Travel systems are meant for convenience, which is why I love them so much. I was given the Graco Modes Travel System to test out and I can certainly say it was a pleasure. Show
I’m going to be a negative Nancy right off the bat, but the second I lifted the stroller I thought that it was a little on the heavy side. However, folding and unfolding was a breeze. The car seat, on the other hand, is lightweight and was easy to carry around while my child was in it. As far as installation goes, the base was easy to secure with the LATCH system. It also has the level indicator on it to ensure the base is level and secure. There are six recline positions on the car seat, so I was able to easily adjust as I saw fit. Unfortunately, the harness height has to be manually adjusted. The stroller has two cup holders, a parent tray, and a large storage basket under it. It was large enough for my hefty diaper bag. Additionally, the stroller can convert into three different options and has 10 riding positions. It also seemed comfortable. I recommend this travel system not only because it’s affordable, but because it seems very safe and comfortable. The Graco Modes Click Connect travel system is likely one of Graco’s most popular systems. It has an extremely convertible stroller packed with features. The car seat and base are comfortable and safe. The Graco Modes certainly has a lot to offer. Quick Navigation
Price Comparison
$429.99 in stock 2 new from $429.99 as of September 14, 2022 3:46 am Free shipping The Stroller, Car Seat & SnugRide BaseThe most prized component of this system is perhaps the Modes stroller. This stroller is a convertible stroller and has three unique options. It can convert from a car seat carrier to an infant stroller, to a child stroller. In addition to these options, the Modes also has ten different riding positions. Of course, it features click-connect technology, which makes attaching the infant carrier effortless. This is the first “mode.” If you don’t want to lug along the infant carrier, you can convert the stroller to the infant position. Weight & Height Limit
Reclines Almost To Flat PositionThe forward-facing child seat can be reclined to nearly flat to create an infant carriage. The leg rest lifts up to become a pseudo bassinet. Your little one will be kept safe and snug in the five-point harness. As the seat can become rear-facing, your baby will never be out of view. How To Use ItTo use the child stroller option, simply turn the seat around and lower the leg rest. The five-point harness can transition to a three-point harness when your little one is old enough. This extremely versatile seat can accommodate up to fifty pounds. Parents will appreciate the parent tray with two cup holders. The large storage basket underneath can hold plenty of necessities. When transitioning from the stroller to the car, folding is quick and straightforward. The child tray with dual cup holders is removable so you can easily access your child. The one-handed fold allows parents to quickly store and go. The Graco Modes travel system also includes the SnugRide Click Connect 35 Car Seat and SnugRide Base. The 35 indicates the seats extended rear-facing weight limit. EPS energy-absorbing foam and an upfront adjustable 5 point harness lend to the SnugRides safety. This seat has been thoroughly crash-tested to meet or exceed all standards. Little ones will be kept cool and comfortable thanks to the newborn head support pillow and rotating sun canopy. Lightweight and Easy To CarryThe SnugRide 35 is lightweight for easy carrying when you are without your stroller. The SnugRide base features six recline positions so you can achieve a perfect fit every time. The level indicator will take the guesswork out of installation. The base can be installed using either the LATCH connectors or your vehicle’s seat belt. Though the infant carrier and base are quite comfortable and safe, the Modes stroller is the star of the show. This versatile stroller is sure to be loved by occupants and adults alike for many years. To Recap

Expiration & WarrantyThe Graco SnugRide 35 car seat and base have an expiration date of seven years after their date of manufacture. This date can be found on your specific product’s information label. RecallsMany Graco SnugRide infant car seat models were a part of a large scale buckle recall. The affected seats were manufactured from 3/1/11 to 5/31/13 and include SnugRide, SnugRide Classic Connect ( both 30 and 35), SnugRide 30, SnugRide 35, and SnugRide Click Connect. The buckle harness could sometimes be challenging to release, posing a safety concern if you had to get your child out of the seat urgently. If this recall applies to your product, Graco asks that you contact them for a replacement buckle free of charge. The Graco Modes Travel System vs. Graco Modes LX Travel SystemThe Graco Modes and Graco Modes LX travel systems are very comparable. They both have nearly identical strollers. The LX has only a few minor upgrades. The car seats have the same weight limits and offerings. However, the LX travel system includes the SnugLock base with SnugLock and InRight LATCH technology, two items that further simplify the install. The price difference is considerable and may be too great for only a few upgrades. Similarities
Differences
Graco ModesTravel System vs. UPPAbaby Cruz Travel SystemThough their design may look similar, the UPPAbaby Cruz is a few steps above the Graco Modes travel system. This is made apparent by their price tags. Though the Cruz stroller is lacking a few features seen on the Modes (like trays), it is considered a stylish luxury system. Both the stroller and seat offer fine details like high-performance fabrics and real leather. Due to the significant difference in price, it would be unfair to compare these strollers “apples to apples.” Similarities

Customer ReviewsParents praise the Graco Modes travel system predominantly for its stroller. The fact that it has so many conversion and riding options means that it can be used comfortably for a long time. However, it is not a streamlined sport model. Therefore, some individuals cite the stroller’s lack of maneuverability and ease of use. The SnugRide 35 car seat receives decent remarks. It is a safe seat, and parents don’t have difficulty installing the base. However, some find that when they put their newborn in the car seat there is a lack of head and neck support even with the infant pillow. Additionally, removing the seat from the base or stroller can be difficult.
