How do the buckles connect? Are they the type you just push one side into the other and it snaps (plastic), like some backpacks? Is it easy on & off?

Hard to explain, easy to do. The one half slips through the other. Has been very secure with my big wiggly strong dog.

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.

These buckles are not like the conventional "snap together" types (plastic). These buckles are metal and you would have to fasten them by passing one end through the 'eye" of the other metal piece. Trust me... this is a very awesome harness. It will take you a few times to get the hang of putting it on and taking it off, but it will become second nature. Get it... you will not be disappointed.

The one I purchased is Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Harness 3055 Series. The buckles are all steel nesting buckles (slide in to slot and don't snap). No plastic. Easy once you get used to it; our 5 month old Golden just grew into the second size up so we've been pleased with both.

Hi William. I own one of these. It attaches with 3 straps - two are elastic and one (at the top) is elastic with Velcro. Basically you open up the compartment, slip the bag on the compartment cover, sliding it from the bottom. Then the strap attached to the top of the bag feeds down and attaches to one of the elastic ones with Velcro to keep the bag from sliding down. Works great.

It's a plastic half circle buckle that you have to thread the nylon strap through and then back out. My 2 year old can't do it, but hasn't really cared. The seat is pretty deep and she can have multiple dolls in it at a time without them falling out.

It's a buckle style wide belted strap. I actually take the strap provided off and buy my own strap system to attach to my bivy backpack. If the strap provided doesn't work I'm sure you could use your own belt or something like that. I am extremely satisfied with everything about the product otherwise

The snaps are strong and I took off the buckles Which are attached with a snap anyway the buckle just may give you more space? Not very practical and added weight.

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

It attaches in two places. 1) to the shoulder strap via wrap around velcro and 2) through the "load lifter" buckle at the top of the shoulder. The former keeps it in place and the latter keeps if from pulling down on the strap of the backpack.

It is not a buckle. One end slides into the other end until it clicks. To undo, you have to squeeze each side of it. It's typical of many dog collars. If you do a search in amazon for "Sassy Dog Wear Adjustable Dog Collar", that one shows the fastener part really well. It's like that.

There are two plastic loops on the back that allow it to be worn on a narrow and thin belt or strap. I keep mine strapped to my pack pack while duck hunting in this fashion and have had no problems with it falling off.

These are snap buckles there are 2 one on each side of the fabric middle part. You do not need to take the cover off to adjust the straps its pretty easy

Some people have said that the snaps will pop open, I have cut a slot between the two snaps as wide as a belt loop, the snaps go on either side of the belt loop. I have not had any problem with it opening up and it doesn't slide around on your belt. And I wear it everyday.

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 snaps on the bag are easy to open, but not so easy to close. However, there's a zip closing the compartment that you would put the camera in and a drawstring closing the top where you could put loose things, so you won't loose anything as you travel. Though because of this design it's hard to quickly pack and take out your camera.

All the straps click on and off easily. There are two metal circles on either side, above the insulated pockets, that are "supposed" to be the clips for the messger strap and for the stroller clips. The stroller clips are sold seperately for $25 MSRP. I use carabiner clips- one hooked onto each metal circle, then I have those swivel hook things on my stroller to attach them to. A much cheaper solution.

It's very easy just unsnap the buckles, spread it open and connect the bars on both sides that are inside at the top. took 5 minutes.

The version I purchased in March of 2015 is adjustable with the included white plastic buckle that came loose in the bag. Place the buckle convex side up on top the upper half of the 2-inch strap. Fold the strap and thread some of the folded strap into the under-side (concave side) and over the center of the buckle, out around the upper outer edge of the buckle (the edge you have near the metal grommet and cinch cord), and then down through the inside again. This allows you to shorten the length of the strap so the bag does not hit you low in the legs and impede walking.

The snaps are surprisingly rigid. As long as you have them completey closed they will remain closed. I have used this bag for over a year now and have never had any issues.
