1. Ergobaby Compact Folds
The Ergobaby Metro+ is a premium stroller that's designed to fit in with city life, allowing you to get on and off public transport with ease and navigate busy streets and shopping malls.

It can be used until your child reaches 22kg in weight (compared to 6 months to 18kg for the previous version of this buggy).

It's a bit heavier than other compact models but the Metro+ is sturdier and has a better feel overall. It also comes with lots of nice extras, including a colourful sun canopy and travel bags, as well as footmuffs and support bars, so you can personalise your stroller to give it the perfect appearance.
Metro+ may feel stiff initially when you open and close it. This is normal and it will ease over time. You can also spray some silicone or WD-40 on the joints to loosen them up.
