Larktale started in Australia in 2014 as a maker of lightweight strollers. Founded by Simon Whiston, Larktale's first two strollers, the Coast and the Chit Chat, were "designed to fill a gap in the market for a range of prams and strollers that look great; are highly manoeuvrable, strong and light; with design features that make a big difference to mums’ lives; and take up less space." [1]
In 2019, Larktale was bought by Dynamic Brands, the company behind Baby Jogger's turnaround and subsequent sale to Graco. The company then expanded Larktale's line into stroller wagons.
The name Larktale is a combination of lark, meaning something done for fun, and tale as in adventure. Their goal is to "(help) create fun stories."
The company divides its strollers into two parts: stroller wagons and lightweight, compact strollers.
Flagship model: the Sprout
The Larktale Sprout (50 lbs., see price on Amazon) is touted as the first-of-its-kind, size-adjustable wagon. It converts from a single seat to a double by extending the chassis (no tools needed) and adding a second seat. You can also extend it and add a mesh cargo divider to carry toys or groceries.
Included with the Sprout:
- Fully reclining seat
- Pull bar for "wagon mode"
- Second seat
- Multi-position sun canopy with pop-out visor and peek-a-book window
- Rain cover
- Kids snack tray and bumper bar
- Mesh cargo divider
- Flat fold with lock
- Adjustable, leatherette handlebar
- Mesh interior pockets (4)
- Lockable, swivel front wheels are no-flat rubber and have all-wheel suspension
- Infant car seat adapters available for Nuna, Maxi Cosi, Clek and Cybex
- Locking foot brake
- Storage basket
- Parent console and cup holder
While the Sprout is spacious with only one child (40 x 28 x 48"), the expanded size (48 x 48 x 45") may be a bit tight. The second seat does not recline, hence this wagon may be best for children of different ages rather than twins.
Do they offer a military discount?
