Ergobaby Metro3 All-in-One Compact Stroller

I bought this for my daughter, who used it yesterday for the first time with my grandson. POSITIVES: She loves how light it is and how easy it is to open/close. All the vents are amazing to ensure air flow. POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS: Would be great if the handle bar could be moved back and forth so that you can have the baby facing forward or facing you while moving. This is a BIG ISSUE for her as he's still small and should be facing his mommy while in the stroller. This issue may make her return it. I didn't realize that when I ordered it. Also, she wishes the storage bin was larger; makes it difficult to place her baby bag (a back pack) in the bin; she had to carry it the whole time while at the park. She also said that because my grandson is below 20 pounds, it's easy to "pop a wheelie," if you're not careful. Otherwise loves it. I ordered a couple more accessories so am hoping she decides to keep it!

This is honestly the nicest compact stroller I have ever had! I just wish there was an attachment I could buy to hold my drink while we walk

We originally bought this to use as a travel stroller when flying, but it’s quickly become our out and about stroller because it is lightweight and my 5 month old loves it. It’s very sturdy, and we love the gigantic canopy and the ability to lay the seat flat so she can nap. Sometimes the mechanism for dropping the seat can stick, but my kiddo doesn’t seem to care at all. Highly recommend!

As far as folding, carrying and pushing this stroller is amazing. It pushes amazingly even compared to my very expensive stroller. It folds nicely and is the handle is great for carrying. The downfall is it is awful to unfold!! It definitely takes me two hands and a leg to unfold(yes I’m doing it right). The buttons to push are so hard and the long one never engages correctly. If you get past that it’s a great stroller.

It's a nice stroller, but it's not easy to use. It takes two hands to open and collapse down. The buttons stick and the handle is so wide that I can't do both mechanisms with one hand. Materials are nice, it's just not as easy to use as advertised.

The stroller is great however the attachments are not compatible with the Chico car seat which was already purchased based on the previous attachment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this travel stroller. First of all, it folds and unfolds so easily, and the carry handle is the best feature. I have another larger travel system and I really dislike having to add all the attachments and seats, so for me being able to pick up and carry around this stroller all on my own is a huge perk. It doesn’t take up your entire trunk either! The materials of this stroller are so nice. The leather handle is soft to hold on to, and the seat material is probably the highest quality I’ve seen on any stroller. Both my 10 month old and my 3 year old sit comfortably in it. The seat is so roomy which is great for my toddler, but my baby also likes it because he has room for toys to sit beside him! The buckle is very easy to adjust back and forth between sizes for multiple kids. The sunshade can extend very far down which is great for naps, and I can recline the seat easily without waking up my baby. What I like the most is how smooth this stroller pushes, and how narrow the back wheels are. I also really like that the pedal to lock the wheels show as red when they are locked. It makes it so easy to see by a glance whether they are locked or not. We’ve used this stroller quite a bit already and home and are planning to take it with us to Disneyland in the spring. I know it will make our trip so much easier! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving us this stroller to try out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel (thank you!) and immediately loved how quick and easy it was to open right out of the box. Even closing it could be done with one hand which is key when holding a toddler with the other. It folds up pretty compact and we are easily able to tuck it away in a corner of our apartment without feeling like it’s getting in the way. It also fits in the trunk of our car with plenty of room to spare. At 16.9 pounds, it’s lightweight and easy to carry. I would have loved if it had a shoulder strap but it’s not a deal breaker as it does have a handle. The stroller comes in a sleek black color with enough padding to keep my son super comfortable for extended walks. It also has a sun shade that comes down very low to really protect my toddler during inclement weather and intense sun. The shade has a mesh vent flap to allow for air circulation and so you can easily keep an eye out on your child in the stroller as well. When at a museum recently, my two year old fell asleep and we were able to conveniently put him in a fully reclined position in the stroller which spared us from having to carry him the entire time. The undercarriage also has enough space to hold groceries, a child’s backpack, and then some. The maneuverability was also very smooth which is key when walking on bumpy city sidewalks. Ergobaby is a trusted brand and I’ve used their baby carrier in the past as well. Overall