The chit chat ™ stroller by Larktale – Cool and funky, compact and nimble, light and strong.
Based on Sydney’s north shore, Larktale is Australia’s newest pram and stroller brand. Larktale create strollers for fun-loving parents that perfectly fit their easy-going lifestyle. All their products have been carefully designed to deliver what matters most to parents; helping them tackle the everyday with a spring in their step and a smile on their face.
During the development stage, Larktale spoke to hundreds of parents to identify the key things they looked for in an everyday stroller. The overwhelming conclusion was that a stroller should be stylish, highly manoeuvrable, fold down small and be light to carry.
To deliver this Larktale decided to manufacture an everyday stroller in a completely different way. They focused on using recyclable fibre infused nylon, compounds that had been perfected for the automotive industry.
Larktale took more than 3 years of development and testing to perfect the SpaceFrame™ technology with the first product to benefit being Larktale’s chit chat™ stroller. It’s stunning ergonomic design not only looks amazing, it folds compact and is light to carry. Every chit chat™ feature has been crafted with relentless attention to detail to make a big difference.
Furthermore, Larktale has broken away from the convention of selling through regular retail channels. To offer Australian parents the greatest value for money, Larktale products are available directly via www.larktale.com. To provide peace-of-mind, a 60-day ‘change of mind’ guarantee is also offered (conditions apply).
Chit chat is suitable for children aged 6+ months and is available in 6 stylish colours including:

I have used this stroller everyday since I had the chance to review it. I don't think I can praise this stroller anymore than I already have. We went away for a couple days and took the stroller with us and it went off road on gravel and then on grass and back to the footpath with ease all whilst manoeuvring through crowds at a carnival. Everyone who sees this stroller is automatically drawn in by its design and love the blue colour I chose. I love it and will continue to use it as long as my toddler likes to sit in it.

I seriously just can't fault this stroller. We went out shopping and hubby was hogging the stroller, he loves it more than I do. This stroller is great, especially during busy days when there's alot of people everywhere at the shopping centres, so easy to manouver around people or ant obstacles. My hubby claims it to be 'his stroller' that's how much he likes to use it. Bub also loves sitting in it and doesn't get agitated like he used to in my other pram.
I can't fault this stroller in any way and I will keep using it for as long as I can.

Today we took our chit chat to a birthday party at a very busy play-centre. We received compliments from other parents on our funky new stroller which is something that has happened often and I have given the Larktale web site details to quite a few people who have shown interest.
I can honestly say that the chit chat is the best stroller I have ever used and my favourite feature by far is the design of the frame. It feels so strong and yet it is light enough to handle easily. The way it unfolds in one fluid motion is fantastic and when folded down it becomes very compact and easily fits in the boot of a car. The steering is a dream and it's also narrow enough to get into crowded areas and fit on public transport without any dramas.
The soft grip handlebar is easy to wipe clean and the footrest is a solid part of the main frame.
The basket underneath can be accessed from the front as well as the back and the net on the back of the stroller is handy for things you use frequently.
The 5 point harness is very secure but still comfortable and like the seat cover it can be removed for cleaning which is an important feature when you're dealing with messy toddlers! It is a stroller designed for children aged 6 months and over.
There is even a handy toy hook in the canopy, they've thought of everything!
I am more than happy to recommend the Larktale Chit Chat stroller because as well as having loads of really useful features it also happens to be very stylish.
It's intelligent design is both innovative and insightful and it is a product that is clearly designed to last in an age where so many products cater to a 'throw-away' society.

Today we conducted the dad test! It was great to get the opinion of another person who will be using the Lark Tale Chit Chat often. He reported that it was easy to steer, and felt sturdy enough. He liked the fact he could quickly get in and out of places with the stroller. Dad is over 6 ft, and didn’t feel that he had to slouch down to drive the stroller which was a big plus.
The best part of this trial was that it prompted him to make holiday suggestions as it is obvious that the stroller is lightweight and compact enough to take to any destination, via any means (plane, car, even boat). Yaaaay!

