do the straps come off? (to paint the basket)

straps are plenty sturdy, odd since so many things these days are so poorly constructed.

No, they don't come off TOO easily. Very easily, but not too. The hooks are "deep" enough that gravity keeps them on the frame without any difficulty or "accidental" dislodging. I hope this answers your question! :)

Actually the bracket attaches to the handlebars, and the basket slides onto the bracket. there are two straps that go through the basket and around the handlebars There is also a curved piece on the bracket that 'rests' against the post that goes down from the handlebars. I have recently had the straps that secure the basket to the handlebars break. I am going today to get a couple of leather dog collars to replace them. Other than that, the basket works great for my 13 lb. fur-companion. I have a lightweight bicycle and have to be careful with the extra weight on the front. With the scooter, it would be great, as long as you have the clearance for the basket, and a post for the bracket to lean on.

you have to remove the basket (6 bolts) and then the top goes down fine.Its not difficult but it is a pain if you do it alot.You may want to get different bolts for the basket if thats the case because the allen heads on the supplied bolts wont last if you remove them alot.

I would say that the straps will come clean if you remove the food immediately. Otherwise, it is very difficult to remove stains. The straps are not coated. As I inspect my high chair, I am noticing stains all across the strapping.

The rear basket doesn't come off at all, but I tried taking it up a few stairs and it works just fine, and the BIG basket is Wonderful, because I was able to fit 4 cases of soft drinks in bottom of cart, and then set everything else on top of that, and I still had the back part of the basket to put my Bread, Eggs, Paper towels etc. in, and I did it all in ONE TRIP!

No, they are not. It might be they unscrew in some fashion but I have not seen a way to do so in my use of them. I have only focused on using them with the handles however, but I don't see a way to detach them just by glancing at them.

Never a silly question:) The inside straps with hooks actually got caught in my chain & snapped off & I had to fix the chain. I would make sure they are very securely hooked onto something or cut them off altogether. The other hook on the other side got caught in my wheel & snapped off!

I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I had been wondering the same thing. I had the WHOLE thing torn apart after messy episode in the car, and I couldn't remove the straps.

Not easily - they appear to be welded or some other really strong adhesively attached to the baskets. They aren't attached at just points but rather the entire number is attached - make sense?

Yes it comes right off, in fact it is made to pop off and put different accessories on, like surfboard rack, basket attachment, and so forth.

Yes as long as you didn;t have the basket stuffed with junk.Straps on both sides of basket that easily fasten to the front bar of the walker. Also have a fasterner in the cente - you can put on end under hte rod in front and fasten it so the junk does not fall out.

I've had several of these type of makers. I've never had a problem removing the basket. I usually wait til it is cool and use my finger. Are you perhaps asking about the gasket?

No. The metal handle and frame detaches (all as one piece), but the basket is basically a heavy-duty, insulated, fabric bag, all one piece, with a drawstring at the top.

You can remove the straps. If I remember correctly they are not even attached when you take item out of box.

The canopy folds almost flat against the handle bar; I am fairly confident you would be okay without removing it. To directly answer your question, after inspecting my stroller the canopy appears to come off by either a set of screws at the hinge point or a screw at the base of each hoop. Both methods would require removing a screw on each side of the handle bar to get all of the cloth off.

It comes off. You have to pull the straps and bottom buckle out first from the front. Wiggle the flat metal piece from the back through the plastic seat and then through fabric.
