High quality but difficult to use
I would not recommend this particular stroller/wagon combo, but based on the quality I would absolutely still recommend Larktale as a brand. TL;DR I was willing to accept the undesirable weight and folded dimensions and a clunky open/close for the sake of an easy transition between stroller and wagon mode. Now, I feel like I sacrificed on ease of use (opening/closing, weight, dimensions) without the benefit of a truly “does it all” because it requires so much planning ahead & extra effort. Full review - This is my first Larktale purchase and the first thing I’ll say is the quality is very, very good. Smooth ride and you can tell it’s sturdy and will last a long time. Once it is open in either mode, it’s great. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end for me. Opening and closing the stroller is really difficult. Every time. I know the steps well now, but it’s still really frustrating - it feels clunky and challenging. It’s not a quality issue, it’s just a mechanics issue due to the nature of the design. Our nanny and my husband can’t get the hang of it at all. Separately, my biggest issue is that it’s not simple to go between stroller and wagon mode. This is a major problem, as I specifically purchased with the intention of being able to alternate EASILY between modes *at any time* and the marketing led me to believe that would be the case. I honestly don’t know how I’d safely contain my toddler while changing between modes midway through an outing - the amount of time it would take, not to mention the attachments I would have to think ahead of time to bring (handle, additional seat, extra canopy) would limit me to deciding at the time we haul it out of the car (or even when loading it into the car from the house, if I want to avoid bringing attachments) whether it’s going to be a stroller or a wagon type of day. That might be fine for some families - for me, it was a big disappointment as the whole reason I bought this was to have one single do-it-all that can switch modes at a moments notice instead of a separate wagon and (double) stroller. With how challenging the transition is, I have to think about which one I want to use beforehand. At that point, I might as well just own both a stroller and a wagon and grab either/or from the trunk or house. When folded, it takes up the entire width of my full size SUV trunk, limiting what else I can bring in my vehicle. It’s also heavy, and the dimensions make it unwieldy to manage. Again, I don’t have issues lifting but our nanny does. She’s not old or incapable, just petite. With the amount of room it takes up, I could easily fit both a stroller and a foldable wagon in my trunk. This folds very flat, super storable upright in a close at home, but it still takes up a lot of surface area in the car. Overall, I’m disappointed by my choice and wish I would have purchased a separate wagon and stroller. I wanted to love this product, the idea is genius, but it’s just not functional for us. Also, feedback for future versions: since the wagon push handle can stay installed folded or open in either mode, that should come standard instead of the pull handle.

Wonderful stroller, but not big enough.
I bought this stroller and absolutely fell in love with it, until my daughter didn’t fit! She is nowhere near the 50 lbs maximum yet, but when she sits in stroller mode, it’s about 5 inches too short. PLEASE make another version that has a taller seat!

offering great convenience for both parents and ki
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with this stroller-wagon combo! The quality is fantastic—everything feels sturdy and well-built. The accessories and features are amazing, offering great convenience for both parents and kids. Once you figure out how to use it, it’s super easy to maneuver. My only wish is that it included a handle to push the wagon when it’s in stroller mode, and a bit more detailed instructions would have been helpful for the setup. But overall, it’s a great product that I would definitely recommend!

Definitely a life saver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay first off let me say this is definitely five stars but it’s not a smooth transition from stroller to wagon. But overall I love this!!! And actually looking forward to wagon mode with a toddler and a newborn in a car seat. It’s definitely keeps them safe for a fun ride in all terrains.

I really like the stroller
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very comfortable stroller and wagon. The set includes a bag, a plate for snacks and a cup holder. The stroller is easy to control, the wheels are easy to maneuver. Its shade is light gray.

Great quality and craftamanship
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using a stroller-wagon hybrid, and my first time trying Larktale. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality, durability, aesthetic, and comfort of this stroller/wagon. It's weatherproof, has sunshades for both stroller and wagon, and comes with rain covers. This makes it ideal for any weather, rain or shine. The stroller is comfortable and padded, and the wagon is roomy and can accommodate two little ones. A well at the bottom of the wagon can be opened up to make legroom for larger toddlers. I also love that the handle is also padded and ergonomic. So nice that the parent's comfort is also kept in mind! The stroller and wagon are both easy to maneuver with durable wheels that turn easily and don't stick. The manual is great but only has drawings, not descriptions. We found it a little tricky setting up the stroller and turning it into a wagon initially, but have now gotten the hang of it. I will say that following a video on setup makes it a lot easier! We also found that it would be difficult to switch from stroller to wagon while you're out and about, so choosing one or the other and assembling it before leaving is best. My husband and I are both so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. We've been using it daily and it still looks brand new. The safety features are also great and easy to use. We love that the wagon also comes with a harness, as our baby has the habit of standing while we're on the move. Overall, I love this and actually prefer it to any simple stroller or wagon that I've tried in the past. My toddler also loves it and will eagerly sit inside to be pulled around. She enjoys long walks and outings, and doesn't complain at all due to how comfortable it is. There is also sufficient storage for small grocery trips or to keep snacks and my purse when we're exploring the city. I cannot recommend this enough, and am completely sold on the wagon feature. This would make an AMAZING baby shower gift.
