Learn how to quickly change the Pearly Pup, Black Aviator, or Luxe Velvet Bag Strap on your Cocopup dog walking bag. Master the clip system and avoid common mistakes.
Quick answer
All Cocopup bag straps use the same 4cm-wide clip system, so swapping between the Pearly Pup, Black Aviator, and Luxe Velvet Coral Core takes under a minute. Just release the side clips, slide the old strap out, and feed the new one through.
Why swap straps at all?
Each strap changes the mood of your dog walking bag. The Pearly Pup adds a floral pink-and-white look for spring walks, the Black Aviator brings a sleek, cool vibe for city streets, and the Luxe Velvet Coral Core pops with bright orange for beach days. Because they all attach the same way, you can match your bag to your outfit or the weather without owning multiple bags.
What you need to know before starting
Every Cocopup strap is 4cm (1.57”) wide and adjusts from about 80 cm to 135 cm. The clip mechanism is identical across all models, so there is no risk of using the wrong hardware. The only thing to watch is the orientation of the strap—the fabric should lie flat and not twist when you reattach it.
Step-by-step: Swapping a Cocopup bag strap
- 1. Release the side clips: Unclip both metal or plastic side clips from the D-rings on your dog walking bag. Keep the clips attached to the strap—do not remove them entirely. Common mistake: pulling the strap off without unclipping first can bend the D-rings.
- 2. Slide the strap off the bag: Once the clips are free, slide the strap out of the bag's side loops or channels. If your bag has a fixed centre loop, you may need to feed the strap through rather than pull it straight out. Checkpoint: note which side of the strap faces up so you can reattach it the same way.
- 3. Attach the new strap: Take your chosen strap (Pearly Pup, Black Aviator, or Luxe Velvet) and feed one end through the bag's loops. Clip the side clips onto the D-rings. Ensure the strap lies flat and is not twisted. Common mistake: twisting the strap when feeding it through loops causes the bag to hang unevenly.
- 4. Adjust the length: Pull the adjustment slider to set the strap to your preferred length—anywhere from ~80 cm to 135 cm. Test the fit by wearing the bag and tweak as needed. Checkpoint: if the bag hangs too low or too high, readjust the slider before your walk.
