DD is 4 and we need a new seat, she’s 19KG & 110cm.

I've got a sazuki vitara & have been looking at the Axkid mini kid 4 but wondering if anyone knows how much space it takes up? We’re a fairly tall family and if the front seats have to be fully forward to allow for the seat behind it’ll be tricky. Open to other options if there’s something else more compact but just as safe and will last as long as possible rear facing.

I think the Minikid 4 is the most compact that has the height limit you need, although I’m not sure how much space it takes up. The Avionaut Sky is more compact but I don’t think it’ll last you very long.
To maximise front passenger/driver space you can keep the seat as upright as possible. Or you could put the seat in the front passenger seat.

Have a look on Axkid's website and see where their closest stockist to you is. They should be able to try different seats in your car before you commit to one so you can check if it takes up too much room.

Presuming she's been in a spin type seat until now? Usually the 125cm ERF seats are more compact because they sit more upright and don't have the rebound bar that the spin seats have.
