Any suggestions on getting the adj buckle to stay put, it slides to the end making it too loose? She is 6 mo, still growing, so don't want to cut it.

I had the same problem, I get it to where I needed it and wrapped black electrical tape tightly around it twice to keep it in place. It's a little hacky to have to do it like that, but it is a pretty inexpensive collar so we shouldn't expect the world. And if you do it neatly it blends in with the black of the buckle and it isn't even noticeable to anyone else. Also you can expect to get about 5 solid months out of the battery. I'm going on 6 months and its about half the original brightness. Not bad really.

I've had to adjust my harness several times. My dog was able to pull one of his front legs through the front of the harness until I figured out how to adjust it. I have it tighter on front with a little more give around the chest. My dog is still growing and I've noticed the chest strap getting snug so I'm going to adjust again. Play with the tightness of the straps and see if that helps. Hopefully the harness will work for you... I've just kept adjusting til I found what works!!!

Hi J: With my 150lb Great Dane I had to discard the 2nd buckle and secure the device with a zip tie... which was inserted through two (4 total) incisions at the fold over. The collar is great! Very blinky. And you can spot it from blocks (or meters) away. I bought 2 more because I'm a special needs adult who lives in proximity to a battery store where they lock the doors after hours. In no way am I actually 'special needs' apart from being unmotivated to change the battery.I ordered this collar again and will continue doing this until I successfully make a transaction at the battery store.

Yes, I had the same problem with the little dog. Eventually just put a piece of Velcro to keep in place.

Glue Velcro to the ends or any segment of the strap and viola no buckles. Just make sure it's decent quality velcro.

No I've never had a problem with the buckle. Had mine for about 3+ years and this year purchased a 2nd one and still no issues. I would contact Diono customer service.

Yes. It is difficult if you loosen and tighten each time. To get around that, I don't loosen the straps when I take my child out so I don't have to tighten them each time - the clothing your child is wearing shouldn't affect the strap length much if at all (if the clothing is so bulky you have to loosen the straps, it may create too much give in the event of an accident). Now, I do periodically have to loosen the straps a tiny bit as she grows if it gets just too hard to fasten. But, for me that's easier than ranging that adjustment each time.

First of all, love this harness! Will she get any bigger? I ordered a small for my then 6lb shih-tzu and it was perfect! She is now coming up on 8lbs and I see the neck opening is getting a bit tight & I may be ordering the medium soon. Also take into consideration that shih-tzus are bulkier than poms so your baby's neck might be thinner :)

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

I believe the forward part of the leg strap - the "swivel" - is the weak link of this design. My dog's don't come off too frequently, but once in a while when she's lying on her side and shifts they will pop off. I haven't found a good solution, just make sure they're on correctly (they do have a front and a back). Maybe cable ties could be used to help hold them on . . .

I haven't had this problem. My daughter buckles in and if it's too loose we just pull the step straight out towards the front seats and it tightens appropriately.

I first put the collar on with room around his neck, next thing I knew he was trapped with it in his mouth. My husband grabbed him and I struggled to get it off him using the buckle, I then made it tighter. This collar is NOT a breakaway as they claim, so be very careful.

I'm sorry to hear about that! Amazingly, my pup still has his and no issues. If it were me, I'd head out to the craft store or fabric store with the velcro and tag in hand and tell the clerk what I wanted to do and ask for their ideas. I've purchased velcro separately in the past for other projects, so I know it's available. Good luck!

I have never had to adjust it. Is it too big or just not fitting right? I always put it on so the the buckle faces up and then slip it over my head. It rides up over my shoulders quite a bit of the time so I just pull it down on my arms. If it is too big then maybe you need a smaller size.

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.

It won't stay in the diaper, Unfortunately. The hole that allows the tail to be free is too big and it'll come out just the same. I found out the hard way.

It took me several adjustments to get it to fit right. Try letting out on the front adjustment and tightening the one that goes around the chest to see if that might move the straps back . That worked on mine . you could probably make some fleece pads if that doesnt work and than readjust . Remember that this halter isnt meant to be that total answer to pulling. They also still need training as well. It just throws them a bit off when they try to pull. Before our Poodle got the hang of the harness and training he sort of learned to walk sideways to make the harness not work the way it should lol!