would highly recommend this stroller as it’s the perfect size for city living and travel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it is great! I have an (almost) 18 month old baby that loves rides around the neighborhood and park. This stroller is compact, lightweight, and has a sleek, minimalist design. The fabric is soft and my toddler seemed very comfortable during her rides. The flat recline feature has been great on long walks that always seem to put her to sleep, and the extendable sunshade has protected her eyes and face on our afternoon walks in the neighborhood. The best feature of the Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller is that it is extremely compact when folded (which is a breeze to do with the one-hand fold feature!) but it is still a full size stroller with plenty of room in the storage basket. Juggling three small children, a stroller, and a few items from the store is often a challenge, but I have been so impressed with how easy it is to fold and unfold this stroller - I no longer look like I am fighting a bear in the store parking lot. I am also still amazed every time we use the stroller at how lightweight it is. We travel often by car, but as a family of five, we pack a lot in our vehicle for trips. In the past we have struggled to find room for our strollers because they have always been big and bulky. The Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller is so incredibly compact - we have no problem finding space for it in our vehicle. We have used this stroller so many times and I have yet to find something that I don’t like. The wheels have been fantastic on many different types of terrain and it provides such a smooth ride. I have found my new favorite stroller. This really is a wonderful stroller and great for families needing a compact, lightweight, full size stroller. This is a stroller that won’t feel like a chore to take out for errands or trips - it will make your life so much easier (and your baby happy). Thanks again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller to try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of an 8-month-old and a 2.5-year-old, I’ve gone through my fair share of strollers – we currently own four! This stroller has become our go-to for travel and keeping in the car, and I can’t recommend it enough. The biggest selling point is how lightweight and compact it is when folded. It’s easy to fit in the truck of my car while still leaving room for other items. Despite its small size, it still manages to pack in a lot of features for the comfort of both kids and parents. My favorite feature is the extra-large sunshade. The sunshade provides better coverage than most full-size strollers and is more sun coverage than any other travel stroller that I’ve seen. Another feature is the height-adjustable handle. As a shorter mom, this stroller adjusts perfectly, making it comfortable to push for hours without straining my back. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am very grateful I did. I was on the fence about the need for a compact stroller to use when we travel and this stroller has convinced me it is a necessity not only for travel but also for regular daily use. The one handed fold feature is definitely clutch for when I am alone with the baby. I can have the baby in one hand and easily open the stroller with the other. My favorite features of the Ergobaby Metro 3 are the extendable sunshade (as it provides extra shade and coverage for the baby) and the ability to fully recline the seat. Not only can the seat fully recline but you can also turn the seat into a bassinet allowing the baby to rest (fyi it is very easy to fully recline and lift the seat back up and it is also easy to set up and tear down the bassinet). There is also a peep through window in the back while the seat is fully reclined so you can constantly see your baby as you push the stroller. I love this because I always want to be able to see that my baby is okay. The stroller also folds down well so i can easily fit it in the hatchback trunk of the car. With all the baby gear we have acquired since having the baby storage space in the house is now running low, but fortunately the Metro 3 is so compact I was able to find a small space between the couch and the wall to store it. I have enjoyed using the Metro 3 with my 4 month old so far on errands and look forward to all the adventures we will be able to have in the future as we travel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this stroller and the ease of design for an on-the-go mom like myself. My favorite way to store this stroller is in my car. I never leave the house without it. I keep this stroller in the back of my van for everyday use. It’s compact, barely takes up space, and allows me to store other mommy things! It did take a small learning curve to open, but now that I have the hang of it it’s a quick movement and I’m ready to be on my way. A huge positive was the one-handed fold when it was time to pack up. The ease of getting it ready to run an errand or simply go for a walk is unmatched. I even enjoyed the mobility of the wheels and the all-terrain feel they have while strolling with my mommy walk friends. They even commented on how luxurious it looked and the smooth ride it seemed to have. I can't wait to take this on trips when traveling too because of the quick fold and compact ability. With this stroller, I never questioned if my child was comfortable because of the lovely padding and flat recline options. Perfect for in a pinch need when my toddler needs a rest. