How do the buckles connect? Are they the type you just push one side into the other and it snaps (plastic), like some backpacks? Is it easy on & off?

Hard to explain, easy to do. The one half slips through the other. Has been very secure with my big wiggly strong dog.

It's difficult to explain the buckles, but the piece on the strap that goes around the tummy side slides thru the piece that is attached to the side of the harness on the back of the dog. It does so in a perpendicular fashion. Once it's thru the larger piece the two pieces flatten out together. The tension on the harness as it goes around the dog holds the buckle shut. It is made of metal and is nothing at all like those plastic things that snap together. There is a buckle on each side so you can unfasten it from either side. You could unfasten both, I suppose, but I just undo one of them and slide the leg out on the other side. Hope that is some help.

These buckles are not like the conventional "snap together" types (plastic). These buckles are metal and you would have to fasten them by passing one end through the 'eye" of the other metal piece. Trust me... this is a very awesome harness. It will take you a few times to get the hang of putting it on and taking it off, but it will become second nature. Get it... you will not be disappointed.

The one I purchased is Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Harness 3055 Series. The buckles are all steel nesting buckles (slide in to slot and don't snap). No plastic. Easy once you get used to it; our 5 month old Golden just grew into the second size up so we've been pleased with both.

There are two snaps on each side. But they are only in a single row. So they go horizontally they are not vertical. There are rise snap so you can adjust for a smaller or larger babies and there's two settings but three snaps vertically. As to the Velcro versus snaps: for ease of use I always find myself grabbing Velcro first. It just is so much easier to get the perfect fit, and it's just easy. Except you do have to remember to use the laundry tabs when they get yucky so that means when they have poop on them and you want to just put it in your diaper bin you have to remember to fold the tabs and which kind of sucks, and my husband always forgets. Another downside to the Velcro is they really will not last as long as snaps. I have not looked into it but there's a lot of videos on how to supposedly, easily, repair the Velcro. I have repaired elastic on my diapers and it's pretty straightforward so that should be similar. That being said I prefer to buy snaps, with the hopes that they will last longer. On some of our diapers I've noticed even after only two months of use, and using the laundry tabs, that the Velcro just isn't the same. that worries me. With my first child we got by with only snaps and it was just fine. Hope that helps!

its kind of easy. You just take the seat out of the base, then push the button on the from near where the buckle part is. While holding it, push the strap in. THe instructions are also behind the seat.

I'm not 100% sure if the one I just got came w/ the improved buckle but I will say that the buckle is really easy for me to fasten and unfasten. The buckle on my daughter's carrier was a pain in the booty and this one is so easy that I'm in love!

The top zips closed, so if you zip it and buckle that front buckle, theres no need to worry about it opening while you are carrying it. It opens really easily if you keep it unzipped/unclipped- really quick access.

I bought the strap one it seems really secure doesn't move much even on a Mtb. Can't say much about the buckle. The nickel does seem like it would be easier to take on and off although the strap only takes seconds to take off

There is only one buckle abd it latches on their side right about in their middle ... my dog LOVES this harness. ... the buckle isn't a factor it didn't bother her at all... highly recommend it!

hmm. some pockets are narrower and shallower than others. i find that as long as the tool is in the pocket, and you roll it tight, everything staysin place. but the buckles are cheap plastic-i cracked one while tightening the strap. i ended up adding quick release buckles which work better. the roll is itself is durable.

Nicole, if I understand your question you're asking if the iPad comes out of the bag easily? The answer is: it can be taken out but not that easily which is a good thing because the case is good protection. If you are asking about the straps yes they come off. I use it that way at home because they get in my way with as much use as I give my iPad. I use the straps when I carry the iPad out of the house. The buckles don't bother me as far as cosmetically or get in my way when the straps are off. I love it and recommend it!

That square of leather goes on both sides of the strap to which the buckle is attached. On the back of that square is a snap. My bag has stitching across the top and bottom and down both sides. I see what you are asking about on the pictures; I had never noticed that BUT the stitching on top and bottom must be there for looks because it does't attach anything - it is just sewn through the leather. The stitches down he sides attach the leather front to the leather back where the snap is located. I hope this helps.

I load my bag fairly full, and NEVER had the strap release. It has metal clasps, which is why I bought it because my other bag had plastic ones and it could not handle the weight. I put a laptop, and iPad as well as paperwork and extra stuff. I love my bag!

As stated earlier, this pack uses a Velcro strap to attach to the seat post and a buckle that loops through the underside of the seat. After the straps are tightened the Aero pack is quite secure. It definitely won't fall off accidentally. There can be some shifting sideways (less than 3/8") but it's not disruptive at all. What's best for you may depend on how you ride most of the time. If you use your bike to run errands, commute to work, exercise or just for fun this pack should work well. If you are a serious enthusiast (purist) or marathon rider the Aero pack may not be for you due to that added drag or weight. I like mine and find that it's a nice place to put my keys and emergency tools.

The version I purchased in March of 2015 is adjustable with the included white plastic buckle that came loose in the bag. Place the buckle convex side up on top the upper half of the 2-inch strap. Fold the strap and thread some of the folded strap into the under-side (concave side) and over the center of the buckle, out around the upper outer edge of the buckle (the edge you have near the metal grommet and cinch cord), and then down through the inside again. This allows you to shorten the length of the strap so the bag does not hit you low in the legs and impede walking.

they are all workable buckles...I just close the center one and leave the other two open and secured, so I only need to open the center buckle. Unless I need it more secured, like while travelling. This is in my opinion a great case...very satisfied.

It is not a buckle. One end slides into the other end until it clicks. To undo, you have to squeeze each side of it. It's typical of many dog collars. If you do a search in amazon for "Sassy Dog Wear Adjustable Dog Collar", that one shows the fastener part really well. It's like that.

The strap attaches like buckling a belt. You can remove the strap but you will still have the buckles on each end of the case. I just slide the strap through the triangular space created when the iPad is propped up for use. It is a little cumbersome, but not too bad.
