Loved it at first but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've received this stroller thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel since I was really interested in it having my 4th child just recently! Once the product arrived, unboxing was a breeze, installation was super easy even those whom hate assembly can swiftly put it altogether. My first impression of this stroller was TALL. I'm a short person (5'2-157 cm) and this stroller is nearly my height. The seat is really spacious for a toddler that my four years old gets a little lost in it (she's petite herself though with an average height and weighs 17 kg) her younger sister (2 years old, weighs 13 kg) hopped on - rather squished her- and it was surprisingly moderate while maneuvering it around. However the seating is so big that the snack bar was above her head level so I'm unsure if I assembled it right or my kids are too small. Everything aside, you can turn the stroller with a little force by one hand easily. The brakes are somewhat sturdy. The stroller itself isn't really as lightweight as Ive hoped but folding/unfolding is fast to figure them out. The wheels are good but the front ones need a strong push for them to step over hurdles as they tend to get stuck easily. The canopy is really nice and it goes a long way, protecting our little ones from the heat adequately. The cup holder is neat I use it for my phone haha. The storage underneath is really refreshing since it's wide enough for my two years old to lay down there with her legs stretched out which is a big WIN for me since I tend to overpack!! Closing the stroller and carrying it around can be a little awkward with the seat being in the way. I'd recommend this stroller occasionally but would not call it lightweight. But convenient to feel like you're really close to your kid. Feels more like a moving chair than a stroller honestly.
Pretty Good Stroller with Cool Features, but ...
I received the Graco Modes (TM) Next Stroller to review through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This stroller has some pretty cool features, but there are some things that I think could be better. I'll start with the features that I thought were great! I love that you can slide the seat up and down on the frame. You have the flexibility to keep baby riding lower to ground or to move baby up closer to you. I think this is an excellent feature, especially if you have a younger baby riding in the stroller and you want to bring them up closer to Mom or Dad. I found this to be SUPER helpful at restaurants when high-chairs aren't available. We just raised the seat up the frame and pushed baby up to the table! I also love that you can switch the seat to front or back facing. Older babies may want to look around and people watch in the forward facing mode, but sometimes babies get over-stimulated, tired, fussy, or just bored and switching them to the back facing mode allows them to focus on you and less on the environment. I also love that the stroller converts from a bassinet to a big kid seat! My little one is older so we didn't use this feature, but you can also clip any Graco infant car seat on to the frame as well. Moving the seat up and down the frame, from forward to backward facing, and off and on the frame itself is super easy! The seat is lightweight so it would be easy for a busy parent to switch if they are on their own with their kiddos. I also fell in love with the HUGE storage basket under the seat. There is so much room to stash diaper bags, purses, blankets, whatever you may need to bring along. With all of that being said there are some things I'd love to see improved upon. I wish the push handle was adjustable. It was a little low for me and low enough to be uncomfortable for my husband. I also wish there was an all-terrain tire option. I also found folding up the stroller to be a little difficult. You need both hands to fold the stroller down and it didn't fold as compactly as I wish it would have. The last thing I'll mention is with how light weight the frame was it sometimes made the stroller seem a little bit unstable, especially when going up and down curbs and steps. I'd prefer a little heavier stroller that feels more sturdy when pushing around my little one. Overall, I do think this is a great stroller, especially for families with younger babies and lots of items to tote!!
Great, until it wasn’t
I bought this a few months ago before my son was born. Worked great for his first 2 months and now the stroller will not stay upright when folded. This makes storage a challenge and getting the stroller in and out alone an issue. I was expecting this to last for years, not 2 months.
My favorite stroller
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been a graco mom since my oldest daughter 13 years ago. 6 months ago I welcomed my 3rd baby, and I already knew in my mind I wanted the Graco mode stroller. This Graco mode nest stroller is the latest on the mode market, and it absolutely love the sliding feature. Especially when I'm out and about shopping. The large basket underneath can hold so many bags. I love the sliding ability to bring baby closer to me for a quick feed, or when dad is pushing since he's taller. I highly recommend!
Amazing Stroller
Amazing stroller!!!! I love the luxury with the affordable price tag. My little loves the stroller he is always so comfortable. The large basket is a huge plus I can fit his diaper bag or anything else we need. I highly recommend this stroller!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing stroller
[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!
So convenient!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. It's lightweight and fits in the car easily. The feature she likes best though is that she can have the baby facing either way, her previous stroller didn't have that. The bottom is able to hold enough that you don't even need hooks to attach your diaper bag. I wish it came in more girly colors but perhaps in the future. Overall I would recommend this stroller.
Not too happy
The stroller is comfortable in some point but the carset doesn’t bring enough support for the baby back is too deep. My baby body doesn’t have enough support for the head or for his body I have to put extra things on him because he does not feel comfortable. He suffers from reflux and when I drive I have the tension that he will always vomit and I have to stop in the middle of the highway if necessary. My baby is one month old.
Love the adjustable options
[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.
Functional, and easy-to-use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this stroller for my first child. It is easy for me to pack it in the car and open/close it myself. It’s a little bulky, but that’s to be expected. I love that I can turn the seat around to face away from the sun, but this is sometimes a little difficult to do when I’m using it alone. The basket on the bottom holds everything perfectly! Overall, I am really happy with this stroller! Because of the pandemic, we didn’t use the bassinet feature much.
