"I actually did my first sit down in a coffee shop and enjoy an ice cream while she sleeps in the car seat-stroller (transferred and didn’t wake up) ever two weekends ago- it was bliss!!"
"The car seat is super easy to install and use."
"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."

"the bassinet converts to the toddler seat, so it’s only one attachment aside from the car seat. ... Yes it does have the pram/bassinet mode. It’s the same accessory as the toddler seat. It’s just one accessory that converts."
"And yes the bassinet comes with it and that's truly why we bought it, it was so so so convenient!"
"The bassinet converts into a toddler style seat. This was one of my favourite features when my first was little. When we were out and about and we couldn't find a changing table we'd turn the toddler seat back to a bassinet and change him in there."

"However, the stroller is MASSIVE. Truly huge. It barely fit in the back of my parents SUV. I don’t think it would fit in the back of my small SUV. ... In terms of the Nuna vs. Graco, the Graco just can’t operate in tight city spaces."
"My only serious complaint is that it takes up almost all of the trunk space in my subcompact car."
"The only real issue we had was the size of the stroller. It took up the entire tree trunk of my wifes SUV (albeit a smaller one)."

"I’ll share that I have the Graco Modes Pramette stroller, which advertises itself as a one hand stroller fold. I’ve truly never been able to collapse it without using a second hand to stabilize, and I certainly need both hands to unfold."

I just gave up researching and driving myself crazy and got the graco modes nest travel system. Is basic and has everything I wanted and not hella expensive haha
r/BabyBumps • Lost in the strollers world 😭 ->For my first, I bought the Graco Modes Nest travel system. It was an ok, did the job, but I would not recommend the stroller if you do lots of walking. It was fine in grocery stores, malls, etc, but not sidewalks. After baby was able to sit up and use the stroller without bassinet/carseat I purchased a jogging stroller and NEVER looked back. I love my jogging stroller as someone who walks a lot. So much easier to maneuver and push. Definitely a smoother ride too. Unfortunately, I do not have a jogging stroller/carseat combo that I would recommend because I (sadly) didn't go that route, but if I had to redo, I would start my search there.
r/pregnant • Infant car seat and compatible stroller - tell me the truth - help!! ->I had a Graco modes nest and I LOVED it. My son is 19 months now and I just gave it to my step sister for her baby, if I have another baby I will be buying it again. We moved into a Graco turn2me when we went to convertible. I didnt feel like I needed a turning seat when he was in his infant seat.
r/Mommit • Help! Drowning in a Car Seat and Sea of Strollers - Need a Lightweight Safe Travel System for a Newborn that they can grow into. ->I absolutely loved my Graco modes nest
r/Mommit • stroller recommendations ->The Graco Modes Nest Travel System. https://a.co/d/9sHfohJ I love mine!!
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->We have the Graco Modes Nest Travel System and have liked it. It’s $400 but the Graco Modes Pramette Travel System looks really similar and is $300!
r/Mommit • Best AFFORDABLE car seat travel system for 2 month old? ->Been using Graco nest travel system. Can be bassinet for newborn too
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->Second a Graco! We have the modes nest travel system. Infant car seat fits into it and it has a bassinet feature that converts into a chair and grows with them until they no longer need a stroller. It’s lightweight, super easy to open and close, and affordable (originally $399, bought for $299 when target ran a $100 off sale and came with the infant car seat and base). Baby can face you or away from you. The seat slides towards you and away from you on the frame (this is especially nice when baby is small you can bring them all the way to the top and be super close). There’s TONs of storage space under it which most brands lack. You’ll see people recommending newer brands or more expensive ones and if that’s your preference then go for it. I, however, wanted a brand that was reputable and around for a long time as I didn’t want to deal with recalls or issues finding replacement parts if I ever needed them. I also don’t understand the car seat convertible strollers like Doona. They’re expensive, tiny (so short!), heavy especially as baby grows, and don’t grow with baby? Plus you’re always going to be putting dirty wheels in your vehicles seats. A lot of them are very similar you just pay more for the name.
r/BabyBumps • Confused by strollers, what do you recommend? ->This is what we have and LOVE it. Only downside is it’s a little big and we have a small SUV so it takes up the entire trunk basically lol.
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->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.
r/BabyBumps • Confused by strollers, what do you recommend? ->I second this! We absolutely love this stroller, and the amount of storage under the toddler seat is amazing. It’s a little big, but we have a Traverse, so space in the car wasn’t/isn’t a problem for us.
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->We have the 35 XT for the load leg and have been really happy with it so far. We got the ready 2 jet instead of just the stroller base, it’s an extra $30 but we figured we would be able to use it longer. We were gifted the fast action jogging stroller and have used it with the car seat, the seat comes completely off so it functions just like the stroller base pictured. If I could have redone it, I would have opted for the nest stroller to have the bassinet seat.
r/BabyBumps • Hoping to hear some opinions on the graco snugline and its accompanying stroller base. I’m torn on which we should go with for our baby. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
