[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome travel system with a nice functional stroller that I've really enjoyed taking my son on walks in! The infant carrier fits easily into the body of the stroller and seems very comfortable for my 5 month old. I've also tried taking my 23 month old toddler on a walk in it in the toddler configuration, but (like in literally every stroller I've ever tried) she fights to get out. She did manage to stay in comfortably for the first and last 10 minutes of the walk though, which is better than in most strollers. The tray is good for holding snacks too! As a car seat, it's fairly easy to install and once it's in its easy to pop in the carrier and go. My favorite part of the travel system is the easy portability - it's not extremely heavy and it's easy to get around town with. I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it has been wonderful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In purchasing a stroller I looked for something that was not too heavy, easy to carry and fold and with not too many attachments for it to fit in my small car trunk. This travel system has all that I was looking for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the Modes Element Travel System through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this product and how easy it was to assemble and use. Assembly was very straight forward and easy and the car seat system was very easy to install and easy to use and was also easy to transfer from the car seat to the stroller system. I was also very happy with the size of the under basket storage on the stroller system. The child tray is also extremely useful and convenient as well as the parent tray! My favorite feature of this system is the turning radius. It practically turns on itself and I love that. It makes it extremely easy to maneuver. I would definitely purchase this again and would absolutely recommend it to someone looking to purchase an all in one system. And the price point is fantastic!

I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This stroller is great, it is the perfect stroller that you can keeps for years and years and don't have to keep wasting money on new strollers. It has the capability to put a infant seat in it ( which to be honest I have not tested because my son is older, but I have one on the way so I'm excited I will be able to use it then). That will save a lot of money. It moves very easily and what I really liked about it was I was able to push it with my hand while I was walking which some strollers you are not able to do that with. It was very smooth and easy to push. My son really seemed to love it, you can adjust the seat to lean back or be forward so if he wanted to take a nap it was very convenient. Also the straps were perfect for him, I've had trouble with other strollers straps falling off my son, but this one was perfect. It also was fairly easy to fold up, and I also liked that I could fold it up and it would stand by itself. The one thing that probably could be a little better, the shade part I wish was a little better, I don't know if it's just because it was in the box folded weirdly but it kind of is wrinkled and just kind of droopes a little.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With our first child, we had a Graco stroller system with car seat as well. I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, which was perfect as our second child is seven months old (and small for her age). Our oldest 3.5 year old doesn't like strollers anymore, but he loved sitting in the toddler seat -- and at 33 pounds, he's within the fifty pound weight limit. The car seat was easy to install, though I find the instructions a bit more confusing than it needs to be. It was helpful to have the level on the base so you knew it was installed correctly for the child's age. The fabric cover doesn't open/close as smoothly as I'd hoped, and I find the car seat straps don't pull tight as smoothly either, which is why I give four stars instead of five. I don't like wrangling kids into car seats, so I wish the straps would pull smoother. However, the travel system is really convenient. I love that I could take the car seat and snap it into the toddler seat. Other stroller systems require you to remove the toddler seat first, which is a cumbersome step when you're dealing with babies. Folding and unfolding the stroller is easy -- my mother in law loves this stroller as it's super easy to use and lighter than other strollers. She won't use our other stroller as it's difficult to fold. We just keep the toddler seat in the stroller, fold it, and stand it up. We're in a small apartment so it's worth it to have a stroller that doesn't take up much space and stands on its own. My infant dislikes car seats, but enjoys riding in the car seat when it's in the stroller. She loves to ride in the toddler seat itself in the reclined infant seat position. My toddler actually loves this stroller -- when I have him alone, I take him for strollers and he actually sits in a stroller, which he hasn't done in more than a year. My favorite feature are the cup holders. The kids' cup holders leave room for drink and snacks, and the parent cup holder does as well, which helps on coffee runs with the kids. I've found that other stroller systems don't have great cup holders so this is a big deal for me. At this price point, the this travel system is a really good value that will make your life as a parent more convenient.

