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.
Super smooth
[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 versatile stroller!
[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 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. Overall, I would definitely suggest this as a stroller!
Great features but a little awkward
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great stroller with some awesome features, it’s just a little awkward for me. I’ve used a lot of strollers over the years and had some good things to compare this to. Being able to flip the seat from forward facing to rear facing was unmatched and I loved it (so did my toddler!). This would be great if you have an older baby/younger toddler who wants to sit in the seat but you want to see them. It was also incredibly easy to switch from a toddler seat to the bassinet. Being able to raise and lower the seat height is another great feature, my toddler loved being higher up than usual, it’s also super easy to change the height! The storage basket is HUGE! You can fit so much stuff in it, this is a definite plus if you’re going to use this stroller out and about. This also steers well, I was able to push while walking two dogs without too much issue; however, we live in a city with some bumpy sidewalks and I found the stroller didn’t handle cracks/rocks/bumps very well and I would often have to back up to get unstuck or push with a lot of oomph. If the sidewalks around you are maintained well or if you’re using this mostly indoors, this shouldn’t be an issue. I like that the mechanism to fold is on the handlebar, but it is hard to get fully closed and you also must have the seat in the forward facing position to get it to close completely. It is fairly compact (for a full sized stroller) once folded. It was awkward to find a spot to carry the stroller once folded with the seat in, there just wasn’t an easy way to grab it. The seat features and the storage really make this stroller, everything else had me wanting a little more. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller!
Misleading advertising!!! Don’t buy this
The large photo shows it has car seat attached to the stroller with heading ‘3-in-1’ and printed ‘Infant Car Seat Carrier’ Then below IN LITTLE PRINT’ it says ‘car seat not included’ Secondly, we are missing the strap in the back which would incline the pram to seating position so I don’t thing comfort is there for the baby.
Favorite GRACO Purchase!
I purchased the Modes Nest stroller for my sister-in-law as a baby shower gift. The stroller is so versatile in the different ways that the baby can sit, lay and recline. I love the color pallet as well. I purchased the grey and black option so the stroller can be used with both her daughter and son!
Great stroller for a young baby!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stroller seems geared toward parents with a young infant. It quickly folds down into a bassinet and I absolutely love the option of facing the child towards you and being able to pull them closer! However, we have a 17 month old and a 3 year old, so we are just transitioning out of the most beneficial stage of this stroller with the bassinet and carseat connect. While both of our girls do enjoy riding in this stroller, I prefer the ease of mobility of our three-wheeled jogging stroller or the compactability of our umbrella stroller. I was surprised with how smoothly this stroller rolls. It glides nicely, turns on a dime, and is lightweight enough to manage curbs fairly well. However, in my experience, you just cannot beat the ease of how a three-wheeled jogging stroller smoothly pops over curbs and maneuvers rough terrain. I love being able to adjust the height of the seat and pull my child up closer to me! My daughter always smiles when I pull her up! I also love having the option of turning the seat around and seeing my daughter's reactions on the stroll if I want! The seat is lightweight and easy to quickly flip around; I just wish I could do it safely with my daughter inside! My daughter didn't want to lie down and try the bassinet feature without a fuss, but I would have loved this when she was younger. Very convenient for a young baby! As is the ability to connect a Graco carseat. I love that you can face the carseat either direction like the regular seat. As far as the storage goes, oh my goodness, there is so much!! You could easily pile a lot of baby gear and blankets in this stroller! Compared to our other strollers this one wins for most storage space! However, it is disappointing that the maximum weight recommended is 10 pounds. So much room for such a small weight limit... At 5'10," the height of the handle bar feels perfectly comfortable when I push this stroller. I love how much the canopy covers the child when you have it all the way unfolded. Between sunlight or rain, a big canopy is an essential to me, and this is a good one. Folding the stroller is pretty quick as long as you have the seat facing the correct direction. I still have not fully mastered unfolding it. It takes me awhile to find the clip holding it together, and it is awkward pulling the sets of wheels apart with the canopy piece in the way. The stroller does stand up by itself once folded, but it does still take up a fair amount of space. The strapping in design is too fiddly for my liking, but it does serve its purpose. Other strollers I have used have a better strap design. You have to connect the over-the-shoulder strap to the waist strap every single time on each side. I wish Graco could redesign their 5 point harness strap design for less hassle. Other Graco products I own are the same way. Even though this stroller is not my favorite, my daughters do both enjoy it a lot! Going for a stroll is one of our favorite things to do, and they love the option of looking at me when we are out and about! While there isn't a whole lot to complain about with the Modes Nest stroller, this would not likely be the stroller I would grab as I head out the door. If my daughter was still under a year old however, it would be the one I grab! Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this free stroller.
Quality Product always
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last year for my baby as a gift from my sister. Super easy to use and sturdy. Although I ave gotten a travel stroller for short walks just for the sheer size and light weight . but this is also very portable and definitely recommended
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.
Very Spacious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this as a baby shower gift and I'm very pleased with it! The lower basket has so much room. It's a perfect stroller to take with you when you are out at the mall shopping! The seat itself is adjustable and can be adjusted to your comfortable height. My son is super comfortable while strolling as well. We are both pleased with this gift!
