Thinking of buying this for my tall 3 year old (he's more like 4)

Does anyone have this? What's your opinion on it

TIA

Xx

If he’s under 18kg but tall it can be good as the harness doesn’t have a height limit so it can go higher than average group 1 seats. It does well safety wise as a rear facing seat and as a booster (not too well in forward facing harness). How much does he weigh and do you have a budget?

Oh no don’t say it doesn’t do well in forward facing, why is that?

We ended up buying it in the end

You can use it rear facing to 18kg which it scorer very well in and it is much safer to rear face as long as you can.

I highly recommend axkid minikid. Rear facing to 25kg and very comfortable with decent leg room. 500% safer than forward facing
