Buying tips
- Steel-frame carts with swivel seats generally outlast plastic scoots but weigh more to move empty — if you’re storing it in a shed up a step or ramp, factor that in.
- Check the weight capacity against your own weight plus whatever tools or produce you’ll be carrying in the basket at the same time, not just your body weight alone.
- A locking or braked wheel matters more than most buyers expect if you garden on any kind of slope — a free-rolling cart can drift while you’re seated and reaching.
