the straps.
CAUTION!
[MIDI_I-SIZE_048] Check that the inner padding and
shoulder strap connection are correctly positioned.
The wings of the inner padding with the AIRPADS
protect the head, and should therefore be positioned
behind your child's head, and above the shoulders.
The shoulder strap connections are correctly
positioned for the:

[MIDI_I-SIZE_049] TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE in a
backward-facing position if they are a little
below your child's shoulders. If this is not the
case, move the adjustable inner padding up or
down accordingly.

[MIDI_I-SIZE_050] TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE in a
forward-facing position if they are a little above
your child's shoulders. If this is not the case,
move the adjustable inner padding up or down
accordingly.

them click into place.
WARNING!
Before every journey, always ensure that the tongues
and buckle are locked together. You can check this by
pulling the tongues up, without pressing the red button
on the buckle.
Step 3 – Adjust the lap belt
WARNING!
Pull the lap belt down as far as possible, so that the lap
area of your child is protected. If the lap belt runs
across your child's stomach, there is a risk of internal
injuries in the event of an accident.
Ensure that the cushion behind the buckle has not
slipped out of place, so that it no longer protects your
child against the buckle's plastic components.
Step 4 – Tighten the straps
[MIDI_I-SIZE_052 a + b] To tighten the straps, pull
the end of the central pull strap forward (not up or
down, and not to the side).

straps and the lap belt of the TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE
after tightening them.
Step 5 – Check the side crash pads
WARNING!
[MIDI_I-SIZE_048] Always ensure that the AIRPADS
are positioned correctly in the inner pockets of the
adjustable inner padding and in the space provided in
the lateral crash pads under the basic cushion. Failure
to observe this notice may seriously risk your child's
safety in the event of an accident.
Step 6 – Check the size of the seat
WARNING!
[MIDI_I-SIZE_008] Check that the top of your child's
head is lower than the top edge of the adjustable inner
padding of the TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE. If the headrest
is too low, there is a greater risk of injury in the case
of an accident. As soon as the top of your child's head
reaches or exceeds the top edge of the adjustable inner
padding, when the inner padding is at its highest point,
you should switch to the next size of child seats, e.g.
the TAKATA MAXI.
