\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What is it? <\/strong>Axkid are well known as the heavy hitters when it comes to child seat safety. Founded in Sweden 10 years ago their focus is on child safety and promotion of extended rear facing seats for families. The Axkid Minikid (review here<\/a>) is one of the most popular extended rear facing seats on the market so the all new Axkid Modukid i-Size has high standards to live up to!
\nThe Modukid is the world\u2019s first i-Size seat which automatically adjusts to a child\u2019s length and size and it comes in two pieces, a base that connects to the ISOFIX points in your car and a separate Child Seat that clips easily into place. An Infant Seat is expected later this month and the infant carrier will fit on the same isofix base and 90% of travel systems on the market for ease of use.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the box? <\/strong>The Axkid Modukid Seat and Base are available to buy as a package or separately. The Modukid Base will also fit the Modukid Infant Seat (available in September 2019). Inside the box you\u2019ll find the base, an instruction manual and the adjustable rebound bar. The Axkid Modukid Seat comes almost fully assembled in the box with just the ASIP to attach prior to fitting in the car.<\/p>\n

Fitting? <\/strong>As you\u2019d expect from an i-Size seat the Modukid is extremely easy to fit. You\u2019ll need to attach the adjustable rebound bar to the front of the seat prior to installation. Then, the Modukid Base just clips into the ISOFIX points on your car, with green indicators to show it\u2019s correctly attached. You can then adjust the ISOFIX arms to the required length to give your child additional leg room or to minimise the space the seat takes up in smaller cars. Once the arms are adjusted you will then need to move the rebound bar backwards until it hits the seat of the car and clicks into place. What\u2019s unusual about the Modukid base is the safety beep, until the support leg is correctly in place \u2013 simply extend the support leg until it hits the floor and then click into place. When the beeping stops it\u2019s correctly installed!<\/p>\n

To fit the seat to the base, simply pull the lever on the front of the base until the indicator is red, then slide the rear bar into place (closest to the car seat) and clip the front bar into place. The red indicator will either turn green as this clips in or you may need to push the lever backwards to lock the seat into place. Have a quick look around the seat base to make sure it\u2019s connected properly, and all indicators are green for extra piece of mind!<\/p>\n

Finally, you\u2019ll need to attach the ASIP to the side of the seat \u2013 whichever side is closer to the door \u2013 or if the seat is being installed in the middle seat the ASIP isn\u2019t necessary. Unzip the cover on the side of the seat and apply pressure while sliding the ASIP upwards to get it into place. Once installed the Modukid can be reclined as required and the headrest and strap height will automatically adjust to suit your child when you tighten the straps. To remove the seat from the base release the lever at the front and when the indicator is red the seat will just lift out of place!<\/p>\n
