Larktale Caravan V3 vs Larktale Sprout V2
Larktale's two wagons differ in how a second child arrives. The Caravan V3 is $750 and 40.5 lb, seats one or two children as sold, and an optional Double Seat Kit takes it to three or four riders. Larktale lists 93 lb for it. The Sprout V2 is $800 and 43.5 lb, begins as a single and expands to a double wagon with no tools or extra conversion kits, second seat included, but its limit is 50 lb per seat. Folded, the Caravan is 13.6 x 25 x 44.5 inches, long and flat; the Sprout is 28 x 28 x 17.5, shorter and squarer. Three or four riders rule out the Sprout; for one child now and another later, its included second seat and squarer fold are worth the extra $50.
Folded, the Larktale Sprout V2 makes a 7.94 cu ft box to the Larktale Caravan V3's 8.76 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Larktale Caravan V3 misses by 22.5 in and the Larktale Sprout V2 by 14 in. The Larktale Caravan V3 is 3 lb lighter by its maker's figure (40.5 lb to 43.5 lb). For taller parents, the Larktale Caravan V3's handlebar reaches 48 in against 43.5 in.
