This seat is approved to 125 cm. In Sweden and Spain the requirement ends at 135 cm; in Portugal it ends at 135 cm or the twelfth birthday, whichever comes first. Italy runs to 150 cm, so a booster is still needed there.

Seat: Axkid, UN R129. Sweden: Trafikförordningen (1998:1276) 4 kap. 10 §. Spain: Reglamento General de Circulación, art. 117. Portugal: Código da Estrada, art. 55.º. Italy: Codice della Strada, art. 172.

As the child grows

Your subscription

Elsa has reached the top of her seat

At 125 cm she's at the approved limit of the Minikid 4. Swedish law still requires a restraint below 135 cm, so she needs a booster next — not the belt on its own.

41 subscribers are in the wrong seat

Every height update you record is re-checked against the rules for that child’s country. Three groups came up this month.

All three need a different seat, today

Not a reminder and not a sales email — each one is a child whose current seat no longer matches what the law asks for.
