Which seat is affected?
The recall covers the Axkid Minikid Core, a belt-fitted, extended rear-facing seat for children from birth to about 7 years old, from 40cm to 125cm tall and up to 28kg.
To check yours, look at the product label underneath the seat for the Car Seat ID. It starts with "E9". Use the Car Seat ID, not the sales number on your receipt.
Why has it been recalled?
The government notice says the seat "did not achieve the level of performance required under the manufacturer's own safety standards". Axkid says later testing found a result below its own, stricter standards, and that the seat still meets the legal requirements, including UN Regulation No. 129 (R129). It has not published the test figures.
What should owners do?
- Find the Car Seat ID on the label underneath the seat.
- Take a clear photo of the label showing the ID. Axkid asks for a photo of the label, not of the whole seat.
- Fill in the registration form on Axkid's product safety page with your contact details, the ID and the photo. This applies even if you bought the seat from a shop.
- Axkid says you should get replacement details within one to three working days.
The replacement is an Axkid Minikid 4 Pro at no cost. Axkid also plans an updated Minikid Core later. It is not offering refunds. Questions go to Axkid customer service at customerservice@axkid.com.
Recalls on the car itself are a separate matter. Our free vehicle recall check shows whether a car has an outstanding safety recall.
