Hamilton One: Should I change my Cybex Eezy S+² for a Hamilton or an Ergobaby Metro+?

Marcelina • 21 Nov 2023

Hi Eli!

I am so thankful I found this website. I have a Cybex Eezy S+2. It does the job but I don't think its compact enough and nice looking.

Ive been eyeing for Ergobaby Metro+. However, I recently discover Hamilton X1 plus and I think it has a better value (it includes a handlebar and cup holder). But I like the design of Ergobaby Metro+ because it is compact when folded.

Which one do you think I should get? Or do you think I should just use my Cybex?

Really looking forward to your reply!!

Hey, Marcelina,

Honestly, I personally would stay with the Eezy S+2. I mean, the difference in size is not as huge, whilst the comfort of pushing, especially because of the wheel size, will diminish with even smaller strollers. The Hamilton also has a bit smaller seat (plus more slanted), and overall it doesn't feel that great to me, quality and practicality-wise. I mean, it is OK, I just don't see it would be better, thus worth it, to change your Cybex for it.

About the Ergobaby, the quality is definitely superior to the Hamilton, however again, the smaller, harder wheels will just be a bit rattlier. The space saving also won't, in my opinion be worth a change.

However that is my subjective opinion and you feel strongly about changing, it could be good for you, especially if you like some other stroller more. Just be sure and found on those smaller wheels to be a bit less comfortable.

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
