OFF-ROAD STROLL

Standard child strollers are fine for smooth city streets and paved recreation paths, but even the briefest foray off the beaten path reveals a glaring shortcoming: Since they lack suspension, the ride is bumpy, uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous. Enter BOB’s new Sport Utility Stroller, complete with three inches of rear-wheel suspension. Thus equipped, rocky, rooty hiking trails become fair game for you and your little one. To help you leave the tarmac behind, the SUS features quick-release wheels and a folding design that allows it to squeeze into most trunks. The suspension is even adjustable to accommodate your growing child. Sadly, though, the SUS has a 70-pound weight limit, so you’ll have to be content with your Jeep. $280.
