I've always been a fan of the original Modes . I always wished was less bulky and better looking. Well this is exact that a good looking, lighter version of the original modes. Was pretty easy to assemble. I really like it. Also Graco customer service is amazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I think this stroller got the job done when it came to functioning as a comfy bassinet and a total travel system. We loved using the bassinet configuration because it helped my baby sleep when we were out doing errands, shopping, or entertaining our 2 year old at the park. I also loved being able to look at my baby with the bassinet rear facing. The peekaboo canopy is also great to keep an eye on my baby for when she is forward facing. The canopy is also large enough to fully cover baby when in the bassinet as well. The stroller is easy to fold and stands on its own when folded, we just wish it had some sort of carry handle when it was folded. I also wish there was only a a single brake pedal instead of 2 separate ones. We love the car seat since it is really light (only 7.2 lbs without the base). It is also an upgrade to our old car seat since our old canopy would only stay up when the handle was also up. The car seat base was easy to install with the latch system and the car seat is also easy to attach onto the stroller. This is perfect for when baby falls asleep in the car seat so I can easily transfer onto the stroller without removing her. The large storage basket certainly fit everything we needed and was easily accessible. I could put my diaper bag in there and some light groceries too. The parent tray was perfect for holding my cell phone and my toddler's water bottle and my own water bottle. The child tray was easy to install and easily detachable as well. So thankful for this stroller travel system that I received for free through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I got this as a baby shower gift and I absolutely love it! It strolls very smoothly and I love that is had the bassinet option! It was very easy and simple to put together and the car seat is great and sturdy! I love that you can also add the car seat to the stroller for when they are just infants!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been very happy with the Modes Element LX Travel System. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this travel system. All aspects of the travel system (stroller base, stroller seat and car seat) seem to be well made and have a high end look (at a budget friendly price tag) thanks to the fabric and finishes of the metals/plastic. The car seat has a very soft but firm cushioned seat that makes me feel like my baby is both safe and comfortable. The car seat also easily attaches to the stroller base, allowing us to make a smooth transition in and out of the car for outings without waking the baby. What we love most about this stroller is the infant can use the stroller from day one. Not only is this a convenient feature for the baby (the baby can sit reclined or lay flat) but it's convenient for parents who also have a toddler. We don't have to change the seat for each kid. While babywearing the infant the toddler can use the stroller and when the toddler is off running around, the baby can sit or lay in the stroller! The seat can also be rear or forward facing. We aren't fans of the parent cup holders or seat tray (we'd prefer a telescopic handle for us and a bar for the kids), but they aren't that much of a disappointment that we wouldn't recommend the stroller. The storage basket is a good size for a diaper bag and small cooler. I also LOVE the size of the huge canopy. I wish the wheels were sturdier, as the ride is a bit bumpier than I'd like when we aren't on a smooth surface, but the maneuverability of the stroller is incredible. It could turn on a dime! My toddler lovessss going for a “ride” in the stroller, finding this particular stroller “fun”. Mom, dad, toddler and baby approved!

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.] The Modes Element Travel System was just not right for us. Right out of the box, there was a strong plastic/chemical odor. I had to let the stroller and car seat air out a day before assembling. Putting together the stroller was relatively easy. I liked that it came with both the child and parent tray included. The stroller is lightweight and easy to maneuver, but it is not a smooth ride at all. To get the seat to recline, there is a strap that you need to release and to bring the seat up, the same strap needs to be pulled. This was pretty awkward for us and we would have preferred the ease of maybe a button or handle to quickly be able to do this. The same applies for adjusting the foot rest. The velcro straps were awkward as well. The car seat was very easy to install thanks to the latch, and I really appreciated that you could adjust the seat base so that the seat was properly aligned. My only issue with the seat was the loud clicking sound the canopy made when I wanted to shade my baby from any sun/glares. My girl tends to take a nap in the car and the one time the canopy wasn't down, setting it down woke her up. The whole system is easy to lift and take in and out of the car, but I see our family using the car seat alone and not so much the stroller. I appreciate being given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I received the Graco Modes Element LX Travel System from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to test out with my 6-month old son. To start, assembling it was a breeze, easy instructions and required no tools. The stroller frame is durable, has tons of storage room underneath which is a great feature when you are juggling a diaper bag and shopping bags. However, the storage area slants and isn't very deep so things fall out. I loved the cup holders and small tray on the handle but wished the tray would have been deeper. The durable frame provides a smooth ride and collapsing the stroller is super easy with one hand. I would have also preferred that the wheels were rubber, not plastic. Now onto the car seat... I didn't like that the canopy had no structure and you had to pull it over the handle each time. I would prefer a canopy that you can just fold back and forth. Overall this is a great travel system for your new baby and I would recommend it!

[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.

Bought this for my third baby and out of the other car seats/strollers I've had. This is by far the worst. The base for the carseat that stays in the car is not sturdy at all it wobbles everywhere. Sometimes the carseat gets stuck on there and I have to get in the car through the other side to get it out. Very bulky and when folded you have to carry it to take elsewhere since the handle and the wheels fold to the same side if that makes sense, so you cant roll it to put away elsewhere. Again I am a mom of theree now so I need all those extra little details that would make my life, and any other mom, life easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product for free to test from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was really looking forward to testing it as well! I first want to talk about the car seat...it has super easy installation and I love the new features that accompany it. It's unlike anything I have seen from other companies and I think that they are very useful. However, I have a particularly chunky baby who is still below weight limit and even with the belt loosened as far as it will go it's still VERY tight across her chest to the point it doesn't want to latch so unfortunately I didn't get to test her actually riding in the seat. It latches into the stroller wonderfully! And now for the stroller review!! I LOVE this stroller! It is so easy breezy! I love that you can turn the seat to face you, or turn it so they can face out. I love that you can put a tray on it for your child and they also were very parent friendly with the adding of the tray for small items like cell phone, keys and a drink or two! Let's talk about the storage space on this baby,too! Wowza! You've never seen a stroller with so much storage I promise you that. I also love that they were considerate of the different vehicles we, as caregivers , drive. You can pull more of this apart for a more compact storage or leave together if you have space and I just love that throughout this whole set you can definitely tell parents we're behind designing it and we're considering convenience!
