Larktale Caravan Stroller Wagon Review

We ran the Larktale Caravan stroller wagon through 65 tests to compare it with the best stroller wagons on the market.

The Larktale performed well enough against the others to win our purchase recommendation primarily for its comfort and usability scores for kids and parents, as well as good maneuverability.

There are a few problems to be aware of in folding and usability that we discuss below.

Larktale Caravan

Recommended

Maneuverable, comfortable and full featured out of the box

How it Compares

The Larktale is one of the higher-priced 2-passenger wagons, priced lower than the Veer Cruiser, about the same as the Keenz 7S, and higher than popular wagons like the Evenflo Pivot Xplore and Baby Trend Expedition wagon.

It is shaped like a traditional, rectangular wagon and feels more like a wagon than a stroller. It has a push-handle like a stroller and a front handle for pulling, though the front handle isn’t really a handle.

Although it is shaped, and feels like a wagon, it has incorporated a footwell and reclining seats which provide adequate comfort for long, seated rides.

We bought the version of the Caravan that comes with two canopies, a rain cover and insect cover. There is a lower-cost version that does not include the canopies or covers.

Negative Comments About the Caravan

Most Larktale Caravan owners are very happy. We read all reviews about the Larktale and recorded common criticisms so that we could evaluate whether they were true or not.

In this table we list the complaints and our own related experience.

Testing and Research

We surveyed all the stroller wagons on the market and purchased the best-reviewed wagons for hands-on testing. We keep and continue to use each of the wagons we test to have a realistic, measurable comparison.

We tested the Caravan in five categories outlined below. Tests are conducted by multiple people over a period of time and compared to test results of other wagons.

Folding and Transport

The Larktale Caravan had mixed results in the category of Folding and Transport:

It folds quite fast without the canopies and much slower when they are properly seated and velcro-ed in.

The Larktale fold process includes folding down the handle, pulling up from the inside of the wagon, latching the wagon closed with a clip and removing the canopies.

The fold process without the canopies is 10 to 12 seconds long. Removing and stowing the attached canopies can take an extra 40 to 45 seconds.

If you can get by without the canopies, it is a breeze. You will want the canopies at most outdoor events where you anticipate sunshine.

Fold times (including canopies):

Note: The Veer Cruiser measurement was without a canopy.

Folded Size in Cubic Feet

The Caravan is in the middle of the pack for 2-passenger wagons at 8.3 cubic feet folded.

Folded sizes in cubic feet :

We were able to push it into the trunk of our Honda Civic, but just barely.

Without the canopies, the Larktale is 33 lbs. The canopies and rain and insect cover add almost 5 lbs.

Weight certainly makes a difference when you have to lift the wagon into your vehicle frequently.

Kid Comfort and Usability

The Larktale Wagon was the highest scoring 2-seater in the areas that impact Kid comfort and usability:

Most boxy 2-passenger wagons like the Jeep, Baby Trend, Keenz 7S Original, Ever Advanced and Radio Flyer do not have a footwell. The Larktale does have a roomy footwell that measures 15″ x 12″ x 6.5″.

A padded footwell cover folds over from the front seat to cover the footwell. It zips close to form a flat inner surface in the wagon for napping on and playing in.

The footwell cover zipper is difficult to access and engage the zipper.

When the cover is open, it rests on one of the seats and covers the lower harness strap. The harness can be threaded through the slit in the cover and the buckle reattached in theory. However, we had an extremely difficult time getting the strap back through the buckle to the point where we gave up and just don’t use the harness on that end of the wagon.

Aside from those problems with the cover we love that it is built-in and provides a footwell and non-footwell version of the wagon.

The seats are padded and comfortable. The footwell adds to the comfortable seating because kids don’t have to have their legs stretched out in front of them.

The wagon is also long enough to reduce the fighting over legroom.

Both seats can be reclined with a simple strap release on the seat backs. This makes napping in the seats possible as it is in most strollers.

