Does anyone know how to secure the straps around the "shoulders" of the seat?(when you don't have headrests?)

I don't know about the straps but I LOVE this seat cover. We have a GMC truck and the fit is perfect for the back bench. I am sure the straps will work great. This is a quality cover. Good luck.

Not with the included items, but I'm sure you could buy some sticky velcro and fasten it that way. It only comes with a velcro strip that you wrap around a headrest.

I don't think so if there are no headrests... It has to have something to go around to attach to.

There are straps on the top of the item and at the bottom. The ones over the top will slip over/behind the headrest, and you pretty much have to tie the bottoms underneath the seat. I have owned this particular item since May ... I originally bought it as a liner for my seat because I go to the gym a lot and sweat. For the first few months it was all right, but the straps with end up stretching and you have to adjust the thing each time you sit down.

I don't think it would work without headrests. I can't think of any way to hold up the back without them.

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.

Is there head rest? There needs to be something to hook it around. Otherwise, I guess you could get Velcro tape and stick it to your seat.

The top straps go around the head rests. Turn in the direction you want the pocket to face. The bottom straps fit around the seat if you fold the seat forward and then slip the strap around and pull it tight. I took photos to demonstrate, but can't post them here apparently. I don't know about folding it up either. I just leave it there all the time.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

the headrest can be moved up with out uninstalling & belts can be adjusted for tightness but if you need to move the straps to a different shoulder level have to be able to get into the back of seat - same as with britax or graco -- all i do is release the safety anchor & undo one belt in less then 5 inutes my strap is adjusted & my seat is back in place

Our unit did not come with straps and it doesn't say anything about mounting to a headrest. Mine is probably a different model than the others have here. You can plug it into your cigarette lighter or some other adapter and watch it on your lap. Hope this answers your question. Again, the model we have is probably different that the other people who have answered this. Cathy

I use the back seats to strap it too.. but the backs of the "backseats fold down".

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

yes it is frustrating. i pull the straps as tight as i can and then pull down on the strap that tightens it. it feels like it is off the track or something. it is my biggest complaint about this seat as i feel i can't get the straps as tight as they should be.

there are actually two straps that go around the headrest. The smaller one supports the weight of the back (grey "backboard" in the picture) and the second, longer one, goes from the front of the seat to the headrest. This second one is extra long and adjustable. Both simple loop over the headrest. I feel the carseat is very stable-I've never had it slip around or move. This speaks well for the quality, because my puppy is very active in the car:)

Yea, i was considering making some kind of armrest/heat shield there. Might help to use the shoulder strap, but i hate using them.

I used the plastic pieces on the elastic between the seat and the back....Just slide the elastic onto the plastic and tuck them in. It stops the cushions from moving. The metal piece goes on the elastic loop to attach under the seat. It pulled apart and you slide the elastic in. Attach to seat frame underneath. You then snap the headrest straps in. I did not use the elastic for around the seat since I have air bags. Fits perfectly and does not move.
