tow behind seating

islandguy · 01-17-2013, 12:49 PM

Just wondering if anybody has ever built a tow behind seating setup for there cart. I have seen them for atvs. ATVCoach_ThumbDetail3.gif

i have seen them but it looks dangerous unless your restricting your speed to 5 mph the cart is not designed to do it as in brakes and stability , i have seen it done multiple times in many different ways none of which seem kosher to me , theirs a reason people are not permitted to ride in trailers.

I knew the safety part of it would pop up. I have two kids of my own and the last thing I want to do is put them in harms way. I tow the little trailer around with them in it all the time. Slowly of course. The reason I was wondering is because I cruise around the beach alot and was wanting something with a little more clearance and maybe a atv style tire in stead of the trailer tire wich just digs in more.

I've seen a couple of them made from old carts..Most 3 wheelers cut an put hitch on front to haul people..

the real problem is that the high center of gravity of the passengers on off road cart

The one at camp put seat belts and grab bars on it..painted the same as the cart he pulls it with..looks pretty safe to me..

grab bars and belts are a must.Good idea. Could double as a ''bevarage'' hauler.

I have always toyed with building one to match my cart: lowered on air, same tires and wheels and a cooler under the seat. I have just never pulled the trigger.

I built a hitch for a guy that had built one out of an extra cart:

Here's one for for sale local to me on CL. Not pushing his product, he's a local RV dealer and dabbles in carts. Price seems way to steep but this might give you an idea as it seems home made.
