The pictures shows the backpack straps as being sewn on. Is this the 2nd generation version with detachable backpack straps or is the 1st version?

Not sure which generation, but the one I purchased last year does not have them sewn on. Could be the picture.

The bag I ordered had detachable straps. I ended up returning this bag and getting the be right back backpack. I love it.

Mine has detachable straps and mine is two years old, so I'm assuming all after that are detachable.

The one I received has detachable backpack straps. I have been using this bag constantly for 8 months and I love it!

Both the first and second generation BFFs have detachable backpack straps as well as messanger strap.

I believe this is the 2nd generation. I bought my bag in early 2009 & the straps are detachable. I actually never used the backpack straps, which was the main reason why I bought this bag. I used the top handle & carried the bag as a satchel. Mostly, I hung the bag from my stroller handles; if I had to carry my son & the bag at the same time, I used the shoulder strap.

The backpack straps aren't sewn on - they are detachable on mine. I bought this bag in February of 2012.

The straps are detachable. The loops that you hook the straps onto are attached. This bag is fantastic.

It has 2 adjustable straps . Kinda like a backpack you wear the wrong way :) wore this when hiking with my little yorkie. He loved it, but we ended up rigging a back strap (tied them together in back) to give me some extra support.

I have them both and they are both very sturdy however, the detachable pouches are a pain in the butt when they are full of loaded mags. They tend to seperate from the case and flop around when being carried to the field or range. I much prefer the cases being sown on. If you don't plan on removing the pouches I would go with the sown on. I will next time if I need another case. Hope this helps.

Yes both packs have 2 backpack style straps. The orange one should have one diagonal strap to be exactly like the one Diego wears. My daughter didn't notice that and loves both of these. I recommend them. My daughter is 3.

Nope. The new Osprey AB, which is a fabulous pack, does have a detachable lid, but it still doesn't make a daypack. Too bad--wish it did.

I see no difference right off the bat b/w the two models, and I don't find the Smart Back Pack lists very much in way of details. They look the same to me. We love our red one. I do find if I carry my 25 lb 1 yr old too long, my lower back does bother me some, but that may be me not adjusting the straps properly. Sorry I cannot point out any differences. I'd check with Chicco.

No it is not as pictured; there are no seperate straps coming down. They are just two large adjustable "loops". It probably would have been better if there were the straps.

Mine has been fine other than the headphone port fell off but is pretty easily sewn back on. No issues with straps or zippers.

Sorry just a quick update for your question, this is actually an item i didnt purchase, i did purchase the diano brand like this version they look very much alike so i wouldnt actually know for sure because of brand wise BUT i see that the velcro straps are very alike in the same place so hopefully it will be the same outcome and sorry for the confusion.

This is not the strap they show in the picture. That is the older model. The current strap they sell is the soft strap. It's like the older Garmin strap where it is the same material for the entire strap. This strap is better than the previous, my running partner has the older model, as it does NOT drop out during runs like the Garmin straps do. I just finished an Ironman event and wore this strap the entire time, even during the swim. Over the 13 hour event (for me), it did not drop out once and maintained steady readings the entire time. If you have had problems with previous straps, this is the one to get. Good Luck and hope this helped. This is not the strap they show in the picture. That is the older model.

This looks like a completely different carrier than the one I purchased. Mine did indeed come with two to function as a backpack.

Yes it is detachable but the buckles, will appear on each side of the carrying bag after it is detached, which will make it unattractive.

I don't know about the 16" model... I have the 10.1" model and it has a detachable strap.. no reason to think the 16" doesn't have it also... the clue is the carry handles on the top.. Mine has the same... Very happy with the one that I bought...

Honesty, I don't know. I cut off the waist strap because it seemed silly and was in the way. I have had the backpack for over a year and have gotten good use out of it. So far, so good.

Yes, this is exactly what I have, as the pic shows. Padded shoulder straps are on the one I have.

Technically the are removable; however, I think they are made to only adjust. I don't believe they were made to remove them because the harness straps sewn into the back portion would just flap around and there wouldn't be any way to secure it. In other words the packs are a continuation of the straps that keep entire back pack together. Hope this answers your question.

It's interchangeable. The velcro attachments on front and back of the shoulder straps let you use it on either one.