Snack Tray and Kid Storage

There are some small inner pockets for kids but no snack tray is included in the base model. A side-mounted snack tray with kid cupholder can be purchased separately.

The separate snack trays are hard for kids to reach because the sides of the wagon are high.

The Larktale has the largest inner dimensions of any we tested at 35″ L x 17″ W x 20″ H. The height is measured from the bottom of the footwell to top of the side. The manufacturer gives the inner measurements as 36″ x 18″ but we feel like you lose a little of that to the seat thickness.

When the seats are reclined the wagon has an even roomier feel. The size difference is illustrated in the photo below where the Larktale with one seat reclined sits next to the Keenz 7S.

Getting In and Out

The sides of this wagon are high, so smaller children are not able to climb in unassisted. The good news is that the canopies push easily out of the way so you can drop kids in from the top.

Agile 2-year-olds and older kids will probably be able to climb in over the side by stepping on the frame.

The Larktale canopies are UPF 50+ and provide almost complete coverage from the sun when they are closed.

The release buttons are difficult to find by touch. I grope at them and then often have to look to find and press the buttons to remove the canopies.

It is easy enough to put them in their mounts, but to maneuver the fabric to the back of the seats and attach the velcro, then slide the side fabric through and attach its velcro takes time.

There is quite a bit of headroom at the back of the seats when the canopies are down.

While pushing the wagon, you can’t see past the canopies into the wagon and there is no window in the canopy to look through.

Parent Comfort and Usability

The Larktale tested well in areas that parents care about like storage space, cup holders, the handles and brakes. Scores in Parent Comfort and Usability:

The handle height is adjustable from 31.5″ to 46″ with a practical upper limit of about 43″. This is a large range compared to most other wagons.

The faux leather handle is comfortable although I personally don’t like the feel of the stitching on the inner part of the handle.

It folds down by pushing two buttons simultaneously. This is typical for most wagons but those that have a single button are easier to use.

There is a cross bar in the front that can be used to pull the wagon. It works in a pinch but not as well as a true pull handle which must be purchased separately.

Larktale Caravan Pull Handle

Storage Volume Ranking

There is a nice storage basket mounted on the front of the wagon with a small inner mesh pocket.

Underneath the basket is a zippered mesh compartment for keeping wet or smelly things separated.

There are a few storage compartments at the back of the wagon under the handle. One of these works as a water bottle holder.

The canvas and fabric of the Larktale cleans up fine. Some people complain that it also fades in the sun, so follow the cleaning instructions and don’t use any soap that could affect the color.

There is easy access to the inside of the wagon for cleaning out, or dumping out, crumbs. But there are a few places they can hide along seams and under the footwell cover. Crumb removal :

Brake Operation

The single brake pedal is easy to see and engage. It has a spring inside that reduces the force required to disengage the brake. We tried it barefoot and it didn’t hurt our feet.

In our runaway wagon test, it took a couple of tries to get the brake to engage as the wagon was rolling weighted, downhill. When it did engage the wagon stuttered a few times before stopping.

Overall the brake functions quite well.

Steering and Maneuverability

The Larktale is a long wagon and it performed better in our steering and maneuverability testing than we expected.

Steering and maneuverability ratings:

Pushing and Turning

The force required to get the weighted wagon rolling at a walking pace was fairly typical.

However, the force to make a 90 degree turn from a dead stop was high compared to many wagons, probably because of the length of the Caravan.

The wagon turned quite easily while it was moving.

Terrain Performance

We pushed the loaded wagon on grass, up hills, on bumpy sidewalks and on trails. Generally, it felt very smooth, but it is not built for bumpier terrain.

Grass : The Larktale rolled through grassy fields and yards with little resistance. Even making turns on the grass when fully loaded was not a problem.

Hills : It also did a good a job going straight uphill. It was hard to go perpendicular across hills as the front of the stroller pulled downhill.

