Axkid Minikid Car Seat

Axkid Minikid Car Seat

from newborn to approximately 6 years old (125cm and 0-25kg)

What’s great about the Axkid Minikid is that there’s no need to adjust the harness height prior to installation. The headrest and harness will automatically adjust when the straps are tightened to suit the height of the child.

What about daily use? What’s great about the Axkid Minikid is how easy it is to use as an everyday seat. Of all the seats I have tested the strap tightening mechanism is the smoothest and while you tighten the straps you’ll also adjust the headrest and strap height to the optimum position – there is a lock switch at the top of the headrest so don’t be alarmed if the headrest height isn’t adjusting correctly when you take the seat out of the box first!

And safety?  The Axkid Minikid has passed the Swedish Plus Test which is one of the most rigorous tests that a child seat can undergo. It is also ECE R44/04 approved.

What about value for money? The Minikid is competively priced, by comparison the Diono Radian 5 is €399, Concord Reverso Plus is €459. The cheapest extended rear facing seat is the really basic Britax TWE which is around the €200 mark usually. You’ve to consider that these seats will do from newborn until an average of 6 years old.

Where can I buy one? Tony Kealys, Mothercare, In Car Safety and rearfacing.ie all stock the Minikid.

Why you’ll want one?
Swedish Plus Tested, automatically adjusting headrest, harness and tether straps, suitable

Why you won’t
It’s quite a bulky seat and the support leg makes it awkward to carry around.
