Axkid Minikid 4 Pro in a Tesla model Y with airbag off. Installed with 30-35 degree angle against dashboard and little leg space for young child.
Long attachment loops installed under front seat which makes it easy to attach tether straps. We also crossed straps behind the seat to make installation rock solid.

Britax Two-Way in a Volvo XC60. We’re trying forward facing seats for a 6-year old sitting in a BeSafe Stretch. Little brother temporarily in a TWE and of course we took a photo of this fantastic seat.
TWE arrived in 1995 and was far ahead of its time. Rear facing 9-25 kg, forward facing with harness to 25 kg and also forward facing with seat belt to 25 kg.
Seat is crazy light at 7 kg and also has a tall back for long rear facing time. We normally say to around 130 cm or about seven years. That’s impressive in 2026 and was magical in 1995:-)
Price was extremely low and the seat could be purchased new for €150-200. That meant pretty much anyone could afford staying rear facing for a long time.
Seat is very flat around the hip/legs and was often used by us, with extra support, for kids with hip dysplasia even though it wasn’t approved for such small kids. Today we have Maxi-Cosi Opal HD which was not available back then.
There were definitely som disadvantages. TWE lacked support leg and was not easy to install. Difficult to find a good angle for young kids regardless if positioned in front (airbag off) or back seat. No lockoffs on the sides could cause extra slack in seat belt.
As child grows harness is moved upwards which must be done manually by removing parts behind the seat. Completely normal 20 years ago but not seen today.
TWE was always legendary at the crash test facility. One of the strongest seats ever produced and it handled torture in the lab better than most others.
Tough to beat TWE as a travel seat. Sadly not sold since a few years but excellent to bring along trips to third world countries such as Turkey, Thailand, UK, Spain, Greece or Italy where you are provided with a booster cushion for a two year old.

Axkid Minikid 4 Pro in a Toyota Auris with airbag off. Built in angle adjuster in position two and angle is 30-35 degrees. Should not exceed 35 degrees with rear facing seats.
Good view in right side mirror although dashboard protrudes into the car more than usual.
Very easy to attach tether straps under seat rails in all Toyotas. We crossed straps behind seat to make installation mega-tight.

Joie i-Prodigi Pro in a Kia ProCeed. Toddler growing out of his Britax Swingfix but will stay rear facing and his brother will inherit the older seat.
We also try Axkid ONE 3 and Axkid Minikid 4 Max/4 Pro since these are the most compact rear facing seats and front seat won`t be used.
The new i-Prodigi Pro will last rear facing from birth to around age seven or 22.5 kg and is also compact. Joie i-Soren is the same seat but more affordable and will work from 61-125 cm.

Attachment loops in front and back of a Tesla Model Y. This is a must since tether straps won`t fit under seat rails.
We use long loops up front and extra long in the rear. Loops are always installed on top of rails in Tesla.
An Axkid Minikid 4 Max will be used up front but somestimes moved to the rear. Loops then make installation crazy fast and easy.

Two Axkid Minikid 4 Pro in a Volvo XC60. Home delivery with installation, luxury for us since XC60 has built in attachment loops.
Seat up front with airbag off, 30 degree angle, airbag off and built in angle adjuster in position two. Great leg space for older child and awesome view in right side mirror.
XC60 has built in attachment loops, both in front and rear. But loops are tiny and therefore best to reverse direction of straps. This way hook at end of straps will be attached directly to loops under dashboard and installation is much simpler.
Seat behind driver for young child with 35 degree angle, no leg space and built in angle adjuster at position two.

Axkid Minikid 2 in a Tesla Model 3. New car so we are reinstalling a previous seat. Tesla unfortunately has zero room under seat rails so we also install attachment loops.
Installed at 30-35 degree angle and good leg space. Good space up front for child in high back booster with airbag off. After photos we moved front seat slightly more forward for better angle.
#rearfacing #axkid #axkidminikid2 #teslamodel3
Axid Minikid 4 Pro up front with airbag off and an Axkid ONE 2 already in place behind passenger. This is the best and easiest way to install a rear facing seat with tether straps in front seat of a Tesla.
Seat can be installed without loops but it`s complicated and requires expert knowledge. Long loops are used and these can be installed at home, by us or at a dealer. We have a detailed video on our site showing exatly what to do.
Minikid at 35 degree angle with little leg space. Of course easy to attach straps to loops and we also cross straps behind seat for easier and more firm installation. Great view in right side mirror.
ONE 2 in the rear for young child adjusted to 35 degree angle.

