Look at this! Very exciting news here at Tug Towers. We have just found out that the Bizzie Baby reviewers have given TugTrio a Bronze Award. You can read the full review here what makes me most happy about this is the length of the straps was commented upon as being too short and I’ve just had slightly longer straps pass the strict safety tests so these are good to go.

What’s good to do?

These buggy straps from TugTrio are a great idea. They are supplied in a packet of 3 in different colours:

Black – BuggyTug: this one connects your wrist to your buggy

Purple – TeddyTug: this one connects your child’s favourite toy or teddy to the buggy so they don’t lose it

Red – ToddleTug: provides a handle connected to your buggy for your walking toddler to hold on to

They are very soft and comfortable to wear and there is no rubbing or chaffing. The straps are very easy to fit, just put over the buggy handle and loop through the metal ring and you’re ready to go.

The buggy straps are a great idea with a great price to match at only RRP £9.99 for a pack of 3.

Another TugTrio review

Di — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:01:46 +0000

The TugTrio! I love it, it’s a simple yet fantastic idea and i am so pleased with the fact i didn’t need to purchase a pram that already has a safety strap on. I have a bugaboo pram and sadly my strap broke off from using it with my first child. The BuggyTug part of the TugTrio fits perfectly onto my pram and is perfect for taking my pram on the school run as there are plenty of hills here where i live and if you’re like me; always wearing heels, it can be a bit worrying if you happen to fall over whilst pushing a pram, in stilts! I have been known to stumble a handful of times I also like the fact that the product comes with another handle that you can attach to the side of the pram/buggy for your toddler to hold onto also. My son holds onto this without a problem. I have a newborn in the pram and a 2 year old who likes to walk everywhere so this is perfect for a growing family with young babies and children. Not only does it come with the BuggyTug and the ToddleTug but it also comes with a third tug called TeddyTug, this attaches to your child’s favourite cuddly toy so they’ll will never lose their favourite sleeping comforter! I absolutely love this product, i think every family needs a TugTrio in their lives All in all a MASSIVE THUMBS UP FROM ME AND MY FAMILY!!

We were sent the BuggyTug to test and review by the lovely Di from the BuggyTug facebook page
It was sent out pretty fast(shame the same couldn’t be said for the postie)

“Made by a mum to make your life easier and your child safer”
The BuggyTug is designed to connect you to your buggy and as such result in your baby being safer as you have total control all the time.

My thoughts:

The first thing i noticed was how there was hardly any packaging involved just enough to safely send and protect the product,this for me was brilliant as i not only hate fiddly,masses of plastic ect i also like to know im doing my bit for the enviroment so this alone gets the big thumbs up from me.
i loved how it felt strong and stretchy.When attaching it was a piece of cake simply wrap it around the buggy handle and put one end through via the metal hoop and you are ready to go.Upon putting on i was really suprised by how comfortable i found it no rubbing whatsoever.
The only prob i did have was when my 4 year old decided to have a meltdown or run into the road as i had to remove from hand before i could grab him,however a mummy friend has suggested using it for him to hold when hes with me and on my wrist when hes not which is what im going to do from monday .
All in all i really like the BuggyTug it really is a good idea and a very useful product and for the price you cant go wrong!

Feedback from the Baby Show February 2012

Di — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 13:19:38 +0000

I’ve just come back from the Baby Show at ExCeL where I shared a stand with other lovely Mums who have invented buggy accessories, BundleBean, HamsterBags and SnoozeShade. It was loads of fun but pregnant women don’t always understand the need for BuggyTug – I often hear “I think I can hold on to my pram thanks” and then they come back to me when their baby has been born and they say they now know what I mean!

As you probably know I invented TeddyTug and ToddleTug as mums were using their BuggyTugs on teddies and toddlers love to hold on to the straps and they now have their own handle. Some parents at the show said that they are using the ToddleTug to encourage bonding between an older child and a new baby “Will you take the baby out for a walk with me?” which made my day!

Also, someone bought a BuggyTug to attach the buggy (without baby in) to a pole on a bus to stop the pram rolling away. Had never thought of this as a use before but thought I’d share! I’m always interested in how people use their Tugs so keep in touch.

This week on our travels we have been trialling a great little product called the Buggy Tug. This is a wrist strap which you attach to the handles of your buggy and then slip over your wrist like a bracelet, tighten it so that it won’t come off and then if you are in a position where the buggy handles accidentally come away from your grasp, you still have a hold of the buggy and its important cargo. I’m not sure how many people know this but in Australia it is mandatory for people to have a strap on their buggies which they must wear round their wrists when pushing. In this country, for some reason it is not and most buggy manufacturers do not include one as standard. We’ve all seen the video of that amazingly lucky lady whose buggy came out of her grasp on a train station platform and the buggy rolled as it was on a slight slope, onto the track and right into the path of an incoming train. It’s horrific viewing but thankfully the baby in the buggy in question managed to come away with just cuts and bruises in what can only be described as a miracle. Unfortunately there are other stories of buggies rolling away with much worse results and I can’t even bear to think about it. Now, my buggy is made by Bugaboo and actually does come with its own wrist strap and I do use mine, especially when travelling on the tube or like the other day when I was just walking on an incredibly windy day. The buggy did come out of my grip and even though I wasn’t anywhere where there would have been bad consequences I’m glad I had my wrist strap on to prevent the buggy from getting away from me entirely. So I am used to wearing a wrist strap and the one which comes with my buggy as standard is very good. We tried the Buggy Tug in comparison and it’s equally as good I have to say. If your buggy doesn’t come with one as standard then I’d say also that it’s an essential part of the kit you need with a baby! Can you ever be too careful? Well I don’t think so and this product not only gives peace of mind but might actually prevent an accident. It’s designed for all single handle bar prams and buggies and is very easy to use. Simply hang the strap over the pram, put the loop through the metal ring and then your hand goes through the loop letting you then hold on the handle normally.

New launch TugTrio!
