Cadillac of Wagons
Cadillac of Wagons
I have been researching Larktale wagons, and comparable wagons for some time. I ultimately decided to go with the Larktale Caravan Quad. I have one child that is 2.5 years old, and expecting baby #2 next month. I wanted a wagon that could grow with my children, so I chose the quad for this reason. The quad was bigger than I anticipated in person. I considered returning for the double, but ultimately decided it would be too much of a hassle to disassemble and ship back. My husband doesn’t mind the larger size. We received so many compliments when we were out with this wagon.
Pros:
-I love that the wagon reclines for naps
-Seems to be sturdy
-Wheels easily
-Canopies have good coverage
-Plenty of room for my son to nap, and hold additional items
-Lightweight compared to competitors, which makes loading in and out of the car easier
Cons:
-I thought the wagon would be compatible with my Chicco Keyfit 30 car seat. Currently Larktale only makes an attachment for the double seater caravan, NOT the quad. I wasn’t aware of this, so our infant carseat will not be able to attach.
-You do have to take the canopies off to fit in most trunks of the car (I have a Rav 4)
-The fabric around the velcro on the canopies is beginning to rip, and I’ve only used the wagon a couple of times. Since the canopies often have to be removed to fit in the car, I wish the material was more durable
-2 of the tires on the right side of our wagon “popped” off the rim/wheel. Not sure if this will happen again. I haven’t heard of this happening to anyone else. We “popped” it back on the rim
I ultimately removed one star because of the wheels popping off and the material on the canopy ripping. The incompatibility with my carseat is a disappointment, but doesn’t take away from the quality of the wagon. I am hoping Larktale may work with me to resolve the canopy and tire issues. Raddl has had great customer service thus far, and I am waiting to hear back from them further regarding the two issues above. I would give Raddl 5 stars for customer service alone, and highly recommend them as an authorized seller.
