    Real Mum Review- Redsbaby Metro pram

    Published: Aug 21, 2017 · Modified: Aug 22, 2017 by Sara · This post may contain affiliate links · 50 Comments

    I am pregnant with baby number two and all the buzz on social media has been about Redsbaby prams. I had never heard of them last time I was pregnant back in 2013 so I decided to investigate.

    Redsbaby was founded by the Redelmans back in 2013. They only sell their prams online which keeps the costs down, these prams start at an excellent price point of $649. If you want to try the pram out they have demo days in the major cities. I decided to go along to one to see what all the fuss is about.

    Redsbaby Demo Days

    Demo days are held frequently throughout the year in major cities. You will need to reserve your spots (they book out quickly!). www.redsbaby.com.au/find-a-demo-day-near-you/

    At the demo there is a brief presentation about the two models of Redsbaby prams, the Jive (which converts to a double) and the Metro. The presenter demonstrates how they both work. Then everyone is given the opportunity to try out the different models. There are staff members there to assist and answer any questions you have.

    The best thing about going to a demo day (besides getting to try out the prams of course!) is that if you order there on the day you are given discount codes and free accessories!

    The Redsbaby Metro

    Redsbaby have sent us a pram to review and give away! I decided on the Metro as I was totally in love with the giant basket! It holds 10kg and you can access it easily from the front and back. The frame is quite lightweight at only 7kg.

    Redsbaby Bassinet

    The bassinet is an optional extra. The pram comes with adapters and is easy to click in and out. It has a canopy that you can unzip and let extra airflow through to keep baby cool in summer. The canopy also has a ‘peek hole’ so that you can check on baby whilst sleeping. My favourite thing about this is that it uses a magnet rather than Velcro so that it is silent. There is nothing worse than that loud ripping sound when you are trying to check on a sleeping bub! The bassinet also has a super comfy mattress. You can also easily click out the bassinet and place it on the floor for bubs to sleep in when visiting friends.

    Redsbaby Seat

    I love the seat on the Metro! You can face it forwards or backwards and it comes out with a simple one handed movement. It has three settings, upright, recline or lay flat. It is really easy to adjust the position of the seat with no jerky movements that would wake bub if they fell asleep sitting up and you wanted to recline them. You can also adjust the footrest for bub if they are awake or asleep to support their legs. The seat canopy has the same features as the bassinet.

    On the back of the seat is a convenient pocket where you can keep your phone and keys etc. for easy access if you are just popping out for a quick walk. The one feature I don’t love is the five-point harness. Although yes, it is very safe, I found it far too fiddly. You need to join the top and bottom sections together before clipping them in. This is fine with a baby but I can imagine it would get quite tricky with a wriggly toddler!

    Redsbaby Folding and Braking

    One of the best features of the Redsbaby is its folding mechanism. Although you do need two hands it is a simple click and pull. The pram folds down with the seat attached! This is one of the top things on my list when looking for a pram. I can’t imagine how irritating it would be having to deconstruct your entire pram every time you wanted to fold it down. You are also able to unfold the pram with one hand which is a bonus. I was also presently surprised how little space it took up in the boot of the car whilst folded.

    The brake is a foot brake which is easy to use when wearing enclosed footwear but come summer and my love of thongs I know it will be tricky to manoeuvre and will probably entail me bending down and having to do it with my hand. I much prefer a hand brake on a pram, much more practical for us thong wearing Aussies!

    Redsbaby Metro Handling and Appearance

    The Redsbaby Metro is a four-wheeled pram. The back two wheels are air pumped and the smaller front ones are plastic. This pram is really easy to manoeuvre! It goes up and down kerbs easily, has a great turning circle, can go on footpaths and grass without an issue. The handle bar is also adjustable which is an advantage if you are not the ‘average’ height.

    The chassis on its own weighs 6.3kg, the seat is 3.3kg and the bassinet adds 4.5kg to the chassis weight. Folded down it measures 85cm x 27cm, while unfolded it is 71cm x 108 (before adjusting the handle height)

    The Redsbaby Metro is an absolutely beautiful pram! The handlebars are covered in a beautiful tan leatherette which goes beautifully with the three colour options, Mist, Onyx and Indigo. I decided on the Mist to road test and give away and I wasn’t disappointed! The material is good quality and easy to wipe down.

