Do the cargo buckles come out when not in use? Sometimes I haul stuff and the wheel chock is easily removed from the base, but the tie downs?

Yes, they hook to the base and can be removed when not in use, which is what i do....

Tie downs can also be removed rather simply and quickly if need be...but they don't really take up much room anyway...

Yes, the cargo buckles simply snap attach to the floor ring. To disconnect you simply squeeze the connector and they are disconnected. It take about 2 seconds.

The ratchet straps are easily removed, but the buckles themselves are bolted to the floor.

Yes, the cargo buckles cam be removed easily with the base staying in place.

It comes off using force upward on the bassinet and pulling down on the rest. It has belts to easily attach it if you want; I never did and had no problems.

When I lift the bag off the rack the bag does not come off the handles if that is what you mean. The handles are loose when they are off the rack but that is as designed so if you want to remove the bags from the handles it is easy to do so. I am very satisfied with the sturdiness of this product.

Yes, you can either leave the cargo cover in or take it out. We leave it in and just press the top flap down to the back of the back seat when our dogs are in the car.

You can remove the straps. If I remember correctly they are not even attached when you take item out of box.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by taking it apart. You only need to undo the velcro, insert the metal poles back into the holes that are in the "basket" part of the carrier after washing it. The rings that the straps attach to slip through slits in the seat part. Once you do it you will see how simple it really is. I know crazy isn't it!!!

What are u trying to tie down? The latches on the unit secure the doors very well, they will not come open in transport even on the bumpiest roads.

The metal holders at the middle of the cart pull right out and they actually come detached from the cart. The plastic cups at the bottom of the cart are riveted onto the cart so you would have to drill out the rivets to remove them.

I have a cargo liner and don't strap mine down. It stays very well. There are places in my 2014 Escape to hook the straps to, but I don"t use them.

The buckles go through the roof rack. I happen to cable tie the ends so they wouldn't flap in the wind as posted by someone else. I found it to be useful information.

I have a traverse. With the third row completely up, you can't fit it in the cargo area; you'd have to fold the two seat section down to get it back there with the tray on.

I just used a ratchet strap ( three of them ) to hold them down. This works pretty good, but you need to be careful because they will rub together. This unit does a very good job transporting bikes or anything else you need. I have mine on the back of my camper and used it several times last year.

Nope, no need for the mat. For my application the cargo bag lays on a flat bed roof rack atop my pickup. I did buy high quality straps though (Ancra buckles, not knockoffs. You get what you pay for.), replacing the hold-down straps that came with the cargo bag (laced buckles are useless for this). See: http://www.nrs.com/product/1445/nrs-15-hd-tie-down-strapsTwo foot straps work well for my application. I'm not sure why anyone would need the super long straps recommended.

No, deck has to come off. Cart is made pretty cheaply too. Upgrade the wheels if going with an R8 and planning on carrying heavy loads. I bought a big canvas army bag to fly with it too.

You can buy a ratcheting cargo bar from home depot. Or you can get flat metal stock and u bolts to attach to existing tie downs...depending on your truck. The cargo bar will secure it for transport but not from theft.

The bags do attach and detach. And without the bags it is a harness. I'm not sure if that answers your question.

Oh yeah! There's a release lever to unstrap. It comes with 2 straps and releasing doesn't damage the locking mechanism. The straps are quite long. You may want to trim them a bit.
