I can see why that seat slips now...4 straps and 4 contact points, where as my seat has 4 straps and 8 contact points...get yourself a better seat, it will be tight as and wont slip.
this is my seat , Ive photoshopped the straps in blue...see how the back straps go from the top to the base...stops it sliding forward.

Re: Tested the new beast
Got a new seat delivered the cheaper of the 2 kads posted up (can get the other one locally so thought I would give the other one a go first) it was defiantly better but I managed to break one of the plastic clips, what I'm thinking is getting it where I like it and sewing the straps up so they can't move, anyone done this? I was damn comfortable till it broke the clip and sent me slightly sideways so thinking it might be the best option.
Cheers for the links to kads, I'm getting far more confidence in the yak with a few more adjustments and a couple of DIY projects from here and she will be ready for some real fishing