It was such a relief to have my new Larktale Chit Chat stroller to use when I got back from my walk only to realise that I was supposed to already be at the doctors (5 minutes down the road). After putting the kids into the car I was able to quickly fold the stroller down and put on the floor in the front- I didn't even have to worry about stowing it in the boot. I certainly could never have managed this with my old pram and in fact, used to have to allow an extra 5 minutes in travel time just so I would have enough time to get the pram out of the boot and put it up.
When I arrived at the doctor's unfolding the stroller was just as quick and simple and I was able to put my little one into it and clip him up with such ease, and so light and fast to push into the doctor's too.
The Larktale Chit Chat is also great because it keeps an infant/child in a nice position from which they can observe the world which came in handy in reassuring my little guy while I was up on the bed in the doctor's- he could see me easily and knew I wasn't far away.
When i was finished in the doctor's it was easy to apply the brake while putting my eldest child into the car- normally it always seemed like too much effort for the short time that it would take so I used to avoid it and try to 'park' my pram in such a way that it wouldn't roll, which I guess isn't the safest. With the Chit Chat there is no excuse to be lazy like that because the brake can be applied or released with a simple rocking motion that can all be controlled by the foot - even bare foot (as I discovered yesterday at the indoor play centre.
When I arrived at the indoor play centre yesterday, I was able to carry the stroller under one arm, my nappy bag over my shoulder and my little one in my other arm, and still manage to walk inside fairly easily. This saved a little bit of mucking around so that my eldest child could have a little longer to play, instead of having to wait for mummy to sort herself out.
I also found that the Chit Chat was great to be used for a high chair as well - it keep bubs in a nice position for feeding and meant that the food didn't end up all over me and we were mess free for a change!
In closing, the Chit Chat is perfect for busy mums/dads because it is so easy to set up and put down, fits anywhere in the car (which is perfect when you need the boot free for groceries, etc), has an easy to apply brake for when you are out and about, is so small it can be stowed anyway in the house (we are keeping ours in a nook behind our bedroom door, it has a handy cup holder allowing me to carry my water bottle and still have both hands free to have full control of the stroller, and it is light enough to be easily carried under arm when needed or lifted upstairs (with a child secured inside), when there is no ramp access (my husband managed to do this on his own without my assistance which was impossible with our old pram.
I love this stroller and it is quickly becoming indispensable in our lives.

So we had a family outing to the park on Sunday and of course we had to take the Chit Chat with us especially wanted to try it on the grass and just as expected was flawless! Even the kids wanted a go and that was a huge surprise because they struggle so much with the pram and they all loved it so we decided to make a video to show that anyone can use the Chit Chat! I don't think I could love this stroller any more but I can't express how easy it is and how light it is I just wish the Chit Chat was around 13 years ago when I had my first would of made life so much easier!

So today we took our chit chat stroller on a city trip and went to Queen Vic Markets. As always it was very busy but I found it quite easy to navigate the crowds thanks to the stroller's narrow frame and excellent maneuverability. I can comfortably steer one-handed when needed. I even took it up and down some stairs and as it is a relatively light frame I didn't experience any difficulties.
The stroller only takes up one seat space in trains and buses and at cafes which is very handy.
I really like the way the foot rest is a part of the main frame as opposed to a plastic strap as I found with all of my previous prams and strollers that my son would stand on it to get in and out and they always ended up snapping.
Although the chit chat only has a partial recline my 6MO daughter fell asleep in it a few times today and quite happily napped whilst we were walking around so she was obviously comfortable. I was quite relieved when this happened as it was something I was worried about due to the fact that she is used to a fully reclining seat.
The handle feels soft and quite comfortable to grip. I'm glad it isn't wrapped in foam like a lot of other strollers because in summer the foam handles can get grimy and sweaty and frankly a bit gross!
The only thing I find slightly annoying is the cup holder. I have knocked it a few times and it tends to swing quite freely but as I never use it with open bottles or cups this is not a big issue for me.
Overall I am really pleased with the chit chat and would happily recommend it to other people!

I received the larktale chit chat pram last week. My first impression of the pram was great! So compact when folded and very lightweight. I couldn't believe how such a small pram could be so great. I have tested it out only a couple times to the park and out shopping. Easy to manouver around especially with one hand. I cannot recommend it anymore. This is my first review out of 3. Will definitely post with more photos.