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.] Graco has officially outdone themselves with the Modes(TM) Element LX Travel System. It is sleek, modern and has a variety of color options that feel and look luxurious! I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have thoroughly enjoyed using it! Between the three main configurations, my husband and I found the infant car seat carrier and toddler stroller fit our day to day needs perfectly. The SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat was easy to install and very lightweight. Instructions were clear and left me feeling confident everything was set up properly. The car seat can attach with the toddler seat on as well as with the toddler seat off the stroller base. Perfect for a quick run into the grocery store! Whether front facing or parent facing, each setup was a breeze to change into and fit different daily needs. In all configurations, the storage basket is HUGE! At one point we had three winter coats, a diaper bag and a small shopping bag under the stroller. I could access my diaper bag from the front or back of the stroller (woohoo!). The front cupholders were a perfect snack holder for my daughter, especially with the reclining feature of the seat. The padding on the stroller handle and the smoothness while pushing on cement and grass were two of my favorite features! Although the positives of this system outweigh the negatives, I do have two complaints. The infant car seat canopy is hard to raise and feels flimsy in comparison to the toddler seat stroller canopy (much sturdier). And lastly, the cup holders are not deep enough that you do not have to worry about small bumps tipping drink containers over. Beware bumpy terrain and spilled drinks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently Stellar Product Testing Panel gave me the opportunity to try out and review the Modes Element DLX Travel System. Being a mom of three kiddos, aged 3, almost 2, and nearly 2 months old, it is important that I have a quality travel system that is easy to use. I need to be able to get out of the house, run errands, take my kiddos to their classes and activities, all while sustaining my sanity. I was pleasantly surprised by this travel system because, I've become so fond of the system I've used since my first baby was born, that I didn't think that another company could outdo it, but I was wrong. The first aspect of the Modes system that surprised me was the fact that the car seat is not only quality made, but it's also lighter than any infant car seat that I've used regularly, or temporarily borrowed. What I've observed, in the past, is that you either get quality materials that are heavy, or you get a lighter product that seems to be made with cheap materials. The Modes car seat is solid, has comfortable padding for baby, feels secure and well made, and is light and easy to carry with one arm. More great features of the cars seat include, how easy it is to put it in and take it out of the car, when using the base, and how easy it is to secure baby and take her out of it. Once I had the base installed in my vehicle, the car seat only needed to be set on the base, listening for the click, that alerts you that the seat is secure. Taking the car seat out is as simple as pulling the easy to use release, and lifting the car seat. Installing the base was a bit difficult, but that was because I have very little space to maneuver, as we have three car seats across our second row in our mid-sized suv. If I had space on both sides to work with, installing the base would've been simple and easy. I found that I really enjoyed the stroller that came with this travel system as well. It has an incredible amount of storage space below the seat, which is essential when you have as many little ones as I do. I had plenty of space for our diaper bag, blankets, drinks, etc. The car seat easily mounts into the stroller, so going from the car to stroller is quick. The only thing I'd change about the stroller is making the stroller fold down smaller. Although, I'm not sure that that is possible. I think you either have to sacrifice the size of storage on the stroller to have it be more compact, or you have to sacrifice the space that a bigger stroller takes up, to have more storage. Overall, I would definitely recommend this travel system to anyone who inquire about it. I look forward to using it daily with my baby and putting my old faithful car seat away for only occasional use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a new mom is tough. It's nonstop, 24/7, and the most important job you will ever have. That's why finding baby gear that makes taking care of your little one easier is SO important. My 5 month old uses his travel system every single day, so I was excited to try this Graco travel system that I received from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. After thoroughly testing out all aspects of this travel system, here are my thoughts: My 5 month old fits great in the Graco SnugRide 35 lite lx car seat, and after easily installing the base of the car seat into my vehicle using the latch system, I was able to smoothly transfer him in his car seat from my car to the stroller without waking him up - huge win! Since my baby is still so young, I currently configure the stroller to have the car seat snapped into the stroller facing me so that I can keep an eye on him at all times. As an aside, the canopy on the car seat is a nice feature - it covers a very large area which protects your baby from both the sun and also anyone trying to get too close! The toddler seat also has a large canopy, so your child can be protected no matter which configuration you use. The storage area below the stroller is simply fantastic. I am able to fit my oversized diaper bag in this area in addition to a small grocery list worth of items. This makes running to the store SO MUCH easier and is a huge benefit for me. This is definitely my favorite aspect of the entire travel system. While shopping, I've had the opportunity to use the parent tray. Although it's convenient to have, I think the plastic feels a bit cheap and seems to be a lower-end quality, which is unfortunate because this entire travel system gives off a modern, high-end vibe and is very aesthetically pleasing overall. Since my little one and I are on the go daily and are in and out of the car multiple times a day, having a stroller that easily folds up and can be put into the trunk without too much hassle is essential. After practicing a few times, I am now able to fold this stroller up with one hand only! Amazing! My last thought is pretty insignificant, but was still an issue for me nevertheless. In order to turn the brakes on the stroller off, you have to lift up two levers which are located at the very bottom of the stroller next to each back wheel. If you're wearing sneakers, this wouldn't be an issue. However if you're wearing flip flops or open-toed shoes, get ready for your toes to feel a bit uncomfortable! Overall, this is a very functional and dependable travel system that I would recommend.
