Safety made easy. With Minikid Core, everyday rear-facing feels simple.

Here are a few key features we’re especially excited about:
💛 DualRecline™ – a unique 2-step recline base that lets you adjust the seat angle for better comfort and positioning as your child grows.
💛 SafeLock™ – an enhanced belt clamp system that keeps the vehicle belt firmly in place for a secure and stable installation.
💛 CompactFit™ – designed to take up minimal space, making it easier to fit in small cars or even three seats across.
💛 Swedish Plus Test approved – one of the world’s toughest crash tests.
💛 Certified to UN R129 and over-tested to ensure compatibility across a broad range of vehicle types.

Ask me about the New Minikid Core, you know you can trust my review 🥰

In this for you, not for profit ❤️

Something new has joined the Minikid™ family. 💛

We’re introducing Minikid Core, a simplified addition to our rear-facing platform, designed to make extended rear-facing more accessible for more families.

Minikid Core – easy to install, flexible to move between cars, approved from birth.
Minikid Pro – a narrow design with generous legroom that supports rear-facing for as long as possible.
Minikid Max – our most advanced version, like PRO but with added comfort features, available in 5 beautiful colours.

We’ll be sharing more about Core in the coming days. Stay tuned.

The very exciting Minikid Core is here and it DOESN'T HAVE TETHERS 🙌

Today Axkid have launched a seat created to simplify everyday rear-facing travel. The Minikid Core is built around one clear idea: safety should not feel complicated. With belt installation, a compact design and features developed to adapt as your child grows, it’s designed to move easily between cars and fit into real life.

As part of the Minikid range you know and trust, it meets high safety standards, including Swedish Plus Test approval and certification to UN R129, supported by extensive internal over-testing.

Kia here!

I'm sorry for the radio silence. I'll be honest, things became a little overwhelming whilst I tried to find a new life balance for my children and I this year. We had some unexpected hurdles with my personal situation some of you know about.

Letting go of the shop was painful, albeit necessary. I lost my spark and my head was preoccupied with creating a safe and stable home.

There's a long road ahead, but I have been here in the background. I wanted to thank everyone for the orders that have been keeping me going.

I have now had a couple of months trialling online appointments and am really pleased to say that my standard of teaching and care is still very much achievable via video calls.

Therefore, please help me share this post so everyone knows I'm still available. I'd love to build up a community online, so please do join our group.

Book online, order for delivery and I'll still be here for you.

Thank you so much for the love and support for my boys and I.

Kia 💖

A message from Kia to all of our wonderful customers, followers and supporters:

It is with a heavy heart that I write this.

What started as 'this will never work' project full of passion in the middle of lockdown, became something amazing and you were all a part of it.

Everyone who has met me will know that I wear my heart on my sleeve and also that with my ADHD, I overshare!

I have been publicly mocked by competitors for doing it, but I never let it change me. Cariad Babi was always meant to be REAL. One parent to another. So I'm going to end this the same way I ran it.

Behind the smiles and the scenes of the incredible work myself and my team were doing, I was battling some big battles. From serious health conditions, to domestic abuse, and SEN children, I've really had a hard time.

I worked 6 days a week, including weekends and missed out on important family time. Whilst packing up my entire life and battling courts, I stayed the course and gave everything I could.

And I loved it. This isn't a complaint or a pity post. What I'm getting to is, the community I wanted to build, became a community I very much needed. However, I have today, closed the shop.

I am so very grateful for every one of you, for those who tagged me, recommended me, shopped with me, supported me and knew my personal life. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

And don't panic, the shop may be gone, but I'm not! I'm working remotely, around my children. We have a lot of healing to do now that we are free from the difficulties we were hiding before. It's just my boys and I now, and we need some rest.

I will be here, supporting you. The sling library will be postal (I can't give you my address as it is court protected). The eco store will be online. The consultations and car seat advice session will be virtual. My aftercare will be by video.

I'm not ready to say goodbye completely, so please do stay with me and my boys just a little longer as we prepare for this next amazing adventure.

Shop and book online as normal and my boys and I will lovingly pack your products and dance our way to the post office.

Once more: thank you. Thank you SO much x
