i have been eyeing this stroller and been contemplating the past couple of weeks in buying it. good thing I made another “youtube review” run and came across your channel. thanks for the review and the discount! 😊
I am so glad to hear this!!! I hope you love it.
I have probably watched every single one of your videos while choosing a travel stroller. They are so helpful!!!!!! I have finally decided on the Metro+ Deluxe. Thank you for the detailed reviews. Keep up the good work!!!
This made my night! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you love the stroller.
We bought this 2 months ago after watching this review and we are in love! She looks so lux and we love how slim and light she is!
I am soooo glad to hear this! Thank you for sharing. :)
Thank you for the thorough review! In your personal opinion, would you rather pick this over the Joolz Aer+?
Hi im between Ergobaby and Joolz Aer+ ?
Does the ergobaby has an uperback poaition like joolz?
I’m considering this (Ergo Metro+ Deluxe) and the Bugaboo Butterfly for my smaller side 18mo old. The stroller would mainly be used for around town, staying in my vehicle as a compact stroller. The occasional flight, maybe once or twice a year. Not taking into account cost, since they’re in a similar price range. Also, which of the two has better upright sitting? Thank you!!
The metro probably has slightly, and I mean slightly better upright seating.
Great video! I ended up getting this stroller and wanted to say that the adapters for the Nuna are a one-time install with the screwdriver. After that, the adapters just slide on and off like any other adapter/stroller combo. You can also keep the seat halfway on and not take it all off to use the car seat and its adapters. Not as convenient as other strollers in this regard, but having a full recline and being able to fit overhead compartments were key features for me!
That is a great point on the screws! I do love the full flat recline for this stroller! You also have to take the seat off for the Minu...I hope someday both of these strollers make updates to allow car seat use with the seats fully attached.
Some videos and comments I’ve seen says the adapters have to be removed to fold the stroller. Are you able to fold the stroller with the car seat adapters on?
@@alc4970 You have to remove them sadly :(
@@alc4970 the adapters have to be removed to fold. But they click on an off like many other stroller/car seat combos. The part you have to screw in is like a pre-adapter. So you have the stroller, screw in pre-adapter (one time install) and then the click on adapter and then the car seat.
Super informative video! I love how you talk about the little ‘inconveniences’ about each stroller that you’ve tested. A lot of the little things don’t come up after really using the stroller for a while. And knowing it beforehand could really help consumers weigh the pros and cons to make an informed decision.
I have the yo-yo but I really like some other strollers which have the full recline option for a toddler as well. I was also not impressed by yo-yo’s ability to stroll on slightly uneven (but still urban) road. I’m curious to your thought on the suspension of the compact strollers and if there’s any that stands out. But I understand that since they are compact strollers, they don’t compare to the big guys with huge wheels 😂
I am so happy to hear that you appreciate that too! I know it can seem crazy calling out so many little things, but I would rather know before making such a purchase!
On the suspension, it's hard. Maybe the Nuna TRVL, but the weaker frame still makes it not perfect. I actually feel like that is one area the yoyo is fairly strong in, but like you said it's still not great.
Can you do a comparison video between the Ergobaby Metro Plus and the Nuna Trvl? I currently use the Nuna Tavo, but need something compact for traveling for a 1 year old.
I am happy to help! Do you hope to have more kids? Would you just be using it for travel and running errands? What features are most important to you?
I do plan on having more but for now just the one. Yes, mostly for travel and running errands since we already have the other stroller. We will be going on a cruise so that was my main reason for looking into a compact stroller. Our current Nuna Tavo also takes up a lot of trunk space, when doing our weekly Costco run. Other features I’d like is compatibility with the Nuna car seat as well. But mostly comparing size when folded.
How is the “upright” sit with this. My 3 year old does not need to be buckled, but my 19 months is a 100,000% flight risk. He likes to sit up tall, he also is my stroller sleeper so I like the near full recline of this. We have the Joovy Kooper RS (which I love) but the sit isnt fully upright like he likes (not an issue for my 3 year old since she isnt strapped in).
The bumper bar defiantly helps with that for your 19 month old because they can hold themselves up more when seated. I have a 20 month old and it's okay. She doesn't really complain about it. It's not my favorite upright seat, but also not as bad as some like the Yoyo2 (I would avoid for the seat alone..). I think you would be happy with the recline for naps and I love the added airflow on this stroller.
How does it compare to Silver Cross Jet 3? I have it but my 2 year old outgrew it and is no longer as comfortable when he naps (mainly the short leg rest and not enough space for his arms). Thanks!
The issue with the Jet is the really small basket... You want a full flat recline? Did you look at Bugaboo or Zoe Tour V2?
Can you compare this ergobaby metro vs the babyzen yoyo? Thanks.
What specifically are you wanting me to compare on these stroller?
