Wouldn't the quick release buckles release in an accident if a lot of force was put on them, defeating the purpose?

It clicks in just like a seat belt so you have to push the seat belt release button for it to release it. So no it is not. I use it almost daily and have slammed on my brakes and they didn't go anywhere, it is very secure.

Your dog is as safe as you are in your seatbelt.I feel my dog is safe when buckled in it.

This particular style is not lockable. Only the models with buckles and straps can be locked. I recommend the quick release for these so you can take them off for security.

If they tried hard enough anything could be defeated, but the screws are the kind that can't be easily taken out. I hope this helps.

Technically, yes, but once they "clicK" into place they will be pretty difficult to pull back out. But it's definitely possible.

No, this is not a quick release. To remove the seat, one will have to un-screw the plastic screws.

I was lucky the buckle on mine failed when it WASN'T securing my kayak to my vehicle. At a minimum, I'd have lost the boat, and at worst, killed someone on the road. The buckles are only designed to last slightly longer than Amazon's 30 day return window. I got a couple months out of mine, but needless to say, won't be buying more. If you shop around, you can find much higher-quality units for less, amazingly. I should have done so the first time.

In a way it does because you set the tension when you put this on the belt. Tension is what causes safety though.

Its velcro so it sticks to itself, a buckle would not function at all if it were on this product. So to better explain this the way you use this stuff is wrap it around the object and wrap the velcro back onto itself and it will never become unwrapped

No, they are not quick release. You can unhook them fairly easy but no, not what I would call a quick release.

there is not a quick release. you must use a tool to unfasten the bolt. Not hard but does require some work rather than just the click of a lever or button. Still, this makes you know it isn't going anywhere when riding. Very secure.

YES. it will also cause an accident faster if it does not fall out because you wont be looking at the road.

That might work, but you would have an uneven distribution of torque. The problem isn't that it rises too fast, but more that it is more difficult to close once open. Ours were a lot more worn out than we thought, so putting the new ones on was a real eye opener as to just how bad they were. Our van doesn't have any power to the tailgate, so it is manual for opening and closing.

You probably could, I'm not an engineer, but I'd be careful, if you're like me, you probably need to lose the 10 lbs. and I'm not trying to be nasty, I'm overweight so I know how that feels. As I said, 10 lbs probably wouldn't cause it to buckle but I definitely would have someone spotting me if I climbed it.

They could fall out if you do not use the straps to hold them in. It is also very important to use your seatbelt to buckle in this unit to the seat of your car.

I guess it would be possible to over tighten the swivel points to prevent movement, but a well placed zip-tie will secure most anything too.

No, it can't. In the vast majority of uses, that would be a strong safety hazard.

I haven't put that load on it directly, but in the five years I have been wearing one, I have loaded it with various loads with just the quick release option and it hasn't moved. I saw video of someone lifting an auto engine with one of the belts, so the weight won't break the belt. I would say that your hips will give out before the belt does. I have several of the belts and they have all held up to heavy loads and moving up and down the mountains of Afghanistan. Hope that helps.