    Accessories

    Extra accessories that you can purchase with the Redsbaby Metro include:

    Pram Organiser

    Cup Holder

    Buggyboard

    Maxi-Cosi Capsule adapters

    UPF 50+ Sun & Sleep Shade

    Insect Net

    Rain Cover

    No Slip Contoured Seat Liner

    Winter Foot Cover

    Overall this is an affordable, stylish and practical pram that is easy to use. I would happily recommend this pram and now I finally know why everyone is raving about it on social media!

      Love the size of the pram, and how modern it looks, love the skateboard attachment for my toddler, and that it's a lighter pram than my massive strider plus. Beautiful looking pram, the adjustable ha doe height is a great idea also

      It looks and sounds amazing! Love how you don't have to take the seat off to fold it down, that feature in prams confuses me? Why?? Makes something that should be quick take longer.
      I like that it has a foot break as well. Hand breaks on prams don't give me much confidence that it isn't going anywhere, so a foot break, to me, is the better option.
      Would love to win! Due with #2 in October and everything else this baby boy is getting is secondhand from his older brother, would love something new just for him.

      Love it! It looks a lot less bulky than my pram. I'd also need the Buggyboard for my toddler. Hope I win it, my pram is so old and it gets a real workout because I walk everywhere with my two littlies...

      What's not to love about this pram! As a first time mum this is a pram I have looked at since I first found out I was pregnant. The size, especially the light weight of the pram is a definite must for me as is the ease of mobility, there's nothing worse than a pram which manoeuvres like a dodgy shopping trolley but this pram is so far from that. Easy to clean material, adjustable height for those tall partners and such a simple compact fold, Redsbaby gets two thumbs up from me!

      Oh *swoon*. I've had four kids and FOUR prams. Prams are really such an integral part of your family once bub comes along.

      I absolutely LOVE the combo wheel feature that Redsbaby has thought of here. What a genius idea. The entire pram is really well thought out, how lucky families are to have this option available.

      Thank you for the review, currently on my third trimester with my second bub and was pondering on which pram to get with so many choices out in the market I started to feel a bit overwhelmed. But upon reading your review which has been the most comprehensive/ informative one I've encountered...It's hard to say which "one feature" to love about it becuase there's more than a couple that's impressed me. To put it simply It's won me over with the practical design/ functionality, its surprisingly stylish and the price makes it amazingly appealing considering other brands with the same features and look cost almost double. Love it!

      I've heard such good things about redsbaby prams and compared to my 12 year old clunker, anything lightweight with reversible seats sounds blissful. I like that this pram has been designed with parents in mind - light, simple to put up and down and a huge basket for lugging all the stuff you need with a baby.

      I'm excited to becoming a dad soon. There are so many things to like about the Redsbaby Metro pram bundle. My favourite of all, is that at the flick of a switch the handlebar can be raised or lowered. This is perfect for my partner and myself. I'm tall and she is short! It means we can both comfortably and easily have turns navigating these cool wheels while bonding with our precious family on board.

      I love the parent facing option! There are so many prams out there and my wife and I didn't realise parent facing was even a thing when we went shopping for one. Now we're dreading our bub growing out of her capsule because we're so not ready to not be able to have walk chats with her anymore. This pram is walk chat future proof!

      I love that Megan & Brett had a dream, made it come true and are sharing it. My dream is to be healthier and be involved in our community. We have traded in our car for walking and public transport. The agile maneuvering of the metro pram is so very user friendly on busy buses and trains for everyone. I'd have no need to ask strangers for assistance to get on and off with my sons and I wouldn't be bumping into people and profusely apologising for the inconvenience. Having such a pram would get me a step closer to my dream.

      Definitely the basket space! I am a new mum and was unable to afford a new pram. The one I borrowed has a poor design and therefore I cannot use the basket for anything. Carrying a baby bag and a baby has not been good for my back at all! Would like this pram for its basket space (and fold up design)

      I've purchased many products and it's taken me years to discover the operations and functions so the demo days and online videos are amazing. The super sized basket at the pram base that holds a whopping 10 kg and wouldn't ever lead to the pram toppling over is just as amazing. I have 3 children and this Mum is quick on her feet but toppling prams are stressful and tricky to catch.

      Love this pram! It seems to have all the features of the high end options including good looks but the price is actually quite reasonable. The light colour seems just perfect for an Aussie summer bub. Thanks for taking the time to review it - only downside seems to be the difficulty trying it out before ordering it.

      I love one handed fold up action, so if i need to try and unfold the pram while drinking my 6th coffee for the day I wont get my sleep deprived fingers stuck. Or if im trying to multi task while a toddler is hugging my leg & a new born is im my arms the chances of a successful outing are increased with a fast one handed unfolding motion and buggyboard