Thanks for this video! I have a kiddo that's just about to turn 2. We usually babywear, but she's starting to get heavy. I'm considering the ErgoBaby Metro+ as a travel stroller and like it because there's a foot difference between my husband and myself (5'3" and 6'3") and because it can fit in the overhead bin. Do you think that this is the best option for us? Are there others I should consider? Thanks!
This is a great option and I just received a coupon code to use along with the link for 15% off that I added to the description. The Metro is the only travel stroller right now with an adjustable handlebar!
Thank you!
We have the Ergobaby Metro (not deluxe version) and it is absolutely fantastic! My husband is 6 foot and I’m 5’2. This stroller pushes like a dream. Both my 19 month old and 5 year old fit perfect and my 5 year old is BIG. The seat is so cushy and after seeing this video I have decided to not even upgrade from the Ergo to Bugaboo because our stroller is just so nice I feel I’d be disappointed lol
Would you recommend this or the silver cross jet 3 since they are both able to fully recline?
I have not had any experience with silver cross yet so it’s hard to say. Let me do a little research and get back to you! I will say I am very happy with the padding and recline on this stroller.
I went and tested out the Silver cross Jet at Nordstrom, and I will say it does have some unique features, but I probably would go with the Ergo Metro because of the basket! The Jet's basket is very small and the fold is not simple. I also felt like the recline is a little better on the Metro. I hope this helps!
can you suggest which infant car seat will go with this and how to install the car seat with their adapters
Hello! I have the Nuna/Maxi Cosi/Cybex adapters, but they are HARD to get on and you cannot use the seat with them installed. I will work on posting the short I made, but I definitely recommend primarily using the bassinet feature with this stroller over the car seat adapters if possible.
Hi! Will it actually fit the overhead bin? My sister has the + deluxe but it seems big. Thanks!
Yes it will! In almost all (not some of the tiny airplanes is what I have been told). I honestly prefer the + not the deluxe because it is more compact when folded.
What do you recommend this one or Nuna trvl for 1 month baby ?
It depends if you need/want to use a car seat with your stroller. if so NUNA (but you have to use a PIPA), if not Ergo (full flat recline is so nice)!
We saw this stroller in a store today and your review made for an interesting complement of information. Out of curiosity, I understand that this stroller is compact and travel friendly, but are there definite cons to using it as a main stroller in an urban setup?
I think you would like it in an urban setting! Especially during the toddler stage. It's so quick to get in and out of the trunk. I wish this stroller had a carry strap for travel and you would not need that for a car lifestyle.
that fold is painful 😵 would you recommend this or the butterfly for a 12 month old? I currently have the nuna pipa system and a bob jogger. I actually dont love the nuna stroller and while I love my bob I need something we can travel with. Head to Hawaii next week weee🌴
I am so sorry for the delay in getting back! What did you decide? I would recommend the Joolz Aer +! It's one of my favorites right now.
@@thestrollermom I got the bugaboo 😜
@@katyreid6148 Do you like it? I really like that stroller too!! I love how high the seat back is, it grows with you baby. :)
Hi! I found your review so helpful. I’m stuck between the Metro+/ Deluxe, Aer+, Butterfly…also the Kinderkraft Nubi2 which I quite like but find the materials might be a bit lower quality. (Would love for youvto review that one too!)
My toddler is 2, baby is 2m so I love that this has a bassinet option. Toddler takes stroller naps, so the recline is important. I live in Barcelona but go everywhere by car so taking it in and out of the car is why I’m charging to this type of stroller - done with the bigger one!
Could you compare the Aer+ and this Metro+ Deluxe? I don’t get the hype around the Joolz. The lack of footrest is a dealbreaker? Would like to hear your opinion. Thanks!!
I am a first time mum to be so apologies for silly question…. The newborn option that you showed - do you think is as good as bassinet/separate cot? Also would I remove the seat belts? Otherwise looks like baby’s head will be between them and it doesn’t look comfortable. Thanks
I think it accomplishes the same goal, but the separate bassinets do have their pros as well. I would not take the seat belts off! You can use them or work around them.
Do you think the Ergobaby Metro+ Deluxe is worth it? Check out my link to save 15%!
I have it and there are definitely more than 100 dollars worth of upgrades definitely worth the money!!
I can not decide between joolz aer + or Ergobaby metro + deluxe. Can you help me, what is your suggestion?
Both are great strollers! Do you have a newborn? Do you want to use a car seat with the stroller? Will you be doing a lot of airline travel?
I also just added a coupon code to the description for Ergobaby if you decided to go with the Metro+!
@thestrollermom hey, thanks for getting back to me. I have 6 months old baby. I'm searching for a light stroller cos from my home to pavement, i have around 20 steps ( so i would like to carry the stroller and my baby by myself). I don't drive, so i will use public transport when I'm alone with my baby. Also, we live in Malta (Europe), so we use airplane a lot. Basically, I'm looking light stroller for daily use. To be easy for me when I'm alone.
