Look at the flat pan
Also look at the Acme Barrien buggy; I don't do face book but they do.
There used to be some others but I am not sure they are still around.

Re: Tube or square
If I had a Manx, it would have to get the full tube frame//cage treatment.
The std glass-only Manx is a drive-over for anything larger than a bicycle in a side impact.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Unless you spring for rubber baby buggy side bumpers!
I agree Pile, the cage and side bars are necessary to keep unwanted vehicles out of the buggy and the square tube pan to keep flexing to a minimum and rocking yourself to sleep is another necessity.

Re: Tube or square
I was at Acme berrien buggy a few months ago and they were building a type 1 tube pan. they are originally for buggies but they were making it fit a type 1. looked pretty neat. their fab shop is impressive!
