What is an extended rear facing car seat?
An extended rear facing car seat is a toddler car seat very much like a standard rear facing car seat with the difference being that an erf car seat can be used rear facing for a much longer period of time. Our erf car seats have adjustable headrests and inserts depending on your child's age and can be fitted in the car either with the vehicle belt or ISOFIX and is suitable for children from about 40-125 cm (16-49 inches). We at Axkid are experts at rear facing car seats and we advocate for riding rearwards for much longer than our competitors.
Why use a rear facing car seat?
Studies clearly show that rear-facing car seats are significantly safer than forward-facing alternatives. Small children who travel forward facing, face a five times higher risk of dying or being seriously injured in a collision or hard braking, compared to children in rear-facing car seats. All of our car seats have undergone the Swedish plus test which guarantees that your child is not exposed to life-threatening high neck forces in a frontal collision. Sweden is world leading when it comes to child safety in cars, therefore it is not surprising that the plus test is a Swedish approval.
