Ergobaby - Metro+ Compact Stroller Series

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.

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�d go for the Ergobaby metro, you can carry it on with lots of airlines so don�t have to worry about rough handling

Ergobaby metro

Third the metro+. It is my in the car stroller as well as my travel stroller. It is not flimsy and sturdy for its size. The trifold helps with that I think, rather than folding umbrellas style. I just took it to Mexico and it was fine on the dirt/gravel roads. Before I got it, I remember reading review that it handled cobblestones well enough. It does have some suspension. I�ll be taking it to Ireland in the spring to test out!

The Metro+ goes down flat and is newborn safe. I have it and really like it. The uppababy minu is another good option and could maybe use the same adaptors as your vista?

I have an Ergobaby Metro+ that I love as well. It is my travel stroller, but it would be totally good enough as my main stroller. I keep it in the car for on the go as well.

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.

I can fit an adult size day backpack full of stuff underneath mine.

The ergobaby metro+ is a great travel stroller! It goes flat, so it�s safe from birth. Folds up small - they claim carry on sized. I�ve taken it on 4 plane trips, but always gate checked it. The sunshade is big and the adjustable height handle is nice. I just came back from Mexico (not at a resort) and it can handle rough road pretty well.

The ergobaby metro is a great travel stroller!

Yeah, I�ve taken mine to Ireland, Mexico, and a number of trips in Canada. Been great every time!

The metro+ isn�t one hand fold/unfold. That�s really the only thing irritating about it.

I love my Ergobaby Metro and it can be used from newborn.

I have taken my Ergobaby metro+ on 3 plane trips within Canada, to Mexico, and Ireland. I love it. There�s a new version, the metro 3.

We have the ErgoBaby Metro Plus and love it. We got it as a travel pram for my eldest when he was 10months to go to Rome, but used it as the main stroller exclusively after he was 1 as our bugaboo fox was just too bulky. The metro lightweight but sturdy, steers brilliantly with suspension (which a lot of travel strollers don�t have) and has extendable handle. As a tall person, this is the best bit. It also has lie flat, again something other big name travel strollers don�t have, which for my son was important as he napped in it all the time. We are now using it for my daughter and have done since she was a newborn. Negatives is that it�s probably a little bigger than others and I never trusted that it would fit in the overhead storage of a plane so have always gate checked it. Basket is small but in line with others on the market. I would definitely buy it again if I needed to, but I would be tempted to try the bugaboo butterfly also.

We just got this for upcoming travels. It seems like it is a nice stroller, but I�m not terribly impressed with Ergobaby as a company. They recently increased the price of the stroller by $80, right before Black Friday - presumably to make a markdown look like a �deal�. I know lots of companies do this but it sucks. I also ordered a carry bag for it just a few days ago from their Canadian website, but they charged me in USD. It was most definitely an error because a) I�ve ordered from there before (recently, for the stroller!) and been charged in CAD, and b) it isn�t the same price on the US site. Their customer service has been less than helpful and I had to file a dispute with my credit card company. Just be careful ordering from them and make sure you�re being charged in CAD.

We brought the Ergo Baby Metro Plus. It is an our daily stroller- but also folds up to fit in the overhead cabin on a plane (very compact!). It is slim, and can lay down completely flat when the child is inside for naps if needed. It�s a pricier stroller- but we have had it for 2 years now and it�s been a breeze! On the boat itself, we only used it when waiting in line for character meet & greets, we carried her, or she walked the other times when she was 18 months when we went on the Fantasy for a week. It fit under the bed with no issue when we weren�t using it!

The ergobaby metro is a great travel stroller!

We love our ergobaby metro+. Its in a cheaper price category than the yoyo so it wont be quite as nice but it does recline fully flat which is a feature we use a ton for naps on the go even when they can sit up properly. We also used the regular uppababy seat reclined all the way back with the infant sung seat cushion as another option for your current stroller. Since it�s the regular seat it�ll be plenty long.

We have the ergobaby metro+ which I believe has been discontinued but if you can find it we love it especially for the price point. Regardless I would never get one that couldn�t lay flat for this age/young toddlers because it makes naps on the go so much easier. My big 14mo can still nap in it comfortably.

