After watching the exciting new ITV 2 show Victoria we decided to take a family trip to nearby Hampton Court Palace to indulge in a bit of royal history, albeit from a different era. This beautiful landmark, built by Cardinal Wolsey in 1515 for Henry VIII, is only a short bus ride away. So on a sunny Sunday afternoon these beautiful surroundings seemed the perfect location to take our new Baby Jogger City Premier for a stroll.
We had a wonderful day and were luckily with the weather for late October. We ate Sunday lunch at their cafe. Daddy Long Legs enjoyed roast turkey and Caspian and I shared a generous portion of fish ‘n’ chips. Then we ventured out to explore the grounds.
FEATURES AND EXTRAS FOR THE CITY PREMIER
Like a true prince Caspian sits comfortably on his new throne. He happily commands where we venture to next. The seat can be turned both ways, so perfect if you prefer having your little one face you instead. The City Premier also reclines to a completely flat position. This allows our boy to relax and nap when out and about. The stroller is on the heavier side so feels robust and sturdy yet is still easy to push and glides along smoothly.
One of my favourite features is the generous sized basket. It easily holds a week’s food shop. This also means it’s particular roomy for days out where you might need to bring a variety of items including blankets, extra layers of clothes and even food and drinks for the whole family.
Other great design features are the extendable handle with a great grip. But also the windows in the hood with magnetic (and therefore silent!) fastenings, the easy-to-reach brake meaning no more fiddling with a foot brake as well as good, sturdy wheels allowing for a smooth ride. This is a state-of-the-art stroller which even folds up in two easy steps with the seat attached!
The City Premier was introduced this year and comes in two colours; the beautiful indigo like here and an equally gorgeous tan. You can customize your stroller with a vast selection of extras. With winter approaching we chose the warm fleece-lined foot muff so Caspian is kept toasty through ’till spring. Then also a hand muff along with the recliner seat, a tray and drinks holder, which he loves and a carry bag for travelling.
Please note all accessories are sold separately. For full product information please visit the Baby Jogger website.

#KCACOLS
I’ve read great things about this pushchair – it certainly does look great! Thanks for linking up with #youtubesunday
Sounds great – like the idea of the magnetic fastenings. We have a navy bugaboo – I love the colour, but the break is starting to break (no pun intended!) so we need to get that sorted. I think I’ll be looking for a double next though, if love another baby next year if possible so holding off on a single pushchair for now! #kcacols
We used to live near Hampton Court when BB was a baby & often used to walk there…happy memories #KCACOLS
I’m considering switching to a new stroller for my youngest & I saw one of these somewhere & thought it looked good! #KCACOLS
Some pretty good features in there. The magnetic cover is a great idea for one! #KCACOLS
Such gorgeous photos! I love the look of this one. It looks like there is loads of room in it – which is always must, we are about to retire our stroller, but I would have loved this one!
Looks lovely and your photos are brilliant! x #KCACOLS
Looks great, super stylish and the little one looks like a right royal prince in this throne. And the perfect setting too!
Looks great and your little prince looks well and truly comfortable. I rarely see a pram with a tray attached to the front, our pram has one and I really find it handy when out and about for the whole day. Great review x #KCACOLS
That looks lovely and what perfect surroundings for the pictures! #KCACOLS
Looks lovely. I was always looking for a stroller with loads of room to carry stuff and the extendable handle is a bonus too. #KCACOLS
It looks fab Nadia. I love that it has a big basket nothing worse than not having anywhere to put your shopping when you have a pram to push too is there. Love how the window in the hood is silent that was always guaranteed to wake Olivia up if I touched it! Great review #kcacols
I’ve heard great things about the baby joggers! I love my silver cross but I actually think one of those would be so much better for our lifestyle #kcacols
It is a shame I don’t really need a new pram at the moment- this looks great! #KCACOLS
Looks like a fab Pram! Shame we don’t use on anymore, I used to love shopping for prams! #KCACOLS
I love the look of this pushchair, and the large basket for shopping is a huge bonus! Lovely photos too. #KCACOLS
What a lovely stroller:) someone who will win it will be very happy person
#KCACOLS
What a pretty pram! I’d love one like this for mine 🙂 #KCACOLS
Such a stylish pushchair – and practical too ! I love it, it would be perfect for my little one. Much better than the cumbersome one I have now !
