Belt-fitted rear-facing seat from birth (40 cm) to 125 cm.
Recalled
On 22 September 2026 Axkid started a voluntary recall of specified Minikid Core production batches, after testing "identified a deviation from the company's own stringent safety standards". Axkid says the seat still meets legal requirements. What to do: register your seat on Axkid's website with its car seat ID. The UK notice says the ID is on the label under the seat and starts with "E9". Affected seats are replaced free of charge; the UK notice (22 October 2026) says with a Minikid 4 Pro. Axkid says affected seats "can continue to be used until the replacement product arrives".

Crash protection matters more than chemicals. Never add covers or padding that weren't made and approved for this seat.
Warnings: It passed the Swedish Plus Test, which measures the force on a child's neck in a frontal crash. It scored 5.5 (very poor) in ADAC's autumn 2026 test, which rated its frontal crash protection poor and failed it on harmful substances. The two tests measure different things.
