Learn how to quickly attach your infant car seat to the Ergobaby Metro 3 stroller using the adapter. Step-by-step instructions for a secure fit.

Quick answer

Attach the adapters to the stroller frame, then click your compatible infant car seat onto the colored indicators. The whole process takes under a minute once you know the two common pitfalls.

Why the adapter matters for safety

The Ergobaby Metro 3 adapter is not a universal part—it's designed specifically to lock your infant car seat rigidly onto the pushchair frame. Without it, the seat can tilt or detach, which is unsafe. The adapter also folds with the stroller, so you don't have to remove it between uses.

Compatibility check before you start

This adapter works with Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, Avionaut, BeSafe, Britax, and Nuna seats. If your car seat brand isn't listed, the adapter will not click in—do not force it. The pushchair itself is not included with the adapter purchase.

Step-by-step fitting guide

  1. 1. Locate the adapter attachment points: On each side of the Metro 3 stroller frame, find the small slots near the armrest. The adapter arms have a tab that slides into these slots. Common mistake: trying to attach the adapter to the fabric canopy or seat back—only the frame slots are correct.
  2. 2. Slide and click the adapter into place: Hold the adapter with the color-coded indicators facing outward. Slide the tab into the frame slot until you hear a click. Repeat on the other side. Checkpoint: both adapters should sit flush against the frame and not wobble when you tug them gently.
  3. 3. Align your car seat onto the adapters: Lower your infant car seat onto the adapters so the seat's built-in connectors meet the colored indicators. Press down firmly until you hear a second click. Common mistake: pressing only one side. Apply even pressure to both sides simultaneously to avoid a partial latch.
  4. 4. Verify the connection is secure: Lift the car seat by the handle—it should stay locked to the stroller. Check that the release buttons on the adapters are not visible (they retract when locked). Empty
