Sophisticated stroller with great features!
on February 8, 2020
Posted by: breannem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Nest Modes stroller has tons of perks and is a great stroller for the price! The stroller has nice, clean lines and looks sophisticated. The very first thing I noticed is that compared to similar strollers, it has a very large seat, which is great for bigger babies/toddlers. The spf50 sunshade covers the entire seat, unlike on many other strollers. The storage basket beneath is also very large and easy to access, making this a great stroller for running errands! The adjustable height is an awesome feature that I haven't seen on other strollers before. I love this because depending on what we're doing, it's helpful to have the seat at different heights. I took my daughter for a walk in this stroller, and it was so nice to lower the seat to table height when we stopped for a snack. I really love being able to turn the seat to face either direction as well! While we're past the bassinet stage, I tested out switching the seat into bassinet mode just to see how it worked. It was much easier than I expected. The stroller was fairly easy to maneuver. I live in an old town with very bumpy sidewalks, and it struggled a bit to get over some of the bumps and curbs. On flatter terrain, however, it was very pleasant to push. I love that the adult cup holder and the child tray come with the stroller and aren't extra accessories to purchase. For a large stroller, this has a fairly compact fold and was easy to both open and fold up.
While this stroller has some amazing features, I did find a few cons. The snack tray is great but hard to flip up and difficult for my daughter to reach while buckled into the seat. While the handle of the stroller looks nice, it's slick and hard to get a good grip on. We live in a very hilly town and it worried me to not be able to get a secure grip on the handlebar.
Overall, this stroller has some great features, like the ability to adjust the seat height. With it's large basket, it's a great stroller for running errands but struggles on uneven terrain.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

Highly recommended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stroller rocks. Lots of great features! If you are a mama of 3 like me, one of the most important things you will look for in a stroller is compartment space. This thing has that by spades. I can fit my bag, their bag, some snacks, water bottles, blankets, and I would still have some space left. My tiny boy even climbed in (disclaimer, the bin is not for babies, he just wanted to fit in and out really quick), and since the space is huuuuge he fit right in! The craftsmanship is superb. The handle bars feel flush. It is a very neat feature that you can pull the seat up and down depending how you want it. The seat can convert quite easily into a big bassinet that can fit my one year old AND my small two year old. The seat can also be flipped front to back. So many options! There is also a cup holder and snack tray. Assembly is a breeze. I did it with minimal help from the hubby and that speaks a lot on how easy the task is. It is easy to fold although it is a bit thick when folded. It is very easy to maneuver. We had our first graco stroller set 7 years ago and all I can say is Graco did a great job reinventing their products through the years. Highly recommended! Thanks Stellar Panel for letting me try this superb product.

Great Versatile Stroller
on February 9, 2020
Posted by: mbakker
The Graco Modes Nest Stroller is great! Set up was fairly simple. I was impressed with how simple it is to switch between bassinet mode, stroller mode, and removing the seat to insert my infant car seat. My favorite part is that it is so easy to put the infant seat onto this stroller! This is so convenient. The basket on the bottom allows for a lot of storage space, especially when the seat is raised. I love pushing the stroller. It glides easily and feels so light to push. I have tried it with my infant and toddler, and they are both comfortable and enjoy riding in it. Collapsing the stroller and setting it back up takes some getting used to - it is not as simple as I had hoped. The biggest con for me is the snack tray. It is difficult to put on and take off, and it just seems to be in the way. I will likely just leave it off and at home most of the time. The ability to adjust the height of the seat is a nice feature, but in my mind it is not necessary. Overall, I think it is a great stroller. Thanks so much Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller!