Bumps : The Larktale did not do well pushing over 1-inch bumps in the sidewalk or similarly sized obstacles on trails. It wasn’t bad on leafy ground but didn’t handle sticks and roots well.

Bump ratings:

The spring suspension in front and rear wheels, along with the nicely shaped rubber tires give it a smooth ride. The wheels are typical in diameter and width for stroller wagons, and are not adequate for true, all-terrain operation.

Staying Straight

On smooth surfaces, the Larktale did a great job of going straight and not veering to one side or the other while pushing.

Straight push test results:

Overall Maneuverability Rating :

Part and Material Quality

The Larktale Caravan Wagon is durable. Here are the scores for Part and Material quality:

While we don’t care for a few design decisions like the harness buckle, footwell cover zipper, footwell harness threading and canopy velcroing, we didn’t find problems with the parts or material.

The buttons, clips, velcro and zippers work well. The footwell cover zipper works but is hard to access. We didn’t have any problem with it separating, although one customer reported that.

Handle and Folding Mechanism

The handle operates crisply and stays firmly in place. The folding mechanism is smooth and easy. The lock that keeps the wagon frame fixed in an open position sometimes doesn’t latch by itself.

The front wheels are 8 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches wide. The rear wheels are 11.5 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches wide. Slightly wider wheels would be nice but wouldn’t be enough to make it all-terrain.

We like the rubber treads on the wheels. They are adequate for the wagon’s 100 lb weight limit and produce a smooth ride for kids on flat surfaces.

Larktale Caravan Wagon vs Keenz 7S

The Keenz 7S and Larktale both have folding metal frames and a similar shape. They also both come well-equipped out of the box and have similar pricing.

The Keenz XC models have a footwell and reclining seats. The 2-passenger Larktale is a bigger wagon inside than the Keenz 2-seaters. The recline of the Larktale seats gives it even more room inside.

Both wagons have high sides which makes it impossible for small children to see directly over the sides.

The canopies have very different designs and their own strengths and weaknesses.

On the whole, the Larktale performed better in maneuverability, folding and transport and kid comfort while the Keenz 7S edged out the Larktale in parent comfort and usability. The Keenz XC has additional features that improve its kid comfort scores.

See our full review of the Keenz 7S here.

Advantages of the Larktale Caravan over the Keenz 7S:

• Better maneuverability
• Slightly better folding and stowing
• Footwell and footwell cover
• Reclining seats
• Included rain cover and insect cover

Advantages of the Keenz 7S over the Larktale:

• More storage overall
• Insulated cooler bag
• Better pull handle
• Easier buckle operation

The 7 Best Stroller Wagons for Travel

Sep 2, 2021

Sometimes you can’t convince toddlers to get in their strollers, but there’s something about riding in a wagon that’s just more fun. Stroller wagons aim to be the best of both worlds, with handles that flip around so you can either pull or push multiple kids and all their assorted gear. Here are eight stroller wagons to take on your next trip (whether it’s a vacation or just to the park). These wagons are equipped with cool accessories from cupholders to car seat adapters. Be aware, however, if you’re planning a Walt Disney trip, stroller wagons are no longer permitted in the theme parks.

Best Stroller Wagon for the Beach: Radio Flyer Beach & Boardwalk Wagon 

The trusty red Radio Flyer wagon of your childhood got an upgrade specifically for seaside  vacations. The wheels on the Radio Flyer Beach & Boardwalk Wagon are extra wide in order to handle sand, and there’s even a convenient bar to hang up to three beach chairs in addition to transporting two belted-in toddlers. 

Best Double Stroller Wagon: Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon

Sometimes siblings are happy to share, and other times, not so much. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon is perfect for toting two tots: each child has their own UPF 50 + sun canopy, and kids can either face each other (with a snack table between them) or sit back to back.

