The safest direction is rear facing

If you have a child of the age of four years, Axkid strongly recommends a rear-facing car seat rather than a forward-facing car seat. Travelling rear-facing protects the neck and spine of children of four years of age in a much better way than forward-facing seat and reduces the risk of injury in the event of a collision. You should not only use a rear-facing car seat until at least age 4, but for as long as possible. At Axkid, we offer various rear-facing car seats that can be used even with older children. Rear-facing car seats are becoming ever more popular, due to the reduced risk of severe injury.

How to choose the right kind of rear-facing car seat for 4-year-old?

When choosing a rear-facing car seat for 4-year-old, Axkid recommends choosing high maximum limits so that your child can travel rear-facing for many years ahead. We want to see more 4-year-old children in rear-facing car seats! Another thing to look for are Plus Tested car seats, as they have passed one of the toughest crash tests in the world.
