(urth) Kiki

[David Stockhoff]

And there's also the eery significance of carts in /*Le Morte d'Arthur*/ and elsewhere: The condemned were carried in carts to the gallows, but goddesses were also carried in carts in procession long before that. 

So a witch's or fairy's riding "twice in a cart" could mean something very precise, but I couldn't guess what.

The name "Kiki" might be an homage to "Kiki's Delivery Service," a 
Japanese anime by Miyazaki. That would indicate that Kiki is a witch. 
She demonstrates supernatural insight when she tells Bax and Doris that 
there is a third person in the car, "settin' in the dark." This must be 
Nicholas in the trunk.

"Twice in a cart's all I ever rode," suggests she is not of the modern 
world. She must be of Faerie.
