Good stroller but not great
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: Chays
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller to try as part of the stellar product testing panel. I wanted to love this stroller because of many of the features it offered but unfortunately, some of them didn’t work quite as well as I’d hoped. There were still many things I really enjoyed that made this a good stroller though.
Pros:
-Having a newborn and a 2 year old, it was very convenient to be able to easily switch back and forth between the toddler seat to a bassinet depending which child I had with me. I loved that the seat converts to these settings as opposed to having to store a seperate bassinet while not using it like some other stroller brands I’ve see. The bassinet is very large and has plenty of room to grow into and change diapers in.
-The canopy provides plenty of shade in both the toddler and bassinet configurations.
-The attachments are all very functional and securely held my cell phone and coffee cup.
-The storage is very large with good clearance to the bottom of the seat so large items can sit in there.

Cons:
-My toddler loved having the snack tray but it is very far away from the seat. She could reach it but a smaller child could have trouble actually using it independently because of this. It was nice this was included standard though as many stroller brands only sell this as an add on.
-Because the toddler seat converts to a bassinet, the bottom where the child’s feet rest sticks out and is hard as opposed to being flush. My 2 year old is average height and her legs were already too long to stretch out completely so it may be uncomfortable for a taller child for a long period of time.
-The pads on the shoulder straps aren’t attached so they can fall off easily and get lost.

Great features make strolling a breeze!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the pleasure of testing the Graco Modes(TM) Pramette Stroller thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The stroller is relatively easy to assemble and directions for assembly and use are clear and user friendly. PROS: My LO loves the snack tray, I love the beverage and phone holders, easy to fold and unfold, lightweight and not bulky, large storage space underneath-- can easily fit diaper bag/blanket/lunch box/ball/etc., simple and sleek design and colors. While my LO rarely falls asleep in the stroller anymore, I love the recline option for the rare nap. Smooth ride around our neighborhood and running errands. CONS: Not the easiest stroller I've ever assembled, I prefer the harness shoulder / waist straps to be connected-- when you have a LO squirming, it can be challenging to get the waist straps into the shoulder strap connector. This is a PRO/CON depending on height but I'm 5'5 and the handle bar is perfect for my size, my husband is 6'5 and it's a little short for him. Overall I think this is a great stroller for the price point.

Great travel system to grow with baby
on February 17, 2020
Posted by: Lmgray15
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this travel system for my new baby. He’s 5 weeks, and with a 2.5 year old also at home, we were looking for something to be adaptable to our changing lifestyle. First of all, this stroller is great looking. The black with grey accents looks really sleek and expensive. This is the nicest looking stroller we have now. I have also never had a stroller with a bassinet option, and honestly, that’s my favorite thing about this travel system. The bassinet setup is easy and the sleep space is large and cozy. It fits my 5 week old easily, and will be able to fit him for a while. My plan is to take this stroller out and about this summer when baby is a little older, so he can easily nap while we’re out and about with his big brother. We just visited the grandparents for the weekend and since the pack n play was occupied by big brother, we used this as a safe sleep space and it was so nice to have. It is also great that this converts to a toddler stroller, so I can use it for either kid and it will grow with us. No point in having something take up space at this point if it isn’t multipurpose. I received this product for free from Stellar Product Testing Panel but the review is my own.

A solid travel system option
on February 23, 2020
Posted by: pete0003
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My husband and I both really like this travel system. First, it is a nice color that goes well with everything and the car seat is safe, lightweight, and easy to install. Also super easy to wash the padding and use without the base if necessary. We would give the car seat alone a 5/5! The stroller is light weight as well, not too wide, pretty easy to maneuver on city streets and it’s not bulky to travel with. The basinet mode is a nice added feature. The only reason I’m not rating this system 5/5 is because assembly did take a bit longer than other strollers we have used in the past, and it’s not as smooth of a ride as compared to others we’ve used in the past (eg this strollers wheels could benefit from a bit of shock protection). I also wish the brake system is easier to use, it takes a bit of effort to get the brake engaged. All in all though, it’s a really good option if you’re looking for a travel system without spending a fortune. I would recommend this product to others.
