Overview

Graco builds the Modes Nest as a bundle of a rear-facing infant seat, its base and a stroller, all in Sullivan fabric on a grey frame. A forward or rear facing stroller seat is listed.

A metal frame and an infant seat that clicks in cover the first stage, and the listing names several compatible SnugRide seats. The limitation is stroller weight and the stated lack of a brake system.

Who it's for

A family buying for a new baby that wants a car seat, base and stroller in one box is the situation described. Parents who need a compact, light fold or a stroller with a listed brake should check other models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Infant seat and base included
  • Seat faces forward or backward
  • Two cup holders
  • Works with listed SnugRide seats
Cons
  • Heavy to lift
  • No stroller brake listed
  • No built-in light
  • Adult assembly required

Performance notes

The aluminum frame carries the load and the infant seat locks in so the baby stays buckled between car and stroller. Wheel diameter and plastic tires set how it rolls over uneven ground. A listed lack of brakes means parking depends on the user.
