With my neck strap, if I try to hug my kid, the camera swings forward and bonks him on the forehead. Will this strap prevent this?

Very. Good question. I just got my setup. It. Has two plastic locks that can be set two stop camera from sliding back or forward. I think it will help to keep things safer when the little one is around.

Yes, the camera will hang to your hip (or waiste if your a bigger guy like me) You can even slide one of the bumpers down to keep it from moving from your hip at all.

There is a adjustable clip lock on the strap that will prevent the camera from swinging forward.

It is intended to be a quick access sling so this would swing forward if you bend over.

Wow what a interesting question, let me just say that after put this shoulder strap on there is another clipped strap that secures it futher that goes under the arm, plus you can adjust the strap with sliding clamps to prevent it in a standing position from moving, or swinging...but by leaning over to hug your child this may negate that. So after considering this for you, I'd have to say that I doubt that very few straps would be that secure. Hope this helps. Ps. I love this strap.

Love this item. There's an elastic band that maintains its closure. No strap for holding, you can use elastic band but may stress band to much eventually. 360 is wonderful and accounts for cam view.hope that helps. Hakee.

Absolutely you can use your own strap. I use my own strap as the brown leather one that comes with the cover was not that comfy around my neck. So with the cover on and closed or the cover on but open to allow photos your strap will allow the camera to hang from your neck.

Honestly I don't know as I use the strap that came with the camera. My strap is still wraped like the one in the photo.Alan

I put a burp cloth down under my son so it would be soft and cover the strap. It is not recommended to put your baby in it without using straps. I will also for safety reasons not say to use it without straps. I did however use it with my son and he was swaddled and not strapped. I never left him in it and he was so little he was not rolling around or reaching. Hope this is helpful! Oh p.s. The vibrate feature was a huge lifesaver. This really was one of the few things I took with us everywhere.

Yes, I have the neck strap and hand/wrist strap both attached to my camera. They're very comfortable. The hand/wrist strap is 1 piece.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there.But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

It's never been an issue for me. When the camera's at rest on the strap, gravity keeps the camera down and thus no scratching, likewise when you're holding the camera, gravity keeps the clip down. I suppose the clip might rub against the camera when you're holding the camera sideways for portraits, but there's no real force being applied to the clip and scratching's never happened. I know where your concerns are coming from though: those reviews of people vigorously rubbing the clip against the camera...but this never happens in real life--at least in my experience.

No, he has not been hurt by the neck strap. If you are worried, you could always cut it off.

The strap is a conventional length neck strap. It is meant to be worn around the neck so as to position the camera facing front for easy accessibility when shooting pictures.

Depends on how big the helmet is..the strap on the camera is pretty long..if u put the camera on the helmet its gonna point up..so I would put it directly on your forehead not the helmet

I think that it is well made enough to catch a camera if the other part fails. It definitely won't snap immediately if used just as a backup in case the strap fails but I'm sure that if you had a heavy camera hanging from it for a week it would eventually snap. Using this strap though creates a mess of straps and cords. It is kind of annoying in my opinion. I ended up just switching back to a normal camera strap because I didn't like the messy straps and cords created with using this.

Yes it comes with a neck strap, but it's the generic Nikon strap, it's not very comfortable for long term use. I actually swapped out my old camera strap for the one it came with. The strap is sufficient, but if you spend a lot of time with your camera around your neck I recommend buying one with better padding in the long run.

No thats how the head strap comes. Mounted so your camera sits on your forehead and looks outward.

I tried it both ways. When I attached both straps the got in the way when trying to position the camera. It is possible that I got it wrong, but I don't think so.

The more quickly you move the camera up and down the strap the more likely the strap is to shift on your shoulder. If you try to hang the camera down and the strap isn't secure on your shoulder there is a slight possibly of dropping your rig. The strap makes that impossible. I feel very secure and confident about my gear when I have the under the arm strap attached.

no, its will hurt the baby's neck. my son is about 7 months old when he used this, he pretty much love it. Good for infant who can control their head/neck, or at least have a strong neck to support their heavy head.
