[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this stroller! Has much more storage than the other ones we looked at. It’s also nice that our graco infant seat clips right in. Would definitely recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently brought this stroller & it lives up to its expectations! I have nothing bad to say about this stroller. I’d definitely recommend!
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!
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.
Easy Stroller, especially if you have an older Sib

[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
I received this stroller as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. All opinions are my own
[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!
