Larktale - caravan V3 Stroller/Wagon

We have several set ups depending on the occasion. We have a a stroller with a ridding board that has a seat that is our main method of daily transport, a larktale v3 wagon for long full day outings and grocery shopping and a travel stroller that we combine with a carrier (if our 3-4 year old is walking then the baby can go in the stroller, if not we use the carrier). We don’t have a car, so our garage is basically bikes and strollers.

Larktale caravan coupe I have the two seat one It is soooo easy to push!

We had baby in the carrier while we pushed our older one in the stroller until our youngest was about 1, then we started using a double stroller! The lark is amazing! Just FYI it didn’t fit us well until our baby was a bit older though and he wasn’t a small guy by any means. You may already be planning on this but you’ll probably want something else for the first few months until baby fits.

We have a Lark and a Graco double stroller. We use the double stroller all the time, and have since baby #2 was just a few days old (born around the same as you’re due)! Kids are 21mo apart. Now he’s transitioned from the car seat carrier in to the bigger stroller seat. We live in a walkable place and I don’t really like taking walks with baby in the Lark - too paranoid about tripping on the sidewalk - I’d rather have both in a stroller. I do use the Lark and shopping cart combo, but the Lark isn’t safe for baby until like 3 months in at least. So consider what would work best for you those first few months. Maybe it gives you some time to save up a bit for both?! Keep an eye on FB Marketplace or summer yard sales for a secondhand double stroller at a fraction of the price?

I love our larktale too! Actual sun shades, high sides, easy to move around! Great for napping as well! 

Another option is a wagon! The one I have has an adaptor for the car seat and it’s been great! There’s plenty of space in it and it’s not any longer than most front to back double strollers! And more longevity.

We have a larktale caravan!

Depends on how old your first is. I have a joovy sit and stand that’s good if your oldest will be 2.5-3+ when baby is born. Younger, I’d get a full double. Or, just be a cool mom and get a wagon. Wagons are the same size (usually) as a double stroller front to back but way more useable space. I have a larktale caravan for my two and it’s amazing. It even has a car seat adaptor for newborn days.

Yep! The larktale is a push wagon not a pull! It has burly tires so it pushes well! A jogging stroller will be the most comfortable to push long miles, though, since it has a shorter wheel base being a side by side. But the wagon is more generally useful

If I had to do it all over again I would have done a snap-and-go system and then switched them to a stroller wagon with a good harness system once they were out of their infant car seats. Our double stroller was fine but we bought the Larktale caravan two years ago and that thing was a game-changer. We still pile our kids in it, and it works well for older infants and young toddlers as well. My kids are 4 now and we still use it for longer trips and outings.

Wagon! The only downside is new baby can’t ride in it for a while. I think our son wasn’t big enough until he was at least 6months old. We had a baby stroller we used for him during that time. No regrets on getting the wagon. We use it all the time. Our kids are 5 and 2.5 now. We purposefully got a wagon that could accommodate bigger kids.

We have the Larktale caravan. It’s one of the bigger wagons I’ve seen. It doesn’t stop us from bringing it places though. We live in a very walkable area. The wagon is no bigger than a shopping cart, so we often bring it to the grocery store with the kids inside. If we take it to a restaurant, we fold it once the kids are out.

I have the first model larktale caravan and LOVE IT. It’s got taller sides than some of the small ones, but it’s not as bulky or heavy as the wonderfold. I wanted one with tall sides for napping and a footwell to help prevent some kicking of siblings lol it’s not one i see talked about online but i see other families out and about with it.

We have the Chicco BravoFor2 double stroller. Once my two kids turned 3 and 4 it became really hard to push and steer that thing. (If you have a better double stroller maybe this isn’t an issue) We walk a lot in my opinion. We go to zoo once a week at least. We walk to the library and the park almost every day. We will be walking to preschool this coming school year too. I decided to look for a second hand wagon on FB Marketplace. I found the Larktale for $300. I am LOVING it. Great shade for kids, mosquito and waterproof covers, so much more storage than my stroller. It’s definitely easier to push and steer than my stroller. I think I found it at the right time for my kids’ ages and sizes. We will get so much use out of it for at least two years. I still use my stroller for going to the mall, quick trips, etc. The wagons are definitely big in size. The Larktale folds up nicely, I can get it in and out of my trunk pretty easily.
