Are the shoulder straps removable? Or can you at least just use the waist straps for an older child?

The should straps really aren't removable but I use the waist strap and not the shoulder all the time bc my kid is 4.

I'm not sure if the straps are completely removable but I know that you can use the lap straps alone.

Yes. The shoulder straps can unhook. Ther also adjust to different heights on the back

Yes, the shoulder straps are removable and you can just use the waist strap!

They are removeable I believe and you can definitely just use the lap straps.

Yes the shoulder straps are removable and you can just use the waist strap!

Yes the shoulder straps are removable. You can remove them completely or simply disconnect them from the waist buckle.

Yes, there is a lever under a flap of fabric near where the child's knees would be. This is where you can adjust the straps.

No they are not removable. I am a very small person. I don't use the chest strap that often haven't noticed that it was a big bother.

Yes its removable but by instructions the straps nor crotch buckle should never be washed or submerged in water it should only be wiped with a damp cloth or baby wipe. You can use a damp cloth & dawn soap or baby shampok but never submerge in water

yes, the straps through the back portion (shoulder straps) can be removed and thoroughly cleaned but the strap which feeds between the legs cannot be easily removed. The "leg" strap attaches from inside the center post. You may be able to remove the strap if you dismantle the post

It is not removable, but you could cut it off if you didn't like or need it. The waist strap came neatly folded and tied together, I just left like that and it doesn't seem to get in my way.

Yes shoulder straps are padded. They are pretty light weight I would say 2-3lbs.

yes, the straps appear to be easily removed and then reinstalled. We love this chair.

They're not. The shoulder straps can be shorten or extended at the bottom and at the buckles for the hip straps. The opening at the top is also tapered. Bought the pack for my electronics but the hole was a bit small to squeeze through.

Yes you can remove the strap. I just tried to to make sure. I hope this helps.

Doug, my straps are held with rivets. I guess you could remove the rivets and reattach using screws and nuts how you wanted.

I'm 200lbs and the straps are currently set to the smallest it can be, so i would say yeah i dont see it being a problem for the shoulders. The waist strap may not though.

I would definitely use the straps, especially as your baby gets older-for safety. My baby slept in until 5 months and she moved a lot.

If you have the straps properly adjusted you should be fine. there is velcro near the shoulders that allow for straps to be put through (There's a picture of my twins that shows this)

I'm pretty sure there is not an additional shoulder strap. I'm not sure why you wouldn't use just one or both of the backpack straps since they work great. There is also a handle type strap on top.

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.

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.
