Graco Premier Modes Lux Stroller, Midtown Collection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Starting off I loved the all of the configurations that are available. This stroller will certainly grow with your little one. The design is beautiful! The quilted fabric looks very nice and the vegan leather handle grip really take this stroller up to the next level. Removing the seat was very easy and replacing the seat was equally as easy just gripping the back handle. My favorite features were hands down the quilted fabric and the 'click' to latch. The audible click lets me know that it is securely attached and gave me peace of mind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What mom isn't always on the hunt for the perfect stroller? I know I am, and this one comes pretty darn close to being perfect! I absolutely LOVE the leather trim, accents, and handle bars—I have gotten so many compliments on this stroller because of these gorgeous details! The leather gives this stroller a true luxury feel, and I love it. This stroller already comes with a nice plush seat liner making the ride even more comfortable for my little man. The best thing about this stroller I that it comes with everything you need without having to buy expensive add-ons like some of the other luxury brands out there: it comes with a cup holder and comes with the adapters to use with the carry cot/bassinet or for your Graco infant car seat making this such a versatile stroller! I love that I can use the stroller seat for my two year old or I can use the car seat or bassinet for my baby; it's so nice to quick click in the car seat while running fast errands or use the bassinet for better positioning while out on longer walks. This allows the stroller to truly fit everyone's needs! The large, off road, no leak wheels really give this a smoooooooth ride, and the huge basket is a definite plus particularly now having a newborn and a toddler. Overall, I am so in love with this stroller not only because it's beautiful and luxurious but because it really is practical and affordable too. Thank you to the Stella Product Testing Panel for allowing me to rest this stroller in exchange for my honest feedback; I am beyond thrilled with this stroller!This stroller has truly become our every day stroller for both my toddler and my newborn for neighborhood walks, errands, and running around. Here's my run down of this stroller: Pros: -a beautiful stroller that's aesthetically pleasing and luxurious looking -leather trim, accent and bars -no having to purchase extra pieces or adapters—it's all included with the stroller! -large, rubber, no air tires make for a worry free, smooth ride -large basket with zip pocket (perfect for wallet, keys, phone!) and a water bottle pocket -included plush seat liner -fabric cleans up so easy! (even from spilled coffee, whoops!) -able to fit the needs for my toddler AND my newborn!! -so easy to change between newborn bassinet and toddler seat -one handed fold is amazing when your mom arms are full -telescoping handlebar makes it a comfortable push for both me (5'6”) and my husband (6'1”) -super expanding canopy for venting or sun protection but then tucks away so nice Cons: -honestly, there really is nothing I dislike about this stroller. I do wish there were some Graco-specific available add ons like a stroller board so I could haul both of my kids at the same time, but I'll be able to get a universal stroller board no problem for it. LOVE this stroller! So much thought was put into the little details to make it comfortable for my entire family (husband, toddler, and newborn) and absolutely beautiful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller as part of the Stellar Product Review Panel and can't say enough good about it! With superior quality from the beautiful quilted seat cushion to the silky umbrella to the leather handles--no details were left out! I especially love that the handle extends as my husband and I are both quite tall. The under basket is also huge which is great for storing all of our baby gear. We have used this for our 5 month old and 2 year old and love the option of forward or backward facing, recline or upright, and foot extender. The umbrella is also amazing as it can extend to almost completely cover our child and protect from the elements. We've used this on flat surfaces and trails and, though a bit bumpy on the trail, it held up nicely. I feel like a celebrity when I'm out walking with this stroller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looking for a super lightweight stroller that you can just have on hand instead of your heavy stroller you got on your registry? Here it is! Graco Premier Modes Lux Stroller. This stroller is very light weight and glides smoothly. I love that I can use it for my 2 year old and also for my 5 month old. You are also able to use different attachments with this stroller as well. Car seat and cot (I will be reviewing next) it is very easy to transition them in and out. I do like that it comes with a cup holder for you to take along your bottle of water or any other drink. And the large storage basket is awesome! I did have a a little trouble with the folding up of it with the seat on. But other than that I really love the sleek design, quality and features of this stroller! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for another great product to try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What can I say, I loved this stroller! Right out of the box it won me over with how quick I was able to assemble it (super clear directions were a plus) and start getting the go! In terms of functionality, it does easily fold and unfold with one hand (a must have perk when your child is taking up the other), the different seat options pop in and out and switch from front facing to back like a breeze, and the steering is so well done I was able to easily maneuver it one handed. It has great safety features as well such as the front wheels that can both free swivel or lock depending on the terrain, the easy to use foot break, and the extended canopy to block out the sun. I did find the frame to be a little more wobbly than I liked but it didn't seem to affect the safety. I'm not big on style (in more into function) but even I'll admit the stroller has a classy vibe with the color and accents that made it stand out among other strollers. I'm looking forward to using the toddler seat once my daughter is older but for now we both loved the bassinet style attachment and being able to pop her sar seat right in (which meant even less “stuff” to lug around - huge perk!). Thanks to the Stellar Products Testing Panel for providing me and my new baby with this stroller! Now to keep using it on more of our adventures together!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I really want to get 3.5 stars but that is not an option. The stroller is very sturdy and smooth, I have an older Graco which I stopped using because it was not a nice ride for my kiddo. The tires on this stroller are real rubber tires which make it a better ride plus it handles bumps better for the kid and me. This was my favorite aspect, it turns very easily, handles steps great and is easy to stop or push up hill. It's a relatively light stroller (my other is 35lbs for reference). The basket underneath is pretty large, my daughter uses it as her storage so Teddy, her backpack, blankets are in there as is my sons bottle, blanket and my wallet and there was still ample space to put stuff. Because it's not directly below the seat you can easily put an adult size stuffed backpack or diaper bag in the basket without have it to stuff it under a seat or struggle to get it out. There is a zippered pouch on the inside of the basket that you could put important things like a wallet, keys or phone, it's not see through so it offers some privacy/security for those small important items while out. There is also a small crevice you can stick a bottle of water or your kids cup in, it's kind of like a fabric cup holder built into the side in the basket. It was easy to put together, it took 4 mins once I pulled everything out of the box to when it was all set up. It also folds down very easily, I'm 5'4 and was able to do on my own. I have a double stroller than takes basically 2 people to fold down. Now the cons…. There is 1 actual cup holder and it's on the push handle so more for the adult. There is not a tray or cup holder for the kid or for whatever adult Who is walking with you. There is no tray on top for the adult or a tray for the kid. These are both deal breakers for me. It's a single stroller so I carried my son in an infant carrier on me, bending down to grab my phone, wallet, keys is not comfortable, I want easy access to these items with something on top for me. I want my husband to also be able to have his own water in the stroller. My daughter is 2.5, pretty skinny and still lacked space to holder her water bottle with her. I also didn't prefer the straps, the side hooks into the top which then click into the bottom. When you have a toddler having a tantrum you don't want to deal with extra steps to strap them in. The covers also easily slide off the straps, I took them off and put in the basket because I almost lost them. If graco put kid trays and adult trays on this I would be sold, the rest wouldn't bother me but the lack of trays make this stroller not as useful to me.

