Axkid One i-Size

The Axkid One i-Size ISOFIX seat is the only one we've tested that allows children to rear-face until they reach 23kg and 125cm. (roughly four years old). It also has the highest limit of height for an rear-facing seat of any we've tested. It's definitely a unique feature and if you're hoping to keep your child rear-facing as long as you can, it's a good idea to consider.

The seat is sturdy and robust It has plenty of room for your child's head and torso. It's designed to be comfortable and features a one-handed recline mechanism, 12 headrest positions, and soft belt padding. It's designed to be durable and can withstand daily use. However, the button and mechanism to tighten and release straps are a bit fiddly. We're concerned that it could become stuck or break over time.

It's also a fairly light seat, weighing just under 10kg, so it's easy to get in and out of the car. It has a handy pocket at the back of the seat for storing items, and it has a built-in sun shade with an easy Velcro strip. It can be easily clipped to the stroller that is compatible, which is perfect when you need to take multiple trips.

The seat's base is Isofix compatible and snaps into place quickly. It also comes with an adjustable support leg that can be adjusted using tiny grey buttons tucked in the rear of the seat. It also has an indicator light to let you know it's secure. The seat slides onto the top, and it comes with a handy handle to lift it out of your car.

This seat has a great feature it can be moved forward and backwards along the base in order to alter the legroom. This means that you can adjust the legroom as your child grows so they can still be able to comfortably walk on their legs even if they're very tall. This is a great feature and it works well as I discovered that with a little practice it took me 30 seconds to get the seat and set up the legroom.
