Can someone explain how to install the seat? Step 4 of instructions say "Install Seat" and just show an arrow like the seat clicks on or something. It's just a simple post and if you just place it on the post like it says then there's no way of it staying on or it being tight at all?

It just sits in and then you tighten the screws ,,,maybe try tightening it more of maybe yours is defective. We didn't have any difficulty with ours.

You just really have to tighten it the best you can. I initially thought the same thing but I was able to tighten the seat and it does not move. The smallest crank makes a big difference. Good Luck!

Put the bottom seat bracket into the seat stud on the bike and tighthen the nuts as far as you can go until it holds your seat. Also look for a gel seat cover that goes over the seat for comfort when riding long cycles.

I think there might be something wrong with the seat of your bike. Ours screwed into place with the two screws very tight. The seat itself slides onto the flat piece that screws onto the bike. There is a knob that you turn on the underside of the seat to adjust how far you want it to be away from the bike.

I couldn't attach the seat either - there were no directions. I had to wait until my nephew came in from out of town and he attached it for me.

Make sure that when you tighten the one bolt you keep the one on the other side from turning. Two adjustable wrenches will help with that. Hold the one side still while you tighten the other. Tighten until the seat no longer wigles. I had not problems, other than I remember it took quite a few turns to get it tight. good luck. Oh, by the way, if you contact the manufacturer, they are VERY helpfull.

I think it may matter (previous answer). I had the manual which made it easy. I would call the company who is selling the seat. They are very knowledgeable and can guide you. I found that even in a given year there are some variations that required some eativity to install the seat.

Unusual. Have never seen any other way to attach a seat, neither in the US nor in Europe. Are you sure it would not work? You may have a different image of a screw in this case. There is a lock mechanism involved. If English is not your native language (as in my case), the terminology may be confusing. Good luck.

This particular seat does not have the Click Tight installation method. You would see CT or Click Tight in the description. This particular seat is installed using a seat belt or latch method.

I had the same problem. The front keeps dropping. I looked at the instructions and they show a support which goes into two little tubes. However, I never received this piece. I contacted the seller who told me that it would be sent, but it never arrived. I don't use this seat anymore because of this.

When I purchase my cover, I don't recall seeing any instructions. The instructions I have seen aren't that good. I try to secure the bottom(seat) as tight as possible first, then pull the back tight. phil

I found it impossible to figure out as well. I had to take it to a professional bike shop and they managed to mount it and I DO know it required extra parts on their end. Once installed it was great! Just getting it there took more time and $$ that I would have wanted to invest. It was a gift for my son-in-law (on a Schwinn bike) or I would have tried to look and see exactly how they mounted it to the seat for you. Unfortunately, the bike is not here where I can see it... Sorry! Good luck!

yes it is frustrating. i pull the straps as tight as i can and then pull down on the strap that tightens it. it feels like it is off the track or something. it is my biggest complaint about this seat as i feel i can't get the straps as tight as they should be.

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

You should not have to...I took my old seat off and used the same hardware to put the new one on.Of course, you will want to take a picture of how the seat is attached to the post and a close up on how theparts go together to hold the seat in place. (I wish I had done a better job taking the parts off and remembering how they were on the seat!) Easier idea, bring it to your local bike shop, just the post and seat, they will haveit on within minutes!Enjoy the ride.....

Yes there were no instructions; just winged it until it was secure. Hooked the seat portion to the bar under the seat and just pushed the seatclips through the gap where the back meets the seat. Sorry wish I could. Be more helpful

There should be lever/bolt tightener assembly directly under the seat. Pull the lever out, rotate the lever and attached bolt counter clockwise, adjust seat up or down to your requirements, then reverse the procedure to tighten it up. It shouldn't require any tools. Very similar to the front axle (quick removal theoretically) assembly.

Yes, however, it is not complicated. You screw the seat to the post bracket. The post itself is a friction fit into the base. We like them. Bought a second two after getting the first set.

Hi, this is my technique, it's awkward: Put the side tray down. Facing the chair, reach down and put your hands on either side of the seat and grasp the aluminum frame. (You are now holding the chair by seat of the chair) Now the action is this: you want to pull up on the side pieces of the chair seat, until your hands touch each other and the chair has folded together. The problem I find is getting the leverage to pull the seat sides upward. My solution is to push the sides of my arms against the chair arms as I'm pulling up on the seat. This is awkward and I look like some weird kind of stork-like bird, I'm sure, but it works for me. My brain can't think of another way to do it. I think I've tried the same move standing behind the chair, but the high back gets in my way. Good Luck! By the way, the colors fade horribly in strong sunlight (I live in the desert). And then the fabric deteriorates. I've been meaning to write Amazon about it. But everybody loves the chairs and finds them comfortable. Good Luck!

There is a lever below the seat on the left hand side near the back. Push the lever forward to release the seat and then when the seat is where you want it, push the lever to the back to secure the seat.