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me the opportunity to try such a great compact and versatile stroller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is one particular feature of this stroller that far exceeds that of its competitor models, the canopy on this stroller has so much depth and coverage!! Not only does it block out wind and sun completely if desired, it actually stays put when you pull back the canopy just halfway. It also has a magnetic peekaboo panel to check on your LO or give them extra ventilation. The second feature I really appreciate is the luxurious feel and padding including the comfort of the straps for my LO. The harness has shoulder padding that actually wraps around my LO's shoulder and doesnt slide off the harness every time I unbuckle it. The padding is comfortable enough that my LO seems to enjoy the ride even more, that may also speak to the suspension on this stroller. I also appreciated the versatility of this stroller, how flat it reclines to form a makeshift bassinet. It's easy to modify between a 1 yo and 1 month old! The only gripe I had with the reclining function is that when I pull the strap to sit the seat back up, there is a part that 8/10 times gets stuck somewhere. I have to physically move some fabric out of the way so that the seat fully comes back up. My 1 yo is taller and the canopy provides sufficient clearance for him and I expect it'll continue to as he grows. The legrest also moves to angles that he seems to find comfortable. The one hand fold unfold feature is pretty awesome but I'm not going to lie, it takes practice. The first several times, I couldn't figure out why once the stroller opened up, it wouldn't lock into place. I think over time my husband and I figured it out, but it wasn't really a one hand feature every time. I don't love the brake step lock. It works well but when you have to release the brake, you have to use your foot to lift the lever back up hard. You get used to it though. It's not a step lever like you have on some other strollers. This stroller is by far the most luxurious and versatile compact stroller I've used between different baby toddler stages. It's not the lightest stroller on the market to travel with, but it's also the one I'd choose to take if I knew my LO would be sitting in it for longer periods of time because it's so well padded and again that canopy blocks out so much sun and wind. I haven't taken it on a flight yet, but will be doing so in a few months and I look forward to it. I think it should be pretty smooth to take it on board and get into the overhead bin but we'll see. In the meantime it stands so nicely in the closet, a corner of a room, in the car trunk, wherever I need it to be. The wheels also sort of lock into place so it stays neat and doesn't topple over. It doesn't come with a stroller bar for my LO to hold onto and I thought he'd hate that but it didnt seem to bother him much. Maybe he find this stroller seat more comfortable and secure where he doesnt feel the need to grab a bar, not sure. I sort of missed having one though. Thats usually what I grab to lift up folded strollers to stow in my car, and without that bar, I'm not really sure where to lift the stroller when trying to one hand it. My husband and I have a pretty big height difference, but the adjustable handlebar made it a convenient push for us both. We also noted that this stroller feels more stable when we have to get it up and down a curb. The undercarriage is spacious enough, but the opening is a little small in the back so if you want to get your diaper bag in there, you're better off loading it in from the front. I wish the stroller would come with a snack tray, parent cup/phone holder, and a travel bag for the stroller, but it looks like those are accessories you can purchase separately. All in all, a truly versatile stroller that keeps luxury features and lightweightedness in balance. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. One of my favorite things about this stroller is how smooth it feels while pushing. It's very easy to maneuver, even in crowded spaces. I also loved how sleek the stroller looked and all the features felt well made and high-quality. The padded seat in particular seems especially comfortable for my little one to sit in for extended amount of time. One major flaw I found with this stroller was that it was very difficult to open. The mechanism requires holding a button with your thumb while gripping the handle and applying a lot of upward force. As someone who isn't very tall, I struggled with this process because it felt like I had to almost raise my arms above shoulder level to get the stroller to lock in place. On the other hand, folding it down was very easy, and I was surprised by how compact it became when it was folder. The brakes were another minor detail that made the stroller a little