Ergobaby Metro 3
A compact-fold stroller whose newborn mode depends on using the seat in the manual’s specified position.
Pros / Cons
Pros
- The 44 cm × 23 cm × 56 cm fold is easier to store in a tight entryway or car boot than a full-size stroller.
- Its Japanese manual gives a defined newborn setup, with carrycot mode built into the seat.
Cons
- At 7.8 kg before the support bar, it may be awkward to carry up stairs every day.
- Before head control, carrycot mode at full recline is required; continuous-use guidance also calls for breaks.

The Metro 3 suits families who want one stroller from early infancy through toddlerhood but need a compact fold for an entryway or car boot. It folds to 44 × 23 × 56 cm, yet weighs 7.75 kg before the support bar, so compare that lift with your stairs and transit routine. The manual sets a 3.2 kg minimum and a maximum of 22 kg or 101.6 cm through 48 months. Before a child can hold their head up, use carrycot mode at the fully reclined position. This is a seat configuration, not a separate carrycot included with the Natural Beige stroller. The manual also recommends limiting continuous use to two hours lying down or one hour seated, so plan breaks on longer outings. The package lists the support bar, manual and warranty card. It is compact for storage, but not a featherweight for stair carries. See our travel stroller shortlist when comparing other compact options.
