Graco® Modes™ Nest2Grow™ Travel System, Ren

I was drawn to this travel set mainly for the dual/double stroller compatibility. I didnt want a wide stroller for my 2 year old and newborn so this has been perfect!

This is the infant car seat and stroller system. It is fully expandable to for other additions. The infant car seat is easy to set up in the car and removes easily to attach to the stroller. The seat is positionable on 4 incline levels for in the car. In the stroller, the seat can be forward facing or rear facing. The stroller has lots of room. It has big oversized wheels and a big bottom area for diaper bags and more. Overall, very useful and nice.

Thus far I’ve only used as a single stroller:

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.

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!

This is the BEST STROLLER EVER. We have the infant seat that can click connect into the top and then my toddler can ride in the front. I absolutely love that everything is modular and we can fit it to our needs. Even being a double stroller, this is still much smaller than our singular jogging stroller we had for our first son. We will definitely be buying a second seat for when my 4 month old is out of the infant seat.

Not a good quality material. It’s a shiny cheap looking material versus a nice cotton material.

This is a good, sturdy stroller. It maneuvers well. The seat is more narrow than I prefer, but my 3 year old is happy enough in it. Love that we can use it with just her or with the baby’s car seat as well.

This travel system is the best. It’s sturdy and easy to assemble. The kids love how comfortable this is. I like how easy it is to fold, push and maneuver.
