Nice stroller for younger kids
on February 10, 2020
Posted by: Kmet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be upfront, I recieved this stroller from Stellar Product Testing Panel.
It was a little hard to figure out how to put together but once that was done it's a nice stroller. I like that the car seat can be used directly on the frame. The bassinet feature is nice as well. The cell phone holder is a nice touch. Overall this is a good stroller for younger kids and is customizable to what you need.

Easy stroller with amazing functionality!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stroller!! Its lightweight and super easy to fold up for storage or to put in the trunk of my car. It feels more solid than my previous stroller even though it doesn't weigh nearly as much which is awesome! My daughter is just a little over the weight limit for the bassinet mode so we didn't get a chance to test it out, but it seems like it would be really nice to use and we'll definitely be using it with our next child! We mainly used it with the toddler seat facing outwards, but it definitely came in handy to have the option of rear facing when it got a little bit colder outside. My favorite thing about the Modes Pramette Stroller is its functionality; It can do so much and still be simple and easy to use. My daughter loved the stroller more than I expected, I honestly think it's what made her like stroller rides in general because she never got as excited with previous strollers we've used like she does with this one! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

Great system with options.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This travel system has a very sleek, modern look and a great price. The materials look and feel very durable. Assembly was quick and easy with the manual. I have a 6 week old and a toddler and both really enjoy riding in it. My youngest loves to stretch out so the basinet configuration is great for taking walks around the neighborhood. I use it mostly as a travel system. The very light car seat is easy to install and easy to take in and out of the car. I love that this stroller comes with all the needed accessories like a snack tray, cup holder and cellphone holder. Very easy to close with one hand. Cons: Brakes are not flip-flop friendly. The canopy on the car seat seems oversized. Opening and closing is a constant battle with the handle. Carrying the car seat with the canopy pulled over is awkward. It is flexible so that you can squeeze your hand or arm in to carry the seat. The stroller canopy is very nice but when fully open it doesn’t stay in place very well. It would fall back and lock half way most of the time. The stroller folds larger than other systems I have used. Over all, it’s a great system for the money.

Great stroller for a great price!

I was really pleasantly surprised by the Graco Modes(TM) Pramette Stroller. They've really outdone themselves making an inexpensive stroller look and function so closely to the really expensive high end strollers.
I always want my babies facing me when they are in the bassinet or under 6 months, something the old Gracos don't do, but this one does splendidly.
The infant bassinet mode is such a simple switch, no fiddling with separate frames, one buckle opened or closed to switch between bassinet and toddler seat.

The biggest downside was the amount of time it took to set up the stroller. I had my husband do it and it took him much longer than expected, and he is quite handy.
Once it was set up though, my toddler jumped right in, and he hasn't wanted to get out since! He loves going out for strolls, and it is a dream to push, or to sit in it in the house as his own private play space protected from his sister just a year older than him.
The one hand fold is so easy, and it is extremely light for taking in and out of the car. The basket is super large, easy to fit everything I need in and not have to search for what I want.

I most look forward to using the stroller for my newborn. I am due soon TG, and love the flexibility of bassinet or toddler seat. I am going to look to see if I can get a suitable mattress for extra padding, but if not, I'll make do with the way it is now.
I love that I can so easily switch back and forth between a great seat and bassinet without hassle.

Car seat does not click to stroller easily

I purchased the Grace modes for our second baby and I got this specific one because of the different ways you can change the stroller and use the bassinet. My only problem is that it is a pain to get the car seat to connect to the stroller. You have to keep moving it until you hear a click, which takes a while. If you’re not careful the car seat can fall off the stroller. We tested this before the baby came and we put a little bit of weight on the car seat to see if it stayed and I DIDN’T.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this lightweight stroller. Only cons are the cup holder and phone holder easily move/flip over. I would rather have the top tray with cup and phone holder.

Great stroller

My first stroller as I am a first time mom. The stroller and car seat are super light and I love the pram feature. My baby loves it and falls asleep in it all the time. I even recently took this to the airport on my baby’s first flight! Made going through the airport a breeze.

A safety concern!
on October 4, 2023
Posted by: Frustrated1disappointed
The basinet is very unsafe for newborns!!!!!! It keeps tilting to the back and when i put my baby in it his head was waaay lower than his feet level! I tried to put the seat up a little so it would even out and yet it still was lower head side! My baby was lifting his feet up and because it was hanging lower on his head side his feet came to his face and was about to fall backwards if I haven’t caught him! It was horrible and a terrifying experience specially for a new mom! I hope they recall this model or at least try to fix it and make it steadier, not like doll’s stroller!
