Recaro’s Axion 1 is already known for its outstanding safety credentials - and now dressed in a limited edition Pepita fabric, it sets a new benchmark in car seat design.
🧪 Top‑Tier Crash Test Performance
In ADAC’s Spring 2025 child seat test, the Recaro Axion 1 earned an overall score of 2.1 (“good”) - earning first place among booster seats for children aged roughly 4 to 12 years (100–150 cm).
Here’s how it performed in key areas:
Safety:
-
Very low risk of injury in side-impact crashes
-
Average risk in frontal crashes
-
Stable fit in the vehicle with optimal belt routing
Ease of Use:
-
ADAC rated operation highly (1.7), citing a very low risk of misuse, easy installation (including ISOFIX), simple seat adjustment, and high-quality materials.
Ergonomics:
-
Comfortable padding, generous legroom, spacious seating, and good outward visibility for the child; slightly higher space requirement in narrow cars.
Pollutants:
-
Scored the top mark (1.0) for very low chemical content, including PFAS - earning a “very good” rating in that category.
In summary: a robust, easy-to-use booster with excellent crash protection - combining real peace of mind with premium styling.
🧵 Pepita Fabric: Heritage Motif, Modern Appeal
This edition’s highlight is its head‑turning Pepita (houndstooth) fabric. Inspired by classic motorsport and vintage race-line interiors, this design elevates the Axion 1 beyond utility - making it a statement accessory for motorsport families.