This stroller is well-made for the most part. It's very spacious and will accommodate our baby as he grows. The materials are a good quality. We especially like the rubber tires. The ride is very smooth and can effortless roll over rocky or grassy terrain. The drawbacks: it's really heavy and does not close easily. We really want to like this stroller for how well it handles and for the quality of materials. But closing it is like a roll of a dice, and it takes many attempts to get it to close. It is really heavy, which we didn't think would be a problem until trying to load it in a car. We can't even imagine trying to take public transit with this as it would be very difficult to get up and down stairs. In all, we would recommend it if you do not plan on closing it or lifting it. Otherwise, explore other options.

The stroller is nice but paying almost $500 then it says it will be 3-1 witch says it turns into a bassinet is a lie you have to purchase bassinet ($200) more

Have used the stroller for about 8 months now, there's certain things I loved about it but my biggest disappointment was how wobbly the frame is and the attachments for the car seats bent. So I would find it very hard to attach my infant car seat to the stroller. The canopy is great and basket storage is great. Overall is an okay stroller for the price. I think you can find another model for less with the same functionality as this one for less $

To be fair, I now realize that most Graco travel systems are this way now, but I for one strongly prefer being able to snap the infant seat directly on to the stroller WITHOUT having to remove the toddler seat. My baby (9 mos) is sometimes asleep when we get where we're going, in which case I like to keep him in his infant seat- but sometimes he's awake and wants to be in the toddler seat. With this stroller, you either have to take out the toddler seat (and find a good place to keep it), and attach two extra small parts (better not lose them!) before you can click the infant seat into the stroller. Then, if you want to transition back to the toddler seat you have to go through all those steps again in reverse. I know some parents prefer the less-bulky option of taking out the toddler seat, but to me the hassle of all the extra steps and lose parts is not at all worth it. The other drawback to taking out the toddler seat is that you can't keep a sleeping baby completely in the shade. With my 2 previous travel systems (Graco Fast Action and Graco Verb) the stroller shade and car seat shade combined to completely cover the infant seat. With this one, you only have the infant seat shade and if you are using it early or late in the day when the sun isn't right over head, the sun will get in the baby's face. Last, the harness system is really difficult, especially when trying to manage it with a squirmy baby. There are five different pieces that all have to line up at once. It pretty much requires two adults - one to hold baby still and the other to fasten the harness. Also, the padding on the harness straps comes off extremely easily (again, while you are struggling to keep your baby from diving out of the seat while you try to manage a five-piece latch with one hand). Both sides of padding come off several times during this process, often onto the ground and mud. I think if my baby was a newborn, especially if he was my first, I wouldn't notice all the problems with this stroller. From experience with older babies, though, I'd strongly advise against this one.
