In 2009, Axkid was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden. Qvist and Broberg worked until 2011 before releasing Axkid\u2019s first car seat, setting the stage for a company that would become synonymous with child safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission was to develop new safety technologies and educate the public on the importance of rear-facing car seats, ensuring that children travel safe and comfortably to bring safety and peace of mind to families worldwide.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This vision has guided Axkid&#8217;s development and growth over the past 15 years, leading to the introduction of award-winning products and a reputation for excellence in child safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"timeline-container container-fluid\">                      \n    <div class=\"row text-center justify-content-center\">\n        <div

we have consistently pushed the boundaries of child car seat safety and design, and numerous milestones have been achieved on our journey to become a market leader in child safety. Here are some key milestones.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A decade of perfecting sustainable safety and comfort<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our car seats have been refined over the years into two, multi-award-winning platforms: One\u2122 and <a href=\"https:\/\/axkid.com\/ie\/product\/minikid-4-limited-edition\/\">Minikid\u2122<\/a>. Engineered to adapt as a child grows, our seats reduce the necessity for replacements, promote economic and environmental sustainability, while offering maximum safety and comfort. Each platform is carefully designed to accommodate various heights and weights, ensuring an ideal fit for every child, car, and lifestyle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/axkid.com\/app\/uploads\/Two-pictures-of-different-boys-sitting-in-rear-facing-car-seats.png\" alt=\"two pictures of different boys sitting in rear facing car seats\" class=\"wp-image-181990\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To celebrate our 15th anniversary and our efforts within child safety during these years, we&#8217;ve introduced a limited edition colour. Explore the colour and car seats <a href=\"https:\/\/axkid.com\/ie\/car-seats\/limited-edition\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We promise to keep innovating.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With extensive data on child traffic safety, we cannot ignore the facts, we strive to build upon them. Child safety in traffic can be improved globally. That\u2019s a reality today, tomorrow, and every year from now. We promise to never compromise on innovation and to continually educate and share life-saving knowledge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we celebrate 15 years of innovation and dedication, we remain committed to our promise: <em>to bring adventures to children and peace of mind to parents.<\/em> The demand for child safety is growing, and we will continue to lead the way, never compromising on our commitment to safety, innovation, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/axkid.com\/app\/uploads\/Boy-sitting-in-Axkid-Bliue-rear-facing-car-seat.png\" alt=\"boy sitting in axkid bliue rear facing car seat\" class=\"wp-image-181991\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<em>Thank you for being part of our journey.
