Axkid has long been a trusted name in child car seat safety, and with the refreshed & renewed Minikid 4 range, they’re taking rear-facing protection to the next level. Designed with enhanced safety features, improved comfort, and a sleek new look, the Minikid 4 stays true to Axkid’s mission—keeping children safe on the road for longer.

From updated materials to a more user friendly design, the new Minikid 4 Max & Pro are built for real life convenience without compromising on safety. Whether you’re already an Axkid fan or new to extended rear facing car seats, this refreshed collection brings a fresh take on one of the most popular Plus Tested car seats in child car safety.

In this blog, we’ll dive into what’s new, what’s improved, and why the Axkid Minikid 4 remains a top choice for parents prioritising safety and comfort.

Here’s a breakdown of the differences between the Axkid Minikid 4 Max and Axkid Minikid 4 Pro in terms of safety, comfort, and innovation:

Minikid 4 Max

At Baby & Co, we were really impressed with the Minikid 4 Max. It has a premium feel, with incredibly soft fabric and stylish color options—our favorite being Glacier Lake Blue!

What really sets it apart from the Minikid 4 are the new features, like the magnetic harness straps that make it much easier to get your child in and out of the seat, even if they're wriggling. The manually adjustable headrest is another great addition, so it stays in place rather than moving every time you take your child in and out. We also love the improved tether tension, which now has double the clicks for a more secure fit in your vehicle, win win!

If you loved the Minikid 4, get ready to meet its upgraded version—the Axkid Minikid 4 Max. Designed with enhanced safety features and innovative technology, this car seat is built to provide exceptional protection and ultimate comfort for your little one.

Unmatched Safety Standards

The Axkid Minikid 4 Max takes safety to the next level. Having passed the rigorous Swedish Plus Test and undergone extensive overtesting, it provides protection for children up to 125cm or 36kg. The seat also features ASIP (Advanced Side Impact Protection), offering extra security in case of a side collision. To further ensure a secure installation, the SafeLock™ Integrated Belt Locking System keeps the seat securely in place at all times.

Comfort Without Compromise

Just because safety is a priority doesn’t mean comfort has to take a backseat. The Minikid 4 Max is made with soft, breathable, and washable fabrics, crafted from recycled materials for a sustainable touch. It also offers a 3-step recline function and an impressive 30cm of legroom, ensuring a cosy and spacious ride for your child.

Smarter Design, More Space for You

Axkid is known for pushing boundaries, and the Minikid 4 Max is no exception. It features CompactFit™ technology, reducing the car seat’s footprint by 15cm compared to similar rear-facing seats—so your child enjoys the same comfort while taking up less space in your car. Plus, the headrest has been upgraded from an automatic to a manual adjustment system, making it even easier for parents to customise the fit.

If you loved the Axkid Movekid, get ready to be impressed by its next level successor—the Axkid Minikid 4 Pro. Designed with cutting edge safety innovations and enhanced comfort, this rear-facing car seat is built to provide unparalleled protection and a superior travel experience for your little one.

Unrivaled Safety for Peace of Mind

Safety is at the heart of the Axkid Minikid 4 Pro. This seat has successfully passed the Swedish Plus Test, one of the most rigorous crash tests in the world, and has been extensively overtested to ensure maximum security. Designed to accommodate children up to 125cm or 36kg, it provides long lasting rear-facing protection—proven to be up to five times safer than forward-facing seats.

For added security, the Advanced Side Impact Protection (ASIP) system absorbs impact forces in the event of a side collision, while the SafeLock™ Integrated Belt Locking System ensures a rock solid installation every time.

Comfort That Grows With Your Child

Long journeys just got more comfortable! The Axkid Minikid 4 Pro features soft, breathable fabrics, a 13-step adjustable headrest, and a 2-step recline function, ensuring your child enjoys a cosy ride at every stage. Despite its slim and space saving design, it still offers up to 30cm of legroom, giving your little one plenty of space to stretch out.

Smarter Design, More Space for You

Axkid is all about smart solutions, and the Minikid 4 Pro is no exception. Thanks to CompactFit™ technology, it takes up 15cm less space compared to similar rear-facing seats—without compromising comfort. Plus, its narrow profile makes it possible to fit three Minikid 4 Pro seats in a row in many vehicles. (Fit may vary by car model, so be sure to check compatibility.)

The Axkid One Minikid 4 Max & Minikid 4 Pro are made from breathable recycled fabrics and are available in the new Axkid Colour Range. The Minikid 4 Max is available in all 5 colourways and the Minikid 4 Pro is available in the centre 3 colourways.

Extended rear-facing car seats are designed to grow with your child, allowing them to remain rear-facing until the age of 6 or 7. This setup ensures your child travels in the safest possible position until they are ready to transition to a highback booster seat. Rear-facing car seats provide crucial support to the head and spine during a collision by evenly distributing the child's weight across the backrest. In contrast, forward-facing seats support the torso but allow the head to propel forward in a crash, increasing the risk of serious spinal cord injury.

Axkid’s Swedish heritage in safety, innovation and design, means they produce some of the safest car seats in the world. Their aim is to protect children and provide security for parents and grandparents. As a brand they are wholeheartedly dedicated to creating the safest car seats in the world.
