Graco® Modes™ Nest2Grow™ DLX Travel System in Riordan

I was very excited to purchase this double stroller but I was quickly disappointed the first time I put it to use. It is extremely bulky, hard to move around, and it’s very heavy to put in and take out of the car. The worse part is that the car seat gets stuck to the stroller every single time. It is a hassle to take the car seat off of the stroller it completely locks and it takes me around 5 minutes to finally be able to lift and remove the car seat. I wish I could attaché a video to show these problems however it only allows pictures.

I bought the stroller before I had my last son because my daughter was a year old at the time so I knew I needed a double stroller. The stroller is really bulky I have to take the additional seat off along with the car seat for it to fit in my trunk. It's really bulky and heavy. When have the seat and car seat connected it's really hard to maneuver around and also heavy. The front wheels always get stuck or go the opposite direction. I love the Graco car seats and the brand. I just would like something easier to use

I put stroller/car seat on my registry & it was the worst almost $600 purchase. Not even 6 months in & I have to buy a new stroller because the wheels constantly fall off.

I do not recommend this stroller to anyone. I bought it while I was expecting my second and the wheels made it a bit difficult to push but now that my second has arrived the stroller is horrible to push with two. The wheels are always getting stuck and never move right. I threw my shoulder out just trying to punch it through a store with wheels that didn’t want to move.

I am so extremely disappointed in the modes nest2grow travel system, for starters the car seat gets stuck in base and at times it can be almost impossible to get my newborn out of the car because it will not unlatch from the base, it is winter right now so it makes it that more frustrating trying to just get my baby out of the car while it’s absolutely freezing. Second the stroller is not easy to open up and it is extremely heavy! I don’t know how I am supposed to be able to take my baby anywhere without my partner because the stroller is so heavy and hard to unhook the latch. Third the car seat is almost impossible to click into the stroller by yourself, you have to blindly keep moving and jiggling the car seat around till it finally snaps it is not easy and it’s really stressful shaking my newborn around like that. Also when it fold down the handle touches the ground, that is extremely unsanitary and gross. Fourth the stroller almost has a kind of its own you barely move it and it starts turning all over the place it almost embarrassing being in public with this thing. It’s also extremely bulky! The car seat itself is heavy as it is and with the heavy stroller as well it’s ridiculous, I have never dealt with a more stressful and useless travel system in my life. I am so bummed about this graco product it was expensive and I feel like I wasted so much money thinking it was going ti be quality when it is quite the opposite. If you were thinking of purchasing this DO NOT! It is the most frustrating thing. I am so sad I’m not able to take my baby to go do things without lugging the heavy car seat everywhere by hand because the stroller is impossible for me to set up by myself. I’ve trusted Hraco for years because they do have some amazing products but I am very disappointed in Graco with this product to say the least.

I just received this stroller from my registry and already I love it. I went back and forth for months looking at this one and the mockingbird stroller and I think I made the right choice. I love that I don't have to purchase and keep up with attachments for a second seat, they are already installed and can be pulled out when needed. I'm very happy with the amount of storage space it has in the bottom basket, we will be able to pack a whole picnic and store the diaper in there. It's very easy to assemble and adjust, my husband is much taller than me so I can already see us having to adjust the handle a lot. I've already spent a lot of time just playing around with seat configurations and I love how easy it is to take the seat off and reattach it. Even the snack tray slides in and out of place easily. I remember trying to help my friend attach her snack tray on a different stroller and us spending 20 minutes just trying to figure out how it goes on. The only thing I don't love about not just this stroller but others like it is how a second seat configures with the bassinet attachment, it seems the only way to make it work is to have the older child face you or face the bassinet which probably causes some upset for kids who like to look ahead and look around. I'm very excited for our little one to get here so I can take it for a spin around the park.

Great product! Love the ease of the stroller and the overall look.

I bought this stroller back in March. Started using it in May because my second was born in mid April. It was so hard to maneuver at first a little bump it would get stuck. The use of this was probably once a week with a two year old at the bottom and a growing baby at the top. In October I started noticing that it was the worst to handle I would move it left and it felt as if I was pushing a stroller with no wheels. It’s is not January I no longer use the stroller because it squeaks each time I try to use it, wheels don’t work anymore as they used to. Totally worthless purchase and for the price I expected way more. If you’re going to use this for one baby you should be fine but for two save your money and purchase something better. For reference my toddler is 28lbs and my 8 month old is now 20 lbs.
