“Improved fold and side brake compared to previous Metro models”

7.2

Solid Choice

The Ergobaby Metro 3 stroller has addressed some key complaints about earlier Metro models, with a smoother folding mechanism and more accessible side brake. Parents appreciate the spacious basket, padded seat, and large canopy. However, many still struggle with the recline function, finding it difficult to fold back up. While an upgrade from past versions, the Metro 3 has some lingering usability issues that prevent it from being a universal favourite.

What parents love

Smooth ManeuverabilityParents report the Metro 3 glides easily over uneven terrain and the wheels no longer wobble like previous models.

Generous StorageThe large, accessible basket under the seat provides ample space for essentials, with an additional zippered pocket for small items.

Comfortable SeatThe well-padded seat is removable for easy cleaning, and the sturdy footrest is appreciated.

Worth knowing

Recline StrugglesMany parents report major difficulties folding the recline back up, requiring significant force that they wouldn't want to attempt with a child in the stroller.

Upright Seat PositionSome feel the seat doesn't recline upright enough, especially without the optional bumper bar.

Bulky FoldWhile improved, the Metro 3's folded size may still be too large for some compact car boots or overhead airline bins, especially in Europe.

Best for

Families looking for a compact, full-featured stroller with a flat recline for newborns
Urban parents who need to navigate crowded city streets and public transport

May not suit

Parents who frequently need to fold and unfold the stroller, due to the recline mechanism issues
Families with limited boot space in their cars

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Test the recline function thoroughly in-store to ensure it works smoothly for your needs.

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the side brake when the stroller is reclined to avoid accidentally disengaging it.

Safety Note

Don't attempt to fold the recline with a child in the stroller, as the significant force required could be dangerous.
