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Loveeee the ergo metro 3! Can fit in overhead bin of most planes.
r/Buyingforbaby • View on Reddit →We ended up getting the ergo metro 3 already haha. With a 15% off registry deal it ended up under 400$. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the back wheels are narrower than front, so the storage basket isn't super easy to access from the back. I thought about returning the metro 3 and get the minu instead but I'm sure there will be other things I don't like about the minu too lol. I hope I don't regret this choice haha! Thanks for letting me know!!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →I just got the metro 3 and loved it for the two days it worked. Unfortunately the brake jammed the one wheel and now is constantly doing it. Have to take wheel off and fiddle with it to get it to release. I’m waiting to hear back from ergo baby to see what will be done.

r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →To be frank I think your list is a bit hard to achieve with one stroller. I personally have a cybex gazelle which I love because it can turn into a double and the storage basket is huge. My travel stroller is ergobaby metro and I love it for travel bc it’s cabin approved and the full recline is useful for naps on the go. However if 1 handed fold is important to you, the Nuna TRVL can be a great option for you. If you buy the Nuna car seat it fits in the stroller, it’s a travel stroller (but not sure if cabin approved). I have not personally seen many travel systems sell for less than 800 besides I think graco, evenflo and chicco but I’m not familiar with any of these that would fit your description precisely. The Nuna unfortunately doesn’t have a large basket. Large baskets I’ve only seen on large strollers like my gazelle or UB vista (the Cruz has a decent basket too). If you want the Nuna system for roughly 800 you can probably get a used stroller from marketplace and wait for the PIPA to go on sale. We have a PIPA for our son and really like it. Nuna strollers don’t work with car seats besides Nuna unfortunately.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →I have 2: a travel (ergobaby metro 3) and full size (mocking bird single). I bought the mockingbird second hand from fb marketplace and it’s amazing for walks in the neighborhood which I do almost every day. It’s heavy duty but turns and moves very easily. Also car seat adaptable if we want to haul it into the car and take it with us. The metrobaby 3 was a gift and has a newborn nest so can also be used from birth and is lightweight and folds very easily, so it lives in the car trunk.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • View on Reddit →Ergobaby metro! Nearly flat recline. Fits in the overhead. We’ve had it for 3.5 years and I cannot believe how well it’s held up!
r/moderatelygranolamoms • View on Reddit →I purchased the Ergobaby Metro 3 yesterday after doing a lot of research and trying out a few options in store. Tbh most of the travel strollers on the market are pretty comparable. At some point you end up debating between very minor differences so it’s fully up to you what you value most. The super compact ones tend to be a little worse on the stability and suspension and are more “flimsy” if it makes sense. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Bugaboo butterfly for this reason.

r/NewParents • View on Reddit →We love our Ergobaby Metro. It can fit in the overhead. You could try to get one used to save $$$.
r/NewParents • View on Reddit →I loooove our Ergo Metro 3. We had an Uppababy Minu v2 that a mouse chewed up and the Ergo is so much better. It’s also cheaper!
r/Buyingforbaby • View on Reddit →I have this stroller and used it for a month with my then 5.5mo baby traveling around Europe. The recline is just a strap you tighten/loosen and the angle depends on how much you that. It's a good stroller! And if you buy on Amazon don't forget to use a baby registry for 10-15% discount
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →I use the Nuna trvl as my travel and every day stroller and I think it does very well . Easy to fold , not so heavy, easy to fit in the car ( won’t be accepted in the airplane) but so fas it hasn’t been a issue for us ( and we travel a lot ) we just give it at the gate . the wheels are not so big but the suspension is good . So for me it’s okay as everyday stroller . The chair doesn’t recline a lot but in the first months we used it with the car seat ( nuna pipa ) . The basket side is good . Enough for a diaper bag my bag or some other things. I would say the only thing I hate are the straps . I think I never learn to use them properly or maybe now that my son is 17 months the seem to be short for him . Before I purchased the nuna I ordered two more ; : the yoyo , the ergo metro. I wanted to love the yo-yo but seemed pretty small for a bigger todller The ergo metro seemed cheaper but I think it’s a good option
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • View on Reddit →You can put it in any recline position! You just tighten 2 straps on the back as much as you want. It’s a great stroller
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Yeah, I’ve taken mine to Ireland, Mexico, and a number of trips in Canada. Been great every time!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →The ergobaby metro is a great travel stroller!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Metro city 3: light, easily collapsible, near flat recline with “bassinet” type feature for resting in the airport, multiple vents for air circulation - was an easy choice for us!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Is the metro + one hand fold/unfold? I saw some videos of it where it looked like they needed two hands to fold it which is why I got the metro 3 for our month long trip. It was so convenient to be able to hold the baby and fold up the stroller to go up escalators etc lol
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →This! Laying flat is a lot more comfortable and safer than being in a car seat - car seat technicians will always say car seats should only be used in cars to minimize risk of positional asphyxiation. Especially for a baby that young! Our babies loved the built in bassinet mode of the metro and always slept well in them. Bonus - this works well as a flat changing table when on the go!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →With the amount of cobbles you will encounter in Italy you need something with good suspension. It was as good as non existent on the metro plus so if it's ergobaby you are keen on you should definitely consider the metro 3 over the older versions. Joolz aer also has great suspension but is also too expensive for a compact stroller IMO.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Made my own comment too eagerly but yes. We love this stroller so much.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • View on Reddit →We love our ergobaby metro! Edit: some considerations that will help you narrow down options - what's your budget? The bugaboo butterfly, uppababy minu, joolz aer, stokke yoyo etc are highly rated compact strollers but are the most expensive. The ergobaby metro is a mid range priced stroller. There are also very affordable options too. Are there specific features you care about? For example, do you want it to be able to fully recline flat for naps or for younger babies, or a canopy with good coverage, or a good size basket? The ergobaby metro checks those boxes. Or do you care more about being super lightweight? The joolz aer is only 13 pounds. Or do you want a large basket? The bugaboo butterfly is your pick.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Same! We have an ergo city metro and it’s amazing.
