Axkid Minikid 4 Max Car Seat – FAQs
The Axkid Minikid 4 Max is designed to keep your child rear-facing from birth (or when they can sit unaided at approximately 6 months) up to 7 years old, accommodating children from 61cm to 125cm in height. This extended rear-facing car seat supports weights up to 36kg, making it one of the longest-lasting rear-facing solutions available. The generous size range means your child can remain in the safest travel position for longer, with most children comfortably rear-facing until they're ready for a high-back booster seat. The adjustable headrest features 13 manual adjustment positions to grow with your child, whilst the deep, ergonomic seat ensures comfort throughout their extended rear-facing journey. If you're looking for maximum rear-facing longevity, the Minikid 4 Max offers exceptional value as a single car seat that can last for years.
The Axkid Minikid 4 Max installs using your vehicle's seatbelt with an additional support leg for enhanced stability and features auto-retracting lower tether straps for secure attachment. This installation method means the seat is compatible with most vehicles, making it an excellent choice for families. The support leg adjusts to different floor heights and provides crucial anti-rotation protection, significantly reducing forward movement in a collision. Installation is straightforward thanks to the 6-step guide system that allows fitting in under 60 seconds, with clear belt routing and an integrated belt locking system that keeps the vehicle belt in the correct position. The auto-retracting tethers make installation both stable and secure whilst reducing the risk of incorrect fitting. The seat features Axkid's unique safety engineering which absorbs and distributes crash forces away from your child. Many parents find the Minikid 4 Max easier to move between vehicles, offering greater versatility for families who need installation flexibility.
The Axkid Minikid 4 Max stands out through its combination of extended height limit (125cm), Swedish Plus Test approval, and premium comfort features. Unlike many extended rear-facing seats, the Minikid 4 Max offers exceptional legroom (up to 30cm) and a 3-step recline position, ensuring even tall children can rear-face comfortably for longer. The seat's unique selling point is its longevity—with the ability to accommodate children up to 36kg and 125cm (approximately 7 years old) rear-facing, it eliminates the need for an interim car seat purchase. The Minikid 4 Max has been crash-tested beyond regular standards and passed the Swedish Plus Test, one of the toughest crash tests in the world. The seat also includes thoughtful design elements like machine-washable covers in five Swedish nature-inspired colours, magnetic harness holders for easier access, and a CompactFit™ design that allows three seats to fit across the rear whilst taking up 15cm less space than many similar rear-facing seats. Built on over 15 years of research and development from the original Minikid model, the Minikid 4 Max gives parents confidence in its exceptional safety credentials.
