Graco - Modes Element Travel System

Came to say the same. We just bought ours and put it together, and we are impressed. I bought mine directly off the Graco website, and used a 20% coupon, so it was $400. Totally worth it.

Hey yall I’m 12.5 weeks pregnant with twins and I’m looking for a good twin stroller that is compatible with the infant car seats. I had the Graco Modes Element travel system with my first and loved it; being able to seamlessly move her from stroller to car made my life so easy I’ve been looking into the Graco DuoGlider Click Connect because it’s affordable and I still have my daughter’s Graco infant car seat, the Snugride Lite LX, so I’d only have to buy one more. Does anyone recommend this one? And if not why didn’t you like it? Im open to other brands as long as they’re affordable and the car seats are thin in width because I will be fitting three car seats across in my vehicle. The target trade-in event is happening soon so if I need to trade in the Graco infant car seat I have, I have no problem with that. Also, am I overthinking the car seat compatibility thing? There are tons of twin strollers where you’re meant to take the baby out of the car seat and strap them into the stroller. I just feel like, since I’m gonna have 3 kids under the age of 3, the car seat thing just makes more sense convenience wise.

We got the Graco Modes Element travel system. Really liked it. Has the bassinet feature and also has parent cup holder and tray which is nice to have! Light weight and easy to maneuver. Our son is 4 years old that we used it to for and will be pulling it back out for our newborn in October

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)

I have a deep hatred for the Doona. It's dangerously misused. For babies under 3 months, it is ill-advised for them to stay in a car seat longer than 30 minutes though it can stretch for two hours. *For literally everyone else, infants and adults*, you are not supposed to sit in the car/be buckled into a seat for more than two hours at a time. This car seat is great for plane travel, popping into the gas station, or a grocery run that takes less than 20 minutes (when the drive was also short). It is NOT good for museums, outings, walks around town, big grocery trips or most of the things people in these comments are using it for. These comments show me they've never spoken with a CPST about it (which is infuriating on another level.) Not only does sitting in the car seat too long do damage to the spine and hips, the risk/chance of blood clots goes up and that is very dangerous. Adults too, on the blood clots part. [This is what we got. The car seat *can* click into the stroller when needed, like a quick trip in the grocery store. But the stroller reclines to become a flat surface with a 5 point harness that is safe to use from day one. ](https://a.co/d/3eoOD9c) OP, also know that using a car seat anywhere that's not properly installed puts the baby at risk for positional asphyxiation- on the floor or couch at home, in a shopping cart, etc. And the shopping carts that have the bucket looking car seat attachments aren't safe either. They aren't produced by a specific manufacturer so they aren't safe for any particular seat. It's just not safe and there's no clearer way to state that.

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.

Grace Modes Element LX!! We love ours - meets all your criteria for $399, and comes in a beige-ish color. An additional car seat base (it includes one obviously) would only be $89 compared to $200 for some Uppa baby bullshit lol. Don’t overlook Graco as a “cheap” brand. They’ve been around for a long time for a reason, and will likely be around much longer than a lot of these new “luxury” baby brands.

We had the Graco Snugride 30 and the jogging stroller it came with. I like it fine, the turning on it can be tricky, but that's a 3 wheel stroller thing and not specific to these. I specifically wanted a jogging stroller with real wheels and some shock support since my community has a lot of forest trails we walk. If you're looking for one for walking around a city or a mall, I'd probably suggest a 4 wheel as they turn in a much smaller radius

I went with the Graco 3 in 1 travel system with the SnugRide LX/DLX car seats. It was the highest rated on targets website. Most of the car seats that Graco makes are compatible with the travel system. And it has the pramette mode on the stroller which is something I was looking for. The travel system itself with the car seat was $300.

Hey, I too got the Graco 3-1! Confused my husband a lot to figure out what to use for what age and how
