Thinking about transitioning from rear-facing to forward-facing? Here\u2019s what you need to know to keep safety a top priority. Most standard forward-facing car seats aren\u2019t fully compatible with a vehicle\u2019s built-in safety systems. This is particularly problematic for smaller children, who often sit too low for effective seatbelt positioning and airbag protection. The result? Less protection for the children who need it the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vehicle seatbelts and airbags are made for adults over 150cm tall. For smaller children, seatbelts often sit too high across the stomach or neck, increasing the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many forward-facing car seats attempt to adapt to these systems, but most fall short. They may create slack, misalign the belt, or be too bulky for proper installation. In the end, the children who need protection the most receive less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Featuring HeightControl\u2122, a three-level height adjustment system, Axkid Up\u2122 raises your child to the optimal seating position. Ensures correct belt alignment and full compatibility with your car\u2019s safety system. With smarter belt positioning and enhanced protection, Axkid Up\u2122 fits seamlessly into your life, your car, and your child\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Axkid Up\u2122 is engineered to work in harmony with your car\u2019s safety systems, regardless of make or model. Suitable for children from 100cm to 150cm in height, and up to 50kg, it offers a flexible, long-term solution for children up to 12 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HeightControl\u2122 adjusts the seat height to keep the belt correctly positioned across the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ProTecBase\u2122, with ISOFIX, a sturdy support leg, and Up Footrest<\/a>, helps reduce neck forces by up to 25% and prevents “submarining” (sliding under the belt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n QuickFold\u2122 allows for compact folding and easy storage. Can even be installed whilst folded \u2014 ideal for travel or switching between vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SnapGuard\u2122 removable side wings save space and adapt to the child’s needs as they grow.

There are no complex belt paths or unnecessary anchor points. Just a secure, stable installation that minimises slack and maximises protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compact and foldable \u2014 ideal for daily use and travel. Up Carry Bag<\/a> is designed for easy portability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comfort isn’t just about convenience. It plays a vital role in safety. An uncomfortable or poorly positioned seat can lead to misuse, risky adjustments or movement during a collision. Axkid Up\u2122 offers a stable base, ergonomic support and a secure fit to keep your child safe and comfortable on every journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When<\/strong> rear-<\/strong>facing<\/strong> <\/strong>isn\u2019t<\/strong> an option<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Axkid, we always recommend rear-facing travel for as long as possible \u2014 ideally until your child reaches 125cm and approximately seven years of age. However, we understand that many families switch to forward-facing sooner due to space limitations, vehicle design or daily logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why we created Axkid Up\u2122, a forward-facing seat that doesn\u2019t compromise on safety. Approved for children aged 4 to 12 years, from 100cm to 150cm and up to 50kg.
