Suzanne Keane tries out the hugely anticipated newest member of the Axkid<\/em> family<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s almost 4 years since we first tried out the Axkid Minikid 2. This was my first experience of Axkid and the Minikid has remained my go-to seat since then \u2013 I was distraught when my 5 year old hit the weight limits -so you can imagine my excitement when I heard there was a new and improved Minikid on the way!<\/p>\n

Axkid were founded in Sweden in 2009 \u2013 with its Swedish roots it\u2019s not surprising that their main focus is child safety on the road and the promotion of extended rear facing seats. This new Minikid further extends this goal by allowing children to rear face to a whopping 36kG!!<\/p>\n

The major changes with the new Axkid Minikid 3, apart from the increased weight limit is that the back is now 10cm longer, for taller children, and Axkid claims it can be installed in just 60 seconds \u2013 rivalling ISOFIX seats.<\/p>\n

What age group is it suitable for?<\/strong> The Minikid 3 is suitable for rear facing up to an impressive 36kg and 125cm. To put this in context this is the weight of an average 10 year old and height of an average 8 year old.<\/p>\n

How easy is it to install?<\/strong> Axkid claim that you can install the Minikid 3 in just 60 seconds. This is due to their new and innovate single lock clip \u2013 on the Minikid 2 there was a clip on either side to fasten \u2013 and the self-adjusting tethers.<\/p>\n

Like its predecessor there\u2019s no need for seat adjustments prior to fitting and the headrest and strap height will automatically adjust to suit your child when you tighten the straps.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure about the installation there\u2019s an interactive 3D installation guide you can download through the BILT app which will ensure a safe installation. The Minikid 3 also uses tether straps and a support leg.<\/p>\n
