Best Wagon for a Growing Family
Best Wagon for a Growing Family
When we started looking for a stroller wagon, we wanted something that had enough room for our growing family. Other options would require either a wagon that was too big for our current only child or would require an upgrade if we needed more than two seats. With the Larktale Caravan, neither of those concerns are valid. I love the flexibility that the Caravan offers! The fact the dual sun shades, basket, rain cover, and parent cup holder come standard was just icing on the cake! The reclining feature is awesome and easy to operate. The interior child pockets made it easy to leave my toddler’s drink within reach. The pockets for parents were super handy and kept our necessities readily available. I can’t wait to purchase the snack tray and car seat adapter when our next baby arrives. We may go ahead and purchase the dual-seat adapter for fun outings with friends! I love the versatility this offers!
The wagon was well packaged with additional cardboard and styrofoam. If you open it right side up, the directions are easy to spot and follow for assembly. Assembly was quick, easy, and pretty straightforward. The wheels are easily removed to fit in tighter storage spaces. Opening and closing the wagon is effortless. When pushing or pulling the wagon, it glides with ease. Corners didn’t seem to be a problem and were easy to maneuver. Our only difficulty is traveling with the sunshades attached. We had to remove them to put the wagon in the back of my 2019 Pathfinder comfortably. Maybe with more use, we can find a more efficient way to store while traveling.
My only complaint is that the basket itself was not large enough to hold our diaper bag. We also attempted to put the diaper bag on the second seat, but it kept falling on our child with the footwell open. We decided to close the footwell and make it a flat space, but it wasn’t ideal as my child didn’t have much legroom. We ended up carrying the bag for most of our zoo adventure. Although we loved having the parent cup holder, it wasn’t super stable. It tends to move a lot.
Overall, the Larktale Caravan is a luxury, versatile option. The seats were plush and comfortable for my toddler, and he loved the freedom the wagon offered. My husband and I were impressed by the birth of the sunshades and how well it kept our child guarded from the sun. We will definitely be recommending this wagon to everyone we know.
