Graco® Modes™ Nest2Grow™ Travel System, Ren

This travel system looks and feels like a dupe for Uppababy. It is slightly heavier, which makes putting the stroller in and out of the car more exhausting.

This stroller is such a great addition! It was incredible easy to put together, no tools needed, just click and connect. It is sturdy but so lightweight and looks fantastic! We have the SnugRide 35 DLX carseat which easily snapped into the stroller. It comes with the toddler seat with canopy as well so when our baby outgrows her carseat we already have the toddler seat. Any other attachments (like the bassinet one) are sold separate but it is great to have the option to add if its something you would frequently use. The faux leather on the push handle feels super nice in your hands and gives it a luxury feel as well. The basket portion underneath is huge and great for throwing in diaper bags, purses, shopping, etc. Keep in mind, this is quite a large stroller! So, if you are looking for something super compact and easy to travel with this one may not be what you are looking for. My only complaint is that it does not have the one handed fold down feature. You definitely need 2 hands to fold it up. It does become decently compact, but like I said, it is still a big stroller so of course it can only fold down so much. Overall, so pleased with this stroller!

Bought this stroller to use for my newborn since I didn’t get the travel system (got the car seat off my baby registry from a family member). Easy to assemble, the manual was helpful in some parts we didn’t understand. Folds easy and unfolds easy as well as light weight compared to other stroller systems. Only issue is trouble dropping the infant car seat into the click systems, had to maneuver it a few times before it clicks all the way in. Have not used the toddler seat yet, but it’s easy to add it while using the car seat click-in system to have both at the same time. Definitely recommend, it has a lot of storage space underneath and even has a netting on the bottom to leave other components and cup holder js handy as well.

I love that this can be a single or double stroller, offers either seat to face forward or backward, and is compatible with click in car seats. However, we have not found a way to conveniently get it in and out of the car without taking both seats off (disassembling 3/4 of the way).

I do not recommend this stroller.

I have no complaints about this stroller. It’s amazing. We are having our second soon so we have only been using it for one child, but I’m still so happy with the purchase. There’s plenty of storage, which was a must for us, and it’s so easy to maneuver and put away. It’s not the most compact thing, but it’s meant to carry two little people, so I feel that that is what is to be expected. I love the different positionings of the seats as well. It’s easy to have my little one closer to me in different areas and I love that.

I have a 3 year old, 1 year old, and a baby on the way. This double stroller is great. You can put the toddler seat at the top or the bottom and add a secondary seat to it. The seat is very easy to remove and to put on. It also has attachments for an infant car seat. I have my own Graco infant car seat and once the included attachments are put on it easily snaps into position and can face towards you or face the other direction. The stroller came with a parent cup holder (must have) and is so easy to put the breaks on and adjust the handle height. Folding the stroller is super easy. As long as the toddler seat is in the upright position you can either fold it with the toddler seat still on it or take the toddler seat off and fold it that way. It is a one handed fold; which is nice. My biggest brag about this stroller is the storage underneath!! I can’t believe how big it is and it was so big my 3 year old could easily fit in it with room to grow. I instantly thought of how great that storage would be for a theme park or something; like Disney World. Another great thing about this stroller is how it easily converts to a single stroller if you want to just lug one kid. For instance; if I’m just taking the baby out all I have to do is snap the car seat in and go (and not snap on the toddler seat of course). There is nothing to it! When my youngest outgrows the infant car seat I can buy the 2nd seat and it snaps right on! This stroller just looks expensive; with the brown leather handle and the nice wheels. The sunshades come down pretty far; which is great for rain or sun. It was super easy to build and took me only about 10 minutes. My kids loved it so much they refused to get out of it! I wish you didn’t have to buy the second seat separately but great stroller overall!

I really wanted to like this stroller but it is such poor quality. First the buttons on the car seat do not release correctly and it takes several tries to get the car seat to release from the carseat base and from the stroller. The attachments that hold the car seat to the stroller are flimsy and do not align with the car seat. It takes multiple attempts to get the carseat attached each time. I’ve had this stroller 10 weeks and the wheels have already stopped working. They constantly get stuck not facing forward which obviously makes steering difficult. At the store they won’t even roll and they just slide across the floor. I was hoping I would be able to have this stroller last through two kids but it looks like it won’t even survive one.

This is a great stroller. Easy to assemble easy to fold. This stroller is kind of heavy and has no suspension. Stroller is suitable for someone living in the suburb’s. Not suitable if you live in a big city because is big and not suitable for public transportation.

When it came time to get a stroller, Graco was my only choice. I know Graco to be the leader when it comes to baby safety. This did not disappoint. It went together fairly easy and extremely sturdy, as well as easy to use.
