Axkid UP High Back Belt-Positioning Booster Car Seat

Axkid states that the Up conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards, FMVSS 213, and is certified for use in motor vehicles, and describes its ASIP side-impact protection and steel frame for this seat specifically. Compliance with FMVSS 213a for side impact and 213b for updated frontal performance, both mandatory from December 2026, is not stated, and no independent crash-test data for the Up is published.

The user manual states this booster seat conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards, FMVSS 213, and is certified for use in motor vehicles - the mandatory US standard for this product class named directly against the finished product.

The Up's forward-facing limits of 40-120 lbs, 43.3-60 in and 4 years and up are stated consistently across Axkid's own materials, and Axkid sets a service life of ten years from the date of manufacture, with that date printed on the label under the seat. A specific expiration date is not echoed on the product listing itself, only the ten-year figure.

The cover fabric is listed as FR Free and PFAS-Free/PFOA-Free/PFOS-Free/PFC-Free/Fluorine free directly in the product specification, naming the component covered, though no independent lab testing or GREENGUARD certificate confirms it.

Visual indicators, a rigid-LATCH lock indicator and load leg position indicator, and shoulder/lap belt guides are documented in the manual, but no independent test data or review corpus on install difficulty for this specific booster is available; the ADAC usability rating cited applies to the same Up model and supports ease of use.

We queried the complete CPSC recall database (10,002 records, 1973-2026) for Axkid and found nothing filed against the brand in any role. The corpus's coverage of comparable product classes like strollers and cribs confirms the query itself works.

The fabric is specified as FR Free, 100% recycled, and PFAS-Free/PFOA-Free/PFOS-Free/PFC-Free/Fluorine free directly on the product specification for this seat, naming the components covered rather than a generic claim.

Axkid asserts FMVSS 213 conformance for the Up itself and states that this restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and not in aircraft, a finished-product scope statement. No certificate number, test lab report or registry entry is published for the Up, and the named crash-test partners (ADAC, VTI) and the Swedish Plus Test appear only in relation to sibling seats, not this booster.

The fabric is disclosed as FR-free, recycled and PFAS/PFOA/PFOS/fluorine-free, and a Chinese manufacturing subsidiary is named, but country of manufacture for this specific unit, full component materials, and concrete warranty terms are not published; binding specs are deferred to the manual only.