+1 for preferring the ergo baby metro over the yoyo

Also you already have the Metro 3 and the only criteria it doesn't meet is the easy fold/unfold? I would not spend the cost of the stroller and the shipping/duties on an EU version of the bugaboo just for an easier unfold. If you're going to spend that amount of money why not look into something completely different like the Joolz Aer+ or another travel stroller all together. Personally I have the ergobaby metro+ and I can't compare it to the Metro 3 but sure the unfold is a little clunky but it has never caused me so much stress or issues that I would replace it.

We have the ergo baby metro plus and love it! It lays flat so you can start using it from birth without the car seat! But you can get an adapter if you want the car seat too.

In my research there were lots of people saying although their stroller met the size requirements they were still asked to gate check it, just FYI. We went with the ergobaby metro+. Not quite budget but on the cheaper side (also got it on Black Friday so it was even a better deal). Can't compare it as it's the only one we've tried but we're happy with it. It lies flat, has a nice sun shade, adjustable handle bar, does meet the overhead bin requirements for most airlines. We also got the bag which allows it to be worn like a backpack. It's a bit weird as a backpack but it's also handy in a pinch.

Another vote for the Ergobaby Metro+ (we got the Deluxe). We got the travel bag/backpack for it too which was really convenient for the airport! Also, Ergobaby will give you 15% off if you sign up for the newsletter so if you stack it with a sale it�s a pretty great deal. Our travel stroller has become our running around stroller and it�s wonderful, no regrets!

I got it on Black Friday 2024 from ergobaby's site for $289. That was the absolute lowest I had seen it and was watching around that time. It's only our travel stroller but I love it and I think it's soon going to become the one we leave in the car for quick errands now that our LO is getting older and the snow is gone. We are also a Cruz as a main stroller family but it is huge and so much for a quick in and out.

I have taken my Ergobaby metro+ on 3 plane trips within Canada, to Mexico, and Ireland. I love it. There�s a new version, the metro 3.

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

I would prioritize a stroller with lie flat over parent facing. I know it's weird to get used to them facing out but the lie flat is clutch for naps on the go and will be a feature you use for a long time. My (very big) 11mo can still nap in our travel stroller. Also that way you're certain your 3.5mo will be comfortable and is not in a position that could cause some harm. We have the ergobaby metro+ which is light and I could definielhy carry up stairs but isn't a one handed open. I think it's an amazing travel stroller for the price point but if you're willing to spend more there are probably better ones out there like the joolz aer.

Same! We have an ergo city metro and it�s amazing.

I think it'd be light enough but you'd need a very large backpack to fit it. I think ergobaby makes one specifically for it that could be good? When it folds, there is a strap on the seat that serves as a handle to easily carry it around.

We have the Ergobaby metro+ (not deluxe) and love it and got it for $270 which was so much cheaper than a lot of the other ones. It lies totally flat and has a massive sunshade. I think they might be discontinuing it in favour of their new Metro 3 but it's on sale at Best Buy right now.

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.

I have an Ergobaby Metro+ that I love as well. It is my travel stroller, but it would be totally good enough as my main stroller. I keep it in the car for on the go as well.

No it's not one hand unfold but unlike some reviews I saw I find it really easy. I can see how that's handy but on our trips we haven't really been escalators and when we have run into them there have always elevators close enough that we didn't mind just taking a little detour. Plus my LO doesn't love the stroller so the in and out is confusing and annoying to him because he doesn't want to be put back in sometimes.

We just did our first flight with metro+ and it�s fantastic

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.

We�ve flown with our Ergobaby Metro and put it in the overhead every time. Haven�t flown Westjet with it though!

I love my Ergobaby Metro and it can be used from newborn.

My 10mo old is similar and we use the ergobaby metro+. He seems very comfy when it's fully reclined and it has a great canopy and adjustable footrest. We got it when he was younger and when we thought he was more of an 80% percentile kid not an off the charts kid so I'm not sure of how it will do in the next year since I didn't look into it but as of right now we're really happy with it. We have the regular not deluxe and not the 3, so I'm not sure if it's still made anymore since I know they came out with a new one. It was also a great price point for what it is.

