Installation in the car

Base installation
The AXKID ENVIROKID can ONLY be installed together with the AXKID ENVIROBASE. For installation of the base see AXKID ENVIROBASE’s instruction manual.
Installing the AXKID ENVIROKID on the base

  1. Pull the seat release handle until it locks into its extended position. Place the car seat in position on top of the AXKID ENVIROBASE and push the car seat down into the AXKID ENVIROBASE until the seat release handle clicks into locked position and the seat attachment indicator shows green. The base attachment hooks should now have attached to the car seat in both front and rear.

  2. Ensure that the AXKID ENVIROKID is not in contact with any adjacent vehicle seat and that the support leg is firmly clamped to the floor and that the support leg installation buzzer has stopped buzzing.

  3. AXKID ENVIROKID is equipped with a side impact protection system, ASIP (Axkid Side Impact Protection). To install the ASIP, locate the side impact pad connector (H) on the child seat nearest to the car door). Ensure the two triangular arrows on the side impact pad (L) point in the same direction as the triangular arrow on the side impact pad connector (H). Place the upper of the two oval openings on the bottom of the side impact pad (L) over the side impact pad connector (H). Push the side impact pad (L) against the side of the car seat and slide it upwards onto the side impact pad connector (H). You will feel a slight click as the side impact pad locks in place. To remove: push the side impact pad downwards and remove.
    IMPORTANT:
    The AXKID ENVIROKID can ONLY be installed together with the AXKID ENVIROBASE. Do not use any other base or vehicle seat belt mounting. It could lead to the car seat not being properly fastened which can lead to serious injuries.

  5. Press the red harness release button on the belt buckle (E) and release the harness.

  6. Place your child in the car seat. Put your child’s arms in between the shoulder straps so that the straps are hanging over the chest and stomach.

  7. Pull the shoulder straps together and insert the harness tongues connected into the crotch buckle.

  8. Pull the belt adjustment strap (G). It’s important that you always pull the harness straight and central when you tighten the adjustment strap This will tighten the harness and the headrest (B) will automatically slide down to the appropriate height.
    Head Support Brake on Headrest

  9. The headrest on your AXKID ENVIROKID is equipped with a head support brake. This can be used if you want to keep the headrest in a fixed position. To activate the head support brake, pull the harness adjustment strap until the headrest is at the desired height, you will hear a faint “click” sound from the headrest as it locks into position. Check that the headrest can not be pulled down any further and activate the headrest brake by moving the Headrest lock lever (A) across to the right.

Allowed and disallowed positioning of the AXKID ENVIROKID

The AXKID ENVIROKID can only be used together with the AXKID ENVIROBASE which can only be installed rear-facing using ISOFIX.
It is approved for use in all i-Size approved seating positions but may also fit in other non i-Size approved ISOFIX seating positions. Check your vehicle instruction manual to find suitable seating positions or check the vehicle list on www.axkid.com.

Front passenger seat with ISOFIX (no active airbag) YES/NO*
Front passenger seat with ISOFIX (active airbag) NO
Rear passenger seat with ISOFIX YES
Side and rear facing seats with ISOFIX NO
Seats without ISOFIX NO

IMPORTANT: If you wish to install your Axkid car seat in a location where a frontal airbag is fitted, the airbag must be disconnected according to your vehicle manufacturer instruction. Note that some vehicles require an authorized service center to disconnect the airbag.

  • The General Regulation of Traffic in Spain, in its article 117, establishes the prohibition of driving with children of stature equal to or less than 135 centimetres located in the front seats of the vehicle, without exceptions.
    Never install a child restraint in a passenger seat where an active airbag is fitted.

Adjusting the seat

The seat angle can be adjusted in three different positions. This can be done both before the child is seated or with the child in the seat.
To adjust the seat angle:

  • Pull the recline adjustment lever (I) and push or pull the seat to intended seat position.
  • Release the Recline adjustment lever (I) and the seat will then lock in one of the three fixed positions.

If needed, add the headrest insert (K). We recommend using the insert if your child is younger than approximately 18 months to ensure an appropriate fit.

Care and maintenance

  • The seat cover can be removed and washed in a washing machine at 30º C on the “Gentle Cycle” program. Do not put the cover in a dryer as this can damage the cover and the padding may separate from the fabric. Visit www.axkid.com to find videos explaining how to remove and attach the cover.

  • Any plastic parts of AXKID ENVIROKID can be cleaned with mild detergent and water. Do not use aggressive chemicals containing solvents etc, as this can cause damage to the plastic and compromise the safety of the car seat.

  • All materials used in the AXKID ENVIROKID are recyclable and should be recycled as per your local legislation. Ask your local recycling center for advice when recycling this product.

  • Do not make any modifications or alterations to the AXKID ENVIROKID other than those described in this instruction manual.
    Follow the instructions in this manual carefully. Any repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer or agent.

  • If the seat cover needs replacing, ensure only original products from Axkid are used. If other products are used, the AXKID ENVIROKID’s safety system may be compromised and could lead to severe injury in case of an accident.

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 ENVIROKID 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.
