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_PLUS_052 a + b] To tighten the straps,

lap belt of the MIDI I-SIZE PLUS after tightening them.

WARNING!
[MIDI_I-SIZE_PLUS_048 a + b] Always ensure that
Step 6 – Check the size of the seat
WARNING!
[MIDI_I-SIZE_PLUS_008] Check that the top of
your child's head is lower than the top edge of the
adjustable inner padding of the MIDI I-SIZE PLUS. 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 MAXI.
Checklist – securing your child:
Please ensure that:
• the height of the adjustable inner padding with the
AIRPADS is adjusted to your child (as described in these
instructions).
• the lap belt does not run over your child's stomach.
• the buckle and tongues are correctly secured.
•
• the top of your child's head is lower than the top
edge of the adjustable inner padding of the
MIDI I-SIZE PLUS.
