Very versatile
on February 11, 2020
Posted by: Smojarro
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Graco Modes Pramette travel system and it is a very good stroller. It came in a easy to remove box without a lot of extra packing. It was easy to assemble and came with a infant car seat. The car seat was easy to install in my car and the buckles adjusted nicely and easily. The stroller is able to be in 3 different situations. One is to carry the infant car seat, the next is for my infant to sit up, and the last is the bassinet mode which is my favorite position because it makes it easy for my child to be comfortable and able to take a nap. It adjusts smoothly. The wheels have locks that are easy to engage and keeps the stroller secured. Pushing the stroller is very smooth and it doesn't wobble. It even comes with a place for a little storage
I would recommend this to a friend!

A versatile and lightweight stroller!
on February 15, 2020
Posted by: vmartinez716
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. Assembly was pretty straightforward and I was able to do it on my own in less than thirty minutes. It is also surprisingly light given its size. My tall 2.5 year old was comfortable sitting in the stroller when configured as a seat, and my 3 month old fit securely in the bassinet configuration. My toddler liked that she could choose to face us or face away. While my infant seemed comfortable enough, I generally prefer a travel system. I did not test the configuration that would allow me to use it with an infant car seat given that I don’t think my seat would have been compatible, but it would have been very convenient!! Given how light the frame is, it holds up pretty well to bumpy sidewalks. It was mostly easy to maneuver too. Overall a great stroller!

Lightweight & compact!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this travel system for our daughter! The car seat is light, which I definitely appreciated after my C-section as I was not supposed to carry a lot of weight. The stroller is also lightweight and gas great features! We were drawn to this stroller for the bassinet feature. We put our daughter down for walks and she naps peacefully while getting some fresh air. The stroller is also easy to fold and unfold. I feel like I could do it with one hand if I tried, which is great for any mom who already has their hands full with their little one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bassinet faces forward

The stroller will not fold with bassinet facing toward you and the canopy keeps popping off. Seems all the 5 star reviews received the product for free. It is a decent stroller but too many issues for the price.

Not satisfied

We bought this travel system for our first baby and every since we started using it we saw some problems with it.
The carrier sometimes doesn’t click to the stroller you have to take it off and on until it clicks. Also when we want to take the carrier off from the car seat base it gets stuck, and then the bassinet doesn’t feel sturdy. It seems to always feel wobbly when we use it. I really wanted to love this stroller but i just can’t /:

Okay product
on July 2, 2023
Posted by: ATitus
Have had this for 4 months now and not that impressed. The car seat is already hard to get out of the base so you have to use both hands and really heave it out of the base to release. The handle of the stroller creaks and does not feel sturdy, same thing when the car seat is in the stroller, it feels a little wobbly and unsafe. The infant car seat just doesn’t seem to have much padding for baby unlike other car seats I’ve seen that have a lot of padding to help with baby’s head/neck. Overall, wouldn’t recommend this product.

Disappointed in stroller
on December 14, 2023
Posted by: Pramette not functional
from Texas
Car seat worked great for us but the stroller not so much. When we purchased this Graco system, we were very excited for the multi use system, specifically the pramette. Sadly, the pramette is hardly functional. When we put the baby in the pramette mode, his head tilts lower than his feet, making it unsafe for him to be in there. And yes, we have tried a number of times to make it work by scooting him lower so that his feet would be lower than his head but it’s simply not functional.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for reaching out to Graco Baby. We are sorry to hear about the issue you have experienced with your Modes Pramette. When in pramette mode, your little one must be fully harnessed and positioned towards the lower end of the pramette seat for proper use. When your little is positioned too high, it can cause the pramette to lean head down. I hope this helps!

Bulky, hard to use
on May 13, 2024
Posted by: M559
from Orange cove
I have had this travel system for a year so i can give be fair with my review. The stroller is very bulky. It will not stand up if you want to fold it. The pram part is very wobly. When you want to have it as a regular seat it is hard to click the straps back in to give it that seat shape. Have to take baby off so you will need someone else to help. The cup holder adds to the bulkyness by being in the way. The stroller and carseat canopy is very deep taking up space. You have to estimate the connection when adding seat or carseat to the stroller youll be there for a while making sure it clicks. Does not glide as easy as other models. When you have the carseat facing you in stroller it makes it hard to use the basket because of how low the carseat is to it. (Not an issue if its the seat t using). Baby had an accident and had to take off the carseat cover to wash and it was a nightmare take it off/putting on as the straps is secure by a metal bar i had to use a hammer to snap it back in place. So keep that in mind that removal of straps is not recommended. Only thing i liked is the color of the system and the look. I only bought this because i loved my graco modes click connect travel system and decided to give this a try (graco customer was no help in getting one similiar). I have this still because it was expensive and i cant afford the less bulky models.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
