Right, I've had that problem too. I think it has something to do with the smaller straps that hold those gray chest pads (forget what Britax calls them - HUGS pads?). I just pull the strap release (accessed through a slit in the seat cover near where the lower strap comes out between the child's legs), grasp the black clip that holds the 2 shoulder straps together across the child's chest, and pull that clip upwards until it moves no further. That's usually enough slack in our case to get our kid out easily. It does seem to run up against those little HUGS pad straps though.

There is a button at center where the child's legs would be and you can reach thru and feel a ledge and a latch you can release the shoulder straps. Then the black strap coming from the center once again you will pull to tighten the straps once you get your child in.

in the front were the single strap comes out, remove the cover over the seat. you will see a tension button. push it down and pull on the two straps at the top

I recommend you go to the Manufacturer website if you no longer have the instruction manual to reference, and download a new one.

I had to tighten the straps really tight to keep it from sliding. Unfortunately, there is not much else you can do. It is a common problem with knee braces. good luck.

The strap is adjustable and can be shortened, but only by about half. I think you will still have a bit of 'dangle' going on.

There is a lever that allows you to make the strap as long or short as you need. You can roll up the slack with an elastic. It works great. When I use mine for biking I keep the strap short so the bag sits higher, when I walk with it I loosen it.

Place the back wrap on your back where you need it, then take long strap in front, put it through the eyelet pull strap to the right and fasten on velcro, then pump it up where it's not too tight but comfortable. Hope this helps.

It shouldn't be too high if you loosen the shoulder straps to their full extent

You can adjust the shoulder straps and that moves the back strap. I gave read reviews where people had difficulty reaching the back strap, but so far I haven't had a problem. It's a little awkward but I love this ergo and make it work

I have a long torso and had that problem with this one. But I have bought others that do the same. I ended up with one that has shoulder straps.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

That can probably be fixed by tightening the straps on the child. You should not be able to pinch the slack in the straps near the shoulder. Also, make sure the chest clip is at or about the arm pit level.

Sorry, I can't help you there. Originally I thought I was supposed to use it around the back straps. But they're crossed anyway. Then I thought maybe if there was some way of keeping the straps crossed lower down, the pouch would stay up higher on the front. And the little velcro strap might do that. But it doesn't stay where I want it to be. So I never figured it out.

Just twist it one way to loosen and the other to tighten. Maybe there is something wrong with it. Check with the manufacturer. Sorry I could not be more helpful

Mine is quite tight too. I don't know of any way to loosen other than by using it over and over.

i think the problem is that its very difficult to get longer the strap but you can make it more longer

I would try sewing it. One of the shoulder straps broke and I sewed it. Now its good but when I can I avoid picking it up with the straps!

I found the should caps would not stay in place and after wearing a size smaller the piece in the back hurt my back from being too tight. Returned the item for a different brand that had bra like hook closure in the back and had circle style straps that went over the shoulder instead. Good Luck!

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.
