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 buckleʼs plastic components.
Step 4 – Tighten the straps
[MIDI_045 a + b] To tighten the straps, pull the end of
central pull strap forwards (not up or down).
CAUTION!
Ensure that the belt tension is correct by placing your
fi ngers beneath the shoulder straps and lap belt of the
TAKATA MIDI after tightening them.
Step 5 – Check the side crash pads
WARNING!
[MIDI_041] 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 child's safety in the event of
an accident.
Step 6 – Check the size of the seat
WARNING!
[MIDI_008] Before every use, check that your childʼs
head is fully covered by the side bolsters of the
TAKATA MIDI, 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 MIDI, we recommend switching to the next
seat up, the TAKATA MAXI.
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.
• the buckle and tongues are correctly secured.
• the straps fi t snugly around your child and are not
twisted.
• your childʼs head is fully covered by the side bolsters
of the TAKATA MIDI, all the way to the top.
• the AIRPADS are always positioned correctly in the
inner pockets of the adjustable inner padding.
Removing your child
[MIDI_046 a - d] Before you can lift your child out of
the TAKATA MIDI, you must loosen the straps and
open the buckle. To do this, follow the instructions in
Section 3 – Basic instructions (Loosening the straps
and opening the buckle). You can then lift your child
from the TAKATA MIDI.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Removing the covers
Step 1 – Remove the shoulder straps
[MIDI_047] To remove the covers, you must fi rst
unhook the shoulder straps from the belt connection
section of the pull strap, on the bottom of the TAKATA
MIDI. [MIDI_048] Then pull the shoulder straps
entirely out of the inner padding and shoulder pads.
NOTE!
You cannot pull the shoulder straps out of the inner
padding by only pulling at the shoulder pads.
Step 2 – Open the belt buckle
[MIDI_049] Open the buckle, pull the tongues out,
and lay the shoulder straps out of the way.
Step 3 – Remove the inner padding
[MIDI_050] Remove the inner padding from the back
plate, by fi rst placing it in the highest position. Then
pull the lower pouch on the rear of the padding down
and away from the back plate. Following this, pull the
inner padding up and away from the back plate.
Step 4 – Remove the side crash pads (AIRPADS)
WARNING!
The AIRPADS in the adjustable inner padding are not
washable and must be removed from the adjustable
inner padding before washing.
[MIDI_051] To do this, lie the inner padding down,
with its front side on an even surface. You can then
reach into the back through the opening of the cover.
Remove the AIRPADS in the side wings of the padding,
as shown in the illustration.