Oooh I love a good buggy! This reminds me of our M&P Armadillo. Glad to hear of the big basket and looks like it’s easy to get to, – slight down side of ours. We don’t use it that much anymore because Little L likes to be independent and walk #KCACOLS
Fab review! We have the baby jogger city mini double and it has been a fab pram for my youngest three. I love baby jogger as a brand, I don’t think you can go wrong! #KCACOLS
Looks great I wonder if it comes as a double too. #KCACOLS
Looks like a really neat little stroller. We bought an umbrella folding one for a trip abroad but mainly use the buggy from our travel system still. It’s not dissimilar to this because it’s a bit more solid and holds plenty. If we ever had to buy a new one, I’d consider something like this. #KCACOLS
This stroller looks so cool, much better than they had when my kids were small! #kcacols
Lovely cute photos. Great stroller. #KCACOLS
That stroller looks amazing!!! And your little one is very very cute! #KCACOLS
He looks snug as a bug tucked in there. Gorgeous looking pram and look like you had a great day out exploring too x #KCACOLS
Love this, got all the mod cons but super sleek. I might try and win one for my niece #KCACOLS
My friend has got a baby jogger and it’s awesome . What a stunning place to have some photos !! #KCACOLS
This is a really lovely pushchair!One of the biggest problems I always had with mine were the basket never being big enough so this would have been ideal for me.All of mine are too old now though 🙂 x #kcacols
You could still get one for when you go do the weekly shop 😉 I’ve had the same problem with small baskets, so was really impressed. Thanks for stopping by x
Looks fab – and a gorgeous setting for the photos! Ive heard good things about this brand so I’m off to enter your competition now! Xx
#kcacols
Thank you lovely and best of luck! xx
Ohh what a gorgeous stroller! Looks lovely x #kcacols
Thank you Claire. Yes, it’s a beauty for sure.
What a cutie he really does look like a little prince on his throne! #KCACOLS
Thank you. He certainly acts like he owns the world at times 🙂
I have heard really good things about baby jogger, this one looks great! #KCACOLS
We tried a City Lite while in Copenhagen earlier this year and that was also great! So very impressed with the brand.
I must say, this looks super comfy! Do they do adult size? Hahah!
#KCAKOLS
Ha, ha! If so signed me up too 😀
This really is the great side of prams moving on so much in how comfy they are. My boys didnt have that much luxury when they were tiny, this one looks fab though:)

#KCACOLS
Yes, the designs have come a long way. Thanks for popping by x
I love the ability to turn the seat facing forwards or facing backwards. Our stroller does that and I can’t imagine living without that feature. #KCACOLS
Yes, now that’s he’s older he loves facing out and watching everything, but I love that I can still turn him if I want to connect. x
I wish they had a good one of these in a twin.
#KCACOLS
Can’t imagine what it’s like to have two, but yes, you definitely need a sturdy pram then! x
Baby joggers are great, I didn’t know about this one. I like the fact it’s 4 wheels not 3 as per a lot of the range. Looks like a fun day out at Hampton Court! #kcacols
It’s only come out this year. Yes, I like the four wheels too, great for tougher terrains x
Looks like a great stroller and a great day ! #kcacols
It was indeed. Thanks for coming by x
I absolutely lovery the baby jogger. I went through so many buggies and prams on my daughter and was never happy with any of them. The baby jogger is on my wishlist. #kcacols
Yes, from my experience this is such a great brand. Try another model in Copenhagen recently. Hope you’ve entered 🙂
Nice photos 🙂 this pram was recommended to us when we bought ours, but it was a previous model. Had it had the reversible handle I think we would have been sold! #KCACOLS
Well, you can always enter the giveaway and give this new model a try if you win 😉
This is a great review, and I love the photos! #KCACOLS
Lovely way to do a review. Hampton Court Palace looks gorgeous – I loved Victoria! #KCACOLS
I love a good buggy, broken ones have been the bane of my life!! #KCACOLS
I love Hampton Court! This stroller looks really good, I’ve heard goo things about baby jogger before.
