Nous sommes très insatisfaits de cette poussette
on March 3, 2022
Posted by: AnyGerm
from Québec, Qc
Nous avons acheté ce système de voyage avant la venue de notre premier enfant. Cela fait maintenant 6 mois que nous l’utilisons et la poussette est déjà défectueuse. Elle est rouillée au niveau des roues, elle grince et elle est extrêmement difficile à manoeuvrer. C’est impossible de contourner des objets ou presque, nous devons souvent replacer les roues d’en avant à la main pour aller dans la direction voulu. Cette usure est selon nous anormale après seulement 6 mois d’utilisation. Nous sommes très déçus de cette poussette et ne la recommandons pas.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Well made and durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Graco Stroller through Steller program and I love it! I will say that the process of putting it together felt like a bigger hassle than other strollers in the past, but in the end it was very much worth it I promise! It rides and turns so smoothly and swiftly, takes bumps and cracks in the sidewalk like a champ, I have yet to wake my son up doing so.
Switching the directions of the seat as well as turning the seat into the bassinet could not be any easier! This is my first stroller to have those features and it truly is a game changer. My baby absolutely loves it; he can just lay down, stretch out and play with his toys. The bassinet feature is my favorite part of the entire stroller!
The basket underneath is super roomy and deep, my wife is able to keep her purse and diaper bag backpack, with room to spare.
It folds super easy, and is lightweight enough to where she could lift it and put it in the back of our truck without my help!
Of course I love that it comes with a cupholder tray for parents. By far love this stroller

Great stroller!
on February 10, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Modes Pramette as my main stroller for the last several weeks, and it has been great so far!
Pros: My babe is very comfortable in it, and it is easy for me to maneuver, even one-handed. There is lots of space in the storage basket, and you can easily change from one configuration to the next. My gal fell asleep while sitting up, and I was able to quietly lean her back and release under her knees to lay her in the bassinet configuration. The brake is easy to use and release, and the sunshade really covers baby well.
Cons: The stroller does not stay standing for a one-handed fold. It doesn't have the balance to do this with the seat in, but I have not tried it with the seat removed(we pretty much keep it in all the time). It's not the smallest once folded, but it is pretty lightweight, which is a huge plus. Lastly, the shoulder straps come easily detached from the waist buckle and it can be a struggle to fit the pieces together correctly when buckling your child in. If you have an extra wiggly kid, this may cause some undue stress when getting them into their seat.
Setup: It took me 30 minutes to put together the stroller, and I only had issues with one little piece on the wheels being hard to put in, but other than that, the directions were clear and anyone should be able to complete it.
I received this stroller from Stellar Parent Panel, and would highly recommend it to others. It looks high end, and feels high end, so you really can't beat it!

My "Wish List" Stroller
on February 10, 2020
Posted by: michelers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a different stroller for almost two years and really enjoying it. However, there were always a few features that I thought, "I wish my stroller.... XYZ." When I received the Modes stroller, it was as if someone decided to create a stroller from the wish-list in my head.
The Good:
- It's cute and basic. I like a stroller with clean lines. It's very neutral, which I love.
- The storage basket is huge. This was seriously a deficiency in my previous stroller and I'm ecstatic with how much I can realistically fit. I was able to put my large diaper bag, a blanket, some snacks, and still have a little room for extras.
- The multiple modalities of this stroller are amazing. The bassinet feature is key - this is something I really wished my first stroller had with my toddler. I never liked letting her sleep in the car seat, so I always had to move her. Now, I can let baby snooze safely after a walk.
- The reversible toddler seat is my dream. My two year old is in a total Velcro stage. She hates when she cannot see me and this means we haven't used our original stroller in months. When the Modes arrived, I put it together and we went on a walk immediately. She loved being able to see me and talk. She actually demanded we walk longer (which is a miracle).
- The one-handed fold is smooth and useful.
- The stroller came with a cup holder and phone holder, which work great.
- The stroller came with a snack tray - I loved that it has two cup holders because my toddler wants to double-fist milk and water at all times. The snack section actually holds a snack cup like a glove, too.

THE CHALLENGES:
- The stroller handles okay, but nothing like our first. You certainly can't push one-handed easily, which is a bummer (not a dealbreaker). This stroller wouldn't be a good fit for rough terrain or snow. I will use it primarily for sidewalks and indoors.
- The handlebar isn't adjustable and I found it to be too high for me. It's less comfortable, but again, not a dealbreaker.
- You can only fold the stroller with the toddler seat upright and forward facing, which means I have to flip the seat every time I open and close it. However, this is super easy to do, so it's a minor annoyance.
- This isn't terribly compact when folded. It fits in my trunk or closet, but takes up more room than I would ideally like.

Overall, I'm really pleased with this stroller. It will likely be our primary stroller, simply because the reversible toddler seat is a total game changer for my family. The extra-large basket and bassinet simply seal the deal.
Thank you to the Stellar Review Panel for providing me this stroller to try out!

Great multi use stroller
on February 10, 2020
Posted by: Afrench25
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when asked to demo the Graco modes travel system. I received this product complimentary from Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have 3 kids so I’ll be honest I consider myself an expert in strollers/car seats.
My first impression was great. The box was light! Yay! I could carry it in all by myself. I unloaded the stroller with the help of my 4.5 year old. She was very excited. We both loved the fabric- the gray had a very updated look to it and felt very on-trend. The stroller was so easy to put together- took less than 5 minutes. It was very self explanatory. Best part... the car seat snaps right on! No need to use any adapters. The toddler/bassinet was really spacious that I even have used it for my 4.5 year as a seat and my 4.5 month old as a bassinet. She still likes lying down and isn’t rolling so
It a spacious and cozy place for a nap while running errands.
The car seat/stroller frame is my favorite combo for me bc I’m a busy mom and run a lot of errands. The carseat snaps right into the frame which I mentioned. The car seat also has a large canopy which not all car seats have. Plus the carseat is a lot lighter than other car seats I’ve tried. The basket is huge for groceries, shopping, etc. A unique feature I feel other full size strollers lack is that of a one handed fold. I immediately noticed the one handed fold and was sold. It’s so easy to use. The base of the car seat was easy to install- had no issues.
I looked up the price point of this stroller combo and I was shocked to see it was reasonably priced for all it had to offer. This brand is safe, reliable, and affordable.
