The Mimi Luno travel system allows you to move your baby from car to stroller with minimal disruption using the infant car seat and dedicated adapters.
See how to attach the car seat.
Note: The video demonstrates one installation method. For best results, Mimi recommends attaching the adapters to the car seat first to help ensure correct left/right positioning and reduce the risk of adapter socket damage caused by incorrect alignment.
Quick Answer
To attach the car seat to the Mimi Luno stroller:
- Insert the adapters into the car seat
- Align the car seat with the stroller frame
- Lower it vertically onto the frame until it clicks into place
- Check that all locking points are fully engaged before use
A click on both sides confirms the car seat is correctly locked into position.
Why This Matters
Moving your baby between car and stroller can interrupt sleep and routines.
A coordinated system allows you to transfer your baby without removing them from the seat, making outings more predictable.
Because the components are designed to work together, each transition follows the same simple process.
The Mimi Luno car seat includes the Mimi SideProtect System, which must be correctly positioned when used in a vehicle.
Before You Start
- Ensure you have the correct adapters for your system
- Identify the left and right adapters before installation
- Confirm both adapters are securely fitted
- Ensure all stroller locking mechanisms are engaged before use
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Identify the Adapters
- Adapters are marked L (Left) and R (Right)
- Ensure the markings are visible before installation
2. Recommended Adapter Installation Method
- Align each adapter with the correct socket on the car seat
- Push downward until you hear and feel a click
- Confirm both adapters are fully seated and secure
For best results, Mimi recommends attaching the adapters to the car seat first. This helps ensure the correct left/right positioning and reduces the risk of incorrect installation or adapter socket damage.
Important Installation Rules
- Use the infant car seat in a parent-facing position only
- Lower the car seat vertically onto the stroller frame
- Ensure both sides click securely into position
- Stop immediately if alignment does not feel correct
Do NOT:
- Force adapters into position
- Install adapters at an angle
- Attempt to rotate or reverse the car seat during installation
- Install the infant car seat world-facing
Improper force or misalignment may damage the adapter socket.
Damage caused by incorrect installation is not covered by warranty.
3. Position the Car Seat
- Hold the car seat above the stroller frame
- Ensure the car seat is parent-facing only
- Align the adapters with the stroller attachment points
4. Attach the Car Seat
- Lower the car seat vertically onto the stroller frame
- Press down firmly until both sides click securely into place
A click on both sides confirms correct engagement.
5. Check That It Is Secure
- Gently lift the car seat upward without pressing release buttons
- Confirm it remains locked on both sides
- Ensure there is no movement or wobble
Removing the Car Seat
- Press both adapter release buttons simultaneously
- Lift the car seat straight upward