So happy with the Larktale Chit Chat stroller. We received it last week and I spoke about how impressed I was with all the features including the cup holder, amazing turning circle, and ease in opening and putting it back down as well as how light and compact it is. One extra thing I forgot to mention was that the straps on the bottom of the seat where you clip it up is not like other standard pram straps as it is wider and won't irritate or slip off to the side where my baby's nappy sits, unlike other prams I have used. I can imagine it is alot more comfier for my little boy. Absolutely love this pram. So very stylish and light and compact that it can even be placed in the trolley if I go shopping or if bub decides he now wants to sit in the trolley seat instead of in the pram while still having room for our weekly shopping. other prams would make shopping and pushing a trolley nearly impossible

Only received the Larktale Chit Chat stroller on Thursday and had to take it out for a spin, literally we took it straight out of the box and put her straight in it! I loved it from get go, how simple it was to cut a few zip ties and it was ready to go. I have a little girl but loved the Freshwater blue so much I had to see it in person its so vibrant and bright and definitely stands out in a crowd! The steering is a dream I can't believe how light and easy it is pushing and turning. Miss Tayla absolutely loved it and I didn't hear a peep from her the whole time she was in there. I really love how easy it is to fold down and open and how quick I get it in and out of the car but the space in the boot is amazing I can't believe it hardly takes up any room. The main reason I wanted to review this stroller and try it out was actually my husband, he always complains about our pram when he has to take it to pick the kids up and really didn't think everything he read about the Chit Chat he thought it was to good to be true. He actually enjoyed taking her out in it he said his favourite thing was how light it was and the brake, we both love this feature it's fantastic we've never seen anything like it before and we have 3 other children! Unfortunately it has been the worst weather all weekend and couldn't take bub out to take it for another spin but it didn't stop the kids giving her a push around the house and they found it so easy! So of course we had to take a few photos which will be going on instagram today, as soon as the weather clears up here will be able to review it even more so hopefully by the end of the week we will have another review to post but from what I have seen it can only get better!

As a mumma I have always found grocery shopping with a pram and trolley near impossible! Until I discovered that my chit chat stroller fit perfectly as a carriage to the smaller size trolley at my local supermarket. My toddlers feet still had space for active toddler movements and I found that by steering the trolley I had such control as the chit chat front wheels fit in perfectly to the trolley wheel base. I will definitely be using this train style shopping set up again!
As a side note I have always found my chit chat to be difficult to unfold as the switch to release seems to be stiff and difficult to use, which can be frustrating and detracts from the compact and easy to use product promise. Other than this difficulty I have really loved trying out the chit chat and love being able to use it regularly.

We have found using the Larktale Chit Chat that it is very practical and fun. My toddler particularly likes the delivery box which has adorned our lounge room after its renovation into cubby house :) (see the picture). I don't think that I will be able to get rid of it anytime soon!
I love how easy the stroller is to open up (when the button works first time- some times it sticks a bit) and easy to fold down. For a stroller it is very sturdy and doesn't tip over- even with a bag hanging on it which is awesome. I have found however that the wheels didn't take long before they were quite worn. This stroller is great for quick trips to the shops as the smooth floor surface is good, but as soon as you hit a rough surface it becomes a very bumpy ride for bub!
The Small storage basket below the stroller is quite hard to access and doesn't fit a great deal in it so we usually just hang the nappy bag on the back of the handle bar.
An ideal pram for small trips or stores but not ideal for being outdoors or going over rough terrain (even slightly rough)

Well I have to say the Chit Chat made our little family getaway a breeze. The Chit Chat was super easy to fold up at the airport and check it on its way. It arrived safe and sound and was a breeze to pop back up at the airport. It was also very easy to get on and off the trams in Melbourne. We love catching the trams everywhere they were so easy before we had our little man and just as easy now with our little man. And off course we looked the part in our very modern Chit Chat.
Max loved having naps on the go in the Chit Chat - the only thing I would love to have is a window in the top of the roof so I can see what Max is up to. A universal wind/rain cover fitted perfectly as well on the Chit Chat to keep out the Melbourne chill.
Overall the Chit Chat is a compact, stylish stroller that is easy to manoeuvre around Melbourne and is a breeze getting on and off trams.

This is really the luxury of all luxury prams. I am rather bummed that I did not get to review this pram unfortunately. However, one of my good friends has it, and I got to test drive it the other day. Wow, it really is great handling (possibly as I am used to my cumbersome 50 year old pram). It turns on a 50 cent piece, handles corners amazingly. It really is like the BMW of prams. I do think that it is a little overated. It might be easy to fold down, but takes some time to figure it out in the beginning.

