Can the buckle be changed ? (Meaning, does the strap open with snaps or screws. Allowing the buckle to switched out for another)

Yep! There are 3 flat head screws which can easily be removed if you need to swap out the hardware. Sometimes they come loose after some wear, so be sure to tighten them occasionally.

Yes, the belt is released by three standard head screws. And this belt is fantastic, i highly recommend it.

No I've never had a problem with the buckle. Had mine for about 3+ years and this year purchased a 2nd one and still no issues. I would contact Diono customer service.

strap has adjustment near the snap part or if i remember correctly on the side. if you look at the unit it's kinda clear but depends on which one you ordered i guess. ours had adjust near the connection that's on the strap

The buckles are just decorative. There are snaps behind them. I pulled the snaps and replaced them with magnetic closures.

you'll have to remove the strap from the plastic length-adjusters. it's not something you would do on frequent basis. so, it's not an easy process.

Has anyone else actually done the modification M. Ferguosn suggested in his posting? Also, what 6 screws? I only see four on the side near the strap lug. Thanks.

I can't answer the question because I the strap is too tight and is not what I expected it to be. I tried it and it is too awkward for me to use. I don't know if I can return it or not.......sorry

It is not permanently attached to the buckle. You can move it from car to car if you want.

Yes, on the straps that look like a buckle, they are snapped into place. When the bag is full it doesn't pull at all on the snaps, because the bag is designed to bulge on the sides and the canvas fabric holds its shape.

No, the strap does not adjust. I don't see a need for the strap to be adjustable.

Yes. There are two adjustments for the strap - it's just like notches on a belt. Be sure that you adjust the strap to your hand size [before you put the case together] so that it fits snugly over the pins, then press the latch doors down tight.

Yes. Take a bolt and put it through the long open slot and put a nut on it and tighten down. Then put the strap on and then another bolt and tighten it. You may use a washer in between if you like. It works great.

That square of leather goes on both sides of the strap to which the buckle is attached. On the back of that square is a snap. My bag has stitching across the top and bottom and down both sides. I see what you are asking about on the pictures; I had never noticed that BUT the stitching on top and bottom must be there for looks because it does't attach anything - it is just sewn through the leather. The stitches down he sides attach the leather front to the leather back where the snap is located. I hope this helps.

The strap is adjustable, and actually can be separated and re-clipped together for smaller dogs. If you look at the photo, you'll see buckles on both sides of the strap. Undo both sets of buckles, then just buckle the two ends back together.

Yes the strap can be removed. I did not realize it before, but I just removed it.

Yes you can, but you will need to buy new rivets from a local fabric store to replace the ones on the loop that hold the buckle on the belt. It will only cost about 2 bucks to do it, plus the cost of the new buckle.

No. It can not be switched. The strap goes up over the right shoulder and crosses the chest.
