One of the biggest mistakes I see parents make is choosing their child’s next car seat based on age alone.

“She’s 15 months now.”
“He’s nearly 4.”
“They’re starting school.”

The problem? None of those things tell me whether a seat is actually the right fit.

When I recommend a car seat, I look at three things:

📏 Height centile
⚖️ Weight centile
🚗 Vehicle compatibility

Because a tall child may outgrow a 105cm seat much sooner than expected.

Because a heavier child may be better suited to a seatbelt-installed seat with a higher weight limit.

Because not every seat fits every car safely, even if it looks like it should.

The safest car seat isn’t the most popular one.
It isn’t the one your friend bought.
And it definitely isn’t the one chosen based on age alone.

It’s the seat that fits your child and your specific vehicle properly.

Not sure what’s next for your little one?

📩 Send me your child’s age, height, weight and your car make/model, and I’ll point you in the right direction.

If you’ve been putting off extended rear facing because you think the installation looks complicated, watch this.

The Axkid Minikid 4 Max is fitted using your vehicle’s seatbelt and lower tethers, but Axkid’s self-tightening tether straps do most of the hard work for you, removing slack as you push the seat into position.

✅ Rear facing to 125cm / 36kg
✅ Swedish Plus Tested
✅ Fits a huge range of vehicles
✅ Excellent legroom
✅ Installation made simpler with self-tightening tethers

At some point in parenthood, someone will tell you that rear facing is only for babies.

They’ll tell you their child turned forward facing at 9 months and was “absolutely fine”.

They’ll tell you children are uncomfortable rear facing.

They’ll tell you their legs are too long.

Last month I stood inside the VTI crash testing facility in Sweden and watched exactly what happens in a crash.

The reason rear facing is recommended for longer isn’t opinion. It’s physics.

In a collision, a rear facing seat supports the child’s head, neck and spine, spreading crash forces across the strongest parts of their body. A forward facing child experiences significantly higher forces through the neck.

That’s why Sweden has some of the lowest child road fatality rates in the world.

And it’s why extended rear facing seats exist.

So when someone tells you rear facing is only for babies, remember they’re sharing an opinion.

The engineers, crash test data and decades of research say otherwise.

Have you been told your child is “too old” to rear face? 👇

I’ve tried a lot of baby carriers over the years, but this is the first one that’s genuinely made me think:

“Why hasn’t anyone done this sooner?”

The new Voksi Huddle is designed to go on like a jacket, making babywearing quicker and simpler for busy parents.

I travelled to London this week to learn more about it and get hands-on with the carrier myself, and I can already see why so many parents are excited about it.

What do you think… would you try a carrier that zips on like a jacket?

Comment HUDDLE and I’ll send you over the link.

👀 Keep an eye on the page too. I may have brought something home from London that you’ll want to win…

Three genuinely different Axkid car seats. Three different reasons parents choose them.

🔄 Axkid One3
The easiest installation, everyday convenience, and rear-facing up to 125cm/23kg.

🛡️ Minikid 4 Max
The longest-lasting rear-facing option in the range with exceptional legroom and approved up to 125cm/36kg.

💰 Minikid Core
All the essentials of a great rear-facing seat without lower tethers and taking up less space!

The “best” seat isn’t the same for every family. It depends on your child, your car, your budget and what matters most to you.

Which vibe are you? One3, Minikid 4 Max or Minikid Core? Let me know below 👇

This week at the BeSafe VTI safety event in Sweden, we were shown the data comparing rear facing vs forward facing in real crash scenarios… and honestly, the difference is huge.

Rear facing can mean:
→ up to 6x less force on the neck
→ less stress on the rib cage
→ up to 5x lower rotational forces on the brain

Because a rear-facing seat supports the ENTIRE head, neck and spine, instead of throwing those forces forwards into a child’s still developing body.

That’s why I talk about extended rear facing so much.
Not to scare parents.
Not to shame anyone.

But because once you see the research and crash testing behind it, you can’t unsee it.

The legal minimum was never designed to be the gold standard of safety. It’s the minimum.

And every parent deserves to know they have safer options 💜
