can the front strap strangle/choke a child in any way???

I wouldn't think it would be able too. It seems safely made and I have never had a problem with my child and the backpack. I would just keep an eye on the child just like you would anytime. It is completely worth the money though!

I would say no more so than a backpack's arm straps if the child is left unattended. We've actually found it's better with the chest strap because it holds the backpack to our daughter in the proper position.

No way, once the strap is not in ur hands, just fold it in the side pocket �

It could if child is left unattended. But if used correctly under adult supervision this shouldn't be an issue.

I suppose that would depend on the person. I've never had this problem but understand the concern. But any strap would have this same issue, it just might be bumping into things from the front instead of the sides.

I don't think so. The carrier is shaped for the baby's bottom, so if you carried baby to the front, I believe it would be uncomfortable for him or her. I will say that my son can still see and appears to be engaged when facing me.

I would say no. It is basically an Ergo with different straps. The baby carry position is very similar.

I would say not a good place. The shoulder part of the car seatbelt feeds through a clip at the child's shoulder and then the lap part of the car seat belt goes over their lap and connects. The car seat does not have any belts on it.

I think this strap would be uncomfortable for kids because of its width. Unless it supports a very heavy guitar like a Les Paul, this is probably overkill. It can be made short enough for short arms.

No. The Kid will wear the seat belt like an Adult over the sholder and tummy.The belt clicks into the regular car strap.

Mine was & did. My child was in the front zip vest & it kept moving up, under the chin. It was very uncomfortable & my child complained the entire time. This fixed the problem. No complaints & great boyancy.

I'm pretty sure they can. There isn't really anything that would restrict you. The open end up the strap may just be a little longer.

I've never tried it personally, but I'm pretty sure the strap would be long enough to go around one another. Like 85% sure lol

Were you using the top tether or just a lap/shoulder belt? If the vest was top-tethered I can't picture a kid leaning far down enough to be putting his/her chin to her knees. Some folks who might be better able to help you with this question are the certified child-passenger safety techs at the internet forum http://www.car-seat.org - they're very helpful and knowledgeable. Hope that helps!

I wouldn't say so. The straps are loose and really there to keep someone from falling out on a bump. They do not secure the child in place. A 5 month old may fit easily through the sides of the straps.

No I don't think that's safe to do. I don't think that's the intended purpose of this strap anyway.

Yes the strap stays in the loop it's kind of difficult for a child to undo it.

You have to have somewhere to anchor the straps at the child's waist area. You loop it around something then through it's self (if that makes sense?). So I'm not sure.

My son never had that problem with this car seat. The Velcro on the straps is the soft side of the Velcro, but if it's a problem, you could probably put thin shoulder straps over it.

You probably can .... but I wouldn't recommend it. The manufacturer does not mention that a strap can be used, so to be on the safe side you probably should not. Hope this was helpful.
