how do you loosen the harness straps?

There is a button you have to push on that is located where the single black strap is coming out where the child's feet go. Reach your finger in there and push up, you should be able to feel the button and the straps should loosen! Hope this is helpful.

There's a small lever that's hard to find if you don't know where to look. My son had to show me. It's located in the middle of the car seat below the seat where the short black strap comes out, but it's under the fabric of the car seat.

Do you already have the seat? If so, please read the manual and all of your questions will be answered. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but too many people don't read the manuals and they contain life saving information about the correct use of car seats. The manual will tell you how to adjust the harness :)

There is a a lach right at the front and you just pull up. Super easy. Main reason I am loveing this seat!

Press up on the front "tab" where the strap is coming out. As you're doing that, pull the harness near the top. Be sure to read the whole manual before installing the seat in your car

Towards the bottom of the seat in between the child's ankles, under the seat cover, there is a small lever. You pull up on the lever and you can loosen the straps.

I have a pool noodle under mine in order to provide more recline. Maybe if you do this, it will free up a little space for the harness tightening strap.

There is a loop that goes into the strap opening. Open the loop so it looks like an O. Slip the bottom into the opening for the strap.Now grab the sides of the loop and push in until the opposite side of the O slips in. Shake the strap a little and it should not be in fully

you can unclip the harness as you can adjust them to different hights but I don't think you can completely remove them. Although I haven't tried. I used this when my son was 2 months old though and he was fine :) I just layered the bottom with blankets

get some tie down straps from your local auto parts store or Lowes or Tractor Supply Company. They will have a hook at each end and an adjusting buckle to tighten it down.

There is a strap by their feet (you can't see it in photo above) and a button that you hold dsown. While holding the button you pull the strap to tighten the shoulder straps or pull the shoulder straps to loosen to them. It's easy.

Feed the little elastic straps on the seat cover through the eye hole of the hook, then pull the hook through the center of the elastic strap and tighten. Then hook it onto something sturdy to keep the seat covers from moving around

With the convertible seat, I didn't find it necessary to loosen the straps every time I took the baby out. Try getting the babe out without loosening it and see of you really need to loosen them every time which will make it easier in the long run.

Position the harness straps around the child and fasten the harness buckle and chest clip. Proper connection of the harness buckle is confirmed with a positive click after inserting each buckle tongue. Gently pull up on the harness straps to tighten the lap section of the harness, which should fit low on the child

I had the same problem until I figured out you have to make sure both soft straps are around the legs as well as the thin straps are on each side and then tighten it securely. I have 3 dogs and each one has one. Won't go for a walk without them.

I do not have this problem, but it may be helpful to consult customer service. The button in the front of the car seat helps to adjust the straps, if you haven't tried that already. Good luck!

Remove the bungees immediately! Then get 2 bungee cords and cross them thru the handle on top of the rack. To remove, just unhook the bungees. Easy on, easy off.

If you need to adjust where they sit on the shoulders you use the lever above the head and push down on it to move up or down. To adjust the tightness you pull the strap between the legs to make it tighter or there's a slit between the legs you put your finger in there and pull up on the metal clamp and pull straps to make them looser.

Oh yeah! There's a release lever to unstrap. It comes with 2 straps and releasing doesn't damage the locking mechanism. The straps are quite long. You may want to trim them a bit.

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

The shoulder straps are held on by a single screw. I wasn't able to remove the central seat strap with pliers but a friend quickly removed it with a pocket knife.

Use something thin to slide between the back strap and grip. Slide down to the bottom of the grip and pop it over the roll pin to slide the grip off.
