Described in the notes

Retailer where seat was purchased will take care of this

id like to know this too!

Remove bolt, place attachment loops in position and tighten bolt. Done!

@@SophieFrosty Remove bolt, place attachment loops in position and tighten bolt. Done!

What is the torque rating on the rear bolts please

We usually use a glue gun

No need to drill, just push it down.

Our advice is to ignore the Britax nonsense and use the seat as long as your child will fit in the seat and don't exceed the 25 kg weight limit. Max-Way and Max-Way Plus are both easily top 5 of the best rear facing seats ever produced. Cheap, light weight, compact safe and Plustested. You will struggle massively to find better seats. The new Max-Safe Pro/Safe-Way M are not better seats but MW/MW Plus are no longer produced.

@@CarSeatSweden Thank you so much!

Max-Safe Pro and Safe-Way M both last the same amount of time rear facing. Seat shell is taller than Max-Way/Max-Way Plus but head support of the newer seats don't really stick ut above the shell. The advice from Britax regarding the older Max-Way/Max-Way Plus should be completely ignored. Use these seats as long as child can fit under head support.

@@CarSeatSwedenThanks for your quick reply!

Extra long in the back and long in front as in previous reply.

These aren't the ones from Axkid, their site says "Total length is 15 cm" (150mm) for the "Extra long" version.

@@nanook1337 Same length, Axkid has made copies of our loops. Depends on how you measure. Please take a look at our detailed photos with measurements on the site.

We always use extra long loops in the rear

Removed with a socket wrench, attachment loop added and then tighten bolt. No Loctite. A five minute job.

@CarSeatSweden can we find the first anchor points that stay within the rail on your website?

@@ionkon All of the attachments loops are found on our sit

No

Loops go under rails.

If harnesser your brand new seat is fraying then go right back to your dealer and ask them to fix it or provide a new seat.

@CarSeatSweden its brand new and already a second seat as the first arrived damaged in transit. They will leave me without a carseat until they receive the returned one, then ill need to wait a further 5-7 days to receive the new one. I've also been told there will be no difference to the new one so it will also fray very quickly

@@roz7158 It's difficult for crotch strap to fray and only after long mis-use. Should otherwise never happen. Also, your retailer should of course ship you a new seat right away after seeing photos and perhaps a short video or the damage which you surely already sent. If not then complain to Britax UK that the retailer is useless.

Not sure what crash test video you are referring to. The seat has passed the R129 testing which is fairly tough. No official ADAC testing has so far been done since the seat is brand new. I know that unofficial ADAC testing has been done and results were good. Testing by ADAC is in general not worth anything since the procedure focus very little on safety.

First, Volvo has attachment loops installed in most countries but often not in US since the seats there are so amazingly poor. Second, Tesla does not have attachment loops from the factory which is why we install these separately.

Don't really understand. Lower tether straps are always attached under the two seat rails. As far back as possible.

You are likely looking at the connector for top tether. This should never be used for tether straps.

It won't unfortunately, because there is no support leg in use in forward facing mode. For forward facing seats you need a third point of anchorage (support leg, top tether, bracing, seatbelt) to prevent the seat rotating forward too much in a crash. There is no comparison of support leg vs no support leg because EU seats with support leg it is usually not possible to fit the seat without the leg. But you can find if you google American comparisons of top tether vs no top tether. The result would be the same and so there would be a very high chance of the child impacting the front seat. Very dangerous.

Good point. I don't think it will be an issue since parents purchasing this seat will know a thing or two about car seats. And must also be able to afford it. We do unfortunately see idiotic parents using our common pure rear facing seats as forward facing seats all the time. Same with infants seats. TinySeats Two should be available as a pure rear facing seat with Plus Test approval next year. Will take care of the issue of harnessing FF but the seat is also then less versatile.....

25X6 mm

@@CarSeatSwedenGreat thanks

You are likely referring to some other repair since no rivet is replaced when changing the harness

Not a problem. We ship globally and seats are there in a few days.

We have parts in stock for our customers

@CarSeatSweden it possible to buy it online?

