Axkid on Gotu.pt: Your Guide to Choosing the Safest Car Seat (Plus Test & R129)
Our children's safety in the car is a non-negotiable priority. In the world of car seats, the Swedish brand Axkid stands out as a true pioneer, especially when it comes to extended rear-facing trips and its approval by the highly rigorous Swedish Plus Test . At Gotu.pt, we are experts in child safety and want to help you navigate the impressive Axkid range, so you can make the most informed and safe choice for your family.
This comprehensive guide will reveal the Axkid models we have at Gotu, compare their features, explain the evolution of some names (such as the MoveKID and the Minikid 4 base), and show why this brand is synonymous with peace of mind for so many parents.
Why Choose Axkid? Swedish Security Taken Seriously
Sweden is recognized worldwide for its high safety standards, and Axkid embodies this philosophy. Its main focus is:
- Rear-Facing for Maximum Length: Rear-facing travel is proven to be up to 5 times safer for young children. It protects the head, neck, and spine in the event of an accident. Axkid designs seats so kids can ride this way for as long as possible.
- The Queens of the Plus Test: Many Axkid car seats bear the Swedish Plus Test seal. This is one of the most demanding crash tests in the world, with a particular focus on the forces exerted on a child's neck—a critical aspect that not all tests assess with the same rigor. Having this seal is a guarantee of top-notch safety.
- R129 (i-Size) Standard Up to Date: Axkid follows the European R129 standard, the most recent and complete, which classifies chairs by height, tests side impacts and encourages rear-facing use.

2. Forward-Facing Chairs and Boosters: The Safe Transition
Axkid and Gotu.pt always recommend rear-facing for as long as possible! When this phase ends (ideally after 125cm or when your child no longer fits comfortably in a RF seat), Axkid has safe transition options.
Axkid Nextkid & Boostkid: Comfort and Safety R129 for Grown-Ups
These booster seats with backrests are for children from 100cm to 150cm tall and comply with the R129 standard. They are typically installed with ISOFIX and the car's seatbelt, providing a good fit, lateral protection, and comfort for older children.
Axkid Up: Pro-Walking Top Adjustment (Pre-Order / With Accessories)
The Axkid Up is a booster seat with a super-advanced backrest, suitable for children from 100cm to 150cm (up to 50kg!) , and certified by R129. Its patented HeightControl™ technology allows for independent adjustment of the seat and backrest height. It ensures the car seat belt always stays in the right place as your child grows. You can install it with ISOFIX and a support leg or with just the seat belt.
Axkid Mate 2: The Simple and Effective Booster Seat
For the final stretch, when your child is already tall enough (125/135-150cm) but still needs that little push to get the belt positioned correctly, the Axkid Mate 2 is a practical solution. We have it with and without ISOFIX.
