"The smoothness the glide it’s like putting ice skates on and hitting the ice after the Zamboni just got done smoothing it out. It’s so nice it’s just like wow I’m pushing nothing it’s so light"
"it’s super smooth on wheels which helps a lot with all the walking at Disneyland and in LA"
"I’ve taken the Metro+ 3 out a few times and it pushes great—smooth and easy to steer one-handed."

"I LOVE that it folds completely flat so my LO used to nap in it comfortably."
"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."
"My 4 month old was super comfortable, and I felt good that she was safe with the lie flat. ... She was able to sleep"

"It’s been on 5 plane trips, with two out of country. We just came back from Ireland this week and it was great."
"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."

"the seat doesn't go fully vertical, which annoyed my 15 month old when we were sight seeing"
"My only beef with it is that my toddler can’t sit fully upright"

"There is no one someone can hold their baby and unfold this easily at the same time. ... It’s a 2 person or put down your baby job"
"Only thing is I find it doesn't unfold very easily, it kinds of get stuck and then I need to use two hands and my leg."
"The fold is the only thing that is a bit painful with this stroller."

"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."
"The brake, the brake sucks, pretty sure I broke the brake on the first stroller that I had to have Amazon ship me another 😂 not sure what happened but this new one, it works fine though, my first one wouldn’t release the wheels and yeah I dragged that bitch until I realized something was up. So now I don’t fold it with wheels locked up."
"We have the Ergobaby metro 3 and had the brake issue. ... The brake actually got stuck when we were traveling and it was super frustrating. ... Once it gets stuck, it starts happening a lot more often."

"Travel stroller in general don’t do well on hikes and trails as they have smaller wheels. ... We love ours, but wouldn’t take it on a hike."
"Ergobaby metro 3 or uppababy mini v3 are good options to hit most of your needs, just know the limitation like they’re not gonna be the best for outside walks outside smooth road and sidewalk"
"There is a few travel stroller that’s are but they won’t be great for walks. One the wheels are tiny"

"My ONLY gripe is it does not come with a snack tray. ... I hate that I would have to buy the separate bar and then buy a janky clip on snack tray."
"My only want is a snack tray to hold his drink and snacks"
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] ->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] ->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? ->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 • Moms, what attracted you to buy that stroller? ->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 • Looking for travel stroller recommendation [ON] ->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 • Best travel stroller [on] ->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/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel Stroller Recommendations [ON] ->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 • Travel stroller recommendations- Ergobaby metro+ vs deluxe [bc] ->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 • Ergobaby Metro+ vs. Metro 3 ->Loveeee the ergo metro 3! Can fit in overhead bin of most planes.
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel stroller suggestions plz! ->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!
