When the straps are tightened, do both sides tighten at the same time and rate?

Yes, the individual shoulder straps are both attached to a single strap that is used to loosen and tighten.

It's opposite, you have to turn it to the right to loosen and left to tighten

Yes this is true. There's a handle in the back you have to pull out and then up or down to adjust the headrest and straps simultaneously. It would be impossible to do while installed. You DO NOT have to rethread the straps.

Yes. Short of sitting in it myself, I keep pressing down on the seat and pulling the strap, from both sides of the car. Additionally, we've taken the anchor strap used in the forward facing position and clipped it to the bar under the rear seat. This does help it feel more secure.

I wore mine at the same time. Not sure it made any difference. They do work, if you are diligent about wearing them.

It shouldn't matter. I use mine on the right side, but because of the placement of the straps, you could use it on either side.

I have the same problem with one side not locking when stowing. It does lock when towing and that is what matters to me. I have the cover for it when stowed so it keeps it in place.

Yes, both sides stretch, but like any other stretch velcro straps, they eventually lose the stretch and stickiness after long use

If you by one person with forearms and other with shoulder, then yes. If one person attempted both at the same time, the purpose of the shoulder straps would be pointless.

We recently traveled 30 hours at various speeds, including 70mph interstates and curvy mountain roads. The straps did not seem to loosen. Great experience. I do recommend tying the front tires together when traveling with two bikes to prevent movement. And the bottom part rests best ON your license plate. Ours slipped down the first trip, but stayed attached.

Never tried it but if the bag was rotated to one side I think the two straps would hold secure but look a little strange. Good luck.

yes. that is how it works. I am an athlete and lean and the strap fits well and i have not had a problem. i follow the instructions, wet the back first and it has been accurate for me. heart rate and timer can be displayed on same screen.

It does. It will need to be tightened on occasion. Overall, this is a great deal.

Yes. There are 6 total straps with flat hooks that prevent it from moving up, down or right to left.

I think so. I drove over 2,000 miles cross country here in the U.S.A. at speeds between 65 and 75 mph, and the two straps sufficiently kept everything secure. It is important to check your straps at every stop, but I only had to retighten them slightly at about the 1,800 mile point in the trip.

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.

Yes this harness does tighten some. The center chest section is like a Martingale collar. It will only tighten so much. It works well when adjusted correctly.
