Maxi-Cosi AxissFix Toddler Car Seat, Swivel Car Seat, 4 months - 4 years, 61 - 105 cm, Authentic Graphite

Product Information

Yesterday we went down to the Transport Research Laboratory to look at the brand new Axissfix Air; the world’s first car seat with built in airbags and see the 2-year long journey Maxi Cosi have taken to develop this innovative car seat.

Headrest with high performance impact-absorbing material for extra protection in case of a lateral impact Now, as with everything new, we know you will have a few questions about this new technology so below we have some of the most frequently asked questions but if you have any more, just shout!Without the newborn inlay, it's approved for use from when your baby measures 61cm in height, which is around 3-4 months.

Just like other car seats in the Axissfix family, the Axissfix Air is suitable from 4 months old and is to be installed rearward facing in your car using the Isofix and top tether connection. The Axissfix Air allows rearward facing travel up to 87cm which is approximately 2 years old and after this age, the seat will rotate to a forward-facing position to be used to 4 years old. You can also rest assured that the Axissfix Air complies with the latest iSize legislation and in the rearward facing position, your little one is as safe as possible. So, what is different about this seat? On the occasions when my son has a tantrum about getting in the car, the swivel on the chair makes it much easier for me to get him in the car and strapped in. I don't have to step into the car any more! Maxi-Cosi is a popular brand with parents, and many of its models can be used with pushchairs to create a travel system. They can even be used with other brands of pushchair, so long as you have the Maxi-Cosi car seat adaptors. Can I recycle a Maxi-Cosi car seat? This is an extended rear-facing car seat that can be used from birth (with the Comfy Baby-Hugg Inlay, sold separately) until your child is four years old (or 105cm). At Maxi-Cosi we have carried over 50 million babies home from the hospital. For us, your child’s safety is Bébé Confort’s top priority. External crash test centres, such as the German automobile organisation ADAC (Allgemeneir Deutscher Automobil-Club), tested our AxissFix on dynamic safety and ease of use, rating it as good.This Maxi-Cosi AxissFix Car Seat i-Size seat offers the choice of seating direction – either rear-facing from four months until two years (61–87cm), or forward-facing from 15 months to four years (88–105cm). It’s secured using ISOFIX connectors and a top tether. Our testers highly rated this seat’s 360° rotating feature, finding it ideal for toddlers. Tested by Aisling Alsopp, 28, mum to Monty, four months. From birth to 4 years there is no question that the safest way for your little one to travel is rearward facing however what about when this isn’t possible? Our children are our most precious cargo and as a brand who put children at the forefront of innovation, Maxi Cosi are constantly working hard to develop the way children travel and whether that be forward or rearward facing, they endeavour to make this as safe as possible. AxissFix offers an easy and safe ISOFIX installation, and its Top Tether system makes the installation even more secure by reducing forward movement. The indicators notify you when the ISOFIX installation and Top Tether tensioning are correct. The impact-absorbing material in the headrest of AxissFix car seat provides your little one with extra protection.

However, this will depend on whether your local recycling centre has facilities to separate hard or rigid plastics from other materials. It's worth calling the local recycling tip to see if it offers this service, otherwise it may have to go into landfill.She says: “I like this seat’s compact design, and the fact it doesn’t need a cumbersome ISOFIX support leg. One of our cars isn’t compatible with the securing tether system, though, so be sure that yours is. The cord that is used instead is annoying and Riley keeps fiddling with it, so it’s best used forward facing. However, it’s easy to install, and even rotates when it’s reclined.” Tested by Dawn Geddes, 35, mum to Beth, three years.

Don’t forget that the Axissfix Air can rearward face to approximately 2 years old which we would always recommend however when tested forward facing against other Maxi Cosi forward facing seat, the Axissfix Air is 55% safer. She says: “This Maxi-Cosi AxissFix Car Seat is easy to install and takes up less space than many others because there’s no ISOFIX leg to anchor. It looks gorgeous too, and the rotating feature is amazingly easy to use. However, the shell is so much smaller than the other seats tested and I wonder whether it will really last until my child is four years old.” Tested by Laura Allen, 36, mum to Riley, 15 months.Read our full Maxi-Cosi Morion review to see if it impressed in our front and side-impact crash tests.
