Safer Journeys for Longer: Meet the Axkid Minikid Family

Helping children travel rear-facing up to approximately seven years old

When it comes to protecting little passengers, the direction they face can make a significant difference. Rear-facing travel can be up to five times safer than forward-facing travel, providing greater protection for a child’s vulnerable head, neck and spine in the event of a frontal collision.

Created to help families continue rear-facing travel for longer, the Axkid Minikid Family brings together three extended rear-facing car seats designed to support children as they grow. From a newborn’s first journey through to the school years, the Minikid Core, Minikid 4 Pro and Minikid 4 Max combine advanced safety, practical installation and adaptable comfort, enabling children to remain rear-facing up to approximately seven years old.

Each model has passed the rigorous Swedish Plus Test and offers different features to suit a family’s child, vehicle and everyday routine.

Axkid Minikid Core

RRP £350

Suitable from birth to 7 years | 40–125cm | Up to 28kg

Offering rear-facing protection from day one, the Axkid Minikid Core combines proven safety with everyday practicality. Its simplified seat-belt installation uses SafeLock™ technology and requires no tether straps, making it particularly convenient for families who need to move the seat between vehicles.

Its compact design is suitable for a wide range of vehicles and can fit three seats across in most cars. An adjustable anti-rebound bar offers four positions for stability and additional legroom, while an eight-position headrest, adaptable newborn insert and two recline positions help create a comfortable fit as children grow. Soft, washable fabrics make it practical for everyday family life.

Axkid Minikid 4 Pro

RRP £395

Suitable from approximately 6 months to 7 years | 61–125cm | Up to 36kg

Designed to provide extended rear-facing protection for children weighing up to 36kg, the Axkid Minikid 4 Pro combines long-lasting safety with an impressively compact footprint. Its integrated SafeLock™ system keeps the vehicle seat belt securely in place, while a straightforward six-step guide supports a quick and secure installation.

The slim CompactFit™ design takes up 15cm less space than comparable rear-facing seats and can make fitting three seats in a row possible. Despite its compact size, it provides up to 30cm of legroom. Thirteen adjustable headrest positions, an extended back length, breathable fabrics and a two-step recline provide lasting comfort for growing passengers.

Axkid Minikid 4 Max

RRP £465

Suitable from approximately 6 months to 7 years | 61–125cm | Up to 36kg

Combining advanced rear-facing protection with greater everyday convenience, the Axkid Minikid 4 Max can be installed in less than 60 seconds using its clear six-step process, auto-retracting tether straps and integrated SafeLock™ belt-locking system.

A magnetic harness holds the straps out of the way when placing a child into the seat, while an adaptable three-part inlay provides personalised support as they grow. Its CompactFit™ design occupies 15cm less space than comparable rear-facing seats while still offering up to 30cm of legroom. With 13 headrest positions, a three-step recline and soft, breathable fabrics, it is designed to keep children comfortable on journeys long and short.

By enabling children to remain rear-facing up to approximately seven years old, the Axkid Minikid Family helps parents benefit from the increased protection of rear-facing travel for longer. With three models offering different levels of functionality and convenience, families can choose the option that best suits their child, vehicle and lifestyle without compromising on safety.
