I've always called it a buggy! Or a pousse-pousse, even in english, lol.
Baby carriages are called buggys for me too. A baby buggy... I most likely got that from my grandmother, she was born here but her parents were off-the-boat scottish folks, I remember they had heavy accents 60+ years after getting to Canada. I was very young when they died, but I remember them. My grandmother used lots of words that we don't necessarily use here. Potatos were spuds, she didn't go pee she went to piddle, little things like that.
