Ergobaby Metro+ Deluxe Compact Stroller

Overview

The Ergobaby Metro+ PDX is an umbrella-style stroller with an aluminum frame, rated to hold a child up to 50 pounds. At 18.1 pounds it stays light enough to fold and carry, and it accepts a car seat for travel-system use.

Ergobaby built its name on baby carriers before moving into strollers, and the Metro+ line targets parents who want something more portable than a full-size stroller without dropping to a bare-bones umbrella model. A 50 pound rating is high for this stroller class, so it can realistically ride along from infancy through the toddler years. No fabric, recline or storage details came through in the listing data, so confirm those against Ergobaby's own spec sheet before buying.

• Aluminum frame
• 50 lb weight capacity
• 18.1 lb item weight
• Car seat compatible

Who it's for

Parents who want a stroller light enough to lift into a car trunk or overhead bin but sturdy enough to carry a toddler are the target buyer. It suits city and travel use more than off-road walking, since nothing in the listing points to large wheels or suspension.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The aluminum frame is what lets Ergobaby claim an 18.1 pound carry weight while still rating the seat for a 50 pound child, well above what many umbrella strollers allow. Car seat compatibility means it can accept a compatible infant seat directly, letting it double as a travel-system base without a separate adapter purchase.
