how do you secure the zippered section that hides the straps when you are using the straps? It looks like it is just flapping around to me.

My son uses the bag for middle school and loves it. Light weight and very durable. He is in school but dont recall anything flapping around. I'll ask when he gets home

It has a secured Velcro that attaches on bottom of pack that prevents it from just hanging down. Super nice and easily done, and doesn't look obvious. Love this backpack.

The zipper is hidden, on the back about a quarter of the way down from the top you'll find a small flap. It took me awhile too. But you'll find it!

The only place that is not totally secured is at the top where all 3 zippers meet. I hope this helps you.

Without an image not completely sure but it sounds like you need to adjust the straps underneath to be tighter

Do you have front and rear bars? Basically you should have something to keep this cargo bag in place; otherwise it's going to slide around on your roof and that could have bad consequences. I read in a review where someone ran the straps through the door openings and across the inside roof liner, but I'd be worried about that setup since it doesn't prevent sliding around and shifting. There are bags made to secure to roofs without racks. I'd look for one of those if you don't have anything on your roof.

Oh yeah! There's a release lever to unstrap. It comes with 2 straps and releasing doesn't damage the locking mechanism. The straps are quite long. You may want to trim them a bit.

No problem. It is a great piece. We don't use a safety strap. We feel the chances of zipper are so small it isn't warranted.

I had the same problem until I figured out you have to make sure both soft straps are around the legs as well as the thin straps are on each side and then tighten it securely. I have 3 dogs and each one has one. Won't go for a walk without them.

There is a foam block/cushioned boost, in the brown zippered section seen in the picture.If you remove it, that will lower the seat position by a few inches and you can tighten the straps a bit more to secure the booster to the seat it is attached to .Hope that helps.

So mine had the same issue. What I did to correct this was to loosen the clamps along the bed rails then allow them to shift around as I pulled and tugged everything into place. I also had made the mistake is not fully engaging the J hooks before zipping. If you have the J hooks fully engaged to where you hear a "snap" you should then be able to slide the window back and forth along the j hook in order to get better alignment from the zippers. I have never had any leaks.

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

Becareful over tightening the straps because you will break a buckle. BTDT. The straps should be snug, they don't need to be so tight you can pluck them like a bass. put a twist in the front strap so they don't lie flat and this is enough to change the airflow over the strap to stop the buzzing. The rear straps don't need to be twisted because the airflow is already rough by the time it reaches the rear straps

You need to losen the straps. You tube the video on how to do it. That's what I did. You need to raise it from the back I had the same issue till I watched the video.

I was wondering that too before. Put both zippers together and just zip down with them at the same time. It might take a few tries, but I got it without trying once and thought I broke it.

I don't thing so l buckling and unbuckling a belt would. . of course there are to buckles on ech side and the claw hooks with bungycords ujnder the sedse to hold them down and close the sides of the bike. cook and unhook too . me I use small suitcase locks to lock the main compartments . and just leave them on my bike. and hope no one will take the time to steal them. so fare no one has in all the years I have used these kind of bags . hope I was helpful keith

Put a safety pin/paper clip through the zipper hole. This becomes a handle to pull the zipper. It's design this way so babies can't undo the zippers and play w. the padding material.

I had that problem until I adjusted the straps tighter. I was losing weight, so the protector was sliding down. I don't have that issue with the straps pulled in tighter. The interior is foam, so it is a little form fitting.
