Rear-facing car seat installations for 6-year-olds

When it comes to installing rear-facing car seat for a 6 year old, Axkid offers options for both ISOFIX and seatbelt installation. Both methods are considered equally safe, allowing you to choose based on your family’s preferences. Additionally, Axkid’s ISOFIX-installed rear-facing car seat is i-Size (R-129) approved. With a wide range of options available at Axkid, you can find a suitable rear-facing car seat for your needs.

Safety first: Why rear-facing is the best choice for your 6-year-old?

When it comes to car seat safety, rear-facing is the superior option for children of up to 6 years old. Rear-facing car seats provide better support and protection for the neck and spine, reducing the risk of injury in the event of a collision.  At Axkid, we strongly encourage parents to keep their 6-year-olds in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible. Axkid Minikid 4 allows taller children and those with longer torsos to travel rear-facing. If your child has outgrown our rear-facing options, we also offer forward-facing high back booster car seats that may fit their size and needs.

Selecting the perfect car seat for your 6-year-old

When looking for a rear facing car seat for your 6-year-old, it is important to consider the maximum weight and height limits to ensure your child can remain rear-facing for as long as possible. Another key factor to consider when choosing a car seat is the Plus Test, which is known to be one of the most stringent crash tests in the world. Axkid is proud to offer a variety of Plus Tested rear-facing car seats, ensuring they are of the highest safety standard.

Child too big for rear-facing

If your child has outgrown the maximum limits of our rear-facing car seats, it’s time for the next stage car seat. After a rear-facing car seat, the next step is a high back booster seat. You can find more information from our correct car seat guide.
