Graco Modes (Nest/Element/Pramette)

I'm no expert but we have the Graco Modes (like the most basic model I believe? It was fairly cheap compared to others) and we have loved it so far! I wanted a cheaper infant seat since they all have to pass the same tests and standards anyways and knew we'd have to upgrade to a bigger convertible carseat eventually anyways. The infant seat clicks into the stroller base easily, and so does a bassinet/pram style thing (tbh we never used it pram style), which then folds down into the toddler seat.

We have the Graco modes nest system and I love it!! Bubs is 11mo and out of the bucket seat now but the toddler seat works really well! It took a few tries to get used to folding it and unfolding but I got the hang of it really quick! It's also very smooth on most of the terrain weve used it on(nothing super rough yet)

We have the Graco modes nest travel system and have been happy with it! The stroller seat converts to a bassinet which was great for when he was a newborn. There only thing I wish it had was one hand fold, but there's only been a time or two I've really wished for it. But it's super easy to use and has held up really well over the past 6 months and we are NOT gentle on it, lol. I love that the car seat it comes with has a single button to adjust the handle rather than having to push both sides.

We did the Graco Modes Element travel system, it is lightweight and easy folding. The car seat locks right into the stroller base, and there is a toddler seat conversion. The wheels are plastic but we've had no issues so far and it turns very smoothly. It wasn't overly expensive either

I have one of the graco modes travel systems. Can't remember which one exactly as I bought it 1.5 years ago. But the infant bucket seat can be attached directly onto the stroller, which is so nice if baby fell asleep in the car seat and you need the stroller. It rides really smooth. Graco also has great deals sometimes. I got the stroller, the infant bucket seat, and the car base for under 300 bucks. Im 4'9 so being super small, it was important that I could easily lift the stroller into my suv

We did the Graco Click-Connect Jogger stroller and it still had lots of life left after 2 babies. It even fit in the hatch of our Prius if we removed the front wheel. Definitely recommend.

I went with the travel system or 3-in-1 from Graco Corso (KeyFit35). Our thinking was even if we didn't get 3 full years out of it we could use it again for the 2nd. We've had it a total of 29 months now and we still use it in some shape or format daily. Different use cases: 1. Rear facing (present) and forward facing car seat (future) 2. Infant Stroller (present) - click in the required attachment 3. Car seat stroller (present) - if we're making short trips the toddler walks and baby sleeps

Also a teacher and we got the Graco modes travel system! Infant car seat, base, stroller w bassinet mode all for $400.

I've gotten a number of Graco products including the modes nest travel system and the extend2 fit car seat and I have nothing negative to say about any of it!

Price really matters here. There's some top of the line stuff that can do a lot. Then there's the budget friendly Graco that I went with. It's the 3 in 1. So it comes with the bucket seat and a bassinet attachment that converts to a sit up stroller seat. It's everything you need. You can have the baby facing you or away. It's a really nice stroller and car seat for the price. The only downside is it's not very compact. I have a Nissan Rogue and it takes up a big portion of the trunk.

We went with Graco, we got the infant bucket seat (this may not be important to you but it was for us, if it's not something you want, you can do a convertible car seat right away!) and then got the Graco 3-1 modes stroller. It fits any Graco car seat, it lays down to a bassinet and then works for a toddler too. It was the most reasonably priced so that's what we went with! It's all pretty lightweight.

We have the Graco Modes travel system! We used it for our 3yo & now with our 2nd.

I enjoy my Graco modes nest travel system.
