  We discuss accretion and outflow properties of three very low-mass young
stellar objects based on broad-band mid-resolution X-Shooter/VLT spectra. Our
targets (FU TauA, 2M 1207-39, and Par-Lup3-4) have spectral types between M5
and M8, ages between 1 Myr and ~10 Myr, and are known to be accreting from
previous studies. The final objective of our project is the determination of
mass outflow to accretion rate for objects near or within the substellar regime
as a probe for the T Tauri phase of brown dwarfs and the investigation of
variability in the accretion and outflow processes.
