All our car seats have tilt functions in the front. Try to use these first to get a better angle on the car seat, see the user manual for detailed information. If you need to tilt the car seat even more, we recommend our accessory “angle adjusting wedge“.

Here is a video of how the wedge should be used.

We at Axkid recommend as small an inclination of the car seat as possible, provided that the child can sit upright by itself without the head falling forward. All children are different and the inclination of the car seat must always be adapted to the child’s needs. The recommended angle for small children is about 30-35 degrees. A suitable angle for older children is between 15-25 degrees. Depending on the car seat model, there are different numbers of tilt positions and if you feel that you need more tilt than what the tilt control offers, you can buy a tilt wedge from one of our retailers » or at www.axkid.com »

It should be so tight that you can get maximum 2 fingers between the child’s body and the harness. We recommend that you remove any type of thick clothing since it is important that the harness is as close to the child’s body as possible. To keep the child warm during the car ride you can place a blanket or something similar on top of the harness without interfering with the safety of the child.

It is important that the headrest and belt is correctly adjusted in same height as the shoulder. If the belt is too low the belt will press the child´s back down in a accident. If the belt is to high the child could come loose or in case of an accident the belt could run over the neck instead of over the chest bone.

Se below picture for correct height.

Yes, that’s fine, as long as you regularly check that the headrest is in the correct position in relation to your child. However, we do recommend not making a habit of locking the headrest “just because”, since the protection in case of a collision comes from having the harness correctly fastened – not from having the headrest lever set on “Lock”. The headrest brake is mainly used when the child is very small or when traveling with an empty car seat.

Yes, it is completely safe to use our side impact protection even if it touches the car door, provided that the door can still easily be closed without using excessive force.
