What they say:

“Explore the world together! The City Premier delivers flexibility with a reversible seat - baby can face you to interact, or face forward to discover the world. Attach an infant car seat, pram, or glider board to create 5 different riding options for your growing sidekick! Fold the seat and lift the strap - the one-hand, compact fold is as easy as it sounds! Folds with the stroller seat on, in either direction, and seat folds inward to stay clean. Includes an auto-lock and a built-in carry strap for easy transportation or storage.”

Would you recommend the Baby Jogger City Premier to other mums?

Love love love the Baby Jogger City Premier, I would recommend this pram all day long. Love the hood and the colourway was fabulous. Adjustable handle and brake on side of pram where my fave features. The recline was so easy to use on this and the massive basket I loved! It was a heavy pram but in no way did this affect it, in fact I think it added to how durable it was.

How did this product make your life easier?

The fact that my child wanted to use it made it easier but I think the best thing about it was the easy on and off brake system. The very easy fold made it so quick to pack away and get in the car and on the road again after a day out. I also loved the popper system to stop it unpopping and becoming awkward! Well done City Jogger, this is a fab design and so ingeious.

Would you choose this product to win?

I can’t praising this pram any more. The Baby Jogger City Premier is easy to use and durable and comfortable for my boy. Perfect in the city and off road, and the brake feature was brilliant - my other daughter could not take it off so my mind was at rest whilst she was about! The fold-down feature made it so easy on days out getting it back in the car. Its only downfall was being so heavy and lifting into car - muscle building at its best! The colourway is dual purpose for girls and boys and looked gorgeous!

What changes would you make to this product?

Maybe making this pram a bit lighter would make it better as it was so heavy for me to lift into car after folding. Although I think this might stop how well this pram performs on pushing and being so duarable.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

The Baby Jogger City Premier is fantastic and I loved it! It’s so easy to push and the suspension makes it a great ride for my son. The quality of the fabric is fantastic. I love the fact it can be both forward and rear facing and that you can alter the height of the handles, as I am tall and is nice to be able to find a position that is right for me.

How did this product make your life easier?

The Baby Jogger City Premier must have the biggest basket I have ever seen on a buggy. Which is just so practical when you are out and about, not only can it accommodate all the bits you have with a baby but there is room for shopping too. I also like the storage facility at the back of the seat. The flap that you can view thorough on the hood is also a fantastic idea.

What changes would you make to this product?

If I would change one thing about this buggy it would be the fact that it is very very heavy. I know that this is due to its great suspension but it does make it a very heavy product. Though if the trade-off is being heavy for great suspension, I suppose it is worth it!

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Fantastic pushchair, would recommend based on the solid quality, can be folded really flat and wheels removed, looks stylish with good quality fabric - including the hood with SPF50, baby can face the parent or the world. Reclines so that baby can sleep. Handy pocket on the back of the seat unit and the best bit being a massive shopping basket.

How did this product make your life easier?

I loved that the brake was on the side and released using my hand. We took the pushchair on holiday and used it on the beach. It was SO easy to push along the sand unlike the buggy we would usually take.

Would you choose this product to win?

It's hard to find a pushchair which will fold down very small but it still a good size when it is up. The same for the choice of which way the child can face. It's a really smart looking pram and my baby looked really comfortable in it. We managed to fit two beach bags and a ball underneath in the basket too!

What changes would you make to this product?

I think that it is quite an expensive pram although I believe it to be excellent quality. I couldn't quite believe that it didn't come with a rain cover though. I think the manufacturer should consider including the rain cover and a bumper bar as standard. It would also have been good if the hood could come down a bit further to protect the child from the sun.
