Ergobaby - Metro 3 Compact Stroller NEW

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.

I wish the Joolz Aer had magnetic buckles and a non-zipper reline. Then it would be the perfect true one-hand fold stroller. There are so many videos online that show how easy it is to unfold all these travel strollers, but most of them actually get stuck when unfolding and you need to fling hard. I wouldn't even consider the Uppababy Minu V3, Ergobaby Metro 3 truly one-handed. I actually was surprised that some cheaper strollers were actually real one-hand fold and unfold. The Peg Perego Selfie and Guzzie and Guss O2 both felt like butter. Unfortunately their canopies were too small or too close to the face.

The ergobaby metro has an adjustable handlebar! The new version they just released isn't the same as the previous version that we have. And is a downgrade in my opinion. The telescoping handlebar on a travel stroller is AMAZING.

I’m in my last weeks now so nothing tried yet but I got the Ergobaby carrier and Ergobaby Metro3 stroller, they have EU store. I got my crib (Graco) and clothes second hand. Medela pump. Some stuff from Ikea for changing table.

Ergobaby Metro 3 It's working great for us with the 4wo newborn as it has a built-in bassinet-Iike mode, easy fold and doesn't take a lot of space at home and on the bus, air cabin approved, good storage space underneath (more capacity than Jools Are 2 and Bugaboo Butterfly 2) It didn't cost an eye and we believe it will be our only pram for the city and travels for many years to come, it really is a jack of all trades for us. Might be worth mentioning we live in a big city with relatively good terrain everywhere (almost no cobblestone).

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.

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.

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.

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!

Yes!! We ended up buying a compact ergobaby stroller at 8 months because the Vista takes up half of my trunk lol

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

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!

There’s a new one, the metro 3

We have the metro+ and I love it. I would get the new version, the metro3 if you’re buying now. It has all the adaptors and has one hand fold which the metro+ didn’t. I have taken it on multiple trips within Canada as well as to Mexico and Ireland.

That is true, the unfold is not one handed. But otherwise I love it. And for me personally I haven’t run into that many times where it’s been an issue 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have always had a carrier/wrap/sling as well.

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).

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