Might seam's silly, but I can't figure out how to strap this snack pouch.
I have been using it to store my 1L water bottle for the past year and wanted to add a second one for my dog's water and treats. The thing is, I've never figured how to properly secure it.
The bottom attachment seams to be to low. Either I place it on the stem base and it folds the pouch, or I place it on the frame which seams problematic on a lot of aspects.
My question is. Am I doing something wrong or is the pouch not adapted to my bike's geometry?

Is that lower strap not adjustable? If not it may just be what it is…
Ideally you’ve got one strap on the bars and one on the headset spacers since all of that stuff will turn together. But it seems like that may not be an option here.
You don’t actually need the bottom strap, all it does is make the load slightly more stable. So you could skip it entirely, or replace it with a smaller strap (like a voile tie or shoelace) that loops onto your stem. OR loop it through the top of your fork.
But you’d be perfectly fine not using a bottom strap at all.
EDIT: also I’m sure it’s not ideal to attach your strap to the frame, but making the loop wider so there is more play would alleviate most of those issues. That’s what I do on my bike and I’ve used my bag for three years (touring and commuting) with no issues.
SECOND EDIT: nicer bags will come with a few loops at different heights for that bottom strap.
Is there webbing for a strap on the bottom? A lot of feed bags strap to the fork crown to stabilise them.
