How do you get the strap back through the block for use with second child?

I would push something thru the block first and attach the belt to it with duct tape then carefully pull it back thru. You might have to enlarge the slit a little bit but I don't think that would hurt it or keep it from working properly. I didn't have to add one back so it's just a guess. Good luck.

Sorry but i would use it as personal device or u risking yr kids squirt around in one and accident to happen. Its not that expensive and much safer. And to actually answer: dont know, never done it. Sorry

There's a strap peg on the bottom of the body. I just ran a shoelace above the nut and used that to tie on the top of the strap. Works fine.

First, you pull the nylon strap through the plastic piece in an over under type deal. Then you loop it through the buckle piece on the case then you double back the same exact way you came in. If that makes any sense haha. Its tricky and I couldnt get it on my own but I just copied the strap that was on my big boy camera.

You are right....you have to hold the end of the strap that is a very skinny loop. Hold the two sides of that loop together and push the pointy end of the loop into one side of the opening and pull out the other side. (It goes under the little "bridge" that is across the opening.)Then open the skinny loop enough to feed the thicker loop end through it. Pull tight and you are done. Good luck. :-)

I don't generally loosen the straps each time I take him out. It was harder when he was a newborn because I didn't want to hurt him wrestling his limbs out of the harness! But now he is a few months old and actually moves his arm to help me get him out. If I have to tighten the harness while he is in it, I try and figure out how much I need to tighten it before I buckle it since it is really difficult to pull the strap to tighten it while it is buckled.

There is a button at center where the child's legs would be and you can reach thru and feel a ledge and a latch you can release the shoulder straps. Then the black strap coming from the center once again you will pull to tighten the straps once you get your child in.

It is a poor design. You need to pull the strap real tight. Pull it to where the first access hole is available then go one more. You need assistance in doing such. We have a different manufacturer which has a infinite adjustable strap much easier.

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.

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

Works great with one kid. We have a 4 year old and an 18 month old (both in 95th percentile for height), and works well with either or both. Has extra strap in middle for when it's only one child.

I had problems getting the wrist strap 'threaded' into the opening, its a "royal pain" for old hands like mine! But I asked my adult son to help, and he was able to get it threaded through the opening and attached for me. Since he got it attached, I didn't try this, but the narrow point of needle-nose pliers might slide into the opening enough to help you pull the loop through, you then thread the strap through the loop to finish the job. Good luck! I would be leery of opening the the back of the device to get access to the opening. I don't have access to the device right now, I can't say for sure...

Sorry, I gave the one I bought to my 3-year old granddaughter, so I can't remember about the strap. But I do know that she absolutely loved this item, especially since her mother wore one to hold her baby sister. Both always wore it with the baby on the front, so the strap would be in back. I would think that a strap would be advisable if you have a choice.

Gently with a flat screwdriver you will be able to open it. It took me a few minutes to do so, but was never able to attach the strap to it. Good luck!

Hello.First thing you have to check is the direction of the strap in the metal device. You can start by pulling from one side and another to be sure you've the right direction. If you have it right then you can make a small knot to the strap and then it wont pass from the metal device.

Yes. It is difficult if you loosen and tighten each time. To get around that, I don't loosen the straps when I take my child out so I don't have to tighten them each time - the clothing your child is wearing shouldn't affect the strap length much if at all (if the clothing is so bulky you have to loosen the straps, it may create too much give in the event of an accident). Now, I do periodically have to loosen the straps a tiny bit as she grows if it gets just too hard to fasten. But, for me that's easier than ranging that adjustment each time.

I used the buckle once or twice. Approximately 99% of the time my daughter was swaddled and not buckled in. Once she tried sitting up in the rock and play we retired it.

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
