Choosing the right buggy

Matching the buggy to your event and ground.

Choosing a buggy is mostly a question about your site rather than about the vehicle. The number of seats matters less than the distance between the points people need to reach, how many of them must move at the same moment, and what the ground is like between the two.

Get those three right and the specification follows almost mechanically: a passenger buggy for guests, a utility buggy with a load bed for kit, a ramp-access buggy where someone travels in their own wheelchair. Get them wrong and the most expensive vehicle on the site still does not solve the problem. The guides here work through the decision in that order.
