I’ve seen people asking for a Peg Perego Selfie stroller review, I’d love the same. We own a Peg Perego full size stroller, although not perfect, we’ve used it with both of our children and we are very happy with it. Being made in Italy, our expectations are quite high and we were wondering if the Selfie model would live up to its name.. “Selfie” self-folding stroller, I wonder if the mechanism is reliable and the stroller durable…etc. I appreciate your reviews!
I just bought the ergo baby metro plus and when I open it up to standing. The rods in the back detach and the hooks under the seat have to be re attached as well. Is this normal or is mine defective?
The Agio is not easy to get in Norway unfortunately, but we do plan to discuss the model in a manner similar to the way we did the Mockingbird in an upcoming video. Otherwise, if it shows up here, we'll definitely try to get ahold of it for something more in-depth. :)
We haven't seen the Jackey unfortunately. Easywalker can be a bit hit-and-miss, some models I love, others not so much. We have several videos of our favorite ultracompacts (from those we do know well), the most current being this one: czcams.com/video/woIn0_KPHoc/video.html
hello what do you think about the Greentom strollers? The concept seems great ( "the greenest stroller on Planet Earth") but what about the rest? Is it a good quality stroller? thank you so much
I haven't seen any Greentom models yet unfortunately, but I'll certainly check them out if they come to Norway. :) As far as the environment is concerned, a lot of stroller manufacturers these days are pretty good on the production end with using recycled and recyclable materials, but usually less good at providing access to the spare parts and repair services needed to make sure that strollers are passed / sold on, as opposed to getting scrapped. Note that recycling itself emits greenhouse gases, not as bad as what comes from production, but still, a true commitment imo is about making sure that products are re-used for as long as possible. :)
Not really, I think the market was different and the price was lower, so as a result, our review of the original Metro was better too. That being said, if you're looking to get the model, and there's a big price difference between getting either of them new, then I'd probably just go with the original model. :)
@@BarnevognverkstedNo thanks! Actually I'm looking for an used model and the first one is easier to find. But thanks to your reviews I'm essentially looking for the uppababy minu. So hard to find in the used market though, so the Metro is my second option.
I've owned and used the original model almost since it was released. I'm now here because TSA broke the folding mechanism as hinted in the video. Apart from that i would say that the stroller had worked perfectly for us over the years with two kids. I would definitely recommend the original model of you're on a budget!
Would you choose the yoyo over this one? I really liked your review on the older version of metro and would have gotten than but can't find it in the UK. The plus is available and is much cheaper than the yoyo but now that I watched this I'm thinking is yoyo more reliable? Our purpose is primarily travelling. We have nuna demi grow for everyday use and love it!
The Yoyo is still king in my opinion - though due to the high price and the fact that the raincover is no longer included with purchase (and the fact that the changes between the yoyo+ and the yoyo2 aren't really significant), it's one of those that I would first look for on the used market.
Hello, thanks for the detailed review! This helps me make my decision between two compacts, the Ergobaby Metro+ and the Colugo Compact Stroller. Do you have any thoughts on the Colugo Compact Stroller?
The Colugo is cute, but if you're tall, it's going to be a pain. I purchased the Colugo and ultimately had to return it because as a 6' tall woman, I was constantly kicking the break by accident just walking normally.
In your top strollers you mentioned this as one of the top.. in comparison to the qbit+ all city, in its separate video, you were more positive about it compared to this metro...so im wondering why this one you recommend over the qbit+ all city (or cybex beezy..basically the same)
hello, I choose a 2-in-1 stroller, I am from Russia, we have cold snows in our winters, but I don’t know which one to take so that it’s good in summer, and the quality of the roads is very bad, good shock absorption is needed, but it’s also light, since a lot will have to be folded stroller, I like your videos, but which one would you recommend to me, also so that it is reliable! thanks
czcams.com/video/M5DpHsLcYig/video.html I have this stroller. It's worked pretty great so far. If you check out his video for the Uppababy Vista it's almost similar except you have the option of 2 seater with that one
Hi thanks for the detailed review! I live in a city, I’m looking for a lightweight compact stroller I can use for for an everyday stroller. Preferably one that has a flat or almost flat recline and also accepts a car seat and has good maneuverability for a big city with bad roads. My top two that’s decently priced are the #1 ergobaby metro+ (it has a lot of features I like and the removable seat but seeing your video I’m concerned about the wheels and longevity), #2 Baby Jogger city tour 2 (don’t like that the seat isn’t removable and wish the canopy was larger) and #3 mima zigi z3 (very pricy in comparison to the other two). Please I’d love to know your thoughts and recommendations?
Thanks for this review. I have used this one for 7months and it's nothing but nightmare. The folding system is extremely difficult and totally not possible by one hand. The shopping basket is TINY and hard to reach. But the worst is that the wheels eroded very quickly. I haven't had any experience with other small strollers but I really wouldn't recommend this one!
We had the same exact problem with the wheels! We were having the worst time maneuvering the front wheels only to look most closely and see rust was forming around where they connected with the body of the stroller. Total disappointment.
Great review as always. Might make a compact travel stroller, but other than that the complete lack of suspension would completely rule this model out for me. I could swear I left a comment recently under one of your videos on buying recommendations, but it got deleted probably (I heard YT does this these days to random comments). Otherwise I can't think of anything I wrote that would be against any rules? My personal decision would not only depend on looks and function, but also on the ethics of the companies in question. Where do they produce? How do they treat their workers? Are they giving themselves a 'green' image but haul their products around half the world before they're being sold? Do they provide good customer service, even for second-hand models? In a world with fewer and fewer resources these aspects aren't to be neglected. After all, many of the strollers reviewed often cost as much as a used car or more than some people's monthly salary.

