Ergobaby - Ergobaby Metro+ Deluxe Compact Stroller

We have the metro + and I love many things about it… except that it is slightly harder to fold than many other travel strollers & it doesn’t have an easy carry strap or great way to grab it. We haven’t taken it on a trip yet but I think we will keep it as a stroller to keep in the car (and let our Nuna mixx be our daily neighborhood walk stroller that stays in the garage) but will look at other travel options.

Another vote for the Ergobaby Metro+ (we got the Deluxe). We got the travel bag/backpack for it too which was really convenient for the airport! Also, Ergobaby will give you 15% off if you sign up for the newsletter so if you stack it with a sale it’s a pretty great deal. Our travel stroller has become our running around stroller and it’s wonderful, no regrets!

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.

This exactly. Also the whole point for us was to have a compact travel stroller and the deluxe seemed a bit too much and more of what people would use as a primary stroller. Also I think if you're going to spend the deluxe price there might be a better one out there for you (like babyzen, joolz aer, etc.)

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 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.

Ergobaby Metro+, the recline is best I've seen for a travel stroller and fits in the overhead. Recently amazon had the Ergobaby Metro+ Deluxe on sale for $220 which was a a great deal

We used the doona during infancy and plan to do the same with second baby coming. But for travel/easy folding/compact, we have the ergobaby delux stroller. It’s sooo easy to fold, has a newborn setting, and can be used up to 45 pounds. The cargo space underneath has the capability of enlarging for more items. We take it everywhere now, and even took it to Hawaii which fit easily in the overhead compartment of the plane.

I seem to love it too!!! The unfold is the hard part though. The only diff between the + and the deluxe is materials and the deluxe comes with the bumper bar and cup holder. Also 20% extra storage underneath.

I bought the metro plus deluxe and I really loved it for the price, quality, sunshade, lie flat feature, adjustable handle, and belly bar. It was great. Howeverrrr I still returned it bc I am a die hard uppababy fan and I can’t help but want to try out the minu 3 before making my final decision. I sometimes regret returning the metro but I remind myself that I can always buy it again later if I want it back. It really is a great stroller - the only drawback I found that could be a little annoying is the unfold. Compared to others it has a bit of an extra step which I thought was cumbersome. It’s not difficult by any means though.

Just flew to Ireland and back with the ergobaby Metro plus. Fit easily! I would recommend this stroller to everyone! We bought it for my trip and I never want to use my nuna again lol. I love the metro+ so much.

Ergobaby Metro plus. It's amazing! We just did Ireland with it.

Hi! Just got back from a ten day Europe trip with the Metro plus. I bought the bumper bar so I could attach her toys to it. Very useful! I got a $12 rain cover on Amazon. The basket size is the only downside. It couldn't fit my fully packed diaper backpack, but we didn't mind wearing it so not really an issue. I've been back a few weeks and I prefer it over my nuna now! The small size and weight is wonderful.

That's a good price, I'd just get the deluxe!

I've got two! Nuna Mixx. We have a Nuna car seat so it snaps on, we also had the bassinet attachment which was great when she was little. Folds easy, fits in my car trunk no problem. We went on a ten day trip and ended up buying a travel stroller. We got the ergobaby Metro plus and it's now my favourite. Haven't touched my nuna since we've been back. Lays completely flat and she slept like a rock in it when we were out and about.

I second this. I looooove my Metro plus. We just did ten days in Ireland with it. Since we've been back, I haven't touched my nuna, I've been using the ergobaby everyday. So much lighter. I have a 9 month old and she slept like a rock in it when we were out and about. I did buy the bumper bar so I could attach her toys. And the cup holder, I just took my universal one off my other stroller.

I have a Nuna mixx. I got it used and bought a bassinet for it. Absolutely phenomenal when she was tiny. The bassinet was the greatest thing. Now I use an Ergo baby Metro plus travel stroller. We got it for our trip but I love it so much it's now my day to day stroller.

I have a Nuna...it's great but we got a ergobaby Metro + for travel and I haven't touched my nuna in months. It's my favourite thing ever. Folds up so small, it's light, lays flat for her to nap in, huge sunshade. Only downside is basket is small.

I have the ergobaby Metro plus and I have completely stopped using my nuna. It's amazing. Folds up so compact, lays flat, sturdy. We took it to Ireland a few months ago and it was amazing for our trip. Only downside is that the basket is pretty small.

I have nuna mixx stroller and the bucket car seat (well we've switch to a convertible one now because she's 13 months) and got the bassinet for it. Pros: folds flat and fit in my Jetta trunk no problem, easy maneuverability, rumble seat cover comes off to wash Cons: rumble seat doesn't go totally flat Bassinet: amazing all around, great sunshade, easy to wash, we used it as a portable crib for the first few months when we went to our trailer etc. Travel stroller: ergo baby metro+ Pros: this is now my everyday, it's so light, folds up so small, has a lay flat seat my daughter will sleep no problem in, huge sunshade Cons: can't really use it on a trail/gravel roads etc

Ergobaby Metro plus. It's amazing. Lays flat, the foot rest goes right up so it's like a bassinet. Folds easy and so small. We got one for a trip to Ireland and I prefer it over my nuna and it's all I've used since we bought it.

Echoing this! I got one for our trip to Mexico this last week. The seat seems really comfy, nice padded straps, very versatile and moves well. I got the Metro deluxe :)

I have an everyday stroller (evenflo pivot xpand) for mall/walks/etc. it’s good and will last for the toddler years and second/third kids etc. I like that there’s the option to use the bucket or the bassinet/toddler seat I have a travel one (Ergobaby metro) that supposedly fits in the overhead bin but I don’t like to do that, so I just check it at the gate. We also got a second hand running stroller cause my husband runs and wants to go with baby. That all said, we have a garage to store all these things. If you’re limited on space I’d forgo the running one and get an everyday one you can also run with

I have the Metro+ Deluxe, but haven't flown with it. It would definitely fit in the overhead overhead. 

I was stalking these strollers a bunch during Boxing Week (went with the Metro+ Deluxe in the end), and the best sales I found were $100 off. So I'd be surprised if you found a better deal, except maybe for Black Friday.

Another vote for the metro. Goes completely flat, is rated “from birth” and folds up very small. The deluxe version was worth it to me for the bigger basket. We got it for the baby but our tall 4 year old can actually still fit.
