[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stroller! It is an easy close and it closed pretty flat. My biggest love is the basket!!!! You can fit a ton down there and best of all, it is easy access. Its an open large basket. I enjoy the tray that is by the handles and it's a really nice looking stroller. The different seating options is also great for the different stages of your baby.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited for the opportunity to try this stroller thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel because I thought the ability to use it in so many configurations would make it extremely convenient. However, my experience fell short of my expectations. First, the good: The stroller is very sturdy, the ride was very smooth, and I love having the bassinet configuration for naps or diaper changes. I liked being able to face both the car seat and the toddler seat in either direction when clipped directly into the frame. This flexibility was helpful as sometimes my 8 month old wants to see everything, and other times, like when tired, she's more content being able to see me. It is very easy to clip both the car seat and the toddler seat into and out of the frame. The sun shade is also huge so it offers great protection, and it is very convenient that it comes with the parent and child consoles (though I wish the middle compartment in the parent console was deep enough to accommodate my phone vertically). Unfortunately, these positives aren't enough to make up for the negatives for me which started right out of the box. The assembly instructions were very difficult to follow and the stroller had a strong chemical smell that overtook the room for a few days. I felt nervous having my baby so close to such a strong chemical smell so I waited a few days for it to air out some. My biggest problem was that it is huge when folded with the toddler seat attached. It took up the entire floor of my trunk (a SUV) so I lost the ability to store much else back there. I could put stuff on top of the stroller, but then it would be even more difficult to get the stroller in and out of the car. I wasn't able to bring the stroller with me at all when I had my dog in the car, which makes certain errands and activities much more difficult. Furthermore, I found it awkward to unfold and it can't fold while in my favorite configuration (toddler seat facing me) so that makes that configuration pretty impractical to use if you need to be able to fold the stroller. I also wouldn't be comfortable using it as a travel system because the car seat needs to be tipped so far forward to get it into the toddler seat. I felt ok tipping my 8 month old that far forward only because she was awake (I think it would wake her up if sleeping), but I would have been completely uncomfortable doing so awake or asleep when she was a newborn. I unfortunately couldn't get as good a picture of the angle as I had hoped, but the included photo attempts to show it. I also found my visibility to be significantly decreased with the sun shade open; I constantly felt like I was going to bump into things with the stroller. I also wish the stroller came with a better car seat, as this one lacks some nicer options. In particular, this car seat has a very noisy canopy that would disturb a sleeping baby (this is a dealbreaker for me as I like to put the shade up when my baby falls asleep to give her more darkness and privacy). The buttons on either side of the handle (to move the handle) are also more cumbersome to use than the single button on top of the handle configuration that other seats have. I wish it came with the shoulder strap pads for comfort. At the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend this in the travel system configuration or to someone who needs to take it in the car frequently. However, I do believe that it has a number of nice features and the flexibility of the many configurations may make this a good fit for someone that doesn't need to transport or fold the stroller often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love many things about this stroller, besides just that it looks nice and is light-weight. You can switch your baby to be facing you or facing out (which is perfect for both babies and toddlers), the storage compartment is HUGE (it can fit multiple shopping bags and your diaper bag, making this stroller great for errands), the size of the stroller is pretty small (which is helpful when navigating in and out of stores or having it next to you in a restaurant), and you can click the car seat in without any extra attachments (it goes in the same way as the toddler seat). I also like that you can take the toddler seat completely off before putting the car seat on, which makes the stroller nice and light. Other strollers don't have that option and you end up with what feels like a minivan walking down the sidewalk. The fold is a two-hand fold, but it is pretty easy. I like that you can fold the stroller with the seat on it (even though it does have to be facing forward). But, I have used many other strollers that require you to take the seat off before you fold the stroller, which can get annoying. The car seat was easy to install and much lighter than my older model. It is also very easy to get on and off the stroller, with no extra attachments. The only drawbacks are the parent console and the child tray. I do like that the parent console has two cup holders, but the part in the middle is kind of small. I ended up putting a generic parent console that you can buy online on the handlebar and it works perfectly! As for the child tray, it is a fine size, but I wish you could swing it to the side while you put your child in, instead of having to take it all the way off. Overall, this is a versatile stroller and travel system that looks cute, carries a lot of your stuff, and is easy for moms who need to run lots of errands (and, let's be honest, that's all of us!). I received this travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of two boys, 9 and 7 months, reviews are critical when I'm buying a product. While shopping for baby gear this time around- I lived in the review section of all the products before purchasing anything. Between the two boys and being a working mom, I am always on the go so I need baby gear that is high quality and convenient. I also really appreciate products that look good :) ! Overall I really like this travel system! I love the ease with which