Love the measurements
thanks for your great work😃

Very good 😊
Can you please review Summer™ 3Dpac™ CS® Compact, reason: it has single hand compact fold, and it is car seat compatible
What do you recommend for a tall kid who needs a long foot rest? Needing an airplane cabin size stroller. Thank you?
Thanks so much for your review!
Great as always!
Just wondering how it would compare with Baby Jogger City Tour2? Or Yoyo?
Thanks
Glad you liked it. :) We'll be doing those comparisons soon. :)
Which one you recommend between Metro plus, babyzen yoyo 2 and Baby jogger city 2
(No limit on budget)
Hi do you know any suggestions where i can buy just a sparepart like just the front wheel? Babyshop cant help andd its where i purchased my item.
I just bought the ergo baby metro plus and when I open it up to standing. The rods in the back detach and the hooks under the seat have to be re attached as well. Is this normal or is mine defective?
you mentioned this stroller is one of the few ultra compacts to offer an adjustable handle, who else offers the adjustable handle please?!
I would have bought this over the bombi or minu but the canopy kinda looks meh-ish to me and looks like sunburn would definitely be an issue😆
Hello, do you know which Nunas it’s compatible with?
Please review the Baby Yoda stroller.
Can you please review the Agio z4?
The Agio is not easy to get in Norway unfortunately, but we do plan to discuss the model in a manner similar to the way we did the Mockingbird in an upcoming video. Otherwise, if it shows up here, we'll definitely try to get ahold of it for something more in-depth. :)
ergobaby metro or baby jogger city tour 2? what is your opinion?
Have you ever reviewed easywalker strollers (jackey for instance) ?? Was wondering how this compares to them.
We haven't seen the Jackey unfortunately. Easywalker can be a bit hit-and-miss, some models I love, others not so much. We have several videos of our favorite ultracompacts (from those we do know well), the most current being this one: czcams.com/video/woIn0_KPHoc/video.html
Hello do you have any reviews on the original inline stroller which is Phil and Ted’s? Thanks!
Is it worth the extra price over the babyjogger ct2 as a second stroller for travel? Thanks a lot!!
I think it would be a bit overkill for a travel stroller unfortunately, it's pretty big for that. :)
hello what do you think about the Greentom strollers? The concept seems great ( "the greenest stroller on Planet Earth") but what about the rest? Is it a good quality stroller?

Would this be allowed in the cabin?

I'm in a similar setup and buying this one
Which one you decided to buy?
I’m looking for the same and just ordered this one. Any updates?
Have the jogger tour 2.... yes it fit overhead... but I struggled to open it always and to strap my kid in it....
@@pureadoration3hey, i came across this and would like to know how about the metro stroller base on your review?
Thanks for this review. I have used this one for 7months and it's nothing but nightmare. The folding system is extremely difficult and totally not possible by one hand. The shopping basket is TINY and hard to reach. But the worst is that the wheels eroded very quickly. I haven't had any experience with other small strollers but I really wouldn't recommend this one!
We had the same exact problem with the wheels! We were having the worst time maneuvering the front wheels only to look most closely and see rust was forming around where they connected with the body of the stroller. Total disappointment.
IIs there a way to fit the carseat to this stroller with the seat fabrics still in place?

the website states this has suspension. i'm wondering why he satd there was not?
