About
What it is.
Ergobaby positions the Metro+ Deluxe within its stroller lineup as a travel-oriented model built for city living and trips away from home. It belongs to the broader travel stroller category, distinguished by a padded, well-finished build and a recline suited to newborns, rather than the sparse construction typical of umbrella-style strollers.
It suits parents wanting a fold-and-go option that performs reliably without setup fuss, from an established baby gear maker. It is not intended for children beyond the stated weight limit, nor for those seeking the most minimal, lightweight stroller possible — Ergobaby's design here favors comfort and finish over stripped-down portability.
The verdict
The Metro+ Deluxe ranks 14th for travel strollers and earns 4.6/5 from 209 buyers who praise its compact design, smooth wheels, and durability, though limited storage and weak car seat compatibility frustrate owners seeking all-in-one versatility. Best suited to reliability-seekers wanting a trusted, dependable stroller from an established brand.

What owners single out
In their words
“I have never written a product review on anything before, but I have to proselytize about this stroller. I bought the metro deluxe before a trip to NYC with my 5 month old and am completely in love. Honestly prefer it in every way to my overpriced uppababy. He could sit up, he could take naps, I could push it with one hand. I could take it in little stores and push it around without getting stuck.”

“I bought this stroller on sale and I was looking for an alternative to the yoyo stroller. This one has been a great alternative! It's easy to pop up and fold down, and it's very sturdy. The handles are adjustable, which is helpful for adults of different heights. There is minimal storage space underneath, but I was able to fit my small/medium purse there.”

Ergobaby is an established, respected maker; Metro+ Deluxe positioning and high build quality reflect premium care; price tier (~$374–499) aligns with premium segment expectations.
You want strong performance without paying a premium markup.
Mid-to-high street price (~$374–499) and strong rating are solid, but cheaper rivals like City Tour 2 (~$300) or Aer (~$250) deliver comparable portability at lower cost. Consider City Tour 2.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
How easy is it to fold and carry this stroller?
Reviewers praise the one-handed fold that locks securely and is quick enough for daily use. The compact fold makes it practical for travel and city use. Ships fully assembled, so no setup needed.
Can a newborn use this stroller?
Yes. The seat reclines to near-flat, which reviewers note is newborn-friendly. There's also a bassinet-style enclosure mode for younger babies, though it requires manually buttoning flaps as an extra step.
What's the main downside when folding with one hand?
Raising the seat back up is awkward to do with one hand, so it's easier as a two-handed task. Folding is smooth, but unfolding takes more effort.
Who is this stroller a good fit for?
Parents wanting a plush, well-finished travel stroller with a smooth ride and easy fold for city or travel use. It works well for those with newborns since the recline is nearly flat and it includes newborn-friendly features.
Who should look elsewhere?
Parents with children over 50 lbs, since that's the weight limit. Also not ideal for those wanting a bare-bones, lightweight umbrella stroller or needing extensive storage.
What extras come with it?
Reviewers note it includes a rain cover and cup holder. The canopy is large and extendable, and there's a silent magnetic peekaboo window for checking on your child.
