Restraining your child in Axkid SPINKID car seat

Before restraining your child in the Axkid SPINKID car seat, make sure you have the correct insert installed in the seat. Axkid SPINKID is designed to grow with your child and to ensure a comfortable and safe fit for the child. Axkid recommends using the insert 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|
---|---|---
Infant 0-1 years| 40 – 75 cm|
Toddler 1-3 years| 76 – 105 cm| No insert

  • Push the rotation button (S). Rotate the child seat until it locks into its outmost position.
  • Loosen the harness by pressing the harness release button (K) and pull out both shoulder straps (F) at the same time. Note: Avoid pulling only one strap at the time since it may cause the shoulder straps to become uneven.
  • Unlock the buckle by pressing the buckle release button (G) and attach the buckle connectors on top of the magnets located on the seat rim.
  • Pull the headrest adjustment button (A) and slide the headrest upwards or downwards until the eye level indicators (B) are in line with your child’s eyes.

  • Check that the shoulder straps (F) are going through the seat straight from your child’s shoulders or maximum 1 cm above. You might need to adjust the headrest (C) again, even if it makes the eye level indicator get out of line with your child’s eyes. Now pull on the shoulder straps (F) to tighten the harness over your child’s hips. While keeping tension in the shoulder straps (F), pull the harness tension strap (J) until the harness is tightened enough.

Recycling your car seat
Axkid strongly recommends recycling of old car seats. Before leaving the seat at your local recycling station cut off the harness straps from the seat, remove the textile cover, remove as many Styrofoam parts as possible, separate metal and plastic parts if possible. The main part of the seat should be marked unsafe or expired (use a marker) to deter anyone from using it again. Please check your local municipal guidelines for recycling instructions for the different materials.

Warranty

The Axkid car seat is covered by a 24-month warranty from date of purchase. Ensure you save your receipt and bring it to your place of purchase if you have any warranty issues the warranty does not cover.

  • Normal wear and tear.
  • Damage due to incorrect use, neglect, or accident.
  • If repairs have been carried out by a third party.
  • All materials used have a very high UV-resistance rating. However, UV-light is very aggressive and will ultimately lead to fading of the seat cover. This is not covered by our warranty as it is considered normal wear and tear.
  • Handle the seat with care. Never carry the seat by holding in the headrest.
