Axkid introduces Minikid 4 Max and Minikid 4 Pro– tested beyond standards

Axkid, the Swedish leader in child car safety, is proud to introduce their next generation of Minikid™ car seats: Minikid 4 Max and Minikid 4 Pro. Build to grow with the child, from 6 months up to 7 years (36 kg or 125 cm), it is one of the longest-lasting rear-facing car seats on the market. Tested beyond industry standards to ensure real-life safety. To offer the highest level of protection for the ones that need it the most.

Axkid presents their latest evolution in child safety: the Minikid 4 Max and Minikid 4 Pro. Designed for extended rear-facing use, these car seats adapt as the child grows from 6 months to 7 years and are certified for children up to 36 kg or 125 cm, offering one of the longest-lasting safety solutions on the market.

Minikid 4 Max and Minikid 4 Pro have passed the Swedish Plus Test, one of the world's toughest crash tests, which is not a mandatory requirement for car seat manufacturers. A Plus-tested car seat guarantees that the child traveling in it is not exposed to life-threatening high neck forces in the event of a frontal collision. But Axkid doesn’t stop there. The Minikid 4 series undergoes testing far beyond regulatory requirements, including real-world crash simulations, misuse testing, and evaluations across different car models. Because when it comes to child safety, safe enough simply isn’t enough.

“As a parent, doubt never leaves you. You always ask yourself if you’re making the right choices for your child, if they are truly safe enough. That’s why we push industry standards further — to bring parents peace of mind and ensure real-world protection for our most vulnerable passengers, our children,” says Anton Wall, Vice President and Commercial Director at Axkid.

For previous Minikid users, many familiar features remain, such as the CompactFit™ design, allowing installation anywhere in the car and accommodating up to three seats across the backseat. However, the new models also bring exciting enhancements. The Minikid 4 Max takes comfort, adjustability, and functionality to the next level, featuring patented auto-retracting tether straps for a quick and smooth 60-second installation. Meanwhile, the Minikid 4 Pro offers the same trusted safety with a streamlined design at a more affordable price.

“Our new Minikid 4 Max and Pro are the result of real customer feedback, rigorous testing, and continuous refinement. Since launching our first Minikid nearly two decades ago, it has been used by hundreds of thousands of families worldwide. Thanks to their input and our extensive testing, we can now offer our best belt-mounted rear-facing car seat ever—Minikid 4 Max and Minikid 4 Pro,” says Anton Wall.

Minikid 4 Max and Minikid 4 Pro will be available at selected retailers worldwide and at Axkid.com from the 5^th of March.
