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 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.
Graco modes was the best choice we made!
We 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.
Same system we got! Love it and the versatility. The seat fits my almost 2 year old really well still
I'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.
I 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.
I had the Graco pramette with my first and I LOVED it. Personally I would talk to your MIL
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!
