Axkid’s accessories ensure your child is safe and comfortable at all times. We do tests on all our products but there is no official test on accessories because there is no standard or regulations on how to test accessories in the car, in comparison to the Plus Test where there are Swedish standard and specific procedures to be approved. This process standardization is missing when it comes to accessories.

We recommend the use of our car seats during the course of 8 years, from when it is installed in your car. For example, it can be in store for 2 years and then used for 8 years. The baby car seat has a life span of 6-7 years in use. The reason as to why we have set this time limit is because the plastic parts are more sensitive to differences in temperatures when installed in the car, but also because we at Axkid are continuously working with the development of our products.

1. Activation of airbags or other safety systems: If any of the built-in safety systems have been activated or deployed during the accident.
2. Interior damage to the car: If there are visible damages inside the car caused by the collision.
3. Collision with larger animals: If the car seat has been involved in a collision with a larger animal.
4. Repair costs exceeding 35,000 SEK: If the costs to repair damages related to the collision exceed 35,000 SEK.

If any of the above conditions are met we recommend getting in contact with your insurance company. The conditions above is a international recommendation developed by a national expert group for child safety in cars, SIS/TK 242. The group includes representatives from child car seat and car manufacturers with subcontractors, consumer organizations, test institutes, traffic researchers, and insurance companies.

When popriveting, the parts of the poprivet that are not needed drops and sometimes these pieces unfortunately falls into the car seat, this does not affect safety.
