Seat count is the first decision most buyers make, and it is easy to get wrong. Here is how to pick.
Key takeaways
- A 4-passenger cart fits most families.
- Choose 6 seats for bigger families, rentals and group transport.
- Measure your garage before you buy, and never carry more riders than seats.
2-passenger
Best for golf, solo errands and tight garages. Smallest footprint and usually the lowest price.
4-passenger
The most popular size. Two forward seats plus a rear seat, often a flip seat that folds into a cargo deck. Great for small families and neighborhood driving. Forward-facing versions put all passengers facing ahead.
6-passenger
For larger families, rentals and properties where you move groups. Check your garage length and turning space before you buy.
Lifted or standard?
Lifted carts add ground clearance and larger tires for grass, gravel and trails. Standard height is easier to step into and better on paved paths.
Safety and legal notes
Never carry more people than there are seats. If you plan to drive on public roads, read our street-legal guide. Federal LSV rules require a seat belt at every seating position (49 CFR 571.500).
