"Im 4'9 so being super small, it was important that I could easily lift the stroller into my suv too and I'm able to with ease."
"i thought it be bulky / heavy but it’s super light ... It’s not too bulky or heavy ... it still doesn’t feel too heavy"
"It’s a super light jogging stroller than you can open, close, and handle with one hand."

"“Baby” is 13 months old now, the stroller has over 500 miles on it, and we still absolutely love it."
"We got the graco one and it lasted all 3 kids. Kids are 3 years apart."
"We have the pramette system, still going strong 15 months, 2 states, and 4 flights later! ... And 4 rounds of gate checking! (The stroller bit, at least)"

"the stroller will grow with him ... the graco grows with him ... by the time summer comes we will be able to use the stroller with the other attachment only"
"it lays down to a bassinet and then works for a toddler too"
"I like that it has the pram mode for infants and that the car seat can click into it, but then it also can be used as a normal stroller"

"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!!"
"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."
"My husband and I are both tall and it doesn’t feel like we’re hunched over on the handle or getting the car seat clicked in."

"The price is also really nice, i didnt feel like spending $500 on a doona that he would grow out of"
"I got the stroller, the infant bucket seat, and the car base for under 300 bucks."
"We went with the Graco pramette - cost us only $250 and has all the basics we needed (bassinet, car seat, toddler seat). ... If I eventually feel like I need to change to a different stroller, I’m not going to be mad at myself bc we only spent $250 on this first one. Much better than sinking $1k+ into a stroller!"

"the flimsy cup and phone holders. ... They sway instead of lock in place so my dogs leash is knocking stuff over."

"My only serious complaint is that it takes up almost all of the trunk space in my subcompact car."
"I have the Greco Modes Pramette with the car seat and it took up our entire trunk space."
"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."
Annual-One-5598 1.0I 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
BabyCowGT 1.0We have the pramette system, still going strong 15 months, 2 states, and 4 flights later!
Mines walking, but we still use our stroller daily. We have a Graco Modes pramette and a Graco ready2jet. The modes one is nicer, good for long walks and park outings, etc. The ready2jet is good for flying (it fits in Delta and American airlines overhead bins!) and just quick errands, cause it fits in the car better. If you have a big car, then a double would probably be a good idea, but if space in a limited commodity in your car, I'd hold off getting something giant until you need it. Plus strollers have a limited lifespan, I know my best friend had to replace theirs between #2 and #3, just cause the frame was giving out from the beatings #1 and #2 subjected that poor stroller to.
babypowder93 1.0Graco modes was the best choice we made!
Beanhead17 1.0Thank you!!! I ended up getting the graco trio traveler but i was also open to safety 1st. Yeah 2k on a stroller he can’t even use for a year and im not planning to have more kids for another 3/4 years didn’t feel like the best investment 😭
Yes! I got the trio and i love it so far! Baby is getting a bit bigger and by the time summer comes we will be able to use the stroller with the other attachment only. I saw and felt how the doonas were and they felt some cheap / plasticky. Can’t ever go wrong with what you know!
https://a.co/d/bPauLp4 I got this one and I’m satisfied with it so far! It’s not too bulky or heavy and now that the baby is almost 2 months old i feel like i can still take him in and out from the car easily. I like the storage it’s spacious, and the fact that the stroller will grow with him, it’s also super easy to put away since I’m a sahm I’m usually alone running errands with him. The price is also really nice, i didnt feel like spending $500 on a doona that he would grow out of and i wasn’t planning on having another baby anytime soon, so far so good!
catladyallday 1.0We have been happy with the Graco modes system. We used the bassinett and it was definitely convient during the newborn stage. We have also flown with the system three times and it was pretty easy to navigate around airports and gate check, even though it is kinda bulky. The bassinett is a seperate purchase, we asked for it as a gift.
Eisbest 1.0Same system we got! Love it and the versatility. The seat fits my almost 2 year old really well still
geummeori 1.0I've been using a "bulky" stroller (Graco Modes Pramette travel system) since my 18 month old was born. We even brought him home from the hospital in it. If you love your current stroller and you're able to bring it, I recommend doing so! After you get here and baby is a little older, you can look into getting a smaller more portable stroller for certain types of trips out of the house. Our big stroller has been fantastic for long, daily, leisure walks around our home and for shopping trips. The biggest problem you'll encounter is trying to use the elevators since many of the old people will aggressively rush in front of you or just outright cut you in line, but having to wait for the second or third elevator isn't the end of the world, just an inconvenience. Many store or restaurant interiors are also quite narrow and will not fit a stroller, but you'll get a good feel for the places you can comfortably use your stroller or not around your home.
h0kie16 1.0I have the Graco modes and kind of hate it. The bassinet was just okay, it never seemed to lay fully flat, but I hate it as a toddler seat. No matter how much I adjust it my baby is always at a weird angle and slides down. The brakes also started to get stuck around 10 months.
idowithkozlowski 1.0I had the Graco pramette with my first and I LOVED it. Personally I would talk to your MIL