cumbersome. To disengage the brake, you have to lift the stiff brake pedal up with your foot. As someone who usually wears sandals, this was pretty hard to do. Overall, I really enjoyed this stroller and my little one had no trouble being in it for extended amount of time. But I am unsure how often I can use it on my own since it is so difficult to open for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I received this stroller as part of the Stellar Testing Panel. The stroller itself was actually a little bigger/heavier than I initially expected but in a good way. It was still lightweight but it had a feeling of quality with how sturdy it felt. It has been convenient to take in and out of the car with the attached handle. The true one hand fold has been one of the best things about this stroller. It allows me to carry my toddler and still have the ability to open or close the stroller as needed. Having a car withe a smaller trunk, the compact fold of the stroller definitely allows for better usage of my trunk. My one wish was that it would fold up just slightly more compact as I am unsure if this would pass in all air cabin bins. Even though the stroller is meant to be compact it does not sacrifice storage space in the under carriage which I think is the most practical aspect about the stroller. The under carriage is also easily accessible and holds up to a little over 20lbs which is amazing to carry all the stuff that you need (i.e. groceries, backpack, blankets, jackets, etc). Another thing that I loved was the near flat recline of the stroller. The seat itself is padded which gives alot of comfort to the kids already and combining it with the near flat recline makes stroller napping a game changer. My child loved sitting in the stroller and the extendable canopy makes going out in the sun easier as it provides a good amount of coverage. The one thing I think could improve would be the brake button is a little hard to disengage but other than that this stroller checks off all the boxes for a compact all around stroller. It has all wheel suspension to make strolls smooth, large canopy to protect from the sun, lay flat seating for wide range of birth-toddler, large under carriage storage, one hand fold, lightweight, and easy to push. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that does not want a bigger stroller for their everyday needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic luxury compact stroller that is everything it is advertised to be. It is so convenient being able to fold and unfold it with one hand. You do have to yank it upwards to get it to lock when unfolding it, but it really can be done without much effort while holding a child in your other arm. Then there is a convenient handle in the middle when it is folded up to make it easy to just pick up and carry or put into your car. My favorite thing about this stroller is how little space it takes up in my car. My old stroller took up almost my entire trunk space, but this one fits comfortably on the floor behind the driver seat, leaving my trunk space open for groceries or transporting other large items. It could easily fit into the trunk of a small car too. It also feels like a luxury stroller because of how smoothly it pushes around, with the added bonus of suspension in the front wheels. When it came time for my first outing with the stroller, I was happy that the straps were easy to adjust and saw that the seat cover was attached with velcro which means it's easy to take off in the event of a blowout or mess. My daughter seemed comfortable riding in the stroller. The seat was roomy, not cramped, and the lay flat feature will be nice for when she naps on the go. The seat adjusts with a pull string system so I could easily adjust it to any angle I wanted instead of being forced into preset positions. The sunshade also comes down pretty far to shade her face and feels nice quality. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. I have tried other “travel” strollers and this one is hands-down the best. We fly quite a bit with our now 14-month old son and I’m usually navigating airport waiting areas with our luggage while my husband grabs the rental car. So my number one priority in a travel stroller is being able to comfortably steer the stroller with only one hand and the Ergobaby Metro 3 was the best I’ve seen! It’s easy to unfold with one hand (although I sometimes use my knee provide a little support with the final locking position). I like that the handle has two height options because I’m 5’2” and my husband is 6’. The canopy is big but also expands even more to protect most of my little guy from the sun/weather. He hasn’t slept in the stroller yet but I’m excited for this option since the seat reclines nearly all the way! One of the coolest features of this stroller are the strap adjusters. Instead of the traditional strap adjusting that requires two hands and my fingers getting pinched, the Ergobaby Metro 3 has more of a backpack strap style adjustment so straps are fast and easy to adjust with just one hand. This would be a big convenience if you have more than one kid using the stroller because you can fit the straps to the individual child without any fuss. It’s amazing! The brake is easy and makes sense. I haven’t actually used the storage basket yet but it looks large and easily accessible. As for the compact size of the stroller when folded up, I love it! We’re flying later this week and I’m excited to be able to put the stroller in the overhead bin so it’s close by and we don’t have to worry about it being damaged. Overall, this is an incredible stroller. Period!