"What I love most about the Metro+ is the extendable handlebar and the design without a straight-across rear axel. ... If you or your partner are tall, or just ever have issues kicking the stroller when you walk, you will definitely have those issues at Disney, especially when you walk quickly, and this is the only travel stroller I’ve tried that makes it so I can’t kick the stroller."


"has extendable handle. As a tall person, this is the best bit."


"the Ergobaby handlebar is adjustable which is great if one parent is taller etc."

"I really like the fact that baby can lie down flat, it's been useful for diaper changes and naps on the go."


"lays fully flat and you can adjust the positioning, great for diaper changes on the go if theres no change tables around"


"I LOVE that it folds completely flat so my LO used to nap in it comfortably."

"it has been basically offroading and doing cobblestone streets daily. it is a beast. ... we have TESTED this thing - and it's amazing."


"I wanted something that would hold up to the cobblestone/ uneven sidewalks ... Knowing that it's held up when pushing in ice and snow this winter gives me confidence it'll hold up for our European trip in September."

"Basket is fairly small, so we tend to keep our diaper bag clipped to the handle, and since the stroller is so lightweight, it will tip over if we take our kid out when the backpack is still there."

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?

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

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.

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.

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 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.

We have the ergo baby metro plus and love it! It lays flat so you can start using it from birth without the car seat! But you can get an adapter if you want the car seat too.

I like my travel stroller from ergo baby (metro+). I had a super nice Graco one but it was bulky and sucked to get in my car. The metro fits in an overhead bin and is a smooth ride. I wish I got the cup holder though. Also, I recommend a wagon when your baby is a toddler.