We took our Larktale chit chat stroller out for a lovely stroll today before the rain hit in and the stormy weather started. It was a lovely experience. The more I use this stroller the more I enjoy it! It has been such an ease to use and gets compliements where ever we take it. I am so glad I chose the red one as it seems to suit my little girls personality. She loves her stroller and I'm sure you kids and yourselves will love this stroller as much as we have. I would however recommend also buying the rain cover for additional protection.

Today is the last day of June and our very last review for the Larktale Chit Chat Stroller!
I would definitely recommend purchasing a Larktale Chit Chat stroller! It had been such a joy and a blessing and has become part of our family. My daughter loves it, my husband loves it and I love it so it is a win, win all round. It's easy to move and recline and decline, it can fit into a small car boot and can be carried easily so whether you are looking for a travel stroller, a stroller for the grandparents or an everyday stroller look no further with all of its sleek and bold designs there is sure to be one that will suit your style! Be prepared to be impressed!

My sister in law came to visit last night and my daughter took her to see her lovely Larktale Chit Chat Stroller. I wanted to share her comments about it as well;
She said the stroller was an "awesome colour" and was surprised by how "easily it popped up and down". She also loved the fact that my little one actually likes being in it. She hated her previous stroller so we hardly ever used it. My little one made her push her around it for fifteen mins.
This is clearly an amazing stroller with no negative reviews so far!

I love the Larktale. It's so light and zippy, yet still feels strong and secure. Bub loves it too!
I've found the cup holder falls off pretty easily when folding/unfolding. Also, the frame scratches/scruffs really easily- potentially due to the type of plastic used.

My husband cannot stop raving about this stroller. It is easy, light, a "chick magnet" and something that he has found suits our needs. It does not take up the whole of our family car book, meaning we do not feel that we are overloaded. Our daughter also happily naps in the stroller. So we do not worry about her being flat to sleep (she is almost 7 months) I would definately recommend this product. Fantastic durability for the price point!

We have now been using the Larktale chit chat stroller for 3 weeks and I am still in love with it! My only concern was that I had not previously used a stroller for a bub under a year and so had no idea if my 6 month old would sleep in a stroller that did not have a full recline. Well I needn't have worried! The Larktale chit chat is obviously as comfortable as it is stylish and Little Miss 6 months old has had no worries sleeping in it! The lovely padded straps keep her upright and don't dig into her at all. The pram is so smooth that there are no bumps and rattles to wake her up. As it is so light, it is easy to manoeuvre up and over gutters and other obstacles smoothly without waking bub! Thank you Larktale for finally designing a pram that is stylish, comfortable, robust, light, compact and easy to use! This stroller really does tick all of the boxes!

Well what can I say Max is still loving the Chit Chat. He even fell asleep in it the other day so it must be comfortable! I still think it is great for shopping centre and path strolls but a bit of a rough ride if heading off a pathway.
Love the back of seat pocket - so much so I wish our other pram had one now! I do wish though that the material wasn't see through so my wallet wasn't always on show. Can't wait to put it through its paces on our upcoming Melbourne trip.

Today is the second last day for reviewing the Larktale Chit Chat stroller. This has been and is the best stroller I have ever used and owned. It's sleek style and bold colour it's such a pleasure to stroll it around. It had made my husband and I both bolt to get the stroller out first to see who pushes her proudly around. Before we both took turns as it was lug and heavy to push

When the Larktale Chit Chat stroller is folded it is so small it can fit in a tiny boot. Like my parents small Toyota Yaris' boot comfortably. Our previous pram would not fit! This is a great stroller for when you are out and about and on the go. Perfect for holidaying as well.

It is almost the end of the month and out reviewing period. The Larktale chit chat stroller has to be the easiest stroller I have ever used and the lightest. It is so convenient to take with us on the go and my little girl loves it. I can't believe we have had it nearly a month. It has become more than a stroller to us. It had become part of our family. Everyone that had seen it had been impressed with it and I have family and friends that are looking into purchasing their own!

My husband, myself and my little girl went out for coffee and morning tea which was much needed after the cold morning we had. The cafe was small and quite cramped however we were able to fit my daughter in next to us in her new stroller which would have been impossible before. She even ate her Cookie Monster cupcake in her stroller sitting up like a big girl by zipping up the two zippers. Lovely stroller.

