Anyone have any tips to keep the should belt from tangling when used with the seatbelt? I'm at my wits end with it tangling every time it retracts.

I just tightened the straps that go around the head rests. They are the ones that you have to wiggle both the straps in the center of the buckle like thingy and loosen the straps as they go through it. Then you move the top strap one way and the bottom one the other way which makes the buckle thingy move more toward the end of the strap and the whole strap is shorter. It is hard to describe but easy to do once you get the hang of it.

I have there unit with the belt loop. I bought this one because I wanted a very positive attachment to my belt that could not slip or fail. I find this has worked great for me thus far. While I cannot remove the holster when getting in the car, it slides easily forward on my belt making it comfortable to sit/drive and not have to fumble and reattach my holster every time I get in or out of there car. If I really do need to detach the holster, it takes about 30 seconds to slip my belt out of one loop, remove the holster and re-cinch my belt... not a big deal at all.

The belt tends to slide around and the pouches end up moving a great deal more than they should. I don't know what exact trouble you may be referring to, but that seems to be the only problem with the belt that I have had. I have thought about riveting the pouches to the belt to keep them in place.

Mine also wiggled but I went back to it the next day, and got it really tight. I think the adjuster helps. It's worth the $10. Another option is taking it to a car seat inspection. They will get it tight for you. I'd gotten mine so tight that the inspector left it alone, saying I installed it perfectly!

The only problem I have had is the same as others when it does not fully retract. I resolve this by doing what they did, and that is to pull it out further and then retract it again. I have never had a problem of not retracting at all, and have had ours for about 3 years.

With both of the belts I've bought I've had to wet the contacts and also clip and unclip both sides of the belt a couple of times. Then it'll start recognizing the heart rate monitor. Not sure why it does this but it does. But afterwards it works just fine all the time.

I'm not sure how you were planning to use it, but if you put anywhere near the retractor, it would indeed prevent the belt from retracting. Once you clip it anywhere on the belt, it acts like a block, it won't slide either way by itself (though you can easily slide it with your hand), the sliding buckle won't go through it, and the belt won't retract past it. I use it specifically to block the sliding buckle in a particular position on a racing belt, and it works great for that.

I had the same problem when I first got mine. You just have to pull pretty hard on the loop (purse handle), and then unwind it. It loosens up after a few uses. Hope that helps.

I do, I pull the seat belt up and through the bottom strap. I have 2 little dogs and 2 seats, one on each side of the back seat and I leave the arm rest down. it is very secure this way for my guys:) the regular harnesses they already had didn't work, I bought new ones specific 2 the car and we love those best, now use for our regular walks too:)

Did you find a solution? I'm having that same problem now, with a new belt! Not sure what to do now...

I have had the same problem with the main belt falling off. It appears that the large and small pulleys are not lined up forcing the belt to ride on the edge of the large pulley nearest the blades. There seems to be no way to align the pulleys. Next stop is the dealer.

Slide the pulling side back through the seat so you're pulling from the side opposite the slide lock. Also, rocking while pulling helps a lot. If that still doesn't work, tighten it a little more before you clip it to the D-ring.

I got it at amazon one side works with the seat belt . The Other side clicks on harness. This is really nice. I have to try it again , it was too big for my dog, she would get out of it. Amazon also sold a strap that goes in seat belt then connects to her collar. That works the best for us.I also got a smaller bed that she sits in. So if you have a dog under 8 pounds don't do it. This harness can be adjusted.

It's me again...I read the reply from the other person. The directions suggest that you buy a spray can of lubricant to use on the underside of the belt periodically (silicon, I think). The information is in the owner's manual. I think this would have solved the other person's noise problem.

In my car I just tuck the hook under the seat as best as I can. What I found is that the hook will catch very slightly to stop the cover from being completely removed from the seat when my larger dog moves around. In my husband's truck, there are actual anchors installed on the seats (which I assume are there to secure cargo) so we use those to keep the cover in place when we are in his truck. I have found between the seat headrest straps and the elastic straps, the cover stays in place very well without the need for additional anchoring although it is nice to have the additional ability to secure the cover in the truck.
