Graco Modes Pramette Travel System | SnugRide 35

When my husband and I first bought this stroller system it took us awhile to figure out how it folds and all goes together. Just don’t complicate things and it’s very simple. It rides very smoothly surprisingly and I love that the carseat clicks right in. Also love the pramette mode so baby can lay down and nap during walks. It took us awhile to realize that while in pramette mode you can recline the stroller a little bit more up. Lol our baby was more head down before we realized and it was a bit awkward. The bin under the stroller is big enough to fit our diaper backpack fully packed and some groceries. It drives through grass, mud, etc. It’s not too heavy and fits in my cars trunk (2013 Impala). The carseat is nice as well. I’m going to be sad when he outgrows it because it’s so convenient to just click him in and out of the car. I do wish the carseat had a better infant insert for the babies head. When baby is a newborn and in carseat their neck cranks a little more (like fully to the side because there is nothing to support it *the insert in it is not very supportive) and I didn’t want to buy one not made for the seat due to safety concerns.

This combo is amazing! I read some reviews and got nervous when I saw someone say the carseat fell out of the stroller because it didnt latch good enough so I decided to wait to see for myself. The cottering pins were a little bit of a pain in the butt to put in the back wheels but I got it after 10 mins messing with it. When people said they are small I was expecting alot smaller and not as thick as they actually are. They are probably about half and inch in length and as thick the lead from a wood pencil. I was bending the pins and trying to figure out how to put it in and was pretty rough with it well even with me being rough with the pins then never lost its shape or got damaged. This is actually really simple to put together and the instructions are just fine and very explanatory.. the carseat was super easy to figure out. I didnt even read the instructions to adjust the harness, making it tighter or looser etc. Keep in mind this is my first child and my first time adjusting a carseat and putting together a stroller. I sat down and messed with the stroller for a second and there is a bunch of little things here and there that help you learn the stroller better so I do recommend going through the instructions and messing with the stroller before using it. The carseat clipped to the stroller no problem at all. I left the stroller in the toddler position as I have in the picture and I put the carseat facing me as if I was pushing the stroller. I pushed in the middle of the carseat and moved it around a bit to make sure it would clip in. I moved the stroller around and was pretty rough with it to see if the car seat would fall out but nothing happened. It was pretty solid. It’s easy to fold down and store away. The wheels feel so smooth (of course I was just on carpet I havent tried it outside yet). I highly recommend getting this combo! It is very cute once put together I love how the “canopy”, that covers the sun from the baby’s eyes, comes so far down. I feel like it is alot more private if that makes sense. If I had to choose again I would probably end up picking this same stroller and carseat combo!! You wont be disappointed!

I researched and then searched high and low for this stroller. I specifically wanted this stroller because many strollers on the market today offer that single cheap cup holder that hangs precariously off the side of the stroller which I absolutely didn’t want. The element is only graco modes stroller to offer the double built in cup holders at least as of when I bought this last summer. It is a bit big and heavy. Takes up most of the trunk space in my Honda accord but idc. My concern was the cup holders lol I bought a smaller, lightweight stroller for travel. I do wish the tray between the cup holders was wider and a bit deeper. Modern phones (turned sideways) are too long for the tray and the tray is definitely too shallow to have it turned upright so you just have to lay it flat on the tray which isn’t secure or have it sideways somewhat in the tray which also isn’t very secure. It makes walking hard if you don’t have exercise pants with pockets or just don’t want to have to keep pulling your phone in and out of your pocket.

I bought the more basic version which doesn’t have the single hand fold with the button in the handle, but the 2 hand fold with the spring levers on the sides and it’s still just as easy to fold and I’m able to fold it and pick it up to put in my trunk in one motion since I need both hands to lift it anyway. It balances on the wheels well enough but I’ve had some moments where it’s fallen or I tried to open it and couldn’t get the wheels where I needed them so it’s got some scrapes.

It’s so smooth and easy to push but it doesn’t do well on gravel. Which is disappointing but I didn’t expect much because it’s not a jogging stroller but I was hoping it would be a pleasant surprise lol

Love that each seat mode can be forward or rear facing. Love the click connect for the infant carseat. Love that the end of the seat can be put up for babies while their legs are short and put down for toddlers for when their legs are long enough to hang. Love that the seat can lay flat for naps or quick diaper changes. Has a nice long canopy with good coverage and a mesh opening so you can see your baby. Also has a removable double cup holder and snack tray for baby but I’m not using it yet.

I was concerned about the low back side of the basket compared to the other modes strollers and other graco strollers in general. Not sure why they would make one different than the others but fortunately it hasn’t been an issue. Haven’t had anything fall out and it’s still plenty big. I am so happy I went with model. It’s great.
