Can There Be Style and Substance on a Budget?

I'm sure you've noticed by now that I'm a bit of a stroller snob. But lately with friends having babies and, well, let's face it, the economy going sour, I've begun to wonder: is it possible to buy an affordable stroller that is attractive and fulfills all your stroller needs?

The answer I came up with was yes. My pick is the Terra Stroller by Mia Moda (Shown in Surfer Black). It packs all the essentials into one stroller: you can use it from birth, it has three recline positions, it has a five point harness for safety, all wheel suspension for a smooth ride, lockable front wheels, and it's car seat compatible with the Mia Moda Viva Car Seat, which turns it into a Travel System.

It's also got some extra features that, while expected by many modern parents, are actually luxuries like ergonomic handles, adjustable handlebars, a generous storage basket, a handlebar console for parents, and a detachable snack tray for baby.

It also looks stylish and more expensive than it is, which is perfect for parents with more good taste than money. Speaking of price, the Mia Moda Terra Stroller is only $130 with free shipping at Strollers.com! Now that is what I call an attractive bargain.
