See how to reverse the seat.


Quick Answer

To reverse the seat on the Mimi Luno stroller:

  • Press the seat release buttons on both sides
  • Lift the seat off the frame
  • Rotate the seat to the desired direction
  • Lower it back onto the frame until it clicks into place

Always check for a click on both sides to confirm the seat is securely attached.


Why This Matters

Your baby’s needs change from reassurance in early months to curiosity as they grow.

Adjusting seat direction allows the stroller to support these stages without switching to different equipment.

As part of a coordinated system, this flexibility is built into everyday use.


Understanding Seat Positions

Parent-Facing Position

This position allows your baby to face you.

  • Often used in earlier months
  • Supports interaction and reassurance
  • Makes it easier to monitor your baby
Forward-Facing Position

This position allows your baby to face outward.

  • Suitable as awareness increases
  • Encourages interaction with surroundings
  • Supports a more upright view

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove the Seat
  • Locate the release buttons on both sides
  • Press both buttons at the same time
  • Lift the seat upward
2. Rotate the Seat
  • Turn the seat to the opposite direction
3. Reattach the Seat
  • Align the seat with the frame
  • Lower it straight down
  • Press until you hear a click on both sides

A click on both sides confirms secure attachment.

4. Check That the Seat Is Secure
  • Gently lift the seat
  • Ensure there is no looseness

For correct setup, see the stroller setup guide.


When to Switch Seat Direction

Development varies, but general guidance includes:

  • Start with parent-facing for earlier stages
  • Switch to forward-facing as control and curiosity increase
  • Follow your baby’s comfort and engagement

For timing guidance, see carry cot to seat transition.


What This Means for You

Important Safety Notes

  • Always check for a click on both sides
  • Do not adjust the seat while your child is seated
  • Keep your child at a safe distance during changes
