Put a paper clip in the part that unzips it and it works really well. Just remove before your kids play with it

Buy some slim nylon string at a local craft store, cut to desired length, ( don't forget to burn ends to keep from unraveling) thread through zipper hole. Knot the ends together & done. I do this all the time zipper pulls are never ment to last from manufacture, no matter who you buy from.

It should open easily by just pulling it out.. That part does not have a lock so you're right.Try to pull it a bit hard but not too hard.. it tends to get stuck a bit sometimes.. but if it still does not open, contact the seller it might be defective.

Never used the tieback - sorry I think there may be a slit in the fabric to pull through?

We had the same problem. It took about five tries to get the zipper working. Now we don't dare take it apart.

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.

You have to pull the zipper either up or down. Velcro pulls apart. It is held together by rtidges n the material.

Weird way or wording the question but....lying inside, on your back, the zipper is on the right. There is a zipper pull on the inside, as well, for you to open it when lying in it

I'd say you are very shrewd to ask this....I love the product and own two, but yes, the weakest link in this product is the zipper. I would recommend being careful with the zipper and not pulling too hard on it, otherwise it is a great product. When the zipper went kaput on my first one of these, we were able to take the cloth part to a seamstress who rezippered it for us, so there is a fix.

Ah... :)You take a screwdriver that fits the screw and unscrew it as you would usually do (anti-clockwise).After a couple of turns it seems like the screw no longer holds the cover (the lid got a bit separated from the body), but it still won't come off, does it? :)Well, at this point you need to insert something thin (your fingernail?) in the crack between the cover and the body and just pull.Try pulling not from the center, but a bit closer to one of the edges - the cover latches to the body near the edges...

I recommend using some other type of zipper pull. I made mine out of micro paracord-I found the how-to on you tube. Ordered the paracord on Amazon. The best thing about this method is that the pulls are easy to grip. Leather looks cool, but not a good long term solution.

This is definitely a problem for ours. On one side, the front zipper catches the internal flap. We just stopped using that zipper and zip from the other side. It was too frustrating to keep fixing.

I will forward to my friend as I gave this as a gift. She is at work now and is almost positive there is a zipper, but will check and get back to us in the next few hours.

The one that I have has one zipper pull for the top and 2 zipped doors on the side. Hope this helps.

yeah, a little tricky. There's a small tab to the left, just move it out a little and the compartment will open up. Others have had the same problem.

i'm having trouble opening it as well. Please let me know how you end up opening it. Thanks!

There were at least three types. The first had no side opening, you just pulled it on like a big sock. But there are also "handed" ones, right or left zipper opening. Ordering from the company, you can pick left or right opening ones. I think if it says just "liner" it is no zipper, just slide into it.
