The Velcro still worked perfectly on the 3 bags I owned. I had pink bags. Because of the light color getting scuffed I no longer use it as a kids lunch bag, however we still use them in car trips where no one but us can see them. Function-wise they still work the same as the day I got them. Just as an FYI, the bags were removed from the freezer at 830am and filled. When the kids had lunch at 1230, the bags were still cold. At 4pm when they came off of the bus the bags were only slightly cold inside. The time allotted claims that it cools for longer, but in an airconditioned environment, in our case, it does not.

If you know someone handy with a needle, perhaps you could replace the part of the velcro that needs replacing. I do that with my other bags, too...

for the $20 it cost, I consider myself lucky that it lasted through the school year and get a new one.

We have only had ours 3 weeks, but i would try scrub cleaning the velcro to get stuff out of it that might clog the connection, and if that doesn't work, put new velcro or sew a snap on

I'm sorry Tracey your having this problem but you usually twist it one way to extend it and the oppisite to retract it. There's also a clear stopper in the midddle. Make sure to take the stopper out then try it. If thats not the problem then it might be broken. You might have to exchange it for a new one. I hope this helps.

The Velcro stays on the left side. Just pull it through the tab and back around. The inside of your food should be bare.

I have never had a problem. I just make sure they are tight with no play when wrapping the velcro around the posts. I bought mine in 2011 so can't say if there have been any design changes in the interim which may have led to a lower strength velcro.

I just unscrewed the handle fixtures so I could put that on. The velcro strap is extremely annoying and falls out when I take it off. If I could reverse the velcro side I think I could get it to stay in.

I had no problem with the velcro, it was actually pretty secure, but I only used it about 10 x daily. I think it would last from my experience.

There's one Velcro strip in each end of the cover near the bottom. Just secure those to tighten them and they hold the cover on snug.

Velcro..I had re-glue my Velcro back on with some better glue but after that they worked great

Thank you. I will try the Industrial Strength Velcro.. the temp tolerance upto 225F will solve the problem.

from my experience the adhesive is not that great so that the velcro is stronger than the adhesive and pulls one side away-especially when it is warm - So I resorted to glueing the velcro down to prevent this but it sort of takes away the advantage of having an adhesive already there

I have been wearing mine on and off for about two years, more frequently the past few months. The velcro on the middle strap is starting to not stick as well. I might try to figure out a way to rig it, but honestly for the price I might just order a new one. This split works well, better than others I have had.

It velcroes to close. To keep it open the piece rolls up and has a hook to keep it open.

I purchased velcro at a fabric store that has a sticky side and the velcro side. I put the sticky side on the boxspring. The other sticky half of the velcro I put on the "flap" of the box caddy. Then I pushed the 2 pieces of velcro together. It has held firm every since.

The velcro makes it easy to open and close. I always left the very bottom closed so it would stay attached and open the rest of it to easily get to my baby. Hope that helps!

the velcro is on the flaps...you adjust the amount of overlap of the flaps to a snug fit and press together to velcro closed

They sell replacement velcro strips on their website. 3 for $2.50. Go to the search function and type in velcro. It will be the last result. I'm having the same issue as you.

If you mean the velcro lets go mine does that sometimes too. I just go down each side pushing it into the velcro really good and it seems to work for me.
