Axkid launches forward-facing children’s car seat

Swedish child car safety company Axkid has launched Axkid Up, a forward-facing car seat designed to provide safety, adaptability and comfort for children from 100-150cm, and tested up to 50 kg.
Axkid Up is equipped with SnapGuard, removable side wings that contribute to a space-saving design and can provide extra room when needed.

Swedish child car safety company Axkid has launched Axkid Up, a forward-facing car seat designed to provide safety, adaptability and comfort for children from 100-150cm. It has been tested up to 50kg.

Featuring the company’s HeightControl technology, the seat and backrest can be adjusted independently to ensure the seatbelt remains positioned across the shoulders and hips. The fit reduces belt slack and ensures the child can fully benefit from the car’s built-in safety systems.

“Axkid Up is the result of years of development and close collaboration with parents, the automotive industry and our partners,” said Anton Wall, vice president and commercial director at Axkid. “While we will always recommend rear-facing travel for as long as possible, we know that many children are turned forward too early, or stop using a car seat altogether, often due to misconceptions or lack of awareness. We identified a clear gap in the market, where many still believe that a forward-facing seat suits both a four-year-old and a much older child equally well. That’s simply not true. Parents needed a forward-facing seat with smarter and safer features, one that adapts to the child’s height, whether they’re four, eight or 12. With Axkid Up, we now meet that need.”

Axkid Up features the Axkid ProtecBase steel frame alongside the SnapGuard removable side wings. The seat’s foldable design, powered by Quickfold, ensures ease of installation and storage. ErgoSupport aims to enhance lumbar support for longer journeys.

“With Axkid Up, we wanted to raise both the level of safety and the degree of innovation in forward-facing car seats. What many don’t realize is that a car’s built-in safety systems are designed for adults from 152cm and up. That’s why we developed an adjustable seat that, together with the adaptable backrest, positions the child at an adult height based on their size, so they can truly benefit from the car’s safety systems, which are designed for us adults. It’s time to raise the level of in-car safety for older children too, so they can make full use of the seatbelt, airbags and other protection systems,” added Wall.