Seconding metro +! We�ve had ours for almost 2y and really like it. We keep it in the car so it�s handy when we need it. I wish the sun shade covered more (maybe newer version does?) It�s not made for hiking, but I take it out on gravel and dirt trails at the local conservation area every week and it�s decent. It wouldn�t do well if there are lots of roots and uneven steep areas though. Haven�t tried snow - it�s too low to get over much deeper snow. Our vista is better in snow, but not great either. Basically snow is only time we prefer vista

The metro+ isn�t one hand fold/unfold. That�s really the only thing irritating about it.

I love my ergobaby metro+ - it's the main buggy that lives in my car now. Very sturdy and seems comfortable for the child

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.

I have a Cruz with two winter babies (November and December). I will say it�s not the best for all snow- but can handle about 6 inches of snow max. Luckily I wasn�t forced to go out in these conditions too much with my baby. With my second there were instances I had to walk the older one to daycare in heavy snow with the baby and I just baby wore the younger one. The jolly jumper carrier cover is amazing for covering the carrier and can also be used on the stroller. If you go with the uppababy cruz o would recommend getting the heavy rain shield. It�s very robust and protects the fabric in rough conditions. I think eventually you will probably want a travel stroller for trips and as a backup. It also affords more trunk space (think driving to a weekend getaway with a few big bags). I have an ergobaby metro plus which I also love for this purpose and it fits in the overhead bin nicely.

This exactly. Also the whole point for us was to have a compact travel stroller and the deluxe seemed a bit too much and more of what people would use as a primary stroller. Also I think if you're going to spend the deluxe price there might be a better one out there for you (like babyzen, joolz aer, etc.)

We're another Cruz and egro metro+ family and I'm really really happy with the combo. I actually love the metro+ so much. There are probably better travel stroller out there but in the 2-300 price range it really was the best I could find while researching and I don't regret it one bit.

Get ergobaby metro plus or similar and you have a daily driver and travel stroller in one. I�ve heard good things about bugaboo butterfly or uppababy minu. Unless you�re planning to use the under basket storage a lot (e.g. you are a one car family and will use it to walk and go grocery shopping, etc) then a travel stroller would probably suit you just fine. A lot of ppl don�t realize this I don�t think. P.s. the honest truth is that a lot of people will recommend expensive baby products not because they are actually great (although many are) but because they have to justify the cost to themselves. I see this a lot with car seats- people love to recommend expensive seats when more affordable ones fit better in their car, are less likely to be outgrown and are easier to install.

I can fit an adult size day backpack full of stuff underneath mine.

I like my travel stroller from ergo baby (metro+). I had a super nice Graco one but it was bulky and sucked to get in my car. The metro fits in an overhead bin and is a smooth ride. I wish I got the cup holder though. Also, I recommend a wagon when your baby is a toddler.

We are happy with our ergobaby metro+ but I think that exact model has been discontinued but it seems to be available on some sites still. It does fit in the overhead bin however we've always gate checked it for our convenience and haven't had issues. The joolz aer and the stokke yoyo are really popular but we wanted something cheaper. However regardless of the stroller be prepared for them to tell you they have to gate check it, especially if you already have other carryons. If you really really don't want to you'll want a bag for the stroller and put it in the bag well before boarding so that they don't immediately clock it as a stroller when you walk by.

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!

I have the ergobaby metro+ and it fits in the overhead bin! It's been great and has become our daily stroller but I need two hands to open and close it - if that goes into your decision making. My sister has the bugaboo butterfly that she travels everywhere with. It fits in the overhead bin as well and she has been using that for her daily stroller for years. She loves it. I did not look at the GB pockit because I wanted something that I knew I could push one handed and I wasn't sure it'd be possible with the way their handles were set up.

We love our Ergobaby Metro. It can fit in the overhead. You could try to get one used to save $$$.

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

Yeah, I�ve taken mine to Ireland, Mexico, and a number of trips in Canada. Been great every time!
