I do but i clamp the top tube instead of the seat post. (Instructions say to clamp to tube on every bike) all the other bikes i use the seat tube.

Yes, you can loosen it. I had the opposite issue. Clamp was too loose and wouldn't hold. So, in had to tighten it more.

If you mountain type...that is what is mine is on. I put the clamp on then lowered the seat as far as i could. Can't say enough great things.

I found my seat had a wide range of adaptability...I used it on 2 different bikes so far and I only had to open the clamp a little wider on the second bike. Make it fit! it is an awesome seat!

Tighten the tension screw ( plastic knob ) a few turns at a time and then clamp it down. If its still loose, unclamp and turn the knob a few more times until you achieve your desired tension.

You have to work it slowly like I'm sure youve already tried. I Even slightly bent in a small bit of the side to get it to at least start. Then wiggle it around in a circle til it finally seats. Its a pain in the Butt. Sorry no great secret way.

You should be able to tighten that clamp. To do this, first unclamp it, then turn the knob on opposite end of clamp clockwise. Then try clamping it again. You should be able to turn that knob with your hands, if not you can use pliers.

I recently ordered this chair. The clamps are made out of rubber type material with grippers. This design makes it clamp on very tight. Now, if you are going to leave the chair installed all the time which is what I do, you might want to check if it still hold every time you let your kid in (just as safety factor)

Hi Anna, Thank you for contacting us! In response to your inquiry, anytime you are using the handlebar *in-between* the top and bottom height settings, you must tighten the clamp in a particular manner: 1) First, unlatch the handlebar clamp 2) Next, raise to desired height 3) Tighten clamp with No. 5 Allen Key **before** closing latch 4) Finish by closing handlebar latch-- this should be somewhat difficult if the appropriate amount of handlebar tension is achieved Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help-- we have a toll-free telephone number, 888-236-5657, and are open Mon-Fri from 9am to 5pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). Cheers!

On my bike the seat clamp is welded directly on to the frame. Insert and adjust the seat post to the proper length. Tighten the clamp with the allen head bolt that should be provided with the bike. Attach the seat to the post. Adjust as necessary. Good luck.

depending on width of your seat post. (sorry I cannot help with that) You could wrap some (clean) shop towels around it and soften the grip. The inner portion of the clamp is a 'softer' plastic. This was mentioned on a different site selling this stand "Screw type clamp adjusts to fit tubes of various shapes from 7/8" to 3"" i believe there may be adapters for this issue.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

On the right side, underneath the seat is a lever. This lever controls the height of the chair and also locks out the tilt feature if it is pushed inward toward the user. Pull it out (ie away from you) and this should fix the problem. If it does not, then there is something mechanically wrong with your product

Yes, it is very hard for me to tighten the harness as well. I end up using my arms against the seat as leverage when I pull the harness tight, and I have almost permanent bruises from doing so.

I have never experienced this issue and I have two of these seats! Hopefully someone else has some suggestions for you.

I'm not sure what your problem is but, I had no problem. I stretched the seat belt out as far as it would extend and threaded it as directed while still holding the seatbelt out and secured the belt in the lock. Then I let the belt go. It will not be as tight as it should. Put your knee in the seat and pull it tight and the seat should not move much. Of course I also had the top of the seat attached to the car loop. Hope that helps.
