When it comes to child car safety, there should be no compromises. With Minikid Core, Axkid introduces a new generation of rear-facing car seats designed for modern families who need flexibility, simplicity, and the very highest safety standards — without sacrificing comfort.

In this post we will discuss: Minikid Core: Where Ultimate Flexibility Meets Uncompromised Safety

Built on the trusted Minikid platform and tested beyond industry requirements, Minikid Core brings together innovative design and award-winning safety in a seat that adapts effortlessly to both your child and your vehicle.

Tested Beyond Standards — Because Safety Comes First

Minikid Core is Swedish Plus Test approved and certified to UN R129 and R170, meeting some of the strictest safety requirements in the world. Unlike many rear-facing seats, it is tested with a HIII 6-year-old crash test dummy, verifying protection up to 28 kg.

Its rear-facing design significantly reduces forces on the child’s neck and spine in a frontal collision, while the support leg, adjustable anti-rebound bar, and side-impact protection (ASIP) work together to create a stable, protective environment around your child.

Approved from 40–125 cm (approximately birth to 7 years), Minikid Core enables extended rear-facing travel for longer — the safest way for children to ride.

The Easiest Belt-Installed Rear-Facing Seat on the Market

Minikid Core is engineered to make rear-facing installation genuinely simple. It uses the vehicle’s seat belt — without tether straps — combined with an adjustable anti-rebound bar offering three legroom positions, and a support leg for added stability.

The integrated SafeLock™ system keeps the belt firmly in place, ensuring a reliable and consistent installation every time. The result? A car seat that can be installed in any car, in any seating position, front or rear, making it ideal for families who switch vehicles or regularly move the seat.

Installation takes as little as 30 seconds, removing stress while maintaining uncompromised safety.

Greater Vehicle Compatibility — Even Beyond Cars

Thanks to its combined UN R129 and R170 approval, Minikid Core is approved for a wider range of vehicles than many rear-facing seats — including buses.

It can be installed using both three-point and two-point seat belts, depending on the vehicle, making it a uniquely versatile solution for families, carers, and professional transport settings.

Comfort That Adapts as Your Child Grows

Safety and comfort go hand in hand. Minikid Core features DualRecline™, a unique 2-step recline base exclusive to the Core model within the Minikid family.

Because it is approved from just 40 cm, the recline range is broader, allowing the seating angle to be adapted to your child’s size and age — from newborn onwards — while also accommodating different vehicle seat shapes.

An 8-step adjustable headrest ensures the headrest and harness are always positioned correctly as your child grows, while the included infant insert provides additional support in the earliest stages.

CompactFit™: Maximum Space, Minimal Footprint

Despite its extended rear-facing capability, Minikid Core fits within the i-Size envelope, meaning it takes up no more space than an i-Size seat.

With CompactFit™ design, it can be installed in small cars, in the front passenger seat, or even three across the back seat in compatible vehicles — all without compromising comfort or safety.