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. It arrived just in time for my upcoming international trip to Japan, and it’s truly perfect. As a busy mom of three boys, I was searching for a stroller that had both convenience and comfort, and this one ticks all the boxes. The compact design is perfect for travel, and the one-handed fold feature is a lifesaver when I’m juggling the kids. So easy, and it’s super lightweight. Living in Florida, I really appreciate the generous sunshade, which keeps my baby protected from the sun. It has a thoughtful design with a mini paper-weight feature to keep the sunshade flap down so I can easily check on him without disturbing him. Little touches like this make a huge difference. The glide of the stroller is so smooth, my son absolutely loves it. He’s usually not a fan of his car seat since he’s strapped in, but in this stroller, he climbs right in without a fuss. The adjustable foot rest…top tier! He’s so comfortable with his feet kicked up, like a true king in his own little throne. The padding is soft and cozy, and I know he loves this stroller. The storage underneath is just the right size—large enough for essentials, like a diaper bag. Plus, the near-flat recline has been perfect when we go on walks since he tends to nap during them. Overall, the one-handed fold, smooth ride, and thoughtful features make this stroller an amazing choice for busy parents. I couldn’t be happier with this stroller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller has been a game-changer for my daily outings! I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Its compact and lightweight design makes it incredibly easy to maneuver, whether I’m navigating busy food store aisles or traveling. One moment that really stood out was in the airport—I was able to weave through the crowd effortlessly and quickly fold it up when we stopped at security. The one-hand fold feature is a lifesaver! Whether I’m juggling grocery bags or holding my child, being able to collapse the stroller with one hand makes transitions seamless. It’s been especially helpful when getting in and out of the car or handling airport security with ease. For storage, I love that the Metro 3 fits neatly into my trunk, leaving plenty of space for other essentials. It’s also compact enough to fit in an overhead bin on planes, making it perfect for travel. As for comfort, this stroller truly delivers! The roomy and padded seat, flat recline, and extendable sunshade make sure my little one stays cozy, whether it’s a short stroll or a long nap on the go. My child always seems relaxed and comfortable, even on longer outings. Overall, the Ergobaby Metro 3 combines convenience, comfort, and portability in a way that makes everyday adventures so much easier. Highly recommend it for parents looking for a travel-friendly stroller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. This stroller has an amazingly compact design. At first glance of the box, I thought to myself how do they fit a stroller in there! The size of this stroller allows for more shopping & errands to get completed. I don’t have the largest trunk available and having a stroller that folds up to the size of a small luggage item allows me to stop more places and still have the room in my trunk for items/groceries. This stroller has seen a couple outings and so far, the design and flexibility of the Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller has really showed me the strengths of great stroller. This stroller has a nice one hand fold feature, it allows me to hold my child when getting ready to head into a store; pull the Ergobaby Metro 3 Stroller out of my trunk easily and unfold and go! It’s very impressive how little effort it takes to fold and unfold this stroller. So far, we have only taken locally to stores and it has really shown its amazing true colors, but I feel this stroller will really shine for vacations and airports. I can picture it now, strolling to the gate my son in the comfy padded seat or even reclined back and taking a preflight snooze, our bag securely clipped around ergonomic handle, and before boarding remove our bag and child and quickly fold it up. While on our luxurious vacation, we would maybe be out for prolonged hours, and we would have the ability to quickly pull down a sunshade and then recline my son for an on the go nap. The padding of this seat seems to be of great quality and my son has not fussed or seemed uncomfortable by either the seats or the straps. The adjustable leg platform allows us to increase comfortability if nap time happens on the go. We have found the wheel lock is a very nice click and is very secure. The basket on the bottom is a generous size considering the space that this stroller folds to. We highly recommend this stroller for any on the go families!
