Ergobaby Metro 3 All in One Compact Baby Stroller, Lightweight Travel Stroller, Easy One-Hand Fold for Overhead Airplane Storage (Carries up to 50 lbs), Car Seat Compatible, Onyx Black

Love love love!!!! I was between two strollers the Uppa baby minu 3 and this for our upcoming 6 week trip to Spain. We will be living our day to day there so I didn’t want a Cybex or Gp pocket which could have been good for my tall daughter. Also traveling alone with 2 kids didn’t want to deal with the way those strollers folded. In the end I couldn’t justify spending $549 on a stroller so I went with the Ergobaby Metro 3. It was still a lot more than I wanted to spend on a stroller in general but just what had to be done for what I was looking for. I needed something that had a tall back so my 3 year old who is 42 inches tall could get it in sometimes if tired while my 1 year old is in the carrier. Needed something that sat a bit more upright. My son likes to sit upright in our other strollers but they aren’t so he leans forward. Has a big enough basket for our supermarket runs, all the things we need for the park including stuffing a scooter under, blankets, balls, water bottles, etc…Summer in Spain is also brutal. Hot sun! Large extended canopy is a plus! When I got the stroller I didn’t really like the tiny strap on the seat to hold the stroller. It looks like over time it could become too worn or break from the load. The shoulder strap on the Uppababy almost made me lean in their direction. Anyways I bought a scooter strap(Wildken Rhinowal $17.99) and while the stroller itself has a bulkier fold it’s now as good as the Uppa and way less money even with the purchase of the strap. Once set up the strap isn’t really in the way at all. Definitely carrying on the shoulder makes the stroller feel lighter and frees up your hand! For all you parents who have a tall toddler this stroller is great. My daughter’s legs don’t look awkward at all in the stroller. The foot rest is nice and wide. Ergonomically seems like a very comfortable stroller for both my son and my daughter. The quality of the material has a premium feel to it as well. The near flat recline is a plus. I don’t really care about this feature. We have survived without it no problem. Overall stroller is a great investment. I can continue to use for a few more years with my toddler and if I have another baby. Also for these infamous Disney trip stroller requirements people keep talking about when we go to Disney in the future. I’m super satisfied. My only cons: The bar in the back where the basket is. Could prevent larger bags from easily going under the bar. But you could put bags in from the front with the foot rest up. Bulkier- A bit concerned they won’t let me try to put in the overhead bin taking one look at it. It looks a bit bulkier in person side by side with a carry on suitcase. The carry handle in the seat. The one handed fold and open took a bit to get used to. More so the opening and getting it to really pop out and stay. It was sticking at first and not fully extending into the locked position. That has since resolved though as you can see in the video.

Amazing value stroller! I've spent weeks researching strollers online, watching every single video review, and trying them out in person and I kept coming back to the Metro 3. I love the full flat recline, upright seatback, bassinet mode, adjustable handle height, deep canopy coverage that wasn’t too close to the face, magnetic peek-a-boo windows, great quality materials and cushioning, and easy to carry handle. The fold can be finicky, but the fold is really one hand and the stroller self-stands. Many more expensive strollers tend to tilt away from you when you fold them. What I needed: - Tall backrest - Easy enough fold - Adjustable handle height - Lay flat option - Very upright seatback Other strollers I considered: - Uppababy Minu 3. The seatback wasn't upright enough and for the price, I wasn't getting any more features. The fold wasn't the smoothest anyway, plus it folds away from you so you have to catch it with your other hand. Once folded, there's no good way to hold it except with the shoulder strap (too-long to use to put into the car) or with the stroller handle which feels unbalanced. - Bugaboo Butterfly 2. This one had a great fold (although it does tilt away from you when you fold it), but the seat is so reclined that my baby would be lifting her head all the time. Also, the seatback is not reclined enough for a comfortable nap. - Joolz Aer+. Loved the weight and size of this, bu the seat recline zipper is too finicky. Also didn't like that you have to insert 5 harness pieces every time. - Inglesina Quid 3. This was similar to the Metro, but felt higher quality, but was not much better to justify the price. The harness needs to be rethreaded. - Guzzie + Guzz Oxygen v2. This had the best fold and unfold of any stroller we tried and it worked like butter every time. This was surprising because it was half the price of everything else. We would’ve bought this stroller, but the seatback height was too short and the stroller itself felt too narrow. Loved the magnetic buckle and ventilation is similar to the Metro 3 on this one. - Peg Perego Selfit. This stroller was on par with the Guzzie+Guss with the best fold/unfold experience, but the canopy was too shallow for us. Improvements: - Magnetic harness strap - Include some accessories (even a bumper bar would be nice) - Easier fold/unfold that doesn’t “catch”. Sometimes the fold button gets stuck so to fold, a trick is to not lift up on the handlebar, which puts tension on folding system. Also, when unfolding, press the button before trying to lift the handle unfold the stroller. Also, it helps when unfolding to get the front and back axles apart as they tend to want to stay locked together. - Wider back wheelbase so it doesn’t feel so tippy (although many travel strollers feel tippy and I think I just need to adjust from using a full-size).

Compact and light. Smooth ride -only tried on smooth surfaces so far. Super easy to fold one handed but a little harder to unfold.

This stroller is amazing and easy to fold and light. Ideal for my 3 months old son because it can be put into a laying down position when he sleeps

This is by far the best stroller we have ever had! Currently using it Europe with lots of cobblestones and it works great overall. Yes the wheels gets stuck when there are large gaps but runs very smooth across the majority of the streets (Rome specifically). Easy to fold, very compact and light enough to carry. One of my kids are just over 50lbs and about 47in tall and the stroller fits comfortably. Highly recommend!
