Red Kite Push Me Metro stroller reviews, questions, dimensions

The Red Kite Push Me Metro is a budget-friendly, simple three-wheeled stroller with a forward-facing seat, suitable for less demanding parents and terrain conditions. You'll get the Metro for mostly occasional, secondary-buggy style of use, appreciating its reclining seat, the large storage basket, and the simple fold - not even talking about easy maneuverability thanks to the single, doubled wheel in the front. The recline is, however, not full, and the fold is not the most compact - but its price range and simple functionality of the pushchair make up for that.

The Push Me Metro was released in two forms - one with a one-hand folding mechanism, another needing both hands because of two levers on the side. A rain cover is included with the Push Me Metro stroller.

Your questions about the Red Kite Push Me Metro

1)

Is push me metro 3 suitable for taking on aeroplane?

Hey, Sally,

You can take it on an airplane, pretty much any stroller can be taken on an airplane, however, you CANNOT take it as cabin luggage (right on board), as it is larger than the required size. You will have to check it in, or, as baby's luggage, give it away to the stewards and take it back when getting off. You will need to check the policy of your airline to know what exactly your options are.
