Rear facing from birth to four years, locked into the Multimac chassis. The only infant seat built to work with a Multimac.
Be first when it lands. Takes under a minute, and you can unsubscribe at any point.
Most infant seats turn a child forward long before they need to be. The Extended Rear Facing Minimac keeps them rear facing to 105cm or 19.5kg, whichever comes first, and it does that inside a Multimac rather than beside one.
The Minimac locks into the Multimac chassis with a mechanical locking system. No straps to thread, no fitting to second guess each time.
It comes out like a normal infant carrier. Carry straps mean a sleeping baby goes from car to house without waking.
The cover comes off completely and washes at 30 degrees. Which you will need, sooner than you think.
The Minimac sits within the Multimac, which means a baby and up to three older children share one row in a normal car.
The Minimac only works with a Multimac, so the fitting that matters is the fitting of the Multimac itself. It is anchored to the car, not to the seats.
The Multimac is held by two tether straps bolted through the floor of your car, usually using the existing seat belt buckle mounting points under the back seat.
If those mounting points don't exist or aren't suitable, we drill the floor to create our own. We call that a Special Fitting.
Bolts, eye bolts and tether straps are made to specification, safety tested and approved. They are car specific, so tell us the make, model and year. Change cars and you'll need a new fitting kit.
We strongly recommend one of our nominated fitting agents, and you can have your Multimac delivered straight to a garage at checkout. If you aren't mechanically minded, please don't attempt this yourself.
Tether straps can be fitted to several cars so the Multimac moves between them. Each car needs its own fitting kit.
ISOFIX points are not strong enough to hold a Multimac. They must not be used, on any car, under any circumstances.
This is why the Multimac anchors into the chassis instead. It is the reason the system can carry three or four children at once, and it is not a detail we compromise on.

No. The Minimac locks into the Multimac chassis and is designed to be used with it. It is the only infant seat that works with a Multimac, and a Multimac is the only thing it works with.
Yes. The Minimac lifts out of the Multimac like a normal infant carrier and has carry straps. The Multimac itself stays bolted in.
ISOFIX points aren't strong enough to hold a Multimac and must not be used. The Multimac anchors to the floor of the car with tether straps and bolts made for your specific make, model and year.
At 105cm or 19.5kg, whichever comes first, they move into a Multimac seat position alongside their brothers and sisters. Nothing needs to be re-fitted, because the Multimac is already in the car.
The Multimac can move between cars if each one has tether straps fitted. Every car needs its own fitting kit, because the parts are made for that specific vehicle.

The safety case for extended rear facing is settled. The hard part has always been doing it for more than one child at a time.
What ERF actually means, why Sweden has been doing it for decades, and why the legroom question isn't the one that matters.
