The Ergobaby Metro 3 cupholder is a must-have accessory that adds convenience to your daily strolls. In this guide, we'll walk you through the installation process and share tips to get the most out of your cupholder.

Whether you're a new parent or a seasoned pro, having a cupholder on your stroller can make a world of difference. Not only does it keep your drink secure, but it also frees up your hands for more important tasks, like holding your little one's hand or pushing the stroller with ease.
What's in the Box
When you purchase the Ergobaby Metro 3 cupholder, you'll find the cupholder itself and a set of mounting brackets. The design is sleek and sturdy, built to withstand the rigors of daily use. The cupholder is compatible with the Metro 3 stroller frame, ensuring a perfect fit.
Before you start, make sure you have the cupholder and the mounting hardware. You won't need any special tools—everything can be installed by hand, which makes the process quick and easy.
- Check that you have all parts: cupholder, bracket, and screws.
- Familiarize yourself with the parts before installation.
Step-by-Step Installation
Installing the cupholder on your Metro 3 is a straightforward process. First, locate the mounting point on the stroller frame. This is typically on the side of the handlebar or the lower frame, depending on your preference. Align the bracket with the mounting point and secure it in place using the provided screws. Make sure it's tight enough so that the cupholder doesn't wobble.
Once the bracket is secure, slide the cupholder onto the bracket until it clicks into place. Give it a gentle tug to ensure it's locked in. That's it! Your cupholder is ready to use.
- Choose a location that doesn't interfere with folding the stroller.
- Test the cupholder with a full bottle to ensure stability.
Tips for Using Your Cupholder
Now that your cupholder is installed, here are some tips to make the most of it. Always place your drink in the cupholder before you start walking, and make sure it's secure. The cupholder is designed to hold most standard cups and bottles, but it's best to avoid oversized containers that might not fit snugly.
If you're using the cupholder for hot drinks, be cautious of spills. The cupholder is stable, but sudden movements can cause splashes. Also, remember to remove your drink before folding the stroller to prevent damage to the cupholder or the stroller frame.
- Use a reusable bottle with a lid to minimize spills.
- Clean the cupholder regularly with a damp cloth.
