I did a Google search for "buggy linguistics" and encountered a great set of dialect maps. "Buggy" is definitely a Southern term. You find that "shopping cart", "grocery cart" and "buggy" are all used in much of the Carolinas. That helps explain why some people are familiar with "buggy" while others of us call them carts (and I confess to actually calling them grocery carts, but only in grocery stores).
