Aha! Thanks. Now I see my problem-I was trying to put the straps on the chair itself, like the edges of the chair were shoulders. Then I couldn't understand why the shoulder straps kept slipping off the "shoulders" of the ECV.Put the shoulder straps around the head rest (captains chair). Key is to position back pack so it's parallel to the ground (sideways).
I'm sure there are other ways to do it.
Only once did we have a rear basket and we actually called to see if we could exchange it for a sunshade. The basket causes lots of problems, even at shows when they ask you to back in a spot. We have been able o put a soft sided cooler on the back (removing for buses) and a tote bag on the arm rest. I even carry my cane between my legs. The rear basket isn't really necessary.
Which scooter. Not an issue with the GoGo. The rear basket will cause the Victory ecv to exceed size limits. Many bus drivers will let it slide..Some won't. It's not debatable. Don't use the basket unless you're prepared, and able, to remove it.I never had to remove the back basket. I will say that it can be problematic getting on and off the bus however.
Don't the squirrels go after the half eaten thing? We've seen squirrels drag small bags out of strollers and scooter baskets - not sure if leaving half eaten food is a good idea, unless you don't mind squirrel poop on your things?I got a rear basket once and it made the ECV feel like it was double the length. I took it off and it sat in the room until I returned the scooter.
I've put extra things under my legs (like something I bought to take back to the room). It is possible to set a backpack under your legs but not sure I'd drive all day like that. I wear a cross body purse that stays on all the time and put a light backpack in the basket. The basket also holds things I leave in there all day like sunscreen, extra water, etc. I usually set a half eaten thing on top when I park it to hopefully deter anyone who might look through it but there's nothing valuable in there anyway lol.
