Minikid Core is a belt-installed, extended rear facing car seat (ERF) designed for children from newborn up to approximately 7 years of age, covering 40 to 125cm and up to 28kg. It offers rear-facing safety from day one, a simplified belt installation without tether straps, and a Compact Fit design that works in all types of vehicles. Approved by the Swedish Plus Test and certified according to UN R129, this car seat offers families a safe and simple start to every journey.
Safety
Safety comes first with Minikid Core. The seat is Plus Test approved and certified to UN R129, meeting some of the strictest safety standards. It has also been over-tested with a 2-point vehicle belt and approved to the Swedish Plus Test up to 125cm, ensuring performance under demanding test conditions. Its rear-facing design reduces forces on the neck and spine in frontal collisions, whilst the support leg, adjustable anti-rebound bar and side-impact protection work together to create a stable and protective environment. The anti-rebound bar offers four settings and can be extended to provide additional legroom when needed. With durable construction and well-engineered safety features, it delivers reliable protection in modern vehicles.
Longevity
Minikid Core is designed to support your child throughout their early years. Approved from 40 to 125cm and up to 28kg, it offers extended rear-facing (ERF) travel from birth to approximately 7 years of age. This is a car seat with an adjustable 8 position headrest, and the included infant insert provides the correct support from the start. As your child grows, the generous seating area and long back length help maintain a comfortable and safe rear-facing position for as long as possible, following the safest recommendations.
Handling
Minikid Core is made to simplify your everyday routines. The open and spacious seat design makes it easy to place your child and secure them quickly and safely with the internal harness, whether you are heading out for a short errand or a longer journey.
The seat also offers two recline positions, giving younger children a comfortable sleeping position whilst allowing older children to sit more upright and reduce the space the seat requires in the car.
Installation
This rear-facing car seat is designed for a simple and intuitive installation. The belt installation works with the support leg and adjustable anti-rebound bar to create a stable fit, with no tether strap requirement, making it ideal for families who move the seat between vehicles.
The integrated SafeLock™ system keeps the vehicle belt firmly in place, ensuring a dependable installation in just a few minutes. This combination makes Minikid Core one of the simplest belt-installed rear-facing car seats for cars without ISOFIX, whilst still fitting perfectly in vehicles that do have ISOFIX since it installs with the seatbelt.
Design
With a clean Scandinavian approach, this seat blends naturally into everyday family life. Its slim profile and Compact Fit design means it is suitable for small cars, vans and work vehicles, offering valuable space efficiency where every centimetre counts. This Compact Fit concept allows for placement in all positions in the car, giving families maximum flexibility.
Durable materials, a strong seat shell and soft, washable fabrics help keep the seat comfortable and fresh over time. The design is available in two timeless colours that suit any interior.
Comfort
Comfort is essential for extended rear-facing. This seat includes DualRecline with two installation angles to help achieve a safe and comfortable position, even in cars with upright rear seats.
The spacious seating area supports natural posture as children grow, whilst soft materials and an ergonomic shape create a calm environment for longer journeys.
