The best travel stroller: Ergobaby Metro+ vs. Metro 3

So what can our new Metro 3 do and what makes it the best travel stroller? As its name suggests, the Metro 3 is based on its predecessor, the Metro+. After all, parents across the world have already been very satisfied with our ultra-light and compact stroller. But we wouldn't be Ergobaby if we weren't always striving for something better. And that's what the Metro 3 is: better. Better in comfort, better in usability, better in storage space and better in accessories. 

Especially when travelling, but also in everyday life - when shopping, on the way to nursery or the playground - it is important that a stroller like this is easy to use. That's why the Metro 3, with its even more compact dimensions (now just 56 x 44 x 23cm when folded) and low weight (7.6kg), is ideal for taking with you wherever you go. It is smooth-running and equipped with a super-smooth CushionRide™ suspension system, so that even uneven roads are no problem. It can be unfolded and folded with just one hand - while you are still carrying your child in your arms. The brand new (super smart) mechanism means it folds almost automatically at the touch of a button! Then, when it’s folded, it fits in almost any car boot and also in the luggage compartments of most trains and aeroplanes. The ideal piece of hand luggage. So it's easier to use than ever before.

Travel buggy with maximum comfort & recline function

The seat of the Ergobaby Metro 3 is of course ergonomic and super comfortable thanks to its extra thick padding, which you already know from previous Metro models. However, the new Metro 3 has an even more spacious seat, so that your little one has more room than in other comparable travel strollers on the market (based on surface area vs. leading ultra-compact strollers, Circana Data, March 2024). Our Metro 3 also reclines: if your little one gets tired, the backrest can be easily tilted backwards with one hand so that your child can sleep in an almost flat position. The roomy footrest can also be folded up to extend the lying surface even further. From this position you can also convert it for your newborn (0-6 months). Simply use the cleverly hidden, integrated flaps in the footrest and create a cosy newborn nest in which your little one will feel safe and secure from day one. The mesh insert on the back of the stroller can be utilised to ensure air circulation. Another option for pushing your newborn around in the Metro 3 is a car seat, which you can simply attach using the separately available adapters. Not only are these easier to attach to the Metro 3 compared to its predecessor, it is also compatible with even more car seat brands and the stroller can be folded in with the adapters on. Plus, you don’t need to remove the seat to fit the adapters, making it even more flexible and perfect to take with you in the car. 

Ideal Metro 3 travel buggy - equipped for wind and weather 

The Metro 3 wouldn't be an ideal travel stroller if it wasn't prepared for all weather conditions. Thankfully, a large, extendable sun canopy - available in six stylish colours (separately available) - guarantees that your little one is protected from the sun at any time of day. You can swap them in and out to match the colour to your mood (or outfit!) and let your buggy shine in new colours. There’s also a viewing window into the sun canopy so that you can keep an eye on your little treasures. Included in the box is a wind and rain cover to keep your little love dry in even the heaviest downpours, and a brand new bug net is available separately. Speaking of protection: to ensure that your baby sits safely in their buggy, there is a well-padded 5-point harness and a removable safety bar (available separately).  

Comfort for parent and child 

The additional ergonomic comfort of the Metro 3 doesn't just apply to your little one. The person pushing also benefits in this new Metro edition. This is because the angle of the handlebar can be adjusted to your height and preference - at the touch of a button. The new stylish design also offers enough space for different stride lengths. What's more, parents don’t need to carry a bag or rucksack, as the storage basket under the pushchair now offers even more storage space (max. 10 kg) and the zippered pocket  on the backrest has plenty of room for essentials. 

Even more accessories available 

We have already introduced you to a few accessories, such as the included rain cover as well as the separately available car seat adapter, sun canopy, bug net and safety bar, and of course the accessories parents loved most from our Metro+, such as the footmuff, the carry bag and the cup holder, have been added to the Metro 3 range too. And there’s one more new accessory we haven’t mentioned yet. There is now a snack tray for the Metro 3 that you can attach instead of the support bar. Your little one can place snacks or drinks on it and always have them to hand. 

So, have we convinced you? We think it ticks all the boxes: comfortable, ergonomic, plenty of space, clever features, easy to use, great storage, will last you for years, adjustable for different users, loads of accessory options, the list goes on! And all in such a lightweight, compact package! It was not for nothing that we claim that the Metro 3 is the best travel stroller in the world. Whether you’re using it in everyday life or travelling across every continent - wherever you go, the Metro 3 will be a loyal and comfortable companion for you and your little one for many years to come. And now, we’re backing this up with our ErgoPromise Lifetime Guarantee. If there are any material or manufacturing defects, we’ll replace either the affected part or the entire stroller. This means you’re covered for life with the Metro 3, ensuring it supports you and your little one safely and comfortably, whenever you need it.
