Axkid Minikid 4 Pro installed in a Ford Focus with airbag off. One of many scheduled appointments for trying a new seat. In the backseat already an old BeSafe iZi Plus inherited from a friend.

Parents outside Sweden often believe front seat to be a death trap. In reality the opposite is true. We count front passenger seat with airbag off as the safest place for a rear facing child.

In front seat Axkid Minikid 4 Pro, Minikid 4 Max and Klippan Opti 129 are always best options since right side mirror can be seen. Occasionally other seats will work but it`s unusual.

We try seats in front, middle rear and behind driver. Minikid thankfully works well in all positions and in cars small to large thanks to its very compact size.

Minikid 4 Pro selected and we intsall with 30-35 degree angle and built in angle adjuster in position two. View in right side mirror very good.

As usual super easy to attach tether straps in all cars by Ford. We cross straps behind seat to make installation rock solid.

iZi Plus in back seat quite well installed but we pull up support leg, pull tether straps HARD and then extend support leg again. Seat is now ultra firm.

Axkid ONE 2 installed in an awesome Saab 9-5. Superb car but company unfortunately went bankrupt.

Angle around 35 degrees. More leg space could be provided in more upright position.

ONE/ONE 2/ONE 3 are almost identical, same great seat. Most compact rear facing seat available so nice leg space for child and plenty of room up front is usually possible even in smaller cars.

Two Britax Max-Way Plus and a Maxi-Cosi Rodifix installed in a VW Passat Alltrack. World class safety on a budget.

No problem fitting three car seats and two adults in most cars. This 5.5-years old is switching from her MW Plus to a high back booster. Young twins will then change from infant seats to rear facing.

Currently we have a used MW Plus behind passenger purchased pre-owned from us 4-5 years ago. Plustested, compact and works well with two or more seats next to each other. Nicely done with rear facing until 5.5 years!

Another pre-owed MW Plus is selected and we install both next to each other. Seat closest to door is moved around 5-10 cm and both have lots of leg space. Very easy to attach tether straps under seat rails.

Oldest child switching to high back booster and we try pre-owned seats with a short cushion. BeSafe iZi Flex, Maxi-Cosi Rodifx Pro and the older Rodifx are tried and all work quite well.

Rodifix selected which is sold 2020 which means around five more years left of use. Actually longer but child will then be in a booster pillow and the twins still in MW Plus.

Tall adult can easily fit behind drivers seat. This is a great and practical solution to maximise space and fit three kids and two adults in a regular car to avoid purchasing a new one.

Axkid Minikid 4 installed in a Kia Stonic. Young child right now with the baby insert. Also tried without insert and fit was quite good thanks to thicker clothing. High bonus points since seat color is matching the outfit;-)

Angle 35 degrees and as usual super easy to attach tether straps under seat rails in all cars by Kia. Done in 30 seconds and no attachment loops needed.

Good space in front seat even though angle of seat is steep. Ignore base, only there temporarily.

Axkid Spinkid installed in a Toyota RAV4. Little guy needs an upgrade from his infant seat and parents are interested in Spinkid which is currently on mega-sale.

Spinkid is almost identical to the upgraded Spinkid 2. The newer model has the same steels bars on sides as ONE 3 and also a slightly different anti-rebound bar. Both features irrelevant.

It`s a nice Plustested seat with swivel function to the side. Like all Isofix seats approved to 105 cm it won`t last the whole rear facing period but parents are aware of this.

As usual super fast installation and the Isofix connectors in Toyota are easy to reach. The car is nowadays very spacious and there is plenty of room in front seat for a tall adult.

Axkid Minikid 2 2022/23 installed in front seat of a Peugeot 5008 with airbag off. A successful but very unusual installation. Nice leg space for child AND also seeing right side mirror with this seat is like finding Bigfoot stealing apples in your garden.

We now have some brand new Minikid 2 available for those who want one of the best selling rear facing seats in the past ten years at a bargain.

Minikid 2, Britax Max-Way/Max-Way Plus and BeSafe Stretch are all very popular seats. But usually horrible in front seat with poor view in side mirror.

Not that easy to attach tether straps under seat rails. Start at the back and then slide straps forward to the very front. No loops needed.

We crossed straps behind Minikid and the self adjusting straps on this model are awesome. Spring is tight and will pull tightly. To make installation ultra-tight straps can also be pulled manually. Weltklasse!

Very unusual with nice leg space in front seat unless it`s a Volvo or a premium Audi/BMW/Mercedes.

This car is from 2021 and has three "real" seats in the back with Isofix. Awesome! This has sadly been changed on the latest models, no Isofix in middle rear, which is good info for those with several kids.

Axkid Movekid Pro and Britax Max-Way Plus installed in a Telsa Model Y. Home delivery with installation for a 5-year old who has outgrown MW Plus and needs a new rear facing seat. 2-year old sister is now taking over the older seat.

