BOB Sport Utility scored 6 out of 10 points, which is below only the BOB Ironman the top-rated model. The suspension and large wheels make it easier to run on, and its air-filled tires and suspension system are better able to absorb the impact of rough surfaces than the smaller tires on rival joggers (including our other BOB strollers including the Revolution Flex and the Thule Urban Glide 2 which both scored 9).

In terms of maneuverability In terms of maneuverability, the Sport Utility does very well but it's not as easy to turn like some of the other models in this review. It is necessary to tip the handlebar to turn. This works well on flat surfaces, but can be difficult to navigate in tight spaces like grocery stores or cafes.

The BOB Sport utility offers the same safety features that most other joggers offer such as 5-point belts, a foot brake and a hand brake. It also has the ability to fit most infant car seats with adapters that are sold separately. The brakes were quick and easy to operate, but we didn't like the fact the requirement to place a lock in front of the seat whenever you were walking or running.

This stroller is a great option for families who are on a budget. It has all the necessary safety features, such as a 5-point harness as well as a the tether strap to ensure your children's safety on excursions.

The Expedition isn't as great in some areas as our top-scoring models. It doesn't have suspension to help absorb the impact of bumps and uneven terrain, which can be uncomfortable for kids who are young. The metal wheels won't last as long as those with larger tires, making it not an ideal choice for rough surfaces.

Furthermore, the canopy is quite small, which means it's not able to provide a lot of coverage or protection from the sun. Despite its flaws it is a great choice for families. Baby Trend Expedition makes a ideal choice for parents who are on the tightest budget and want an all-terrain stroller.

The only niggle was that the handlebar brake isn't as flexible as we'd like, and the Nipper Sport V4 can't be used with a baby car or car seat (although it can take an infant insert and an appropriate carrycot for occasional night-time sleeps).

The instructions are very clear and we were able to put it together in less than 10 minutes. The hood and seat lining must be fitted by you but it's not that difficult. It's just a matter of patience to feed the harness straps through the corresponding slits on the cushioned seat liners. The back of the seat is a medium-sized storage pouch however it's not large enough to hold a change bag.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Sport V4 can be used from birth, however it's recommended to wait until your child is six months old before utilizing it for running. This is because the harness isn't strong enough to hold a newborn, so you'll need to buy an additional carrycot or a newborn insert.
