Overview

Highlights

  • Includes stroller, infant car seat & base
  • Three height positions
  • Parent-facing or forward-facing

Description

The Graco Modes Nest Travel System makes it easy to stay connected with your little one by bringing baby closer than ever. Raise the Slide2Me height-adjustable seat or infant car seat for face-to-face smiles and interactions.

This stroller can be used as an Infant Car Seat Carrier, Infant Pramette and Toddler Stroller. Adjust the stroller seat or your infant car seat to any of three height positions and choose parent-facing or forward-facing mode to find just the right ride for your little one.

There are two options for infants. The stroller seat converts into a cozy pramette for comfortable strolls, or you can use the infant car seat. The infant car seat is rear-facing seat for babies 4-30 lbs.

When baby is a little older, you can switch to the toddler stroller seat for a comfy ride up to 50 lbs. The stroller has a lightweight aluminum frame and one-step, self-standing fold that makes it easier to get in and out of the car (and keeps the stroller off the ground).

Parents also appreciate the stroller’s extra touches like the expandable storage basket, leatherette handle, cup holders, child’s tray and large canopy with a peekaboo window so you can easily check on your little one.

Soft Almond is a Babylist exclusive, so you’ll only find it here.

FALSE ADVERTISING
It’s 3 in nothing!!!! False advertising. For $600+ you would think it would come with all the attachments. It’s only a regular stroller that you can interchange with the car seat. The bassinet option is unavailable unless you buy the entire carry cot separately.

Wouldn’t want any other stroller
This stroller is great. The wheels move like butter and the whole system is simple and very sturdy. It’s really intuitive and you can feel the quality in the product.

Cozy fit for my baby girl!
I did my research on strollers and love this one! I will say it isn’t good for flying on a plane though. It has too many parts and too big and bulky. But using around town, putting the extra bassinet part in the back and the stroller slims down easily and opens easily. Plus the cup holder is a great accessory! Tons of room for extra things for your little one underneath. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her toddler stage.

Great stroller!
We really like this stroller, I only gave it 4 stars due to how it breaks down and opens up. Not a very smooth transition otherwise great stroller, nice smooth ride over uneven pavement and has plenty of basket room.

Bumpy ride
Super bumpy! Very nice when pavement is perfect but otherwise not so great. Honestly disappointed, especially considering cost.

So happy we picked this one over the Nuna!
My husband and I went back and fourth for weeks trying to decide on the best travel system for us. The Nuna is the "it" stroller to have—and we see it in abundance out and about in our area. We were going to do it, but the Graco Modes Nest won the battle when we went to the Babylist store in LA to test them out in person. It's a smooth ride and it comes with a cup holder! The more expensive strollers don't come with one—it's an added expensive. I use the cup holder almost every time I use the stroller. The bassinet aspect is great too! We used it often our first 3 months with our son. I will say that it is huge! We have small cars and this stroller takes up the whole trunk. What won us over on this stroller was the height—while I'm short (5'2"), my husband is tall, and he felt silly pushing both the Nuna and Uppababy strollers and I agreed—he looked silly. He also said it was uncomfortable after a while because it was so low for him, but the Graco was the perfect height for him (and me). If we got the Nuna, I would have needed to push my son 24/7 because it was too short for my husband. But the Graco makes it comfortable for both of us. My only complaint is there is nothing petite about this stroller, so we do plan on investing in a smaller stroller once my son needs a carseat upgrade—but the Graco will still be used—especially for neighborhood walks and areas with rougher terrain.

Smoth ride but very wide
Bought over a year ago. It's very smooth and great to take on walks around the neighborhood but overall I do not recommend. My biggest complaints are the canopy and the width. The canopy is advertised as large and extendable but it's very small compared to other strollers. And it is extremely wide. It takes up a lot of space in my trunk and it's hard to get around places with a lot of people.

Not a 3 in 1
I received this stroller at our baby shower. I had put it on my registry for the “3 in 1” feature. Which is very misleading. I’ve been trying to get the stroller to go into bassinet mode for HOURS. Come to find out that part is SOLD SEPARATELY. It should be advertised as a 2 in 1 with the ability for more attachments. Extremely frustrated and disappointed.

Terrible Customer Service
I ordered the Nest Travel System stroller with a contoured changing pad a month ago. The stroller arrived but the changing pad never did! I've paid for it and have already spoken twice with customer service, still no resolution and my baby is already here!! Very disappointing with the whole customer experience, the stress was totally uncalled for....