Installed with 25-30 degree angle and lots of leg space. Huge space still left for tall adult in front passenger seat.

Unfortunately no attachment loops installed. Easy installation would have been no problem had we known. Straps now secured under back of vehicle seat. Works but not a good option since straps need to be released when moving front seat.

Made MW Plus installation far tighter by pullling up support leg and pulling hard on straps. Keep in mind to always extend support leg at the end for best installation.

Axkid Minikid 4 Pro installed in a Toyota Avensis. One of many scheduled appointments for trying seats directly in the car. Parents mostly interested in Minikid 4 and BeSafe Stretch.

Trying seats both front and rear. Also try Axkid ONE which is likely the best option but can`t be used in front passenger seat. Stretch fitting well in back seat but no view in right side mirror.

4 Pro final decision and we install a new seat right away with 35 degree angle and little leg space for the little one.

As usual very simple to attach tether straps in Toyota. Both sides done in 30 seconds. Nice space in front seat for a tall adult.

BeSafe Stretch installed in a Tesla Model Y. Can you spot something different in the first photo? Details at the bottom.

Tesla MY is a great and spacious car perfect for car seats but it`s very difficult to attach tether straps under seat rails. That`s why we always install attachment loops in the back seat. Very easy and done in five minutes.

Huge space up front for a very tall adult. Stretch is not the most compact seat but a bit misunderstood due to the massive leg space available.

When leg space for child is incresed it means less space in front seat which can be difficult in small cars. But that`s the same with all rear facing seats. In Tesla MY we can provide large leg space for child in a Stretch and there is still nice room in the front.

You might have noticed the ARB missing on the seat. That`s the bar at child`s feet pushing against back of vehicle seat.

Parents arrived and had forgotten the ARB. We showed how to best install Stretch by tighening seat belt hard and extending support leg at the very end.

Seat is rock solid and the ARB was added as parents arrived at home. Child was not present and did not ride in the seat.

TinySeats Two installed in a Volvo EX30. Angle around 30-35 degrees and quite decent leg space for older child.

Also tried seat forward facing as a high back booster with good fit and seat belt low on the hip. Not a large car but good space for an adult up front.

TinySeats is very easy to use and practical to have in the trunk or bring along when traveling. Check out how it works, we have two videos in our channel on YT.

Axkid ONE 3+ installed in a Mercedes CLA. Nice looking car where the seat fits perfectly thanks to the incredibly compact size.

We can provide huge leg space for child and there is still good space for a tall adult in front passenger seat.

CLA is based on Mercedes small "A" and "B"-classes. Hard to believe when you see ONE in the car. Installation as usual done in ten seconds.

Didn`t measure leg space but seems around 25 cm. Can be incresed even more by moving passenger seat further forward. No manches!

Britax Max-Safe Pro installed in a tiny Toyota Aygo. Angle around 30-35 degrees and installed without the included spacer.

Attaching the lower tether straps always easy in Toyota and especially in Aygo. Can be done in 30 seconds, blindfolded after two bottles of wine.

The self-locking tether straps are helpful. Just push down and wiggle seat slightly to tighten straps. This would work even better with a stronger spring in the mechanism.

Child is young and no leg space needed. Space in front seat is actually not bad considering how small the car is. The spacer can be used for more leg space as child gets older but this will also decrease room in front passenger seat.

Axkid Minikid 4 Max installed in a Kia Ceed. Young toddler switching from infant to rear facing seat which should fit both in front and rear.

Baby number two is on the way and parents are worried about fitting two seats. No problem! Easy to fit three rear facing seats in a Kia Ceed.

Trying Minikid 4 Pro/Max and also ONE even though there is no Isofix in front seat. Minikid fits nicely in all positions with good view in right side mirror. ONE as usual super compact in the rear.

Decision is Minikid 4 Max in color "Nordic Bloom Green" installed right away in back seat with medium leg space. Angle around 30-35 degrees with built in adjuster at maximum position.

As usual easy to attach tether straps under seat rails and no loops needed. Plenty of space up front for a tall adult.

Axkid Minikid 4 Pro installed in a BMW i4 with airbag off. One of many scheduled appointments for trying rear facing seats where we explore both front and rear. Today`s seats are Minikid 4 Pro/Max, Britax Max-Way Plus and BeSafe Stretch.

Poor view in right side mirror with Stretch and MW Plus. As usual excellent with Minikid 4. Stretch also needs lots of room in backseat even with minimum leg space for child.

Decision is Minikid 4 Pro and we deliver and install the seat at parents home later on. Easy to attach tether straps under seat rails and no attachment loops needed.

Installed with around 30 degree angle with built in angle adjuster in position two. Superb view in right side mirror.
