Axkid One 2

I was thrilled to buy an ex demo car seat (for my 16 month old so I can ERF until 7 years) as a new one is way out of budget. I asked immediately if the insert was included but a day later I was told the seat would be shipped and the insert would be sent separately at a later date (at my expense). I’d not be able to use the car seat without the insert. I asked for the seat to be shipped to an address in England within 10 days (explained the reason and not an unreasonable time frame) but shipping was left until last minute (a week after payment) and then I was told DPD hadn’t collected so it would never have arrived. Didn’t hear anything for a week until I chased with my address in Northern Ireland (UK) and asked about the insert again. I received a short message back saying it would be £40 for postage. After very little communication over 2 weeks whilst holding my money, all of sudden I received instant replies to my messages. I felt like I was left with little choice but to ask for my money back as I lost faith I was ever going to receive a seat that was safe to use. The customer service was really disappointing. I was being made to feel that because I had only paid £250 for an ex demo seat that I was expecting too much by asking for the insert that would make the seat safe for my 16 month old to use and was being told postage would be £40 adding to the total price of the seat when it could have been avoided if it had been sent on time. At no point did I receive an apology just a flippant ‘let me know your details so I can refund you and get the seat sold again today’.

(I don’t live in Ireland, I live in the U.K. we should add - and am happy to pay postage if I choose to but since I was visiting England I thought it was reasonable to have it sent there to be able to use it during our visit and return with it (for free on the plane). How dare I try and make a cost saving in the current climate. I thought 10 days was more than enough for something to arrive with 1 day DPD but obviously too much to ask. Oh, and even if it had arrived I’d have not been able to use it as it would have been completely UNSAFE without the insert. But thanks for taking the time to reply :) )

Not letting the truth get in the way of a good story here are you, Emma?

Yes, you did purchase the ex demo Axkid one 2 which was never advertised as coming with the insert, why you presumed this, I’ll never know.

When you purchased the seat you failed to mention that you were in Ireland 🧐 which of course changes things as shipping isn’t free anywhere, let alone across the water where the fees are higher. This then meant I rushed around to try to meet your demands of having it delivered to an address in the UK which and it was due to leave, but DPD let us down and it meant it was too late.

Regarding the insert, I did agree to get you one, never did I say you’d have to pay for shipping on that too.

If you’d of mentioned you were in Ireland at the very start and didn’t want to pay shipping we could have worked with this and/or chose to sell the seat to someone else.

Ex demo seats are smash and grab, and we gave you the same customer service we give everyone regardless of the cost. It just seems that you changed the goal posts somewhat and then made demands.

In this instance it was DPD who let us down, not me. If you could of seen how I personally serviced that seat and made sure it was perfect for you, even personally boxing it up and driving it over to my warehouse ready for collection maybe you wouldn’t of written this review.

Take care 🙂

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. I reached out due to the seat breaking (not in an accident literally broke threading a seat belt through) was told they’ll contact manufacturer, perfect. No response so I have to keep coming back for them to either ignore me or say nothing back.

I have then contacted the manufacturer myself and the response time was not well over a month, was actually rather speedy considering. When a customer reaches out you should follow up and help not ignore, would not recommend for overall experience.

Hello Laura.

I can only assume that this review comes after I refused to refund you for a seat that you’ve used for 12 months. Making threats to sue me won’t change the legal rights. You attempted to exploit a loophole which, personally I find a bit embarrassing and something you clearly make a habit of. Messaging almost 12 months to the date of purchase to try to claw back a refund then claiming you’d purchased another seat and no longer needed the seat we had agreed to repair/replace for you. That’s not how a warranty works I’m afraid but I commend your efforts.

You knew you’d get sorted directly with avionaut, hence why you did that anyway. I am glad they got you sorted with your side impact breaking (hardly a broken seat) but never the less I am glad they helped you quicker than I could at awaiting a response from them.

Take care 🙂

Appalling customer service

Appalling customer service.

Purchased a seat back in February. Had a very hard time installing it, asked for help, for her to come out and help me install, just kept giving me remote advice. Needed physical help.

