Installing Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO car seat
in the vehicle
Before installing Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO, make sure you have installed the lower tethers or lower tether anchorages in your vehicle. See section
about Lower Tether Anchorages and Installing lower tethers in this manual for more information and installation instructions.
1
Unzip the zipper and open the belt clamp lid (P).
Place the Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO on the vehicle seat with the back of the car seat facing the front of the vehicle. Adjust
2
the legroom for your child by simply moving the car seat back and forth on the vehicle seat. Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO can
be installed tight against the vehicle seat back but may never be installed with the heel (I) hanging over the edge of the
vehicle seat. Make sure that the vertical line (J) on the heel (I) never crosses the edge of the vehicle seat.
Adjust the angle of the car seat by choosing a suitable recline position with the recline angle adjuster (T). For maximum
safety, choose a position as upright as possible while also ensuring that your child' s head does not fall forward when
sleeping. For both comfort and safety reasons, the recline angle should be adjusted to a more upright position as your
child grows. Note that when tensioning the lower tethers (N), the car seat will be slightly more reclined as it sinks into the
vehicle seat cushion. When installing Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO in a front passenger seat it is possible, but not necessary,
for the back of the car seat to have contact with the dashboard.
Open the belt clamp (O). Pull out an arm length of the vehicle seat belt and thread it through the seat belt slot (D)
3
closest to you. Route the belt through the belt clamp (O) and thread it through the seat belt slot (D) on the opposite
side. Connect the vehicle seat belt with the seat belt buckle and pull hard on the shoulder part of the vehicle seat belt to
remove all slack and to fasten the car seat, the harder you pull the firmer the installation. To give an even more firm and
stable installation, press down on the car seat while pulling the vehicle belt. When the car seat is firmly fastened, close
the belt clamp (O) and lock the vehicle seat belt in position. Make sure that both the shoulder and lap belt is locked
together in the belt clamp (O). Close the belt clamp lid (P) and close the zipper.
Attach the metal clips (L) to the metal clip connectors (K) on each side of the child seat (or connect the metal clips (L) to
4
the anchorages in your vehicle if lower tether anchorages is used for installation. See section Installing lower tethers
in this manual for more information). Press down on the top of the car seat while tensioning the lower tethers (N). By
tensioning the lower tethers (N) you also set the final recline angle of the car seat. Keep pushing down and tensioning
the car seat until it is firmly fastened, and you have achieved a suitable recline angle.
Pull out the support leg (Q) from the car seat. Push the support leg button (R) and pull the support leg (Q) downwards
5
until it is in contact with the vehicle floor. Let go of the support leg button (R) and lift the car seat upwards to further
extend the support leg (Q) until you hear a click. The support leg (Q) should now be locked and firmly pressed against
the vehicle floor. Make sure that the support leg (Q) is angled about 10° towards the front of the vehicle. Check the
vehicle seat belt again to make sure that it is still firmly tensioned and that no slack has occurred in the hip belt while
tensioning the lower tethers and support leg. If the vehicle belt has lost some tension, simply re-tension it by repeating
step 2 of this guide without disconnecting the lower tethers.
Push the ASIP pad (H) into the slots on the ASIP connector (M) and slide downwards, the ASIP pad (H) will click into
6
place. If there is a plastic cover on the ASIP connector (M), remove it and place it on the ASIP connector (M) on the
opposite side of the seat before fitting the ASIP pad (H). Make sure the ASIP pad (H) is attached on the side of the
Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO car seat that is closest to the vehicle door.

Restraining your child in
Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO car seat
Before restraining your child in the Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO car seat, make sure you have the correct inlay installed in the
seat. Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO is designed to grow with your child and to ensure a comfortable and safe fit for the children.
Axkid recommends using the inlay until it is too tight for your child, but to a minimum length according to table below
(note that the age is just an indication):
Age Height

61– 105 cm
0-3 years
Child
106 – 125 cm

The Axkid MINIKID 4 PRO is equipped with an adjustable headrest (A). See section Headrest adjustment for
more information.
Adjust the headrest (A) to an approximate position for your child.
Loosen the harness by pressing the harness release button (E) and pull out both shoulder straps (S)
at the same time. Avoid pulling only one strap at the time since it may cause the shoulder straps (S) to
become uneven.
Unlock the harness buckle by pressing the buckle release button (C) and place the straps outside of
the seat.
Place your child in the seat and place the shoulder straps (S) over your child' s shoulders. Pull and hold
the headrest brake lever (G) to unlock and keep the headrest unlocked. Push down/pull up the headrest
(A) to a position where the shoulder straps are located maximum 1 cm above the child' s shoulders.
Lock the harness by first positioning the parts of the buckle that is attached to the shoulder straps (S)
together, and then push them into the buckle until you hear a click.
Pull on the shoulder straps (S) to tighten the harness over your child' s hips. While keeping tension in
the shoulder straps (S), pull the harness tension strap (F) straight from the car seat until the harness is
tightened enough, you should not be able to fit more than one finger between the shoulder straps (S)
and your child' s shoulders.