#KCACOLS
How do you make your videos go from blurry into focus? I love that! Looks like you had a great day out 🙂
Brilliant review Nadia. Caspian looks very royal in his lovely pram. Great choice of setting for the review. #KCACOLS
This looks really good and we’re on the border of no longer needing a pram but a pushchair instead. #kcacols
Wow, that looks like a great stroller! I really need to purchase a foot muff for Little M now that she’s getting ready to move out of her carrycot. Will definitely be entering the competition! #KCACOLS
What a great buggy. I have heard lots about how these baby joggers are perfect for navigating the city with. Your little one looks snug as a bug, and it looks nice and substantial, which is always something that I look for. #KCACOLS
I’m coming to the end of my pushchair days now but this looks like a keeper! #KCACOLS
Wow you are so lucky to get to review Baby Jogger! Love the look of these strollers and the indigo colour of the bundle bag is stunning. Of course your son is absolutely adorable too! Going to check out that giveaway link now to see if they are available in Canada!

ah what a lovely day out to road test the pram 🙂 id love to go to Hampton Court palace. I got a bit obsessed with all things royal after watching the Tudors. haven’t tried Victoria though yet #KCACOLS
Yes, we were lucky with the weather that day. Now it’s just grey and cold here. Thanks for stopping by.
Great pics! Love the lake one #kalcols
Thank you, yes, that’s my favourite one too.
I live near Hampton Court Palace so know those bumpy gravel tracks well! Talk about taking on a challenge – if the buggy can survive a day trip there, it can survive anything. I’ve got a double buggy to get me around these days but this looks amazing. I love all your great images and it’s a brilliant prize up for grabs! #KCACOLS
It’s such a lovely area around here. Yes, we thought we’d put it to the test 🙂
This looks like a decent pushchair. I like the colour and pics are fab. #KCACOLS
Thank you. Yes, the colour is really something.
I love the look of this pram, especially the wheels – They look like they could take a bit more abuse than my current pram which falters at the slightest pebble or curb! Also looks like there’s quite a good bit of room for the legs to grow which again mine fails on! Looks like I may have to get in the market for a new pram! #KCACOLS
The wheels are really something. Caspian is long for his 20 months and more than comfortable. Can definitely recommend!
I love the photos!! Great job. Thanks for sharing, I love those smiles in the first photo 🙂 #KCACOLS
Thank you, Jen. Both the boy and the buggy were easy subjects 🙂
It looks a very sensible buggy and I love your photos (as always), especially the one with the buggy in front of the lake. #kcacols
Thank you. This one was easy to shoot 🙂 x
When my kids were babies I just had a big clunky pushchair with squeeky wheels lol. The gardens look lovely to walk around.
#KCACOLS
Yes, the development of prams has come a long way x
Wow what stunning place for photo’s and the baby jogger looks awesome! X #KCACOLS
Yes, Hampton Court Palace is definitely worth a visit x
My sister has a baby Jogger city mini and loves it. I have to say I am a fan of my maclaren globetrotter. I have to carry it up the stairs to my flat so I need it to be really light. Pen x #KCACOLS
Yes, you need a light one then. x
Brillaint video! Your little boy is absolutely beautiful. I love the deep colour of this pram. I just bought myself a baby jogger and I think I might treat myself to some extras today too that hand muff looks like a good idea 👍
Thank you. Yes, the hand muff is great – it means you don’t have to take gloves on and off going into shops etc. It wasn’t cold enough when we shot this to use it, but it’s definitely come in handy since. x
