In this comparison guide, we’ll break down the key features of the Metro 3 compact stroller and the Metro 3 Deluxe compact stroller so you can decide which is the best choice for your family.
The Similarities: What Both Compact Strollers Offer
No matter which version you choose, you're getting the best compact stroller that doesn’t compromise on comfort. Here’s what they have in common:
- One-hand fold: Both strollers fold quickly and easily, perfect when you’re holding your baby (or coffee) in one hand. Make sure you check out the fold, as we have included a little bit of magic….
- Newborn-ready: With a built in Newborn Nest, both strollers are safe and supportive from day one.
- Ergonomic comfort: A deeply padded seat designed to support healthy hip and back positioning.
- Car seat compatibility: Both models work with select infant car seats using adapters (sold separately).
- Adjustable recline: Naps on the go? No problem. A near flat recline helps little ones rest wherever the day takes you.

- Extendable canopy with mesh panel: Offers breathable, UV-protected comfort ideal for sunny strolls and on-the-go naps.
- Travel friendly: Both meet carry on size requirements for many airlines, making them the ideal travel stroller.
