Modes Element Travel System

We have the Graco Modes Element Myles travel system. I hate it. The peekaboo window isnt magnetic or velcroed so it flaps along with the wind during walks. It also doesn’t do well on uneven sidewalks, grass or curbs. I ended up purchasing a Cybex Balios for our long walks and an Ergobaby Metro+ for travel which I am both obsessed with!

I aka for a graco modes stroller and love it! Graco modes element travel system on Amazon. It was around 350 and comes with a car seat. I love that you can use just the car seat with the frame for a more smaller compact look. Or use the bassinet set up with the car seat in it as well. It’s super easy to open and close with just one button to push and it’s pretty light weight. I was looking at the Nuna but the handle seems pretty short and my bf is tall

You don't need to get a crazy expensive car seat & stroller for it to be good. Britax is a pretty good brand and is what I got for my son. [Here's an example ](https://a.co/d/5HYr8Li) [If you want a more budget friendly option, Graco is pretty good too.](https://a.co/d/1tKJGoW) [here's a comparable price to the Britax with a Graco system ](https://a.co/d/3jBqUKr)

We have the Graco Modes Element Travel System and like it! It came with the Snugride car seat. Consider your price point, what you need in a stroller, and what will fit in your car! Definitely recommend a system that will grow with your baby

We like our Graco Modes Element LX Travel system. Unclick car seat from car seat base, click into stroller base, off you go. Haven't tried it in snow, but it handles great on crappy sidewalks and in fields.

We have the Graco Modes Element travel system. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't curse the thing haha. It's heavy and clunky, has zero shock absorption so it's impossible to use the cup holders, and the click and connect functions are great on paper but finicky and stiff in practice, so you sometimes have to wiggle and tug and hope for the best when changing it up on the road. It's a pain to fold too. If I could do it again, I'd want something with much higher quality wheels and one hand fold that is way more compact.

First 3 months — in no certain order! 1) my breast friend pillow - helped with positioning a tiny newborn to breastfeed 2) SO MANY burp cloths - I love the cheaper muslin ones 3) a carrier that you and your partner can easily use - my husband loves the baby bjorn and I love the boba wrap 4) the spectra s1 5) we love our inexpensive/lightweight/easy to use car seat/stroller system — Graco Snugride LX. We took walks every day and it was great for my mental health! 6) lots of diapers and wipes 7) a bunch of two way zip sleepers For us — that’s about all we needed to survive!
