Modes Nest2Grow Travel System

It’s tricky.  The uppababy minu is a FANTASTIC travel stroller and we flew internationally with it - highly recommend.  I got a past version on good buy gear.  It’s just not ideal for tiny infants - it’s prob more of a 6 months +.  We had the graco version of the vista (modes nest2grow) and it’s large so it’s cumbersome in the car and I wouldn’t fly with it.  But it was very nice with the infant seat and holds tons of gear.  Ultimately we use the minu a lot and a BOB jogging stroller a lot, the big graco hasn’t made as many trips due to size.

We use the nest 2 grow now that babies are bigger and you can face one seat forward and the car seat back so they both have a view

I also used the modes nest and loved it. The ability to turn the seat into a bassinet was great. I will warn you that if you have a second, and are hoping to reuse the seat in the graco nest2grow ...theyre not the same mounting brackets. Also the nest2grow seat does not turn into a bassinet. My plan was to buy the nest2grow and put the seat from the nest in it as a second one....didn't work. The N2G does have adapters for the carseat from nest, but it defeats the purposes of my plan to save some money.

Depends how your going to be using your stroller. If your going to be walking/jogging down that dirt road regularly or be in rural areas a lot, your gonna want some sort of jogger stroller or something with inflatable wheels. If your going to keep it in your vehicle and use it for when your going shopping in the city, going out to eat, and use it for an urban sort of lifestyle, with tad bits of times you walk the stroller on gravel, grass, etc, maybe a good all terrain full stroller with good suspension like Uppababy Cruz, Nuna Mixx Next, Bugaboo Fox 5. If you want something more budget friendly in this category maybe the Chicco Corso or Bravo stroller,Graco Modes Nest 2 grow. Jogger strollers include BabyJogger city mini gt, Thule Urban Glide, Guava Roam, Uppababy Ridge, etc. A carseat is 100% necessary, so no matter what, that should be the 1st thing you look at. Find 1 you like, then look at what strollers its compatible with (usually you might have to buy a separate adapter if you use a different brand of carseat from the stroller). You can always look at what strollers already come as part of a bundled travel system with that carseat. But before you even get started looking at carseats, you need to make a decision ifbyour going to use an Infant Carseat (pill bug looking seats), or a convertible carseat (the big ones that stay in a vehicle), or both.

I’m about to have a 20 month gap. I have a Graco nest2grow, which has a rumble seat and then can also do a second rumble seat (stacked), bassinet or car seat. When baby is older we will get a wagon and maybe a double/side by side jogging stroller. Unfortunately I haven’t found an all in one for two toddlers- and multiples items are needed.
