One bathroom scale should be enough. Put a box or a crate on top and sit the front axle on it, so that the wheels are just off the ground. Note the weight and repeat for the rear axle. Add the two weights together. Do it on firm and level ground, not on grass. Oh, and remember to subtract the weight of the box. Should be good for carriages up to about 250 kg, depending on your bathroom scales.

Get four domestic bathroom weighing scales and put one under each wheel. Add the weights together.
