Graco® Modes™ Nest2Grow™ Stroller Second Seat

item was backordered for a long time hence the star deduction. other than that, the seat is stylish, sturdy and comfortable for my toddler. i love the premier collection

Excellent product that easily expands our single stroller to double.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ability to convert the single stroller to a double stroller with the second seat is a game changer! My two year old loves choosing to face out or face her sister on our daily walks (she usually chooses the latter). Attaching the second seat was very easy and even taking it out and switching what way my toodler faces if she changes her mind during a walk is quick. I really like the ability to recline the seat and the fact that the canopy can be raised higher as your child gets taller. The look and feel of the fabric is really nice and feels high end! If you have more than one child and are debating getting the second seat, don’t hesitate, it’s worth it! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller attachment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this second seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The second seat is pretty much the same as the original seat that comes with the Graco Modes Nest2Grow Stroller, except that the canopy does not have the zippered extendable feature the original seat does. The snack tray clicks into this seat perfectly fine and it was also easy to click right into the stroller. It did take me a second to figure out that I had to slide out the second seat adapters in the stroller to get the second seat to “click” in place, so make sure that you hear that “click” to ensure that the second seat is secure. The second seat adapters are part of the stroller, so no need to store them or buy extra parts to add the second seat to your stroller. Not sure why the zippered extendable canopy was not included, as in the original seat, otherwise this second seat would be perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Modes Nest2Grow stroller is impressive for a mid range priced double stroller. The materials are nice, and the price point is great. Our most used configuration is top seat facing me with infant, and toddler facing out so he can see the world. My toddler enjoyed the ride in this stroller but he looked uncomfortable as the seat is very shallow. Maneuverability was good, but feels heavy when pushing with one hand. The large wheels seem like it would push easily over most terrain. The large basket is wonderful and I really appreciate the easy fold. You simply pull a lever on each side of the handle and push down and it easily folds. The unfold on the other hand is very awkward. When folding I take off the lower seat and it nests nicely behind the attached seat for a smaller fold. I would have liked to see a telescoping handle instead of a tilt. At 5’2” I feel like the handle is still too tall in the lowest position for me. I would also like to see the option for an attachment for a board on the back for another child or larger toddler. It fits in my SUV when folded but it’s bulky and heavy and would be a tight fit in a car trunk. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I posted a review on the stroller, but I included information about the second seat so I am reposting it here with some adjustments. This second seat turns your Modes Nest2Grow stroller into a double stroller. The short version: Pros: - Larger toddler seat can be used in the lower stroller position AND can hold up to 50lbs! AND you don’t need a separate adapter to use it in the lower position. - Maneuvering the stroller is GREAT, even when the heavier child is sitting in the lower position, which is in the front of the stroller. - There is plenty of space between the two seats so you can lie one seat down completely when one kid is napping. - This stroller looks really good with the textured fabric, quilting (I LOVE quilting) and vegan leather details. It’s looks a lot more expensive than it is. - Machine-washable seat pads (imagine all those milk and food spills) - The stroller can fold down with the toddler seat in the forward-facing position. - You don’t have to buy any additional adapters for the second seat or Graco carseat - Second seat comes with a snack tray/drink holder too! - Stroller comes with a parent drink holder - VERY roomy storage compartment - The handle adjusts to different heights - Good suspension Cons: - Larger toddler seat is not as tall as I would like, but the larger weight capacity of the seat in the lower position makes it worth not being able to use the canopy soon. - This stroller is heavy, but it’s not a big deal to me because I mostly walk in the neighborhood or on a trail near my house. - I wish the second seat were as big as the toddler seat that comes with the stroller, but the 50 lb weight limit still applies, so that's awesome. - Second seat canopy doesn't unzip to extend like the toddler seat's canopy. The long version: When I was pregnant with my first baby, I wish someone had advised me to buy a stroller that can eventually turn into a double stroller. In fact, I wish I bought a whole travel system where the car seat works with the stroller without any additional attachments (meaning extra $$). In my 3.5 years as a mom, I have used 6 different strollers and this one makes it stroller #7. So I would say I have a fair amount of experience in this area. I have 2 boys. One is 41" tall and 35 lbs and the other is 30" tall and 21 lbs. Munchkin #1 is at that height and weight where he can no longer sit in the smaller seat of some strollers. While this doesn't sound important, it means that in my current stroller, he can only sit in the bigger seat and that seat can only be in the TOP configuration. So I have to lift this heavy kid into the top AND less face time with Munchkin #2. Enter the Graco Premier Modes Nest2Grow Stroller where the larger seat can be configured in the top OR lower positions AND has a 50 lb weight limit AND you don’t have to buy an additional adapter for the lower position. It slides out of the bottom of the stroller basket area. The stroller also comes with the click-in adapters if you buy the Graco carseat, but I don’t have that carseat. (I had to buy another adapter to use my carseat with my stroller, but they are two different brands). A couple of other nice features of the stroller: - it comes with a snack tray/cup holder for each seat and a parent cup holder. I had to buy those things for my current stroller. - The top seat can slide up and down in 3 positions. I have the top seat facing me and the lower seat facing out and when Munchkin #2 naps in the top seat, I can lie it all the way down. - The stroller is wider than my current stroller and it maneuvers better than my stroller when Munchkin #1 sits in the front. Final thoughts: you really get a lot of the features that premium strollers have, but at a fraction of the price. For me, the ability of the stroller to hold 50 lbs in the lower position is a major win because I’ll be able to use this stroller until my kids don’t need to be in a stroller anymore. I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but this review is my own honest opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to the Stellar Product Panel for giving me the chance to review the out Graco Nest-2- grow second seat. Out of the box the look and feel of the second seat seemed very high-quality. The installation from the box to the stroller was effortless. Both of my kids love this stroller and the second seat option. As a parent of two very active kids it is nice to have the room to store whatever they want to bring on our family outings and give them both space to sit down. My favorite feature is that this second seat is not permanent and there are other attachments that can be put in the second seats place. As our family grows this is an amazing option. My only complaint is that the second seat does wobble a little bit. While it is secure, the fact that it will wobble back-and-forth when my child is in there was a little unsettling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This second seat is super easy to attach to the existing stroller. I love that it can face both ways, and that it can easily slide closer to the person pushing the stroller. I couldn’t quite convince my headstrong 3 year old to test out this position but having the seat in the lowest position, facing backwards seems super comfy for an older toddler who could rest their legs in the basket and have easy access to snacks.
