I have four daughters. I’ve tried three strollers, so when it came to choosing my fourth and final stroller, I wanted to choose wisely. After many hours of reading online, testing strollers in baby stores, and endless price comparisons, my husband and I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy the Mia Moda Energi stroller. I knew my final stroller would have to be sturdy, but I also wanted one that would make a statement. Call me vain, but after four kids, I wanted to have something nice for her to ride.

All-terrain European design without the high price tag:

We live on the beach, so we needed a three-wheeled stroller that could push through sandy and dirt paths. I have had my Mia Moda Energi Stroller for over a year and have found that it will get through dirt, potholes and sand. Its suspension ensures that your baby will not feel a thing. In fact, I often use it on long drives on our dirt roads. At first, I was afraid that the wheels were plastic. However, after a year of using my Mia Moda, all three wheels have not shown much wear. Also, I don’t have to add air to them, which is an added bonus.

Although this stroller is made in Pennsylvania, its European design offers style and practicality. Its Mercedes Benz type wheels turn heads every time I take my stroller out. Its curved nickel-colored frame adds a European touch. The Willow pattern is so awesome that I constantly have people asking me where I bought this unique stroller. But the best quality of the stroller – my daughter loves the smooth ride, the padding is superior, the harness never gets tangled, and I have an effortless push as this stroller seems to glide. It spins on a dime thanks to its swivel front wheel.

An all-in-one travel system:

When I bought my stroller, I bought the entire travel system. The infant seat is ultralight and excellent for fitting into small vehicles. The car seat effortlessly clips into the stroller. It is released with one hand. Once securely attached to the stroller, both canopies (one for the stroller and one for the car seat) expand to create a comfortable, weather-resistant stroller perfect for newborns. If you’re not looking for an infant travel system, then the Mia Moda Energi Stroller will work perfectly for a baby 6 months and older.

Easy to fold?

With four children, time is of the essence. I have an SUV and I love that this 3 wheel stroller is more compact than other designs on the market. I can get my stroller out of my SUV with one hand. After the safety clip is released, my stroller opens. However, my front tray has taken a bit of abuse. Perhaps this would not happen if you were more careful when opening it. The cable breaking system is also a novelty added to the line of three-wheeled strollers. Rest assured, there is no barrier in traditional strollers. Mia Moda threads the cable through the fabric to the front wheel. This makes it easy to fold.

Added bonuses:

I’ve found that with my previous strollers, cheap parts lead to their quick demise. So far, this has not been the case with my Mia Moda. The removable children’s tray is ideal for snack time on the go. I especially like the parent console. I can safely put my car keys and sunglasses in the console and close the lid. The cup holder is also a great feature for moms and dads on the go.

I’ve saved the best for last – if you’re tall, you’ll love this stroller. Its adjustable handlebar allows you to get the most comfortable arm position for your height, short or tall. I can adjust the handlebars so my husband (who is 6 feet tall) or eight year old daughter can comfortably push our stroller. I am tall so this feature is a must for me. I can also hang my diaper bag on the handlebars of my stroller without it falling backwards.

Overall this is a great stroller for under $160. If you are looking for a unique and practical three-wheeled stroller, you can try the Mia Moda Energi stroller. I’m pretty sure you won’t see many like this. They are only sold online.