I can switch between the toddler seat and car seat as well as how easily it folds and stores. The beautiful design is what first caught my attention about this stroller, it is sleek and contemporary as well as extremely functional.. the basket size is incredible! So many thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system to try! I take a lot of walks with my (7 month old) son so the seat attachment is wonderful for those- he hates being in car seat for too long so that's a no go on our long walks. He is so comfortable in the seat and we both love the recline feature, I think he could nap all day in this seat! The canopy on the seat is also fantastic- the sun doesn't get anywhere near being in his eyes which keeps him happy.. and therefore keeps me happy. ;) The assembly of this stroller was a breeze, it took barely any time at all! I also really like how the folding and unfolding of this stroller is extremely simple and how it balances itself to stand up on its own. By far, my favorite part of this stroller is the basket size. This basket is HUGE! I did a Costco run today (in the rain, by the way, so being able to take the car seat straight from the car and click it into the stroller made my life SO much easier) and didn't even use a cart! I was able to keep quite a few Costco sized products in my stroller with zero problems, even a huge pack of seltzer cans! The car seat with this system is also nice and SO lightweight. The only reason I didn't give this travel system 5 stars is because of the canopy on the car seat- it's loud and difficult to open and close- and the material of the car seat, it feels cheaper than I would like. Overall, the many pros of this travel system GREATLY outweigh the very few cons of the car seat. I definitely recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a second time Mom I was excited to try out this new travel system! I moved our old set into Grandma's car and installed this one! Installation was pretty simple. I do love the click in system. The car seat snaps in easily as well. I am happy to report that the car seat itself is lighter weight than my previous one, so that makes in and out of daycare much easier. Once installed it didn't seem as tight but still felt secure. The canopy on this car seat blew me away! It's HUGE!! The adorable striped pattern underneath was also a stylish touch! I really enjoyed the stroller. I felt the baby was at a higher level compared to my previous travel system. This made me feel like I could engage with my baby more. The stroller itself had an extremely smooth ride and I enjoyed pushing it around the neighborhood. I loved that the attachment for the car seat was actually the child snack tray! No extra bar to try and find when using the stroller. I wish the handle was adjustable. My 6' husband would have liked having that option. Folding for travel was super easy! It's all in the handle bar! The storage basket underneath was very large but felt shallow. I think too much stuff might slide out. I did like the peekaboo window on the stroller. It was a breathable mesh with magnetic closure. No scratchy loud Velcro! As for the main stroller, I wanted to see if my 3 1/2 year old toddler could comfortably fit. He's 40 inches tall and his head was all the way touching the top. The manual says max height of 44 inches but I don't think my son was comfortable at 40. Overall I think is is a great set! Perfect for a new Mom (or Grandma!). I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I am definitely letting others know about this system!

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.] As a first time parent, the options for strollers and carseats can be so overwhelming. New parents, look no further than this travel system from Graco. We loved the infant seat and how easy it was to secure the base in my car. Once the base is installed you lock the seat in place, and can unlock it just as easily when it's time to go. No waking your precious sleeping baby when taking them in and out of the car. The stroller is perfect for newborns through toddlers. You can either lock the carseat onto the stroller or turn the seat into a bassinet. Once baby grows, the seat transitions to a traditional toddler seat with a secure 5 point harness. This travel system has an amazingly large storage basket that easily holds my now giant diaper bag! The stroller moves great and handles really well. And was super easy to assemble; no tools needed! Easy to assemble is my favorite part of this entire travel system. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product to review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Graco Modes Element 3-in-1 travel is amazing! First off, it was very simple to put together with one person. The instruction manual is a little over simplified, but easy enough to understand and build the stroller and toddler seat quickly. All in all it took only about 10 minutes to completely assemble and mess around with the different configurations. This system includes a stroller, toddler seat, infant carrier seat and the car base for the infant carrier. Once it's all put together, it really does feel well built. The one downside I can find is that most of the pieces are plastic. I'd worry about its overall longevity. Since most strollers and these systems are mostly plastic anyways, I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe the part I'm most worried about are the wheel release buttons for the front wheels since they are awfully thin. Other than that, I'm sure this will hold up for as long as it will be needed. The stroller includes a parent tray with two cup holders and space to stash few little items. There's also a tray for the toddler seat that holds the same. The cup holders aren't very large, but can get the job done for smaller bottles and cups of coffee. There's a large mesh basket under the seat that's great for a diaper bag, purse, backpack or whatever other large items you may want to take with you and not carry. Both the toddler seat and infant carrier go on and remove from the stroller with ease. There are two factors about this system that I love over other travel systems, and in particular, our own stroller. Firstly, the stroller can be folded up with the toddler seat left on and even the tray! I can't even begin to explain how easy it is to fold up, lock, and then unlock and unfold! It's magnificent. Without having to take off any pieces is by far the best part! Other great factor I