Great for first time parents or urban dwellers
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: MamaO3
So I was given the Graco Modes Nest stroller from Stellar Product Reviews to try out. It came with a stroller seat that can be converted into a bassinet. Everything came in one gigantic box and assemble was pretty easy even with a preschooler and a first grader trying their best to distract me. Upon completion, I let our 11 month old test it out. Here are our thoughts:
-Nice option for completely flat naps when on the go, however in order to convert from sitting to laying, someone needs to hold the baby.
-Stroller glides across various surfaces smoothly and is easy to maneuver.
-I loved that we could place the seat facing us or street facing.
-I am a petite person so it was nice to be able to adjust the seat at various heights.
-The basket underneath is gigantic and perfect when running errands.
-Although it is always nice to have a cupholder, having it on the side of the stroller (as pictured) isn't convenient as it easily falls off if bumped...maybe place it at the handle as with previous models.
-We love the faux leather handle when pushing the stroller, however I am a petite person so it was at an awkward height for me to push whereas it was perfect for my 5'10 tall husband...I felt like my 6 year old pushing a stroller.
-If you are familiar with Graco strollers, then you can probably find the latch to unfold the stroller without any hesitation. Sadly we struggled with finding the latch and unlatching it all the time, guess we will have to continue to use it until we get the hang of it.
-If you have a smallish trunk, removing the seat/bassinet allows you to place the frame in easily and then tuck the seat/bassinet next to it.
-If you do not remove the seat/bassinet and you fold it, the inside part of the seat where baby sits/sleeps is completely exposed so probably not a good stroller for checking in at an airport gate without a bag.
-We have a three kiddo household so being able to fold up a stroller quickly and corral the older kids into the van is crucial; with the difficulty of finding the latch and using both hands it is a bit cumbersome.

Overall although I wanted to love love this stroller, it just isn't the right fit for our family. However, I do think it would be perfect for first time parents, parents/caregivers taking baby out into the neighborhood strolls to nap in bassinet mode, or running errands in the city without having to fold/unfold it multiple times.

Amazing must have stoller
on February 5, 2020
Posted by: Naviles07
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought the Modes™ Nest Stroller and let me tell you that this Stroller is a must for All Moms. I have had many different Graco strollers form single, and double to now the Modes™ Nest Stroller and I have never been more satisfied. Th his stroller is light and has amazing qualities like the large canopy to make sure my little one is covered when we are out and about exploring the world. Thanks Graco for making such amazing product.
Note: This is my personal experience and did not get paid to review I just really love this stroller. From: A mother of four beautiful girls.

Cheap and frustrating to use
on October 24, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I would highly not recommend this item. The car seat handle constantly gets stuck, and the stroller is so cheap and difficult to manage/ move. The social media influencers make it look easy to use, but it’s just a pain all around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this stroller originally thinking it converted to a two seater. It doesn’t, however still does what we need it to for right now. The stroller is easy set up and install. The basket is sturdy and spacious, wheels do well in grass-gravel-paved. The seat itself feels a bit wobbly the way it suspends in the air, but is stable and hasn’t come loose. I like that the seat can flip back and forth and even lie flat for naps. The cons would be driving it in stores and turning the stroller around in a store aisle (like clothing store) can be a bit challenging. Otherwise I love this stroller!

Love the adjustable options
on February 5, 2020
Posted by: Carolniss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I just brought home our first child and were set on having a travel system, but also wanted a set that would grow with our little one. I love that the SnugRide goes up to 35 pounds, and that with both the car seat or the regular seat, there is a ton of room underneath. We like to walk to the park in our neighborhood, and we can bring everything we need just with this stroller. The infant bassinet option was the real seller for me though- having a place to let him safely sleep, comfortable, since they aren't supposed to sleep in the car seat for extended periods of time was something I loved.

Amazing stroller
on February 5, 2020
Posted by: Nataliea144
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved graco strollers and this stroller has all the features of some expensive brands out there but it comes at a fraction of the cost. I absolutely love the fact that you can adjust and bring the baby closer to you and of course the fact that it can still transform into a bassinet is great for newborn stages. This stroller has the capacity to change from front to back so you can change the seat facing you or facing the other way. The brakes are amazing and the fact that it comes so sturdy I love that that it won’t break so easily. Adjusting it and folding it so easy as well. Well done graco!

The most cumbersome poor quality stroller
on March 23, 2022
Posted by: Ebby
from Long Island, NY
I have been using this stroller for ten months now. First of all, the baby has to be removed when moving from a laying to sitting position so, if you were hoping to be able to gently lay a baby who drifted off mid walk, look elsewhere. It takes up a ton of space when folded. And the bassinet has to be removed to fold it. It’s a two handed fold and doesn’t stand when folded. Neither of which seemed like a major issue until baby became more mobile. Now it’s a nightmare. The straps are also extremely cumbersome. The shoulder pads come off way too easily, the waist straps are attached in the perfect location for baby to sit on and they take so long to insert the shoulder strap into the waist strap before bucking it into the buckle. About 2 months into use, the wheels started squeaking. Rust is now appearing on the (now loose) metal caps on the front wheels. Other parts of the stroller also revealed to be flimsy: one of the mechanisms to collapse the stroller triggers much more easily than the other and one side of the stroller handle feels a bit lower than the other when baby is in the uppermost slide to me position. Super disappointed. Buy ANY other stroller.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A stroller that grows with you
on February 7, 2020
Posted by: Tiffanydawn89
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was able to try out the new Graco Modes Nest Stroller. The stroller was easy to maneuver and I loved all the extra features, such as facing forward or backward and being able to raise or lower the seat. Although I don’t currently have an infant, I especially loved the bassinet mode, and how easy it was to transition from bassinet to toddler mode. The extra large basket underneath was another great touch. This stroller is very large and doesn’t fold up as small as I would like, but it is surprisingly light. Overall I think it has great features for a very reasonable price.