Fast forward to now, having a hard time reinstalling it, refused to come out and help,I explained my disability was preventing me from installing it. Was told that I need to try and install it myself. Have tried for numerous hours to install it. I have done nothing but try! Disabilty discrimination at its finest. Their website says they do home appointments but, was told they only do that if booked prior to purchase!

Appalling customer service because we won’t travel to your home and fit your car seat for you? As I mentioned, we do offer f2f appointments here with us in Stourbridge. You didn’t choose this option at Stourbridge, nor did you ask for a fitting service before you purchased. I have invited you to pop along, but you’ve refused.
We simply cannot travel to all of our customers homes and fit their seats, it’s not logically feasible since we have 1000’s of customers up and down the country.

As discussed, I’m happy to support you and have given you several pointers on how to get the seat correctly installed with minimal effort. It is perfectly
Safe currently, you just need to tighten the belt a little more. My tips seem to go unnoticed.

It’s really important you know how to fit your car seat, we can’t be expected to install it everytime you need that. What happens when you get a new car? Or have to uninstall it for the cars mot? Will you expect us to drive to your home and refit it again? It’s just not practical, I’m sure you can see that.

Still happy to support you, just like we have for the last 4 months! Feel free to message us to pick up where we left off.

Excellent service.

Asked for advice on the best car seat for my baby girl, gave her weight and height and was given a choice of the best seats for her, ordered the seat on Tuesday and received it the following day, the car seat is top class much like the service.

More great service from Sarah!

I just had to write a review for Sarah at safe journey car seats for once again fixing not one but 2 minikid 2s!! She fixed one a while ago for me, which was then replaced, by her after an accident and all has been well for a couple of years until something else broke, same part on both seats 🫣, and they are now both repaired 7 days after first finding the fault on the first seat and reporting it on the Monday! Thankyou so much for that Sarah, my daughter is happy again to have her blue seat back ! Thankyou so much ❤️

Still don't have my item

It has been nearly a month since my order (9th December) and I still don't have the product.

I did have a reply to my message on the 18th December saying there had been a delay in shipping and the orders were being processed however I still don't have it and it still says it hasn't been shipped. I messaged again on the 3rd January and I had an automated response but nothing else until this morning getting an email to review the purchase!!

I appreciate my order is not of massively high value and it has been Christmas but I was not aware I was pre-ordering an out of stock item, was not informed of a delay until I asked and since being told it's in stock have still not had the item despite it being advertised that last delivery for Christmas was after the arrival of the stock

Hello Kayleigh.
Are you able to provide us with an order number so we can look into this for you?
I’m unable to find any messages from your name in the inbox.
It has been a very busy time for us over Christmas and shipments have been delayed because of this.
If you’d like to message the chat via the website we can take a look into this for you.
Kind regards
Sarah

Highly recommend

Absolute life saver Sarah is! I’ve not bought my seats through her but when I was moving my car seat to a different car I misplaced one of my tethers and I needed a new set asap! Sarah allowed me to collect a set of tethers from her house the following morning as she was local from me instead of me having to order online and wait 3-5 days. Highly grateful xx

Fantastic and quick service

Sarah has been fantastic. Literally gone above and beyond.
Was always honest instead of fobbing me off.
Had our car seat fitted by Sarah and she did a fab job explaining and showing us everything step by step. Amazing service. Thank you

Excellent customer service from Sarah

Excellent customer service from Sarah. Her expertise was second to none, and she guided me through the whole process. She also made it clear that there would be the opportunity for future advice with fitting etc which was very reassuring.

Delivery in less than 24 hours and great service!

I had been eyeing up an ERF seat for some time now, specifically from Safe Journey Car Seats as they were a nearby retailer and also had some great prices/reviews so I felt I could trust I would receive an excellent product and good aftercare. I wasn't disappointed at all, I finally bit the bullet and purchased one of the "open box" sale Axkid One2 for an absolute bargain (not that you can put a price on your child's life, it just so happened I saw the advertisement for the sale at around the same time I was looking to purchase anyway!). I ordered the seat around 8am on Monday and by 7.30am on Tuesday it was delivered, which is just amazing service! I messaged Safe Journey Car Seats on Tuesday afternoon for a fit check and they responded promptly which was brilliant.
I bought the Axkid One 2 in Sea Blue and it is absolutely beautiful, excellent quality. I am so pleased!