Fixing an Axkid Minikid 4 with defective crotch strap. Fairly common repair regardless of brand or model. A serious security issue so seat must be repaired or discarded.
In rare cases there is a defective spring in the mechanism. Issue is almost always dirt in the mechanism which is easily fixed.
Through the years we`ve seen lots of stuff:-) Most common piceces stuck are raisins, popcorn, candy, hair pins, gravel, sand, lint, pacifier or tiny toys. We recently had a large eraser stopping the mechanism from working correctly.
Turning seat upside down and shaking it while pushing the crotch button takes care of most issues. Would likely have worked on this seat with more patience.
Compressed air is very effective but sometimes pieces must be removed to reach the mechanism.

Attachment loops in a VW ID.7. A very common installation but it’s extra interesting for a couple of reasons. Did you know that according to Volkswagen rear facing car seats with tether straps aren’t allowed in an ID.7?! Doesn’t matter if straps are attached with or without attachment loops.
BeSafe Stretch? No! Axkid Minikid 4 Max/4 Pro? No! Klippan Opti 129? No! Britax Max-Safe Pro/Safe-Way M? No! Britax Max-Way Plus? No! BeSafe iZi Plus? No! The best and safest Plustested rear facing seats in the world are according to Volkswagen not allowed. You should throw away your awesome seat and purchase one with Isofix. Of course crazy and ridiculous nonsense.
The restrictions are not only for ID.7 but also for very popular ID.3 and ID.4. Newer models from Skoda (Superb, Octavia, Enyaq, Elroq, etc.) and Polestar also don’t allow tether straps. Volkswagen has around 600 000 employees globally. It would have been nice if one (1) single person in the company had interest and knowledge about car seats. That’s apparently not the case.
This becomes even more interesting since attachment loops are part of the R129 car seat standard since 2026. This is something we in the Swedish organisation TK242 has worked on since 2020 and finally got approved. Shortly car manufacturers will drill one small hole in seat rails where the newly designed attachment loops will be placed.
Should be entertaining to hear VW and others explain that attachment loops can/should be installed but no rear facing seats with tether straps are allowed:-)
What should you do? As usual always ignore idiotic advice.

Axkid Minikid 4 Pro in a Toyota Yaris with airbag off. We are trying seats for a young child switching from an infant seat.
Requirements are good fit both in front and rear. Minikid 4 Max/4 Pro are then pretty much the only alternative since view in right side mirror ALWAYS is acceptable or great.
Yaris is a smallish car and therefore helpful that Minikid 4 is the most compact rear facing seat. We try all positions in the car and it even fits well behind driver in more upright position. Strong!
Installed at 30-35 degree angle and little leg space for young child. Tether straps crossed behind seat to make installation easier.
Very easy to attach straps under seat rails and never a need for attachment loops in cars by Toyota. As usual great view in right side mirror.

Kind of a miracle:-) BeSafe Stretch in a Ford Tourneo Courier with airbag off and good view in right side mirror. We normally only recommend Axkid Minikid 4 Max or 4 Pro in front seat. Not because seats are better or safer, simply because right side mirror always is visible.
It’s a shame Stretch rarely works up front since installation is very solid thanks to the ARB, the bar pushing against back of vehicle seat. Tether straps in an angle backwards doesn’t work with any seat except Stretch which means lots of leg space for child is possible.
First photo with Stretch at 35 degree angle, second photo in upright position and third photo from the side. As comparison, Minikid 4 Pro on fourth photo with 35 degree angle.

Axkid ONE 2 in a Skoda Kodiaq with airbag off. Isofix in front seat is still unusual but Skoda are doing a great job and now have it as standard in many cars.
This will improve since there are now bonuspoints when doing the Euro NCAP crash testing. Very practical with Isofix up front, especially with ONE/ONE 2/ONE 3.
Seat is installed in ten seconds and 30 cm leg space can be provided for child and still plenty of space behind passenger seat.

Axkid Minikid4 Max in a Honda Civic. Installed with 35 degree angle and little leg space for young child.
Plenty of space up front and fairly easy to attach tether straps under seat rails.

Axkid Minikid 4 Max in color Forest Green in a Hyundai I20. Home delivery with installation in this small car. A Tesla Model Y is also available and seat might later be moved.
Angle of 35 degress for young child and no leg space needed. Decent space up front even though car is small.
Very easy to attach tether straps under seat rails. Ignore infant seat in front which is there temporarily and not installed.