@@Briseis683 We will be happy to assist you if the seat was purchased from us. Otherwise your retailer will surely take care of this for you.

@@CarSeatSweden I live in Poland. You are far away from me :)

Loops are installed top of rails since Tesla is one of few brands where it isn:t possible to place loops under rails. They might bend slightly under high forces but they will still do their job. In BMW, and other brands, we always install under rails since this is far stronger and also easy. The loops are only a few millimeters thick and the tiny extra height is irrelevant. And we always use the long loops in rear for BMW and they fit perfectly.

Not sure what you mean?

Quite tall driver. Angle of Minikid 3 could be decreased and more leg space could be provided for child if needed. Minikid 3 is together with Axkid One 2 and Britax Max-Way Plus the most compact rear facing seats.

Your retailer will surely be happy to take care of this right away

It's a great seat despite the public information disaster by Britax. Those who are informed about rear facing seats know that Britax are completely wrong. A person in UK was likely asked and had no idea about rear facing seats or the millions of Euros this would cost the company for no reason. There is no official maximum height but Britax are saying that the seat is outgrown when eye level is at top of outer shell. This usually means around age 4 or about 110-115 cm. Have never heard of a 2.5 year old being that tall so hopefully you have plenty of time left. Britax have zero seats offering longer rear facing time and are years behind other well known brands.

Link to detailed photos and explanation in the description.

Not sure what you mean. There are basically zero neck injuries with rear facing children.

Correct. But Britax are wrong and likely asked some person at their HQ in UK who had no idea about rear facing seats.

You can read about the differences on the product page, www.carseat.se/product/axkid-minikid-2-2022-23-sea/ Largest difference is the improved head support which now (again) is a bit smaller and will allow kids to stay rear facing a little longer than previous Minikid 2.

Do you have any videos of how the minikid 2 and minikid 4 fits in a Saab?

Not really..... Injuries on kids in collisions from the rear are very rare. This is why there is so little focus on thes types of accidents. Main reason for the low injury rate is that cars are traveling in the same direction which makes a huge difference. Speed of collision is also almost always very low.

+Rev The same thing unless they car they are in is driving fast in reverse which people don't do normally. The same outcome if they are rear ended as in this video.

It's funny how they don't show the other dummies head moving I hate these videos because they never really show the real thing and I bet you that other dummy wasn't even buckled in correctly so that they can try and sit there and say oh you need to do rear-facing that's the way to go... Blah blah blah. This is the most fake video ever. First of all the one in the front his head barely moved second of all the one in the front I'm sure they tightened all of his straps to make it look really good and loosen the one in the back. I've seen a whole study recently showing that rear facing car seats if you get hit from behind it's way different story and that's why they don't think it's safe anymore. Look it up and that's why you don't see anybody showing back and collisions with dummies collisions cause more damage for rear-facing babies I mean there's a whole freaking study about it.

And they didn't alter with anything in this video including taping the head to the back. The car seat in the front his head would have moved at least a little bit but no it didn't cuz obv they have it strapped down or something who knows I don't understand what everyone's obsession is with rear facing is the way to go. After I seen that study on Google about how back in collisions can cause more damage for rear-facing... Yeah I know and then after seeing these videos and how fake they are and how they don't even strap in the forward facing dummys like what. You can clearly see you're trying to make rear facing look good. Enough is enough. I would do anything just to do my own crash test dummy and actually show the world.

@@Atiba-po9rlstop rambling please 🙏 rear facing seats are usually safer because when you rear ended less force is usually being exerted on your body. If you’re rear ended you are pushed into the seat then wipped forward so overall it is safer in a rear facing seat as there’s always going to be a crash where a certain seating arrangement isn’t going to be the safest. The point is just to minimize it. But for every rear end there is always a head on collision but there isn’t always a rear end for every head on collision

In Sweden, they don't use forward-facing 5 point harnesses. They use rear-facing seats until the child is five or six, and then go to a belted booster as pictured.

It is installed correctly, that is how much a euro standard seat moves around around in an impact.
