touches the backrest of the passenger seat, and that the
TAKATA MINI is set at the right angle. You can check
this via the sticker affi xed to the side: if the red line is
pointing straight up, the TAKATA MINI is correctly
positioned.
You may think that a slightly less upright position
would be more comfortable, however, this 90-degree
angle has been proven to provide optimum safety. The
angle of your child, whatever the position of the inner
padding or shoulder straps, lies here within what is
known as the comfort zone.
Step 4 – Fasten and tighten the two-point seatbelt
[MINI_037] To properly secure the TAKATA MINI in
the aircraft, ensure that the straps of the two-point
seatbelt run through the two blue lap belt guides on
the side bolsters of the TAKATA MINI. Following
this, fasten and tighten the belt, until the straps lie
tightly against the TAKATA MINI.
