Larktale - crossover V2 (2 Seater) Convertible Stroller Wagon

Honestly, I don't use a stroller as much as I thought I would. I have four. Evenflo Pivot Xpand-Given to me as a gift. Pros: Pretty great for a toddler and newborn. I really love the fact that the car seat can click into the stroller. And the bassinet feature is another thing I love. I can bring a baby carrier and just the bassinet and use it for either baby. I let my toddler run around while baby lies in the bassinet. Then put baby in the carrier while the toddler sits in the bassinet/toddler chair. Cons: The frame is pretty flimsy. Feels like it'll break within a year of constant use because it squeaks and moves side to side easily. Hate the fact that it comes with a detachable cup holder. When you're going through the door or putting it in the vehicle, it falls off and rolls away lol. I just ended up buying the Momcozy stroller organizer for it. Very bulky and heavy. It's hard to bring up and down stairs, especially in double stroller mode. But it is a double stroller lol. The soft spongy handle gets ruined pretty easily. We had ours in the back of a truck and I got it out and the handle was shaved down. :( Evenflo Pivot Travel System-Given as a gift. Essentially the same points as the Xpand. Just no double mode. The bassinet that comes with it does lay flatter than the Xpand bassinet though. Larktale Crossover Convertible Stroller/Wagon-Bought myself while on sale. Actually really loved it initially. Pros: 2 in 1. Can easily turn into a stroller or wagon given the circumstances. I like all the accessories it came with. Pretty durable and we used it in the mountains on trails and stuff. Cons: It was difficult to turn into stroller or wagon mode initially. Sometimes the pull handle would pop out if you didn't put it on properly. Never used the second seat. The wheel fell off on the third use. One of the clips in the front fell off while my baby was in the wagon and I had to Macgyver it back together. I hate that I can't see baby. I would genuinely prefer a Wonderfold so I can see baby in front of me. Bily Easy Compact Umbella Fold & Swing-Away Canopy Deluxe Umbrella Stroller-Given as a gift. Eh. Typical cheap umbrella stroller. Kinda of difficult to open or close. We can hang it up but it does fall open a bit. Do love the convenience of it. But it is long. My heart is really set on the Nuna Trvl. If you can afford it, I'd splurge on that. I've used it every chance I got whenever I can. And it's sooo compact. So all in all, I think if I could. I'd splurge on the Wonderfold W2, Nuna Trvl, and keep my Pivot Xpand lol. Really try to test them in store as much as you can. Fold them up, unfold it, lift it every way possible, try the straps, run around the store with it if you have to lol

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?

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.
