Rail upgrades for Black Widow (Ergo)


So the new and happening thing these days are what I like to call Ergonomics. Don't everyone wants a more comfortable buggy that wraps around you?? The Apexx of course is accredited to be the first buggy to do it but not the last. It is a nice feature to have so everyone is adding that to their buggy.

I figure since everyone else is doing it , why not me?? I came up with my version. The front has a wide radius curve to allow plenty of room for your legs to move around. The rails goes horizontal to give your arm a place to rest before it makes the second curve to support the seat back. The rails also curves inward toward the center and then widens back out.

I took it out for a test last week and the buggy feels totally different. It's more of a lounge chair now with the arm rest.

I always forget my splashguard when I head to the beach :lol:

That's the exact same buggy you demo and the same seat !! haha ... I replaced the rails, rip out the sides of the seats, made new sides to match rails and then added new dirt to it. The seat is nice and clean right now. The fabric is water tight so a nice spray with the garden hose and then hang dry.