r/BabyBumps • View on Reddit →Pretty sure the ergobaby metro is infinite recline, not just 2 options? You can choose how reclined it is by pulling the cords
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →There were quite a few complaints with the old metro that seemed to be resolved in the new one. I was in your boat too but I've ordered the metro 3. I suppose you can always order them both and return the one you don't like
r/BabyBumps • View on Reddit →I started my stroller journey by buying a highly recommended stroller and hating it... and ended up with multiple ones, which turned into testing over 100 models and reviewing them :) That said: NOT LOVING: Uppababy Vista - rides smooth, but too big and bulky Mockingbird - awful, scary with recalls, doesn't drive smoothly as all Cybex Orfeo - too flimsy Cybex Coya - where do I even begin with this bad fold GB Pockit - not worth your fingers Ergobaby Metro - too heavy for a travel stroller and unfold feels meh SummerInfant 3d quickclose - too good to be true, super flimsy Nuna TRVL - too short seat, too big to take into the cabin and too expensive for what it is Uppababy Minu - too big for a travel stroller model, weird bumper bar and flimsy canopy LOVING: Cybex Priam - amazing, especially the e-version. If I were to get a one full-size stroller this would be my top choice Stokke Yoyo3 - most well-known and guaranteed on board Joolz Aer - smooth ride, great accessories Joolz Hub2 - solid mid-size option Cybex Gazelle - good for 2 under 2 Bombi - good mid-size option Bugaboo Butterfly 2 - didn't like the first version, but these upgrades made it better Mamazing - good budget option Zoe Traveler - amazing canopy and solid stroller Inglesina Quid - cute solid compact stroller
r/BabyBumps • View on Reddit →I have both and use both, but you definitely don’t *need* both. I have the ergobaby metro which is amazing for flying because it fits in the overhead bin so no risk of damage by gate checking it. That being said, I used our uppababy travel system constantly when my daughter was first born. Popping her car seat in and out of the stroller for errands was significantly easier than lugging the car seat in the store and/or taking her out of her car seat to go in the store. Plus the bassinet attachment was so nice for neighborhood walks at the beginning. It comes down to your lifestyle, what’s important to you from a convenience standpoint, and your budget. I still choose the uppababy over my ergobaby metro unless we’re traveling because it’s a smoother ride and my daughter seems more comfortable in it. Honestly she prefers our veer wagon to all strollers anyway so that’s also an option (has a nap system attachment that turns it into a bassinet) and your baby will enjoy that for many years to come. You can also find a lot of strollers second hand for very reasonable prices and the resale value is pretty good.
r/BabyBumps • View on Reddit →Ergo metro! The only downside to a travel stroller is that most of them don’t parent face so you won’t be able to see baby unless you get one with a car seat adaptor and use the car seat, which is not ideal.
r/NewParents • View on Reddit →I love my Ergobaby Metro and it can be used from newborn.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • View on Reddit →The ergobaby metro is super comfy - one of the most padded seats, an actually supportive footrest, fully flat recline etc
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Agreed! Such a good stroller and cheaper than yoyo with newborn seat.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • View on Reddit →We’ve flown with our Ergobaby Metro and put it in the overhead every time. Haven’t flown Westjet with it though!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →We have this and love it but it's discontinued. If you find it used though it is a really good stroller in a lower price range than a lot of the travel strollers.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • View on Reddit →Sadly you can either have: A. Bulky, heavier, good suspension, good for mixed terrain OR B. Lightweight, smaller wheels, more bumpy, not good on mixed terrain, small fold I have done so much research and tried so many and they just do not exist all in one. I do firmly believe that the top "best of both worlds" strollers with a bassinet/pramette attachment option are the Joolz Aer 2 and the Uppababy Minu V3. However, both of these are more expensive. For a more budget option, bombi bebee V2 or Ergo Metro 3. Once you pick a stroller, just look what car seats they are compatible with and just get the most affordable one. All car seats are held to the same safety standards.
