GracoModes™ Nest Travel System, Bayfield

The Graco Modes Nest Travel System is amazing! The adjustable reversible seat is so versatile and perfect for keeping an eye on my baby or letting them explore. I love the pram mode for walks, and the lightweight aluminum frame makes it easy to maneuver. The SnugRide 35 Lite Elite Infant Car Seat is incredibly secure and comfortable. Overall, this system is very sturdy, easy to use, and makes outings with my little one much simpler. Plus, the return/replacement policy through May 28, 2025 gives great peace of mind. Highly recommend!

I saw a lot of back and forth on received for this stroller and this is my experience.Igot this stroller late, my daughter was 8 months old. I looked around at EVERYTHING for my upgrade and had so much stress finding what I need. My daughter is special needs with a tracheostomy, having to lug around an oxygen tank, suction machine, trach supplies, and a diaper bag everywhere with a ton of doctors appointments in the city. The stroller is perfect for what I need. I can put her car seat directly in, or for longer outings, place her in the seat that can turn into the bassinet if she falls asleep. The height adjustment function is a back saver for any special needs child or infant. I especially like the ability to switch the main seat forwards or backwards depending on our day. I do wish it was sturdier for its price point. It doesn’t feel fragile, but it also doesn’t feel like it wouldn’t break if my 35 lb 4 year old climbed into the storage basket (which she heavily enjoys trying to do). The storage basket is enough for all my supplies and a little extra room for a jacket ect which is saving my life. This stroller has made my life 10000x easier with its functionality and design. I fretted a lot about the nest or the regular modes also. I don’t feel the extra cost would be worth it unless for special needs, storage space, or height altering if you’re thinking the same.It does fit in a normal car trunk, but there’s not much space left over. I can set it up with old hand in a pinch. I definitely got a stroller add on for storage since there isn’t much to the handle also. Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

This stroller is durable, as a FTM and also only a part-timer, i was on a tight budget. Yet I wanted something safe and stylish. This did it for me. I got a 35 snuglite car seat as a gift and really wanted a stroller that is also compatible so it can be a travel set. This did it for me, plus it turns into a pram for those early days when the baby is too small to sit and can't be in a car seat for too long either. Oh, it is also reversible and can adjust the baby to be near you. note it is the car seat or the stroller/pram that moves closer, your handle doesn't. I wish the handle could as well. I am also 5'8 tall so i needed something appropriate so i wouldn't be bending my back and this is just perfect. plus it is reversible. Something that was concerning for me was that, when converted to a pram, it looked like the head side was down but once i put the baby in, it looked okay almost completely horizontal.

I love the color scheme, I love the large basket underneath the stroller, I love that it has so many conversion options, especially the pram because you can detach it and its essentially a traveling bassinet if you visit a loved one or a park or beach. I love the maneuverability of the stroller and the options to change the seating height (my husband is 6’4, I’m 5’). The carseat is easy to install and remove and easily adjusts as well with the push of a button or the pull of a strap. My only complaint is…this stroller SHOULD have one button unfolding. Instead, it has a little black latch that you need to flip the whole folded up stroller over in order to access. As I stated earlier, I’m on the smaller side, so lifting and flipping a stroller just to pull a poorly located latch isn’t ideal. But I’m still going to give it five stars because of the quality and the price. This is way better than those expensive baby strollers that are the same thing with the exception of a little real leather trim.

Our baby is a heart warrior and had open heart surgery at 6 days old. This travel system has helped us immensely. The bottom basket is huge! I put basically 2 diaper bags in there and still have room! It's easy to collapse and expand. Popping the bassinet on it is a breeze. It saves us from having to keep her in the car seat during hospital visits which you really aren't supposed to do. Babies aren't supposed to be in the seat unless they are in a vehicle. I learned alot in the CSFL safety group with CPSTs. So we use the carseat carrier to get her from inside the house to the car and then anywhere out in public we use the bassinet. It's super sturdy and will be keeping the stroller in use even long after she outgrows the carseat.

Pros- it’s an affordable travel system that includes the base, car seat, stroller and toddler seat. The toddler seat can also be used as a pram seat. There is a huge amount of storage underneath the stroller. The cup holder works really well and is secure on the handle. The stroller looks like a high price one even though it’s more affordable. Closing the stroller is easy.Cons- the pram seat is just fine. I don’t see it being worth the hassle of using that often. Opening the stroller is less easy. I’ve pinched my fingers a couple of times pulling on the little lever that keeps it closed. It would be great if you could open/close with one hand but it is definitely a two hand job.This is either a pro or con depending on what you’re looking for but it is pretty big, both folded up and open. If you have a smaller car/trunk it would be a tight squeeze.

Bought the stroller as a shower gift for my nephew and his wife. They are first time parents and loved the stroller. I personally thought it was too large and bulky for loading in and out of cars. However, they are apartment dwellers in Brooklyn and don’t find that to be a problem.

I truly love this stroller, as a fourth time mom graco gets better and better each time I have a kid..it’s light and easy to assemble, durable and the bassinet attachment is a bonus! Graco grows with ur babies!
