Verdict

The Modes Pramette costs $250. It includes a bassinet mode that the Cruz V3 and Vista V3 charge extra to match. The seat reverses, and Graco car seats click in without adapters.

Its folded footprint is the largest compared, and the seat fabric is not machine washable. The Chicco Bravo at $50 more is the better buy for most budgets.
