Overview
The Minu V3 and Metro 3 are close in weight and both use a built-in setup for newborns rather than a separate bassinet. The Minu V3 confirms more premium features; the Metro 3 costs noticeably less.
Fold and portability
The Minu V3 folds to a tall, narrow 10 × 18 × 21.5 in, while the Metro 3 folds to a more traditional 22 × 17.3 × 9.1 in shape.
Comfort and ride
The Minu V3 has confirmed all-wheel suspension and a 20 lb basket, both larger and more confirmed than the Metro 3's unconfirmed suspension and basket capacity. The Metro 3's near-flat recline is close to, but doesn't quite match, the Minu V3's deeper carriage-mode recline.
Newborn use
Use the built-in carriage mode for newborns, following the manual. The Metro 3 uses its own built-in setup: Integrated Newborn Nest mode is required for newborn use. Follow the manual.
Price
The Metro 3 is the more affordable pick at around $399, about $100.99 less than the Minu V3 at around $499.99.
Which one should you buy?
Choose the UPPAbaby Minu V3 if you want confirmed all-wheel suspension and the larger basket.
Choose the Ergobaby Metro 3 if you want newborn-ready comfort for meaningfully less money.
