Axkid One 2

[IDontLikeMondays88]

Does anyone have experience of using this for an older child ie between 4-7. Was your little one ok to still rear face and was there enough leg room?

Bumping this

I have the Axkid one. Space wise my tall skinny 5 year old is absolutely fine (120cm / 20kg ish), but I suspect he's going to outgrow it by weight before height. I can see that the one 2 goes up to 23kg, but depending on your DC's build you might run into problems there. I know there's rear facing seats now that go up to 36kg.

The fact it is on rails is really helpful - in a friend's Axkid minikid recently he was really cramped. Sliding the Axkid one right to the end of the rails gives him loads of leg room. Whether you can do that will depend on the seating arrangements in your car though.

DS complains about rear facing as none of his friends do, but I have no qualms explaining to him that I'm prioritising his safety. He's very excited about moving to forward facing though.

thank you!

So I thought 36kg was like a 10 yesr old and I wasn’t thinking he would rear face that long.
also I think the axid one 2 is one of the only isofix extended rear facing - a lot of them seem to be tethers which seems to complicated!

It's more if you're aiming for 7 you might not get close to that if you've got a child on the higher centiles for weight. I don't think DS1 will get to 6.

We bought the isofix as we didn't own a car and it has been very handy from that perspective, but you do pay a premium for it and if you're not moving the car seat then I think the tethers are a hassle but only something you need to do once.

The tethers aren't too bad honestly - once the tethers are in place you can leave them there and then it's just a case of buckling the seat in and attaching the tethers to the seat which takes about 30 secs. We have a axkid minikid (tethered) and joie 360 (isofix) and I'd rather try to remove the axkid from the car than the joie any day.

This is true but the Joie is much bulkier and heavier than the Axkid One2. The Axkid One2 is designed to be light and doesn't have the swivel piece, so it is easier to move.

If OP is concerned about ease of use then it's a good option.

OP: I would look for an Axkid retailer near you (they have a list on their website) and ask for a demo. You can try the seat in your car and your child in the seat and see what you think.
