Ergobaby - Metro+ Compact City Stroller

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

We have this one, the ergobaby metro plus. For our daily, we have the bugaboo Fox 5, which is a big leap in terms of weight, storage and overall feel. Folds for security, fits in overhead, fits in trunk of cars. https://ergobaby.com/metro-compact-city-stroller-slate-grey?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=ToF_PerformanceMax_Stroller&utm_term=—&utm_content=—&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADk2sN1y763-dLxUv4suQLCiwoxAq&gclid=Cj0KCQjw16O_BhDNARIsAC3i2GDT-hb5toem7OiG-_rRORP_4qAxYhM5al-5Qh7N1BGMBrQPyvSzJ4UaAp4gEALw_wcB

5 weeks is pretty young for a travel stroller as they usually don't parent face and are don't always recline all the way flat. I have the ergo baby metro and it does recline fully and the newer model looks even better for younger babies. I was also looking at the evenflo reversi. I'm not sure how heavy it is but I like that it was more lightweight than my Cruz and could still parent face. 

I have the Cruz and Ergo too. I have a love/hate relationship with it because I find the open to be super annoying and def not one handed. I do like that it has decent storage on the bottom and I LOVE that it lays flat. 

We also have the Ergo and are going on our first trip with it soon. Did you get the travel bag to check it or do you just fold and check?

Amazing, you have convinced me to order it! 

We have the ergo baby metro. Overall I like it a lot. I LOVE that it folds completely flat so my LO used to nap in it comfortably. My almost 2 year old still fits in it nicely and it packs up pretty small. The underneath storage is small but it is on all travel strollers. The only thing I don't love is how it opens. I find it super awkward and difficult to do if I have anything else (like a toddler) in my hands. 

We have an older ergo metro and it recline multiple settings. I think it's important that they recline totally flat (which it does) especially if you have a younger baby in it as they will likely sleep. I actually find it doesn't sit up as straight as I would like (a complaint I have about many travel strollers) but that wouldn't be a huge issue if you have a young baby using it. 

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!

I ended up selling my ergo baby metro plus because it ended up being so clunky and the canopy clicked so loud when you put it out that it would wake up my sleeping baby! I sold it and bought the nuna trvl, sometimes you can find it on a good sale or marketplace!

We like our ergobaby metro + It fits in the airplane overhead compartments, has a nice sunshade, and it fully reclines if baby falls asleep in it.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