@@Mihailovic22 both are great! I would maybe go Joolz because of the carrying strap… but I think you will be happy either way. I just added a discount code for the Ergo in the description, so that one will be a little more affordable with the discount code and include accessories.
Is it compatible with Cybex Cloud T I-size?
I think so, but I will say this stroller is not awesome with car seat adapters. I am pretty sure Cybex, Nuna and Maxi Cosi all use similar mechanics when connecting to the adapters since they all usually share the same adapter.
@@thestrollermom thanks, why do you think it isn’t awesome?
@@nastushkafm4011 You have to take the seat fabrics off or at least partially off and it does not fold with adapters.
I wish they would increase their canopy coverage 😢
That and the car seat adapters working with the seat on would be amazing.
Can you do a comparison of babyzen yoyo2, ergobaby metro+ and Joolz Aer+ as well specifically on:
1/Ease of fold
2/Seat incline. I have heard that the babyzen yoyo2 does not really sit up well and causing toddlers to lean back further than intended. Also does the lay flat recline benefit older kids for napping etc?
3/ Overall build comparison - is it a smooth ride on pavement/pavers etc. Does it bounce too much for a new born?
4/ Comfort for the kid and ease of use between multiple aged kids.
We are first time parents and just bought the babyzen yoyo2 (not opened yet). Wondering if we should purchase the newborn pack vs swap it with the ergo metro+ deluxe as we are planning to be traveling with our baby starting 3 months onwards and hoping it will last a long time.
I would like to see the comparation of those 3 buggies. I can not decide which one to choose from those 3. How did you choose babyzen? Somehow i eliminate babyzen and im thinking between aer + or ergobaby metro + deluxe. But its so hard to decide 😒😆
I would go with Metro or Joolz over the Yoyo! The Yoyo is just in need of some updates.
1. Best fold = 1st. Joolz Aer+ 2nd. Metro 3rd. yoyo
2. Seat Incline = Toss up between Joolz and Metro - YoYos is bad...
3. They all are pretty similar. All three are very well made w/good reinforcements throughout. They are not super smooth on pavers (but no travel stroller really is).
4. Joolz is nicer for use with car seat adapters... The Metro just added a rider board and with its handlebar extension I think it will be better than the Joolz Rider board. I hated using that. The Yoyo has a cool second seat attachment that they sell. Yoyo does not have adjustable harnesses which is annoying if you are trying to use it with a toddler and a baby. What else do you want to know? I did just get a discount code for the metro+ and added it to the description if you end up going with it.
@@thestrollermom thanks for the response! For airline carry on between Joolz and Metro+ is metro better?
@@pamelasurjadjaja1071 They both do well for this. The Joolz has a carry strap that makes it a little easier, but the Metro has several features like an included foot rest, bassinet mode, etc. So it really depends on what is most important for you.
I just sold my yoyo2 to get this one. Hated how my daughter sat in the yoyo
Please show how to put a car seat on it!!!
Get the attachment
@@mysterygirl-xt4ic I haven't seen a good review on ergobaby stroller + car seat without it being from ergobaby themselves.
Im so over the price points of these strollers. Getting a City Mini second hand is the best value. One handed fold, great handling, longggg canopy that doesn’t touch your hands, not super light but that means it’s so sturdy to gate check and not think twice about
Thanks for sharing! Strollers can be so pricy, but thankfully the better made ones resell well.
I wish it had a bigger canopy 😢
I was really happy with it overall, but I understand what you are saying that an additional extension would be nice.
I thought the same thing but honestly the canopy to me online vs in person is deceiving in a good way! When I put my 11 month old in with the canopy fully extended my son had to duck his head to see me I was completely satisfied with the coverage so glad I bought it!!!
I was sold until you folded it :( ughh i cant find a compact that does it all!
also i couldnt stop staring at your neighbors 4 ceiling fans lol ahaha
Honestly the folding is very easy once you get used to it. It doesn’t fold if the tires facing the inside other than that I’ve never had issues with the folding and now since I’m used to it I’m able to fold it fast
hahahaha Okay, but that's one of the hardest things about where we film. I want the right vibe so bad...but we have to work with what we have. This made my night though! :)
I know! You kinda get used to it, but it's so clunky to fold. If it had the nuna TRVL fold it would be almost perfect. ;)
Thanks for sharing! I love hearing how it works for others. :)
The firm and quality is perfect, but folding/unfolding mechanism is so annoying, so I’ve decided to make a refund 😢
Why would you need a car seat on this? You’d just have a separate car seat fixed into the car wouldn’t you? And use this as a light Weight stroller
I think that's what Ergobaby intend! Today a lot of parents are wanting ones that work with car seats, so I call it out if that is an important feature for a parent.
I’d like it better if it wasn’t vegan leather…..
Yes - I understand that.
That's a whole lot of nothing for $100
It totally depends on the family!