We went display home viewing over the weekend and took our Larketale Chit Chat stroller. It was very simple to move in and out of the homes and where there were steps we simply lifted our little girl out and declined the pram and used the strap it came with to carry it like a 'man bag' as my husband called it up the stairs. It's so simple and easy to use and so light weight!

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
Even as a healthcare professional, when I took my soon to the ED when I was concerned, I felt awkward about speaking up, worried I was making a big deal out of nothing (even though i would never tjink this about a patient’s family if the roles were reversed). The message in this article is so important. Always stick to your guns. Always speak up and advocate for your kids – they can’t do it for themselves.
And honestly, some medical staff are idiots. I vividly remember the night two doctors huddled over my son’s lung x-rays. I hadn’t been allowed to accompany him to have them taken as I was pregnant. They finally told me solemnly that they were preparing to do emergency surgery as there was something in his lungs – “we don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely man made”. I took one look at the x-rays and asked if they’d taken off the battery packs for his cochlear implants, which were pinned to the back of his shirt, before the x-ray. And of course they hadn’t, and of course that’s what appeared to be in his lungs. Honestly!
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
In the Larktale chit chat™ stroller product review, we’ll be asking mums and their little ones to put the Larktale chit chat™ stroller through it’s paces. Mums will be asked to share their thoughts and post their reviews and ratings on this page.

I love this stroller!
I have used this stroller everyday since I had the chance to review it. I don't think I can praise this stroller anymore than I already have. We went away for a couple days and took the stroller with us and it went off road on gravel and then on grass and back to the footpath with ease all whilst manoeuvring through crowds at a carnival. Everyone who sees this stroller is automatically drawn in by its design and love the blue colour I chose. I love it and will continue to use it as long as my toddler likes to sit in it.

Larktale chit chat stroller is amazing!!
I seriously just can't fault this stroller. We went out shopping and hubby was hogging the stroller, he loves it more than I do. This stroller is great, especially during busy days when there's alot of people everywhere at the shopping centres, so easy to manouver around people or ant obstacles. My hubby claims it to be 'his stroller' that's how much he likes to use it. Bub also loves sitting in it and doesn't get agitated like he used to in my other pram.
I can't fault this stroller in any way and I will keep using it for as long as I can.

Larktale chit chat stroller reviews - week 3 of 3
I can honestly say that the chit chat is the best stroller I have ever used and my favourite feature by far is the design of the frame. It feels so strong and yet it is light enough to handle easily. The way it unfolds in one fluid motion is fantastic and when folded down it becomes very compact and easily fits in the boot of a car. The steering is a dream and it's also narrow enough to get into crowded areas and fit on public transport without any dramas.
The soft grip handlebar is easy to wipe clean and the footrest is a solid part of the main frame.
The basket underneath can be accessed from the front as well as the back and the net on the back of the stroller is handy for things you use frequently.
The 5 point harness is very secure but still comfortable and like the seat cover it can be removed for cleaning which is an important feature when you're dealing with messy toddlers! It is a stroller designed for children aged 6 months and over.
There is even a handy toy hook in the canopy, they've thought of everything!
I am more than happy to recommend the Larktale Chit Chat stroller because as well as having loads of really useful features it also happens to be very stylish.
It's intelligent design is both innovative and insightful and it is a product that is clearly designed to last in an age where so many products cater to a 'throw-away' society.

The all important dad test
The best part of this trial was that it prompted him to make holiday suggestions as it is obvious that the stroller is lightweight and compact enough to take to any destination, via any means (plane, car, even boat). Yaaaay!

