M\u00e9abh Keane O\u2019Regan gives the new car seat the seal of approval!<\/p><\/div>\n

Suzanne Keane’s newest arrival M\u00e9abh test drives\u00a0 the new Axkid Modukid Child Seat<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/strong> A few months ago we tested out The Modukid child seat<\/a> – the world\u2019s first i-Size seat which automatically adjusts to a child\u2019s length and size \u2013 and recently we\u2019ve been trying out the Modukid Infant Seat that also slots into the same base or can be installed independently.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the box?<\/strong> The Axkid Modukid Child Seat, Infant Seat and Base are available to buy as a package or separately. The Infant Seat comes with attached ASIPs (on both sides), a newborn insert and wedge. Inside the box for the base you\u2019ll find the base, an instruction manual and the adjustable rebound bar.<\/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 base 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 minimise the space the base takes up in smaller cars.<\/p>\n

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!
\nThe infant seat simply clicks into the base and displays a green indicator.<\/p>\n

To release the seat there is a handle at the front of the base and it can then be removed from the car. The Modukid Infant Seat will also fit on strollers and travel systems that use Maxi Cosi adapters.
\nThe Infant seat can be fitted using just the cars seatbelt if required. Pass the belt through the blue guides and tighten until the seat is fixed in place along the belt path.<\/p>\n

Finally, you\u2019ll need to open out the ASIP (side protection) to the side of the seat \u2013 whichever side is closer to the door. This ASIP can be pushed back into place when the seat is out of the car.<\/p>\n

Daily use?<\/strong> The Modukid Infant seat is the lightest on the market at 3.7kg. Our test seat arrived when baby was just a few weeks old and it slotted straight into the Modukid base in my own car with ease and also into my Maxi Cosi stroller. When it\u2019s not being used the Modukid base is really easy to store as the support leg folds up into the base.
\nThe seat can also be installed using a seat belt. If you\u2019re used to belting in infant seats the belt guides may seem a little bit more awkward to use but once the belt is in place it feels more secure and the belt certainly couldn\u2019t be knocked out of place.
\nWe used the full newborn insert up to 3 months and then removed just the wedge \u2013 the newborn padding is unusual in comparison to other infant seats I\u2019ve used in that it also provides cushioning for hips and legs. Axkid say that this padding is just for comfort and can be removed whenever the baby needs the space which will vary depending on the child. Conveniently the shoulder pads are attached to the straps and won\u2019t keep falling off as with other infant seats we\u2019ve tried!<\/p>\n