Super smooth
on February 9, 2020
Posted by: Cawilss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! What a game changing stroller. Thank you stellar product testing panel for the chance to test out this stroller. I think when looking for a stroller it can be a daunting task. There are so many options and possibilities. What I LOVE about this stroller is that all of the possibilities are wrapped up in one. This stroller is super versatile, lightweight, stylish and the ride is smooth!! Because of the bassinet option, this stroller can be used from the beginning until toddlerhood. I am going to highlight a couple of my favorite features below.
1. The stroller has a bassinet mode which is amazing, but that’s not all! My favorite part about this stroller is that you don’t have to buy and “extra attachment”. The bassinet transforms into the seat for the toddler! How convenient. For parents this is great because you don’t have extra parts laying around and it saves you money!
2. The changeable heights. This is great especially postpartum. It bring the baby to a comfortable level for you! (Or your hubby).
3. The storage basket under the stroller is HUGE!! I have a toddler and a baby so it nice to have lots of space to store our things!
4. You can use your graco car seat in this stroller. So you have a travel system and it’s super easy in and out of the car to the store or wherever you need to go!!
5. Lastly the ride is so smooth! It’s so easy to turn even with my toddler in the seat! I never have to struggle with turning or pushing uphill.
These are just a few reasons I love this stroller. If you’re looking for a stroller to last, I definitely recommend this one! From start to finish it will have you covered.

Great options!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love taking walks with my baby and she loves it, too, and I'm really happy with this stroller, it is top-notch in quality and design.
First, it is made really well. It's a full-size stroller with real metal, clever design, rugged and strong without compromising on it being so easy to use. It rolls along very smoothly -- the big soft wheels smooth out the ride very nicely, even at a jog. It's very easy to steer and turn, as tightly or gently as I need to do. The seat and/or bed is really well thought out and designed. They're made with fabric, and they convert quickly and simply, from a baby bed to a toddler stroller. The whole seat raises, lowers, or tilts. The bed can lay flat, like an old-fashioned baby carriage or bassinet, which would be great for newborns. When we go out on a walk and my daughter falls asleep in the fresh air, I just let her stay asleep for a nap in the stroller when we get home. As my baby grows, I really love how the seat can adjust with her. Plus, there is a big, roomy place to carry a baby bag and what-have-you in the hammock area, underneath the stroller. And the baby bed/seat moves up or down, to one of three settings, to whatever works best for you and it's really easy to slide and lock it into place. Excellent stroller!

Great versatile stroller!
on February 10, 2020
Posted by: Fosse82
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. I am mom of two children (4 and 2) and I have used many strollers over the past few years. The Modes Nest Stroller is definitely a great stroller to use. The adjustable seat is a great feature that is not found on many strollers (if any!) and I love the ability to have my baby up closer to me and facing in either direction.
Here are what I found as pros and cons:
PROS:
1. Super Lightweight and easy to manuveur
2. Completely versatile with the adjustable seat (both in height and direction!)
3. LOVE that there is a bassinet option without having to purchase an additional piece
4. LOVE that you can use a car seat on this stroller
5. Folds up easy

3. LOVE that there is a bassinet option without having to purchase an additional piece
4. LOVE that you can use a car seat on this stroller
5. Folds up easy
CONS:
1. Even though it folds up easy, I have other strollers that fold a little tighter that this one. I drive a Toyota Corolla and right now I can fit a wagon and my other single stroller just fine. The Nest does not fit in my trunk with the wagon, the wheels don't close flat enough. With that said, with no wagon in there it has plenty of room!
2. The stroller says it fits a toddler up to 50 lbs. My daughter is two (35 inches tall and about 29 lbs) and she does not fit in this stroller, she is already too big. I would say an infant to a very young toddler is realistic.
3. The seat was a little more flimsy for a heavier child. I think it would be fine for a smaller child/infant. However, when you push down a bit on the seat, it just feels like the seat is not that sturdy.
4. It was not as easy to put together as other strollers I have. In my experience, I have only had to pop wheels in. The Nest has pins and other parts to add the wheels to the base. Not a deal breaker but not a plus.
5. The parent cup holder is small and down on the side, I had to buy an add-on cup holder attachment to properly hold my items on the handle.