Two Axkid ONE 3 in a XPeng G9 which is a large luxury SUV with nice leather interior. A beige Axkid Minikid 4 already in place but best solution for two seats is desired.
We basically try all seats everywhere in the car:-) Behind driver, middle rear, behind passenger, front seat (with and without Isofix), two next to each other, etc.
Decision is ONE 3 due to compact size, easy installation and lasting rear facing for a long time. Current Minikid 4 is kept as a backup.
We always say that ONE 3 is installed in ten seconds even after two bottles of wine. Isofix connectors in this car were extremely difficult to reach and our first install required three minutes. Embarrassing:-)!
Mother fortunately had the magic touch and after a few tries she managed to install in way under ten seconds.
Seat behind driver set to 35 degree angle and little leg space for young child. Driver is very tall and seat is moved far back.
Seat behind passenger more upright and large leg space for child. Still huge space up front for a tall adult.

Attachment loops in a Tesla Model Y. An absolute must for parents using rear facing seats with tether straps in a Tesla.
Loops are very cheap, extra long in the rear and long in front for all Tesla. In Sweden we do lots of installations but you can easily do this yourself by following the detailed video on our site.
In all cars, except Tesla, straps can be threaded under seat rails. In Stockholm (Sweden) Tesla send customers straight to us for loops after picking up a new car.
An Axkid Minikid 4 Max will later be installed which now is extremely simple.

Axkid ONE 2 in a Skoda Karoq. We exclusively use ONE 2 for our rental operations in Sweden for those who prefer a rear facing seat with Isofix.
Lots of people are visiting Sweden and need a safe Plustestad rear facing seat for a week. Common for grandparents with grandkids visiting and parents thankfully have high standards for what`s acceptable.
We often nag about how compact ONE 2 is. And it`s true, no other rear facing seat is this tiny which makes it easy to fit in any car small to large. Despite the tiny size it will handle kids up to 23 kg and around 125-130 cm which is 7-ish years.
Placed behind 185 cm tall driver with 20 cm leg space for child. Very impressive since Karoq is a midsize SUV. Installation as usual ultra-easy and made in ten seconds even after a case of beer.

Axkid Minikid 4 Max in a VW ID.4. Angle around 30 degrees and little leg space for young child.
Easy to attach tether straps under seat rails without tools. Huge space up front, easy to later on provide more leg space for the child.
#rearfacing #axkid #axkidminikid4max #vwid4
Axkid Minikid 4 Pro in a Renault Laguna. A safe rear facing seat is needed when grandchild is visiting from other side of the world.
A very special installation for my friend Peter who is a rockstar in the area of car seats. Not with installations, talking to parents or providing recommendations and instead with improving standards and procedures for car seats.
In Sweden a tiny group called TK242 handle everything regarding safety in cars for children. Peter founded the group in 1989 and has likely saved hundreds of lives during the years. The group stand behind all Swedish recommendations regarding car seats. Lifespan of seats, when to replace after an accident, how long kids should sit rear facing, the prestigious Plus Test together with VTI in Linköping, etc. I say “we” since I’ve been a part of the group for 15+ years.
Seat installed in the middle with 30-35 degree angle and built in angle adjuster in position two for more angle. Sometimes very practical to use middle rear since a rear facing child and four adults can ride in a “normal” car. A little tricky to get tether straps under seat rails but it worked fine without tools.

Just to let you know that the seat arrived safe and sound this morning and we are already loving it.
Although I bought this seat for my 19-months-old daughter, my 4-years-old son absolutely wanted to give it a try and love it. I just wanted to thank you for your great work, we’ll for sure recommend your website for friends who might want to go rear facing.
Just to let you know that we got our MaxWay yesterday afternoon and already install it in to the car. It’s just a great product and our baby seems to feel very comfortable sitting in there; very happy as well as now he can watch by the window. I’ll definitely recommend this kind of seat to other moms here. Once again many thanks for everything.
We received our KLIPPAN TRIOFIX last week and we are very satisfied so far. It’s very easy to install, it fits perfect in my opel corsa and our baby girl seems very happy. Thank you very much for all your help. You ‘ve answered all our questions ,you ‘ve been really helpful,great customer service. I ‘ll recommend your site to all my friends. Thanks again so much!!
