The Tub Cart was the safest and easiest of all the horse-drawn carts to drive, which is how it became safe enough for the Governess or Nanny to take the families children out in.

A small pony or donkey was suitable for pulling this cart. The only problem was the driver position which was sitting longitudinal to the direction of travel, so you were side on to the horse/pony.

To overcome this, a section in the centre of the right hand seat was removed to allow the driver a slight twist, to face the front.
