Which car seat group is the right one?

If you are looking for a new car seat for your 40 lbs child, Axkid is the right place to look at. A car seat can be approved in several car seat groups. Therefore Axkid recommends a car seat in car seat stage 2 or a car seat that is approved in both car seat stage 2 and car seat stage 3. At Axkid you will find several seat belt attached car seats and one ISOFIX rear facing car seat that is suitable for a kid weighing around 40 lbs.

Rear facing or forward facing?

Axkid always recommends a rear-facing car seat when possible, and you can find a lot of rear facing car seats that are suitable for kids over 40 lbs at Axkid’s website. One of the reasons why a rear-facing car seat is safer than a forward-facing car seat is the fact that the neck and spine is better protected. This reduces the risk of fatal or serious injuries in a car crash.

Does rear facing car seat get too small too soon?

Many people question whether it’s worth it to buy a rear-racing car seat or if you should buy a forward-facing one right away? Axkid’s answer is simple – rear-facing for as long as possible is always worth it since it is up to five times safer. Axkid offers rear facing car seats up to 125 cm / 36 kg (79 lbs) in Axkid Minikid 4. Other car seat models such as Axkid Minikid 2 (2022/ 23) and Axkid Move are approved up to 25 kg (55 lbs). Axkid ONE 2 is the first ISOFIX rear-facing car seat up to 125 cm / 23 kg (50 lbs).

Car seat installation

Both ISOFIX and seat belt attachments are possible installation types of a car seat for a 40 lbs child. As both installation types are safe, you should choose the type that suits your family situation the best. Looking for a car seat for a child of 40 lbs, you will find a wide assortment of i-Size approved, R-129 or R-44 approved car seats.
