why is there a buckle in the middle?

Lap belts are supposed to go across the top of a child's legs and not across their stomach. It ensures the lap belt sits in place on your child safely.

it attaches to the belt strap on the vehicles seat belt. this eliminates your child sliding through the bottom of their car seat.

It helps keeps the child secure on the seat instead of sliding through. I think it is very useful!!

It attaches to the car's lap belt to prevent the child from "submarining" or sliding under the seatbelt in the event of a sudden stop. It is a very good safety feature. One of the main reasons I purchased this booster seat.

Hi Abigail, I too have this item and there is a whole for the wrist band to attached through in the center crease. The pictures here so where it is supposed to be. If it's not there, then I would think it's a manufacturer defect.

I'm not sure I understand your distinction. This photo is accurate. There are two shoulder straps that lead to a center strap that (at its bottom) attach to two "side" (or waist) straps. The buckle connection is on the right side from that side strap (connected to the center piece that you can see unconnected on the left side of this photo) that hooks onto the right side of the apron.

There seems to be a hard surface on the base of the seat if this is what you mean by "middle of the underside". A mesh like fabric covers the base of the seat. For the price these are an excellent value and are holding up well to our everyday use

Hi. The straps close more like a belt buckle. I have used it many times and no problems at all.

There are two sets of plastic buckles. The upper set sits on the ridge line of my shoulders close to my neck. The lower set of buckles lie on the flat of my upper back toward the inside of my shoulder blades. The upper set are away from my backpack straps and the lower set are under the bp straps. I think the harness straps could be moved/adjusted inward a bit to avoid the bp straps but I havn't found it necessary to do so. The elastic straps are under the buckle and they cushion the buckle completely for me. For me this is a very comfortable harness and it keeps my eagle optic binoculars secure while hiking.

The buckle is metal...not sure what type. I don't think it's aluminum. However if you have your laptop and more than one textbook/notebook, it can become kind of difficult to close. The bag was definitely designed to travel light. Even carrying my laptop charger along makes for a noticeably ugly lump in the side while carrying it :/

The "rug" part of the velcro is on what would be the outside of a "normal" belt. You take the extra that goes through the buckle and "Hook" part of the velcro secures to the rug. So depending on how much excess you have some of the "rug" will be showing. It's the same color of the belt and doesn't look bad at all. I love mine and ordered 2 more.

I am somewhat confused by the question....when you roll the bag down there are two buckles that go across the top of the bag, and then there is a buckle on either side of the bag that snaps down....it looks confusing at first, but package it and roll it down, and you'll understand.....we just used it again on a motorcycle trip this weekend and love it

They actually go both ways...there are snaps on side and buckles on one side so you can shorten or lengthen with buckles as well as open if you want to actually use the buckles and there are snaps on the other end for easy access :)

Not completely The top is sewn on but the bottom has a buckle that can be unfastened

I don't use the center piece but it connects with buckles to a strap that runs around the head rests of the front seats. It seems to me that it would take a lot of punishment.

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.

There is no buckle. This is meant to be used in conjunction with a duty belt. It provides molle attachment points to the belt and offers added comfort. The duty belt runs through the padded cover. There are slits in the padding in the areas where a holster would go. I'm running a safariland ALS holster on the right side and a condor triple pistol mag holder on the left. Dump pouch in the rear. I wear size 32 in the waist and the medium was perfect for me.

It has a metal buckle. The strap is strong and is long enough to encircle the two twin mattresses with some to spare.

I assumed they were just for decoration, but it would be possible to pass a strap or charger cord through them. They wouldn't accommodate a buckle or plug.

It's difficult to explain the buckles, but the piece on the strap that goes around the tummy side slides thru the piece that is attached to the side of the harness on the back of the dog. It does so in a perpendicular fashion. Once it's thru the larger piece the two pieces flatten out together. The tension on the harness as it goes around the dog holds the buckle shut. It is made of metal and is nothing at all like those plastic things that snap together. There is a buckle on each side so you can unfasten it from either side. You could unfasten both, I suppose, but I just undo one of them and slide the leg out on the other side. Hope that is some help.
