Ensure that the cushion behind the buckle has not
slipped out of place, so that it no longer protects your
child against the buckleʼs plastic components.
Step 4 – Tighten the straps
[MINI_027] To tighten the straps, pull the end of
central pull strap forwards (not up or down).
CAUTION!
You can ensure that the belt tension is correct if
only one fi nger fi ts beneath the shoulder straps of the
TAKATA MIDI after tightening them.
Step 5 – Check the side crash pads (AIRPADS)
WARNING!
[MINI_045] Always ensure that the AIRPADS are
positioned correctly in the inner pockets of the adjustable
inner padding. Failure to observe this notice may
seriously risk your childʼs safety in the event of an accident.

Step 6 – Check the size of the seat
WARNING!
[MINI_046] Before every use, check that your childʼs
head is fully covered by the side bolsters of the
TAKATA MINI, all the way to the top. If the head is
not fully protected, your child is at greater risk in an
accident. Once your child becomes too tall for the
TAKATA MINI, we recommend switching to the next
seat up, the TAKATA MIDI with the TAKATA
ISOFIX BASE.
Checklist – securing your child:
Please ensure that:
• The height of the inner padding and shoulder straps
are adjusted to your child (as described in these
instructions).
• The lap belt does not run over your childʼs stomach.
