Road cart- Running Brook vs Country Carriage?

[Quelah]

From what I can tell by the pics on the respective websites, these look to be very similar, if not actually made by the same folks. For those who have seen both, any differences? Prefer one over the other? Thanks!

Do you have a link for the Running Brook carts? I couldn't find one.

Both Rick at Running Brook and Claudette at CC are reputable dealers and have been around a long time. They are also both easy to talk with so you might just want to call and ask.

The carts are both made in the Amish country - probably still in PA
but they probably are not made by the same maker
Many of the Amish build similar carts to each other

For both of these carts entry is from the rear, stepping around the seat into the basket. It looks like you have some option on whether you want a tightly spaced floor or more open slats.

I just ordered a Country Gig cart from Country Carriages. I wanted the spindle seat SO badly, but the cost of that option is really high. Maybe next time!

They sure do look similar!
