Installing Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX car seat

Unzip the zipper and open the belt clamp lid (O).

Place the Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX on the vehicle seat with the back of the car seat facing the front of the vehicle. Adjust the legroom for your child by simply moving the car seat back and forth on the vehicle seat. Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX can be installed tight against the vehicle seat back but may never be installed with the heel (J) hanging over the edge of the vehicle seat. Make sure that the vertical line (K) on the heel (J) never crosses the edge of the vehicle seat.

Adjust the angle of the car seat by pressing the recline adjustment lever (G) and select a suitable recline position. 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 (M), the car seat will be slightly more reclined as it sinks into the vehicle seat cushion. When installing Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX 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 (N). Pull out an arm length of the vehicle seat belt and thread it through the seat belt slot (D) closest to you. Route the belt through the belt clamp (N) 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 shoulder belt. When the car seat is firmly fastened, close the belt clamp (N) and lock the vehicle seat belt in position. Make sure that both the shoulder and lap belt is locked together in the belt clamp (N). Close the belt clamp lid (O) and close the zipper.

Pull out the lower tethers (M) from the car seat and connect them to the lower tether anchorages in your vehicle, see section about lower tether anchorages in this manual for more information. Press down on the top of the car seat and wiggle the car seat from side to side and the Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX self-tensioning lower tethers (M) will automatically be tensioned. By tensioning the lower tethers (M) you also set the final recline angle of the car seat. Keep pushing on the car seat until it is firmly fastened, and you have achieved a suitable recline angle.

Pull out the support leg (P) from the car seat. Push the support leg button (Q) and pull the support leg (P) downwards until it is in contact with the vehicle floor. Let go of the support leg button (Q) and lift the car seat upwards to further extend the support leg (P) until you hear a click. The support leg (P) should now be locked and firmly pressed against the vehicle floor. Make sure that the support leg (P) 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 (I) into the slots on the ASIP connector (L) and slide downwards, the ASIP pad (I) will click into place. If there is a plastic cover on the ASIP connector (L), remove it and place it on the ASIP connector (L) on the opposite side of the seat before fitting the ASIP pad (I). Make sure the ASIP pad (I) is attached on the side of the Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX car seat that is closest to the vehicle door.

Install the ASIP pad (I) on the side of the car seat closest to the vehicle door. Align the ASIP pad attachment with the ASIP connector (L) and attach it by pushing and rotating it into place.
