Chaise
"Hinter den drei jungen Leuten folgten die alten Harrers in ihrer Chaise."
It is some kind of carriage - if anybody knows of any closer translation, that would be helpful.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
chaise
A chaise, sometimes called chay or shay, was a formerly popular, light two- or four-wheeled traveling or pleasure carriage, usually of a chair-backed type, with a movable hood or calash top. The name came from the French for chair, through a transference from a sedan-chair to a wheeled vehicle. The two-wheeled version, for one or two persons, also called a gig or one-horse shay, had a body hung on leather straps or thorough-braces and was usually drawn by one horse; a light chaise having two seats was a double chair . The four-wheeled pleasure carriage type was similar. The term chaise was also used for any light carriage or pleasure cart.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaise
Eine Chaise (gesprochen: "schääs") oder auch Marktchaise bezeichnet vor allem im badischen Raum einen robusten zweiachsigen Handwagen, mit dem früher Waren auf den Markt gefahren wurden. Das Wort Chaise stammt aus dem Französischen und bedeutet eigentlich „Stuhl“. Es hat durch die Nähe des Elsass den Sprung über den Rhein geschafft, im badischen Dialekt aber einen Bedeutungswandel erfahren.
Andere Bedeutungen
Eine Chaise ist auch eine zweisitzige Kutsche, die von Pferden gezogen wird, z.B. die Berliner Chaise

Handcart
Vielleicht gilt das ja auch für das Bauyrische, und "handcart" ist eine geeignete Übersetzung

: die Leute sitzen anscheinend IN der Chaise, also wäre Handwagen unangebracht.
