For those that asked about carrying a back pack and the stand at the same time. I have a Viper X4 w/ the footrest. I feed the seat through the foot slats... then pull it to the edge of the foot platform.. I place my backpack between the seat back pad and the foot slats.. I then take the seat bungies up and over and hook them to the foot slats. This holds my backpack very securely and I haven't had an issue w/ it at all. I do fold my footrest up out of the way 1st.. then after the backpack is in place.. I fold the footrest back down over the backpack.
