[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stroller was easy to put together and is very versatile. The only negative I have about it is that it doesn't have a handle to carry it while folded and has the tray and footrest sticking out when folded with the toddler seat. So it is not as easy to travel with as some others. I love Graco though and the wheels are very sturdy and smooth to push.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I had mixed emotions on this travel system. It was not the most user friendly but it did provide great storage and growth opportunities.Currently I prefer to use the infant carrier clipped into the stroller but I love that as my 5 month old grows this will be able to grow with her. I appreciate that I can also use this stroller for my 2 year old and it does not take much to convert between the two options.  I love how big the storage underneath was, I could fit all the required gear for taking both of my kids to the children's museum and a few extra shopping bags that we picked up along the way. I appreciated that the parent tray fit my large cup, big bonus! Here is where part of this proved to be less than user friendly, it takes two hands to break the stroller down for travel. This is very inconvenient with one child, let alone two. Additionally, the stroller does not automatically lock when closed, you have to clip it shut manually. This was not a feature that I enjoyed. Personally I did not like that the wheels were plastic, I feel like the stroller is set up to grow with your children but the plastic wheels really limit how long this will last and where you can take it. If you are only using this for indoor purposes, this will meet your needs. For me, I live on a street without sidewalks, so I prefer being able to use one stroller for all of it. Installing the carseat was another piece that was not super user friendly. It was super easy to level the carseat base however the anchors are not ideal. It was a challenge, even for my small fingers, to get the anchors removed from the carseat base and also clipped into my vehicle. I also had a tough time getting the infant carrier out of the base a couple times. I will say, this infant carrier is lighter than others I have tried, that was convenient for me.The fabric is easy to wipe clean but not very soft or comfortable, I would not want my skin rubbing on that every time I was in the car. I did really like the look, it was sleek and stylish. I felt like this was a great color option for both my son and my daughter. The design looks were probably my favorite part of this system followed by the growth options. I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.  

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this travel system. It's a little bulky but not bad. So storage isn't a problem. I received this travel system for free to try as a result of the Stellar Product Testing panel. The functionality of it is amazing! The parent tray comes in handy! While the kid tray works great with little ones! My favorite thing about this is it's versatility. It is very easy to use and the car seat installs fairly easily. The whole travel system is very durable and easy to clean.

Such a great stroller and very versatile. The car seat clicks in for easy shopping trips but the stroller also can be a bassinet for newborns all the way to a normal forward facing seat for toddlers. It is easy to use and folds up to fit in the trunk of a car. The bottom holds all outing essentials and then some.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a first time mom, I am always on the go either walking or traveling by car. I had a small stroller when my baby was born to use it with the car seat. It was fine in the city but didn't do well on different terrains so I was limited to just walk on asphalt. When I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was so HAPPY that the stroller wheels were big and appropriate for every terrain. I went to the park with my baby and I had to cross a really tough area with rocks and the stroller did pretty well, my baby didn't seem too bother as I maneuver around the rocks so that was a plus. The stroller moves very smoothly and it's handles are soft. My favorite feature is that it has a one hand folding bottoms so you can hold the baby and fold the stroller at the same time. ( I'm often just by myself and I need it to be easy to collapse while I also hold my baby and get it inside our apartment.) When folded it doesn't use too much space and it stands by itself pretty well. It is not very compact but it's not huge either. It's not too heavy for me and I'm 5'2 and have to get it upstairs to the second floor. ( I also have a jogging stroller and it's too big, it uses too much space I really dislike it. I was totally miserable bringing it up and down the stairs) I never used the storage basket with heavy stuff but it's very spacious and easy to bring things in and out without bothering baby or waking her up when she is asleep. The sit reclines to almost flat so my baby can nap very comfortably while I'm running errands. I could even change her diaper once on the go with no problems. I absolutely like how easy it is to change the sit position facing me or facing front and my baby enjoys it as well. The canopy is pretty big and it feels sturdy. It has a peekaboo window to look at baby. The breaks are on each side of the wheels and they are good but I would appreciate if it was only one pedal to control the breaks with just one foot. It has the option to use the car seat on the stroller frame without the toddler seat, also a great feature for when we drive and go shopping I can just take the car seat and connect it to the frame and go, it's so easy:) it comes with a child and parent tray which are pretty standard and funcional. The only thing it don't like it's the straps. The shoulder straps are disconnected from the waist straps so you have to line them up all together in the correct side and it's hard to do it with a squirming anxious baby sometimes. That's why I didn't think it's a 5 stars product. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love almost everything about this stroller and carseat. The stroller drives better than any other stroller we've used (and we've used a lot). I love that you can use the carseat or stroller seat facing inward or outward. This is probably my favorite feature because we've loved being able to turn our son both directions. It's very easy to change the seat direction around which is a huge plus. We also really loved being able to lay the stroller seat flat. Our son is special needs and doesn't have good head control so this is such a beneficial feature. It's also so helpful with naps on the go!! There are a few things I did not like. First, when you close the stroller the handles go down to the ground. It was super easy to close with one hand which is great. However, I'm not a fan of the handles touching the ground and getting dirty which I'm sure will happen over time. The other thing that I didn't like is you cannot properly close the stroller with the stroller seat facing inward. It does technically close. However, it doesn't collapse as condense as when the stroller seat is facing outward. We ended up turning the seat back to the outward position before collapsing it each time, which was frustrating. The car seat is great! It's so lightweight and easy to carry. It is a great length and width. Which makes it easy for fitting into vehicles. We did have a difficult time getting the base tight enough. The latch strap adjuster is poorly placed so it makes it difficult to tighten properly. Overall, we would recommend this set to anyone! We were so happy to receive as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried multiple strollers, even some with a very high price point and I just couldn't find one I loved. That is, until I got to try this one out! It's so quick and easy to connect the infant seat to the stroller frame. No additional parts are necessary, unlike another pricey brand I tried. I love that the toddler seat can recline flat and turn into a bassinet of sorts for a newborn. The ability to turn the toddler seat forward or rear-facing is a plus.I love how easy it is to fold and stands once folded, making it easy to get in and out of the car. The infant seat is well made, yet light weight and sturdy. I felt that they straps seemed a bit flimsy compared to another seat we love. However, the splitter plate is slightly different and makes removing the straps a breeze. The canopy is huge and provides ample protection from the elements. The multiple position handle makes it easy to carry and get baby in and out. Baby looks comfortable in the seat and doesn't seem to have any issues with it. Plus I love the design on the underside of the canopy. It's different than any other design I've seen and is the perfect neutral pattern. I received this travel system to review as part of the weespring parent panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am reviewing this product as a first-time mom with a 7-month-old girl who is all about travel. We live in a rural neighborhood and primarily use our stroller for walks outside and some shopping or errand running in town. Prior to the Modes Element Travel System, I have used a competing brand with a jogging stroller. The stroller was easy to assemble and took less than 30 minutes! Compared to my jogging stroller it is SUPER lightweight and easy to fold, carry and stow. However, the best feature of this stroller is the ability to turn the seat from forward to rear facing. What a treat! In order to turn the seat around you simply press the gray tabs on the side and lift up, flip the seat around and reinsert the tabs. Talk about easy! I preferred the use of the rear facing when out and about but my daughter loves to ride around in the stroller in our home and we use the forward facing for this. The storage basket beneath the stroller was a great size. What made it work better was that the seat was a little higher up so in addition to the basket being larger it was deeper top to bottom as well. I could easily place my diaper backpack and winter coat in the basket and not have to shove it in. Both of the parent and child trays were great! They were solid plastic and removable which made them easy to clean in the case of accidental spills and sticky hands. Just pop them off and rinse them in the sink. The car seat was lightweight and also had a great sunshade! The sunshade pulled forward without getting hung on the handle which was a nice feature. Overall the car seat was pretty basic but did the trick. The base was easy to install in the car using my vehicle's LATCH system. Another great feature of this system is the ability to hook the car seat directly into the stroller without the stroller seat in place. This streamlined the stroller and made it even more lightweight when out and about. A couple of cons to consider about this travel system. First is the smoothness of the ride. Compared to my jogging stroller, the bumps of even basic sidewalk walking were intense. Fortunately, my little one didn't mind but she jiggled the entire way when we strolled outside. Another con was the brakes. Even with the brakes engaged you could still scoot the stroller, no matter the surface. I think this has more to do with the smooth tires in the back as the brakes were clearly locked. Overall this was a great addition to our mobile family! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Modes(TM) Element DLX Travel System has so many configuration options, and transitioning between them is so smooth. The Click Connect base makes it very easy to get the car seat in and out of the car, especially in rainy Portland. Because of the one handed release of the stroller, you can easily pull the car seat out of the trunk, flip it open, and lock in the car seat in 60 seconds. The bucket part of the car seat is snug, in the best ways, and hugs my baby's core; Which she loves, and falls asleep often. I also love the reversible stroller seat. Often I have a hard time seeing/hearing what my toddler is talking about when we are out on walks. When he's facing me, our conversations and communications are so much easier. The only struggle I had was finding the wheel pins when assembling the stroller. I knew they were tiny, and I could not find them. I eventually found them sealed in red plastic on the edge of the bag. I also love that the stroller seat fully reclines for walking naps and is just as easy to sit up. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to try out the Modes(TM) Element LX Travel System! My littlest one is five months old, and this was perfect to test out with her. The car seat base was so easy to install and use and was a very comfortable fit for my daughter. My favorite configuration of the stroller thus far has been the infant car seat stroller. It's so nice to just click the car seat in and go. I also love that the stroller seat can lay practically flat so that it is almost a bassinet. I'm excited to use the seat in the facing parent position. It's so convenient that the stroller is just the frame when using the infant seat with it. It's easy to fold and the storage basket is so spacious! It was perfect for the diaper bag and/or groceries and shopping needs. The parent tray is sturdy and held my drinks and keys easily! I highly recommend this travel system for anyone looking for an easy to install car seat base and a multi-functional stroller for all ages!