Quick and easy when you're running late!
When I arrived at the doctor's unfolding the stroller was just as quick and simple and I was able to put my little one into it and clip him up with such ease, and so light and fast to push into the doctor's too.
The Larktale Chit Chat is also great because it keeps an infant/child in a nice position from which they can observe the world which came in handy in reassuring my little guy while I was up on the bed in the doctor's- he could see me easily and knew I wasn't far away.
When i was finished in the doctor's it was easy to apply the brake while putting my eldest child into the car- normally it always seemed like too much effort for the short time that it would take so I used to avoid it and try to 'park' my pram in such a way that it wouldn't roll, which I guess isn't the safest. With the Chit Chat there is no excuse to be lazy like that because the brake can be applied or released with a simple rocking motion that can all be controlled by the foot - even bare foot (as I discovered yesterday at the indoor play centre.
When I arrived at the indoor play centre yesterday, I was able to carry the stroller under one arm, my nappy bag over my shoulder and my little one in my other arm, and still manage to walk inside fairly easily. This saved a little bit of mucking around so that my eldest child could have a little longer to play, instead of having to wait for mummy to sort herself out.
I also found that the Chit Chat was great to be used for a high chair as well - it keep bubs in a nice position for feeding and meant that the food didn't end up all over me and we were mess free for a change!
In closing, the Chit Chat is perfect for busy mums/dads because it is so easy to set up and put down, fits anywhere in the car (which is perfect when you need the boot free for groceries, etc), has an easy to apply brake for when you are out and about, is so small it can be stowed anyway in the house (we are keeping ours in a nook behind our bedroom door, it has a handy cup holder allowing me to carry my water bottle and still have both hands free to have full control of the stroller, and it is light enough to be easily carried under arm when needed or lifted upstairs (with a child secured inside), when there is no ramp access (my husband managed to do this on his own without my assistance which was impossible with our old pram.
I love this stroller and it is quickly becoming indispensable in our lives.

Larktale chit chat stroller reviews - week 2 of 3
The stroller only takes up one seat space in trains and buses and at cafes which is very handy.
I really like the way the foot rest is a part of the main frame as opposed to a plastic strap as I found with all of my previous prams and strollers that my son would stand on it to get in and out and they always ended up snapping.
Although the chit chat only has a partial recline my 6MO daughter fell asleep in it a few times today and quite happily napped whilst we were walking around so she was obviously comfortable. I was quite relieved when this happened as it was something I was worried about due to the fact that she is used to a fully reclining seat.
The handle feels soft and quite comfortable to grip. I'm glad it isn't wrapped in foam like a lot of other strollers because in summer the foam handles can get grimy and sweaty and frankly a bit gross!
The only thing I find slightly annoying is the cup holder. I have knocked it a few times and it tends to swing quite freely but as I never use it with open bottles or cups this is not a big issue for me.
Overall I am really pleased with the chit chat and would happily recommend it to other people!

The chit chat ™ stroller by Larktale
8:59 am
Making shopping a breeze!
As a side note I have always found my chit chat to be difficult to unfold as the switch to release seems to be stiff and difficult to use, which can be frustrating and detracts from the compact and easy to use product promise. Other than this difficulty I have really loved trying out the chit chat and love being able to use it regularly.
8:31 am
Practical and fun
I love how easy the stroller is to open up (when the button works first time- some times it sticks a bit) and easy to fold down. For a stroller it is very sturdy and doesn't tip over- even with a bag hanging on it which is awesome. I have found however that the wheels didn't take long before they were quite worn. This stroller is great for quick trips to the shops as the smooth floor surface is good, but as soon as you hit a rough surface it becomes a very bumpy ride for bub!
The Small storage basket below the stroller is quite hard to access and doesn't fit a great deal in it so we usually just hang the nappy bag on the back of the handle bar.
An ideal pram for small trips or stores but not ideal for being outdoors or going over rough terrain (even slightly rough)

Chit Chat exploring Melbourne
Max loved having naps on the go in the Chit Chat - the only thing I would love to have is a window in the top of the roof so I can see what Max is up to. A universal wind/rain cover fitted perfectly as well on the Chit Chat to keep out the Melbourne chill.
Overall the Chit Chat is a compact, stylish stroller that is easy to manoeuvre around Melbourne and is a breeze getting on and off trams.

Last day of June and our Last review.
I would definitely recommend purchasing a Larktale Chit Chat stroller! It had been such a joy and a blessing and has become part of our family. My daughter loves it, my husband loves it and I love it so it is a win, win all round. It's easy to move and recline and decline, it can fit into a small car boot and can be carried easily so whether you are looking for a travel stroller, a stroller for the grandparents or an everyday stroller look no further with all of its sleek and bold designs there is sure to be one that will suit your style! Be prepared to be impressed!

Larktale Chit Chat Stroller
She said the stroller was an "awesome colour" and was surprised by how "easily it popped up and down". She also loved the fact that my little one actually likes being in it. She hated her previous stroller so we hardly ever used it. My little one made her push her around it for fifteen mins.
This is clearly an amazing stroller with no negative reviews so far!

Still loving the Larktale.
I've found the cup holder falls off pretty easily when folding/unfolding. Also, the frame scratches/scruffs really easily- potentially due to the type of plastic used.
