Questions about Installation

Yes, you can. Make sure that when you install the car seat it does not touch the seat in front of it. Once you have finished installing it, you can push back the seat in front and let it touch your car seat. Also make sure that you use the support leg correctly when installing the seat. Be very careful if you have an electrically powered car seat in front since the motors is very strong and can damage the Axkid seat.

Yes, you can install the car seat in the front seat of your car. However, it is important to check the support leg and make sure that it is at an angle over 10° from the back of the seat. You can check this by ensuring that the support leg is further away from the seat than the vertical line. And don’t forget to always ensure that the airbag is turned off, this is very important!

No. A rear-facing car seat must never be installed in front of an active frontal airbag.

If you want to install a rear-facing car seat in the front passenger seat, the frontal airbag must be safely deactivated. Always check your vehicle manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer if you are unsure whether the airbag can be deactivated.

Yes, you can use our car seats on all seat positions if the car manufacturer approves them. Check the car’s user manual for more information on which seat positions is approved for use of a car seat or see our vehicle list here ».

Yes, the tether straps must always be used when installing it with ISOFIX.

When you purchase your Axkid car seat, additional tether straps are always included to enable installation in all cars, with or without attachment loops. For Axkid Move however, there is an exception since the tether straps on the seat are different and can be attached to any car directly without the use of additional tether straps.

Yes, when using the car seat rear-facing, you must always install the seat with the support leg. That’s how our car seats are tested and approved. Before installing the support leg you need to make sure that there is no storage compartment underneath the car floor. If this is the case, the lid needs to be removed and the support leg installed in that space and not on top of the storage compartment. Most car manufactures offer a storage compartment filler that also be used but please consult with your car manufacture or dealer.

Axkid car seats can be installed either with ISOFIX or with the vehicle’s seat belt, depending on the model.

ISOFIX connects the car seat directly to the vehicle’s ISOFIX anchor points and can make installation easier. Seat belt-installed car seats use the vehicle’s three-point seat belt and may offer more flexibility when choosing where to place the seat.

Always follow the installation instructions for your specific car seat and check that it is compatible with your vehicle.

Axkid provides car seats both with ISOFIX and seat belt attachment. Filter based on your preferred installation type here.

It is important to check that the support leg is at an angle around 10° degrees from the back of the seat. You could check this by ensuring that the support leg is further away from the seat than the vertical line. Before installing the support leg you need to make sure that there is no storage compartment underneath the car floor. If this is the case, the lid needs to be removed and the support leg installed in that space and not on top of the storage compartment.
