Parent reviews of the Graco Symbio
The wheels rattle a bit too much.
- Design
- Inflatable wheels
- Small basket
- Brake on the handle
- Short canopy
- Small bassinet
- Small sports section
- Bucket seat with no other seating style adjustment
- Seat is very narrow
It was my first stroller and never again.
- Light
- Nice to fold
- Uncomfortable seat version
- Small basket
- Must be broken down into parts before folding
The bassinet is great. The worse thing is folding the seat unit setup - it has to be disassembled. Sloping seat is less comfortable for an older child when he or she wants to lie on the side - unfortunately it is not possible. Otherwise lightweight. Satisfaction also with the car seat.
- Very light
- Pushing it is a relaxation
- Handle can be flipped
- Loose brake, it quickly broke down
- Small storage space
Light, easy to steer. Pushing it is a kind of relax. And it has a reversing handle.
- Reversible handle
- Lightweight
- Good to ride, it's more of an off-roader, seems noisier on a straight road
- Small basket
- It seems to me a smaller carycot, but for my little one it is enough
We didn't mind the rattling at all even with our first daughter when we bought a new pushchair. Now after 8 years I just bought a carrycot and all's great. A disadvantage - the small basket, but I always have a backpack or a bag on my arm, we don't go far... The reversible handle is 100% a thing 👌
- Reversible handle
- Short canopy
- Practically no basket
- Noisy
It was so noisy, everyone around us could hear us. The basket is so small you can fit nothing in it, so there's practically no basket at all.
Your questions about the Graco Symbio
1)
Is the Symbio bassinet compatible with the Modes Stroller?
Hey, Davide,
No, the two models have different attachment systems as far as I know, so the parts are not interchangeable.

2)
I’m searching for a break replacement for the Graco stroller Symbio model. How I can avail it?
Hi, Cristina,
All I know about getting spare parts I have put together in THIS article - be sure to read it. It is, however, possible this older, discontinued model will leave you no choice as to change it, OR search for older pieces in classifieds to buy one for parts.