Best Collapsible Stroller Wagon: Jeep Wrangler Stroller Wagon 

The Jeep Wrangler Stroller Wagon by Delta Children folds in half easily so you can stash it in a car trunk or in the corner of a shed. The stroller wagon seats two children and features chunky wheels worthy of the Jeep name. It comes with a canopy and lots of pockets (even a diaper organizer too).

Best Stroller Wagon for up to Four Kids: Wonderfold W4F

If you’ve got a crew of kids to tote around, consider the Wonderfold W4 , which seats up to four toddlers and has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. That’s a workout. Naturally, there’s room for all the kid stuff, and the whole thing is easily foldable too. Little ones will love to get in and out through a front zippered door.

Best All-Terrain Stroller Wagon: Veer Cruiser

The Veer Cruiser looks very sporty as far as strollers go, with all-terrain wheels and camo print canopies. Kids can stash treasures in storage nooks inside the cruiser, with a footwell so they can stretch out. The Veer folds down, and you can clean the entire thing with a hose.

Best Stroller Wagon for a Comfy Ride: Larktale Caravan

Another stroller with a footwell is the Larktale Caravan , which also boasts two seats that recline for nap times. The wagon folds down quickly and includes tons of pockets for storage. Purchase dual canopies to keep the sun off little ones.

Best Stroller Wagon for Storage: Keenz Stroller Wagon 7S

The 2-passenger Keenz Stroller Wagon 7S can haul 110 pounds and includes a cooler bag that fits onto the wagon and even more storage space inside. Other included accessories include a cup holder and a sunscreen with drapes. The wagon folds down too.

History of Samara Oblast

The territory of the present Samara region became part of the Russian state in the middle of the 16th century, after the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates were conquered by the Russian state. In the 17th-18th centuries, the territory around the middle Volga was colonized by migrants from other regions of Russia and foreigners (in particular, the Volga Germans).

The intensified colonization of the region began only in the second half of the 18th century. From the mid 19th century, this region experienced economic growth. Samara became an important center of the Russian domestic grain market, which led to the development of trade and industry in the city. In 1851, Samara became the center of Samara guberniya (province).

In 1935, Samara was renamed into Kuybyshev (the historical name was returned in 1990). In Soviet times, industrialization had a serious impact on the development of the region. Construction of plants producing explosives, poisonous substances and ammunition began in the town of Chapayevsk.

During the Second World War, the region became one of the centers of the defense industry of the USSR. In 1941, an oil processing plant was put into operation in Syzran providing the army with fuel. Several aviation plants were evacuated to Kuybyshev from Moscow and Voronezh. They started production of “Il-2” attack aircraft.

More Historical Facts…

In 1942, a railway passed through Syzran to supply Soviet troops during the Stalingrad Battle. In 1941-1943, diplomatic missions of foreign countries to the USSR were located in Kuybyshev (Samara). In 1941, there were plans for transferring the capital of the country to Kuybyshev in case the German troops capture Moscow.

In the 1950s-1960s, this region was one of the leading centers of oil extracting in the USSR. In 1945-1951, Kuybyshev and Novokuybyshev oil processing plants were built. At the same time, construction of Zhiguli hydroelectric power station was resumed. It was put into operation in 1955. Because of this construction, the town of Stavropol was flooded and was rebuilt in a new place and received a new name - Tolyatti.

Later, the construction base created during the construction of Zhiguli hydroelectric power station was used to create a series of other large industrial enterprises in Tolyatti - “KuybyshevAzot” mineral fertilizer plant, “Tolyattikauchuk” synthetic rubber plant (1964-1966), the Volga Automobile Plant (1970), and the largest in the country and the world manufacturer of ammonia “TolyattiAzot” (1979).

At the same time, aviation production was expanded. Kuibyshev Aviation Plant began production of the most mass Soviet passenger medium-haul aircraft Tu-154. The Soviet rocket space program orders were also fulfilled at this plant (“Progress” rockets).

In the post Soviet period, due to saved economic potential, Samara oblast has become one of the main economic centers of the country.
