IPAI MINI
Car Seat

The versatile car seat for complex needs in a more compact size. AuSAP logo

 

The IPAI MINI is a specialised car seat designed for children who need more support than a standard booster can offer, in a compact size suited to smaller users. With tilt-in-space, recline, adjustable lateral trunk supports and a 5-point harness, it helps maintain a safe and comfortable posture during vehicle travel. A 90° swivel base, ISOFIX installation and tool-free adjustments make transfers and everyday use easier for families and caregivers.

About
IPAI MINI

The IPAI MINI Vehicle Seat is a special purpose car seat for children who need more support than a standard booster can provide. It offers growth-adjustable postural support for children approximately 100–125 cm tall. For a broader growth range, the IPAI MAX Car Seat is also available, and a conversion kit allows the IPAI MINI to be upgraded to the MAX configuration as the child grows.

A 90° swivel base assists with transfers by rotating towards the vehicle door before locking securely for travel. Tilt-in-space, stepless recline and integrated lateral trunk supports promote aligned, supported posture, while tool-free tilt and ISOFIX depth adjustments make positioning simple.

An integrated 5-point harness with reduced-access buckle supports children at risk of unbuckling. Modular accessories, including foot supports, medial thigh supports, seat depth extenders and an upper limb support tray, allow the seat to be tailored over time.

The IPAI MINI is crash tested to ECE R129 and assessed through AuSAP for safety confidence.

 

Clinical
Benefits

Designed for children who would benefit from:

  • Enhanced postural support in the vehicle: Tilt-in-space, recline and lateral supports to help maintain midline posture and head control.
  • Improved pelvic and trunk stability: Lateral trunk supports and 5-point harness help maintain a stable, aligned sitting position.
  • Optimised comfort on longer journeys: Tilt and recline options can help with pain, fatigue, tone and endurance.
  • Support for behaviours of concern: Reduced-access/anti-escape buckle and integrated harness help reduce the risk of unbuckling or leaving the seat.
  • Adaptability for growth: Back height, seat depth and padding can be adjusted over time, reducing the need for frequent seat changes.
