How am I supposed to swiftly adjust the straps if it takes two hands and a lot of adjustments to loosen? The other quick release buckles were so easy!

The more you use it the more accustomed to adjusting it you become. However, I haven't found adjusting the straps "swift". It is an awesome work out though.

I agree with Samara G. The straps are not easy to adjust. The stroller is great otherwise. I would not recommend the Snap 4 if you need to use it regularly for children that are very different in size. For older children that don't need to have the straps pulled tight in order to sit comfortably/safely it would probably be fine.

It's not as easy as some other seats I've used, with only one tensioner, and simple spring latches. It's definitely more difficult to remove, because there is no easy way to release the tension in the latch harness once it's snugged down.

When I was deciding on a car seat, I purchased (and returned) 4 other seats, and this particular problem (being able to reach the seat-belt release) is a deficiency of all the seats I tried that have booster or shoulder belt convertibility. While my son did release it once, I came "unglued" and seem to have sufficiently scared him from ever touching the buckle again. Additionally, I found that if I have the harness tightened appropriately (making sure he only has 2 fingers of space) he can't reach it. The biggest deciding factor for me was that my son was unable to fully free himself once strapped in properly (he was able to loosen the straps on the other brands and unbuckle and then he was out!) The Frontier 90's harness strap release button is to far in for his fingers to reach it.

It's a s snap buckle and you don't have to take it apart to adjust the straps. It's very easy. Thankfully!!

The straps are very easy to tighten if the seat is not installed. However, after you fasten the seat in the vehicle and the mechanism that snaps down to clamp to the vehicle's seatbelt is in place, then the straps are a little difficult to move. It is easy to make a small adjustment, but for a large adjustment in the strap length it is more difficult. So all that you need to do if you need to make a large adjustment in the strap length is to release the mechanism that clamps to the vehicle seatbelt and then make your adjustment and then put it back and put your child back in the seat to make the final adjustment. This may take 1 or 2 tries when you first install the seat but it is not a big deal. And this seat is so easy to install with the new mechanism that clamps down on the seatbelt that overall it will still save you time and effort to install over a conventional seat, even if you have to unclamp it from the vehicle seatbelt once or twice to make a strap length adjustment.

Doug, my straps are held with rivets. I guess you could remove the rivets and reattach using screws and nuts how you wanted.

I have never had to adjust it. Is it too big or just not fitting right? I always put it on so the the buckle faces up and then slip it over my head. It rides up over my shoulders quite a bit of the time so I just pull it down on my arms. If it is too big then maybe you need a smaller size.

I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug. At first I had to feel around under the little flap that covers the hole but once I felt where the button is I realized I could push down on it effortlessly for the release of the straps. It will not be something children can reach to push themselves. So tightening is simply pulling the strap between their legs and that is easy. Excess strap tucks under the edge of the seat easily so they can't grab it and tighten it on themselves accidentally. Releasing it is just as easy but you will need to be familiar with the button position. I hope this helps. I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug.

Yes they are super easy to adjust! You just pull tab to tighten and push two little buttons to loosen.

There is a video on the sunny heatlt web site , its quite simple you unscrew the screws on the bottom a square sllides ot between the to sides you have to unscrew the knob that is used to tighten and pull out another part pulling upwards after all is off you will see there is a plastic buckle with a lever which is what is used to tighten or loosen , careful not to pull upwards to hard the plastic part can crack, its very similar to the ones used on backpacks , any way lift the lever and pull the belt as hard as you can and then lower it so the little belt doesnt slip back . put eberything back together

That's a tough one to explain, make sure you give the latches enough give then clip into your seat. Same for the back latch. There is a grey button that you push that will give you more slack for each strap. Once you clip everything in just pull everything tight. I hope that helps. Maybe they have some videos on YouTube to help more.

It took me several adjustments to get it to fit right. Try letting out on the front adjustment and tightening the one that goes around the chest to see if that might move the straps back . That worked on mine . you could probably make some fleece pads if that doesnt work and than readjust . Remember that this halter isnt meant to be that total answer to pulling. They also still need training as well. It just throws them a bit off when they try to pull. Before our Poodle got the hang of the harness and training he sort of learned to walk sideways to make the harness not work the way it should lol!

You can adjust the shoulder straps and that moves the back strap. I gave read reviews where people had difficulty reaching the back strap, but so far I haven't had a problem. It's a little awkward but I love this ergo and make it work

Hello! You have to twist only the band, the buckle must remain in the center and facing out wards hope this helps

Its not hard. Slip the thin part of the strap into the bottom or top hole and push it through leaving an open loop. Thread the thick part through the loop, pull tight and you are all set.Good LuckKenWebmasterAbout Facts Net
