Buggies

/ˈbʌɡiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of buggy; light carriages or vehicles, typically pulled by horses, or shopping carts in stores.

Etymology

Origin uncertain, possibly from Hindi 'bagh' or from a proper name. The term became common in English during the colonial period in India for light two-wheeled vehicles.

Kelly Says

Golf carts and baby buggies share a word because both are lightweight, human-powered (or electrically-powered) vehicles that descended from those Indian carriages—the word just kept expanding to describe any small, nimble transport device.
