Tip 1
CORRECT SITTING POSITION
If you are not able to lift your child fully into the seat at first try, use the child’s legs to push it properly into the seat. Immeditaly fasten and tighten waist belt. Check with mirror that the child is sitting properly into the seat, displaying a curved setback.
Tip 2
ADJUSTMENT FOR WOMEN
If the carrier is still not comfortable over the chest area after adjusting the straps, then release the chest strap. The two side straps MUST remain connected and tight.
Tip 3
ADJUSTMENT FOR ALL
Use some time to adjust all straps so the carrier fully suits your body. If the MiniMeis is tilting a bit backwards, loosen the chest strap and tighten the side straps.
HOW TO FOLD / STORE MINIMEIS
- Grab the strap marked “FOLD” with one hand.
- Use your other hand to pull top of the frame. The back support section will slide out of the lower section.
- Fold the back support section down.