love about this stroller and system, is the fact that the infant carrier can be attached to the stroller with the toddler chair still connected! What?! Absolutely amazing! No more misplacing or damaging the toddler seat because it has been hiding some where when it was first taken off so the infant carrier can go on! Maybe it's just me, but this really excited me! Now don't get me wrong there is only one small downside and that is you can only connect the infant carrier on top of the toddler seat in the reverse position. Now that didn't bother me because I'd rather look at my baby/infant when out and about anyways, but that's the only downside I could really think of. Other niceties include brakes on both tires and a large canopy on both the carrier and seat (seat canopy has peek through window). My twins are just about a year old so we didn't get to test the fit of the toddler seat, but it has many positions for sitting and reclining as well as a five point harness. The foot rest can also be latched upward when reclining to provide more protection from your child slipping out. Both babies are getting tall enough that they won't fit in the carrier much longer, but that's also the case with our other carriers. We took a stroll a day for two weeks in this, swapping babies out each time and we didn't get a single complaint from either one of them. It handle nicely, brakes were easy to engage and disengage, overall it was a good experience. There are a couple of things I wish this had that the models up from this had. One is the extending handle bar, which I know comes on the LX/.DLX models of this travel system. The second item would be some sort of suspension. This would help with going over different terrain or just the expansion joints in sidewalk. That feature I'm not sure is available on either model, but was just comparing to my other stroller. The car base for the carrier doesn't take up much space and installs quickly. It has levels and a booster to help get everything nicely balanced. The car seat comes in and out easily so no problems with this at all. I feel the carrier could use a little more padding all the way around, but it's not like there is none. That's just a personal preference though I wouldn't really know as I can't fit in it! Ha! All in all, I'd gladly recommend this travel system to anyone who just had a child and would like one easy system that's nice, got great features and will be there through the years without having to buy a bunch of different products. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. Heck, I loved this system so much I even got one for a friend that just had a child and her and her husband haven't stopped thanking us and discussing it with us since!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I am a mother of two, 3 years old and 10 months old. I mostly used the stroller for my youngest. My three year old really likes to just walk beside us so my review is mostly based on using it for a 10 month old. Pros: I loved the ability to easily switch the toddler seat from forward facing to rear facing. the click connect buttons on either side of the seat were super easy to use and smooth. My little guy really loved to be able to face me during our walks. This was definitely our favorite configuration and feature of this system. The seat is very easy to recline and reposition upward. I loved the infant carseat. The straps are easy to adjust and my baby seemed very comfortable in it. It is a breeze to click in and out of the stroller. I liked being able to click it right into the frame of the stroller with or without the toddler seat on. I preferred to use it with just the stroller frame. The base was also easy to install into the car. The included instructions were thorough and easy to follow. The storage basket is huge. I loved being able to toss a backpack right in there. I like the double cup holders on the parent tray. My little guy didn't get much use out of the child tray due to his age. He used it mostly to pull himself up. The stroller is also very easy to close and I liked that it stands up on its own when folded. It is also really easy to push with one hand but is a bumpy and noisy ride. Cons: I struggled with the break assembly of the stroller. I was unable to push the pins in without my husbands help and I don't consider myself very weak. However the instructions were very easy to follow. The toddler seat was far too small for my three year old, who is not very tall. The back of the seat is rather short which caused her head to rest on the canopy. I couldn't extend it over her without it resting against her head, causing her to crouch down. The fabric of the seat is spot clean only and isn't machine wash friendly. This is a feature I would suggest they add in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Long but worth the read if you are really interested in this stroller. I absolutely loved this stroller, although there was one thing I just could not get past. I'm not sure if it was if I set the canopy up incorrectly on the car seat or what... but I did try fixing it and nothing worked. When adjusting the canopy on the car seat (not the stroller canopy) with every time you put it further up and down it would click. This was an absolute problem because it would scare my son (2 months) every time I tried to adjust it. The other things I disliked was the brakes. There are 2 on each side instead of others that have one so it wasn't very friendly when you were trying to do it quick. Also I could not get the car seat to properly latch with the latch system. The car seat was tipping to the side when I would turn. But with the seat belt it seamed to be fine Other than that there was a lot of things that I did really like, such as, how wide the car seat was.. I tried this with both of my kids and was able to fit my 2 month (14 lbs) and also my 16 month (28 lbs) comfortably, I also like that if you were not using the toddler seat you could take it off completely and just use the base. It gave us a lot more room in the trunk. When we did use the toddler seat it seamed to sit up a lot higher than any other stroller we have used also. The stroller had a super easy ride and I was able to push it with one hand. I also really liked that it was so easy to fold and it sits up by itself when folded. All in all there were some flaws but I like this travel system a lot. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, although all reviews are my own opinion.
