First time parents are spending more than three billion pounds on baby gear every year, with more than half ending up in debt!
A nationwide study released in time for British Savings Week (16th - 22nd September), has found that UK parents spend an average of £10,000 on baby prep/first year of life costs, adding up to more than THREE BILLION POUNDS spent on first babies alone EACH YEAR.
Shockingly, a whopping 90 percent of parents admitted they’d overspent on baby goods, with an average £5,567 wasted in total. That’s £1.7billion wasted each year by British parents on items that were either not used at all, or not enough to warrant the amount spent!
And with some parents admitting to spending as much as a brand-new Ford Focus* it’s no surprise that more than half (56 percent) of new mums and dads go into debt due to unforeseen or unplanned costs associated with their first baby.
The research, commissioned by Ergobaby UK, found that three quarters (73 percent) of British mums and dads were

Looking for a compact stroller that really goes from birth and fits into your hallway, so you can actually walk to the front door and back without tripping over?
The Ergobaby Metro can certainly help!
The Metro Newborn Kit provides the same style and comfort of a pram, but on a compact stroller - and can even fold when attached to the stroller. Just see how easy it is below! Unlike most strollers where you have to take the carrycot off before folding!
Use the Metro Newborn Kit from birth and then switch to the stroller seat when baby starts to push up (approx 5-6 months). The newborn kit provides a comfortable, supportive lie-flat position with baby. It is super compact and lightweight: folded dimensions 67 cm x 46 cm x 33 cm (with newborn kit and sunshade attached).
Definitely try it for yourself to see just how super easy it really is, and if your travelling with little one, don’t forget your Metro carry bag.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are…" Sometimes you don't even need to resort to the bedtime classics, baby falls asleep easily on a small walk in the buggy.
In this case, the Metro says: "Make yourself comfortable". This dreamcatcher will get it all sorted : the backrest can be adjusted in just a few steps; the footrest can be folded up so little one can continue dreaming in a wonderfully relaxed way.
Thanks to soft padding, super wheels and soft suspension, it's sleeping guest will not even notice that this is NOT their own bed. At least, that's how it looks! Roll the tape for our fifth and last video proof from the #madetomove series:

Those who have followed our #madetomove video series over the past few weeks know this: our Metro is a conqueror of obstacles - it goes around them like a real problem solver.
We know it's not always easy navigating everyday urban life with other strollers and a child.
In today's video, we show the "no lift down to the tube" scenario. This is no problem at all for our feather-light Metro buggy.
Simply take your child in your arms, easily fold up the Metro with your other hand and you're on your way down the stairs to the incoming tube. So... you only need your own two hands – no additional helping hand, which, as you know, is not always easy to find from a stranger!

Fortunately, there are many cafés that suit children and families alike. But even if there are designated places for strollers and buggies, they are often already taken. How about taking it with you to the table?
Usually, that's not an option, as there are many other big and small guests around and the waiters have to find their way through the tables somehow. That cosy chat over coffee and cake doesn't work out.
How nice it would be if you had a stroller or buggy that could be folded up to the size of a shopping bag?… Wait a minute, there is such a thing! Our Metro stroller passes as hand luggage when folded. A little suitcase like this should fit into any café, no matter how overcrowded it may be! And because it is so light, it can also be carried over the heads of other café guests with just one hand. Hard to believe? We have proof in the third of our #madetomove video series :

Do you already own one of our super compact Metro models? If so, then maybe you’ve also taken part in our great promotional campaign, where you got a FREE carrybag after submitting a rating for the Metro. If not, once you purchase a Metro Stroller from our collection you can also take a few moments to sit at the computer and send us your thoughts on the foldable city stroller, because this campaign has been extended until June 30th!
So far, we have received many reviews from all over Europe. More than 500 in total, which makes us very proud: 90 % positive. This means that other parents are more than satisfied with the functionality, comfort, quality and compactness of the Metro as it scored an average rating of 4.7/5 stars!
But what exactly do you like about our compact urban beauty? For one, precisely that. The Metro is so compact that it can be folded up and fitted into every boot or footwell below the child’s seat.  Metro-owner family p says:

The Metro is our urban everyday helper on wheels. As we’ve been emphasizing time and again, it turns everyday obstacles into everyday moments so that you and your toddler can simply experience and enjoy the moment.
To really show that the Metro really is our urban everyday helper on wheels, here's the first of our 5-part video series #madetomove, in which we captured an everyday moment with a camera.
Our first moment is the hallway. This situation is not new to all multi-family house residents: the stairwell is used by several parties as well as big and small people. In addition to all the prams, bicycles and tricycles, it is almost impossible to get by with one’s own device. And usually, you will not be able to find free space for it. The Metro, however, is foldable with one hand and you will be able to push it through the narrow hallway with kit and caboodle. See for yourself :

Everyday life with a child but without the Metro?
Hard to imagine for us!
Just last week, we showed you how our Metro Compact City Stroller easily "manoeuvres" obstacles in everyday life. Our marketing champion Robin and his little family have allowed us to film them in these exact situations to show you! Below we show you some behind the scenes footage before releasing the videos over the next few weeks :).

This is how it went down with the Metro and the camera team through Hamburg, Germany. The filming locations were varied a full café, the typical narrow hallway in one of Hamburg's old buildings, the subway stairs, the car crammed with groceries and so many more.
The team had a lot of fun shooting: the Hamburg weather was excellent, the youngest set member as happy as a sandboy and the Metro was exactly as promised. And the parents? They were deeply relaxed and content because of these reasons. In fact, everything went so smoothly that the mini actor just closed his eyes at the

Ah, isn't it lovely? The warmer weather has come and, hopefully, it will live up to its name. Let it pamper you and put a smile on your face with its rays of sunshine.
And just to keep this smile alive in your everyday life, we recommend our Metro to you. Because anyone who combats the urban jungle with their young ones will inevitably encounter obstacles. And our Metro can make these obstacles disappear or at least make them less significant.
Because already when you’re on the way to the underground, the first challenges may be waiting for you: The lift is broken, or it is simply impossible to find. With the super-light Metro, this obstacle simply turns into an everyday MOMENT: Put your child on your arm, fold your stroller with just one hand and you're off to the underground train. When going shopping in the small organic food store just around the corner, there is no need to fold the stroller at all as the maneuverable speedster takes the narrow aisles without
