how do you adjust the straps? can they come completely undone?

Yes. Its a hook and loop type closure in the front. Straps thread through a sort of button hole on the top of the cup. It does stay put when you are active. I use them for boxing class and running. They never come undone.

The straps have velcro. They can come completely undone in the front, but are still connected in back. I haven't had any problems with them coming undone when I didn't want them to.

They have velcro on the straps and the strap goes over your shoulder to the front, through a opening and folds back onto itself. It will make sense when you see it. Very easy to adjust and stays put. I have been wearing these for years, they are really excellent bras.

They can be completely undone. They are velcro on the front, so you can adjust while on you. I've never noticed the velcro before, until I was asked to answer this question. I've never adjusted them, nor have I needed to. That's when I realized that all traditional strap adjustments need continual adjusting after washing. This never has. Also, I never dry my sports bras- I always hang them to dry. I hope this answers your question! I love this bra!!! Seriously- this and the Maia (I think that's what it's called) are my faves.

Hi Kerry! Adjust the straps using the velcro...and yes, they can be completely undone.

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 does not look like straps only are available, but their web site does have an E-mail contact us page. I do have to ask, how on earth do the straps tear off? I've had only 2 pairs in 30 years and still have the original straps in good condition. Not much pressure is needed to hold the body in place, try wearing shoes if you are concerned about slipping out. I hope that helps - Randy PS ratchet straps is what I commented on, not the knee bend loops.

The straps themselves are fixed, however the straps are looped into a clip that lets you adjust the length of the loop.

Hi Dave, We initially had the same problem... those poor little feet. However, if you look at page 10 of the Owner's Manual the instructions (and diagrams) state "Pull on small loop until the sewn end of the loop passes through the adjustment buckle. Continue to pull out the small loop until the strap is the proper length". We fiddled around with this for a while until we figured out how it worked. I was a bit confusing to say the least! Our 5 month old absolutely loves this toy now. Hope this helps. Lynn

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?

There are two straps, each one about 3 or 4 inches away from the end. They are really long adjustment cords and stayed tight during all my trips.

Sorry to be so late to the discussion, but I own this carseat and I just want to be clear what you mean to by "adjust".If you are referring to pulling the straps tighter once the child is placed in the seat, then yes, the adjustment is made from the front of the seat. There is a strap located inbetween your child's thighs that you pull to tighten the straps, to loosen there is a little metal button hidden there that you push to release.If you are referring to raising the straps to a higher position for when the child is taller, than you must re-thread the straps through the back into the higher slots manually.I hope this makes sense!

I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I had been wondering the same thing. I had the WHOLE thing torn apart after messy episode in the car, and I couldn't remove the straps.

I can't answer on how to repair the Velcro, but for others who use this device, I never undo the Velcro...just force my hand into the opening. If I did have the problem, I would sew the straps down permanently, and just live with it that way.

You need to losen the straps. You tube the video on how to do it. That's what I did. You need to raise it from the back I had the same issue till I watched the video.

The straps are very easy to tighten if the seat is not installed. However, after you fasten the seat in the vehicle and the mechanism that snaps down to clamp to the vehicle's seatbelt is in place, then the straps are a little difficult to move. It is easy to make a small adjustment, but for a large adjustment in the strap length it is more difficult. So all that you need to do if you need to make a large adjustment in the strap length is to release the mechanism that clamps to the vehicle seatbelt and then make your adjustment and then put it back and put your child back in the seat to make the final adjustment. This may take 1 or 2 tries when you first install the seat but it is not a big deal. And this seat is so easy to install with the new mechanism that clamps down on the seatbelt that overall it will still save you time and effort to install over a conventional seat, even if you have to unclamp it from the vehicle seatbelt once or twice to make a strap length adjustment.

I've found if I tighten from the back and then pull the strap no problem but it is impossible to tighten from the strap itself

The straps themselves are not adjustable. When attached to the door you can adjust what length/height you want by the different knots along the strap when the door is closed, so in a sense the door is the only way to adjust the strap.

Nope, just velcro and the strap. Strap can be adjusted but I assure you, your equipment is secured. You can adjust straps accordingly.

no, you just thread them thru the loop and tighten. You could leave them attached, but it's so easy to take them on and off, that your better off just removing them. It will keep things from rattling around up there as well as protect them from so much sun and wind. These straps are the coolest I have ever used. you'll really like them.

The strap is adjustable, and actually can be separated and re-clipped together for smaller dogs. If you look at the photo, you'll see buckles on both sides of the strap. Undo both sets of buckles, then just buckle the two ends back together.
