Fantastic stroller
on February 14, 2020
Posted by: LG12
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I am so glad that I did. Overall, it is a fantastic stroller. The bassinet feature would be perfect with a newborn/infant, and I sure wish I had this when my littles were that young! It is very easy to switch from seat to bassinet and back. It also works with a ClickConnect infant car seat. My car seat clicked in with ease. Having the ability to flip the seat around to face me is so nice, especially during the separation anxiety phase or when baby gets a bit overwhelmed by their surroundings. My absolute favorite part of this stroller has to be the ability to move the seat up a bit higher. This feature will come in so handy for out many trips to the zoo. With other strollers, my child would never have a decent view of the animals while sitting in the stroller, but with the ability to raise the seat, she will be able to see so much more! A few other perks I must mention include the ENORMOUS (and even expandable) basket and the ease of steering. My 3-year-old could sit in the basket under the seat comfortably (this is only for size reference; I didn’t actually put my child in the basket!) I never have to worry about dragging too much stuff along with us on our adventures. The basket is so roomy, and it is so easily accessible, especially with the seat raised. The stroller is very well balanced and steers with ease. It lovely to be able to push my 1-year-old with one hand, and still be able to hold my 3-year-old's hand.
I really like the features of this stroller, but felt one thing was really lacking, especially given the price: there is not a parents' console. There is only one small cup holder, which doesn’t seem too stable. I really would like to have had a full tray/cup holder area to put a drink or two, my phone, and my keys. Even a zippered pocket built into the canopy for phone and keys would have been better than nothing. It is not ideal to have to throw my keys into the giant basket then have to find them again later. If the stroller was upgraded to include a better parents' tray option, I’d say this is the perfect stroller from birth on.

Love the Versatility!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My youngest son (1½ years old) has reached that point in his toddlerhood that he strongly dislikes long stroller rides. Then there's my oldest son who is very tall for his age (3½ years old), to the point that his feet drag on the wheels when he rides in a stroller. 2 significant struggles when you're trying to keep kids happy when out and about.
When I received the Modes Nest from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to try and review, I was immediately impressed with 2 of it's features: adjustable facing (perfect for my youngest) and adjustable height (for my oldest). Today we ran some errands with my youngest and tried both forward and rear facing! We put him in the highest position and it was easy to interact with him and he was able to hold hands with my husband as we strolled down the aisles of one of our favorite stores! But when he was forward facing, he kept asking for mama or dada when we would go out of sight. At our second store, we switched it to rear facing and you could tell he enjoyed that more because he could see us! He was high enough up that we could interact without having to bend over too much!
I really loved the height of the push bar, it was the perfect height for me! It also had a nice cushion on it to keep your hands comfortable. I'm amazed at how easy it was to fold up, open, adjust the seat heat and switch seating direction! It was very easy to maneuver, most of which I could easily do with one hand, super important when you have 2 small humans to watch over! Also, there was a large cargo space on the bottom, a deficiency that most strollers I've used in the past have had. The fact that a large tote or diaper bag can fit nicely without being crammed in, I think is a big plus for me!
There were only a few things that I wish were a little different. There's only one cup holder for adults and it's not movable, the position where it's at is fine when the seat is forward facing, but I could see him grabbing at it when he's rear facing. The cup holder on the child's tray is not large enough for their water cups, so during the summer I could see that being an issue with keeping their bottles in the stroller. It would be nice if the trays and arms that connect it were all one piece, instead of 3 separate pieces that need to be removed to make it more compact.
I can't wait to really put this to use this spring when we're able to go on more walks outside!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy Stroller, especially if you have an older Sib
on February 23, 2020
Posted by: ElleJPeaBee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Logistics: amazing travel stroller! Wish I had this with number one. It’s been great for number two and even easier to use when my toddler is running around.
Assembly Factors: EASY, but then again I don’t usually use manuals. But if I did it without one, then it’s going to be really easy if you read the manual cover to cover. The wheels were a little tricky, but again I like to put things together and see if I can do it without the manual.
Awesome Factors: very easy to fold down and open up. Easy to take turns, smooth ride and easy to get up over small lips and curbs.
The basket on the bottom is easily accessible and you can store A LOT in there. So if you live in an urban area, this is your basket. The upright seat is way to face forward and backward, with different height levels! This is a plus as your child grows

Annoying Factors: the harness- all points need to be attached and then re-attached. You can’t keep the bottom points close. IE: easy slip in and out.
It’s not a compact stroller, so if you have a large trunk, then you’re good to go. But we cannot put this in the sedan trunk only our SUV

BEAUTIFUL !!
on March 8, 2020
Posted by: Lele89
Easy to put together. I did it on my own 7 months pregnant. Lol to say I did it fast would be a lie BUT it was easy. The stroller is just BEAUTIFUL. Stroller seat to bassinet mode is as easy as one hand pull or push forward . To open it WITH seat attached is NOT easy as I thought. You need to two hand pull and push both side handles but for one set back as this I would still choose this stroller. The bottom is huge and has ALOT of space. The handle bar is nice and smooth.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stylish, practical, and budget friendly stroller
on April 18, 2020
Posted by: VictoriaN
After months of research that had me considering shelling out the cash for an Uppababy or Mockingbird stroller, I was very excited to see that Graco came out with a comparable stroller - both in style and function. The aesthetics are very pleasing without being impractical - I love the faux leather handle, clean lines, and the lightness of the sleek aluminum frame. This stroller has a leg-up on the competition based on one particular feature: the seat turns into a bassinet. I am able to comfortably take my infant on walks around the neighborhood in the bassinet, and just as easily detach the bassinet/seat from the frame so I can take the frame along with me on trips to the store where I attach my infant carrier. I appreciate that this stroller has variable height options for the seat/bassinet/infant carrier so that I can easily reach down and adjust my baby’s clothing, etc. while on the go. The stroller is easy to handle for being full size, it is so easy even on solo trips to the store. Overall, after 3+ months of use, I highly recommend this stroller!
