I couldn't figure it out, so I just use without the straps! Let me know if you get an answer that would help us both.

Its funny that the picture that they show don't give clues to how it works. I am guessing you may have only treaded one side of the strap thru. After putting the strap thru the medal ring you tread the other half thru. Send me your email and I will send a picture to you. dsbucklin@yahoo.com (david).

Try switching around the feet and don't tighten anything until you get all the bolts through. If anything, you might have to drill a little, but I didn't have to. Just keep it kinda loose, until you get everything in.

I think I had the same issue when I set mine up. You need to use the small allen wrench to turn the screw on the bottom to feed the strap through the slot.

I've had mine about a year now, I just simply pull the velcro straps tighter, the upper and the one close to the knee, is most important. Not to tight

Hi Dave, We initially had the same problem... those poor little feet. However, if you look at page 10 of the Owner's Manual the instructions (and diagrams) state "Pull on small loop until the sewn end of the loop passes through the adjustment buckle. Continue to pull out the small loop until the strap is the proper length". We fiddled around with this for a while until we figured out how it worked. I was a bit confusing to say the least! Our 5 month old absolutely loves this toy now. Hope this helps. Lynn

I have the same question. Can't seem to figure out the straps to get them to hold. Carrier just keeps coming lose and goes it's own direction. Reading below suggests a bungee cord........for what I paid for two of these you'd think it would work.

Get new straps from Home Depot. You want a ratchet type buckle that won't slip. They go around the kayak and under the rack bars. Don't forget to tie down front and back.

We have the same issue. We were able to tighten them a little bit just by snapping I'm in tighter but they still seem a little loose.

I've found if I tighten from the back and then pull the strap no problem but it is impossible to tighten from the strap itself

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there. But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

Absolutely - I accidentally widened the strap so that it came apart, and it totally goes together again very easily. Just make sure there is enough strap to go back into the piece that allows you to tighten it again. Good luck.

You could try checking the tension using the instructions in the manual. If it's too loose it will come off.

we stop the straps from making noise by twisting them aroud themselves and tying them down so there is no slack. we have a roof rack so we didn't have a gap in the door. hope this heps

Just tie the extra slack from behind the sliding clasp to its self. Then put the last loop in the locking carabiner. Now no one can loosen the strap.

Hi Maria,Thanks for your inquiry!The four compression straps which cinch down the bag are double touch quick release, so they won't pop loose at any point. If you want to completely lock these straps into place, I'd recommend a small, lightweight cable lock, to ensure its length can travel across the two top straps.Hope that helps!The Gear Out Here Team
