Modes Pramette Travel System (2215510)

I have the graco Modes Pramette Travel System it comes with the car seat you can switch it to a bassinet and then when baby gets older you can switch it to the toddler seat

I like it a lot ! but yes the base can be a little annoying but overall it’s a really good stroller

We used the Graco Modes Pramette Travel System, it's super easy to use and not crazy expensive. The car seat just clicks into the stroller which is sooo convenient.

TL;DR: I thought I'd like the convertible seat concept but in practice I found it was bulky and it ended up being better for us to use a separate bassinet attachment or a compact travel stroller that has a near flat recline. I have the Graco Modes Pramette and bought it because I liked the idea of its versatility to convert from bassinet to toddler seat. I thought it would be much more convenient than having a separate bassinet, especially for traveling so I wouldn't have to bring a bunch of gear. However, it is really big and barely fits in the back of my SUV when folded! Also, idk if this is due to buying it second hand or if it's the same way new but the seat/bassinet is really wobbly when attached and I didn't feel comfortable using it on any bumpy roads or sidewalks. I'm also not a fan of the maneuverability of the stroller itself because it doesn't really turn all that well, especially with only one hand if I have something in the other hand. We found an open box sale of the separate Graco bassinet attachment that works with all of the click connect strollers and liked that a lot more than the convertible seat. We now only use the separate bassinet and not the convertible seat. We use it for neighborhood walks and occasional outings where we will have our baby in a stroller for a long time because I didn't like the idea of her sitting in the car seat attached to the stroller for too long (we have a Graco car seat so it works seamlessly with the stroller too). What we've ended up using a lot more is a Baby Jogger City Tour 2 (a small, compact travel stroller) with the Graco car seat attachment so we can use our car seat with it. We use this combo both for quick trips and times where we can get to a destination and have space to take the car seat off and lay baby down in the stroller (it has a near-flat recline) for laying down while stationary and for naps. We even did this when her head control was not great yet and she did fine (I was initially worried about the near-flat not being okay for a wobbly newborn head). Now at 5 months, she has good head control and is bigger and we're almost at the point where we can just strap her in the stroller for walks and she would be fine. She's a small 6th percentile baby so she hasn't been big enough for that until now! This stroller is way better for maneuverability and is nice and compact for traveling, so it's become more of our go-to.

Same system we got! Love it and the versatility. The seat fits my almost 2 year old really well still

Don’t love AI, but this is when ChatGPT comes in handy. See what stores have models you can test out. I also gave up finding “one” stroller, and settle on multiple stroller for multiple uses. I’m personal use Graco for my car seat & stuck to Graco strollers that click in. Bassinet features were rarely used by me but clicking on the car seat is usefully for 9+ months. Graco has a “pramette” that I used as a bassinet with my first. Never used it with my second, but did use the frame to click on the infant car seat. If you have a car seat, stick with strollers you click your brand of car seat in. Ones that can cover
