Footrests for child car seats

How to ensure your child’s comfort during the trip?

This question was always on our minds during every journey when our kids were small. We made sure to give them the best: a comfortable car seat, a pleasant atmosphere, ... we really tried, but something was always missing.

A car trip with kids can be quite a challenge.

Kids often got restless during the drive. What caught our attention was what they did with their feet – they would kick the seatback or rest their feet wherever they could. We realized they were uncomfortable and didn’t have anywhere to rest their feet. They were feeling uneasy, and we wondered what we could do about it.

Why did we add a footrest to the car seat?

We were determined to make our kids’ journeys as comfortable as possible, because only then could they travel safely. That’s why we added a footrest to the car seat. It only took a few minutes to notice the difference. The kids were calm, resting their feet on the footrest, and we could focus on the road, knowing they were comfortable and safe.

The Okiday footrest is the most frequently chosen by parents.
Here are the features that make it exceptional!

Durability

Kids have endless energy, so our footrest had to be durable. We used lightweight metals and the highest-quality materials. Now your child can stand and even jump on it – it’s almost indestructible.

Worth knowing:

If the footrest is made entirely of plastic or styrofoam, it will wear out very quickly. When buying a footrest, make sure your child will be able to stand on it.

Functionality

We have taken care of every detail. The hooks are easy to attach to the ISOFIX points and detach when needed.

Worth knowing:

ISOFIX points can be hard to reach and regular carabiners are difficult to use, so a slim hook is the best solution. The footrest will be used for many years and it is very important that it is easy to use every day.

ISOFIX

attach to points

Flexible

Upper Plate

Flexible plate?

Yes, because each car seat has a different shape. Only a flexible plate will perfectly fit each seat cushion. This will make the footrest stable.

Worth knowing:

The solid plastic plates that go on the couch can crack when a child bounces in the seat, causing the seat to tip over on bends. They support the seat in the middle, which can cause or worsen motion sickness.

Smooth regulation

We have used smooth adjustment to provide your child with optimal comfort. You can precisely adjust the height of the supports under your child's feet - so that they are most comfortable.

Worth knowing:

Step adjustment is a half-measure, because the child will have legs either too high or too low. After all, we add a footrest so that the child can travel comfortably and safely!

Protection

Against Dirt

Resistant to contamination

The footrest for the seat will be used in various conditions for many years. We have hidden all the mechanisms inside the housing, and the brushes limit the ingress of dirt. This is a guarantee of reliability for years.

Worth knowing:

Other footrests do not have protective brushes, which means their mechanisms can easily become dirty and fail.

Foldable Supports

You can easily fold them whenever you want - a very useful feature. It gives you a lot of space around the footrest, which can be used when the child is not riding in the seat.

Worth knowing:

In other solutions, the supports do not fold at all, or only partially. This is again a half-measure. It is worth having additional space at your disposal - it is simply convenient.

Quickly

fold and unfold the supports

Additional Floor Attachment

Only with our footrest will you have the guarantee that it will remain stable and in place, even if your child stands on it. The floor attachment provides extra safety.

Worth knowing:

Recommended by pediatric rehabilitation specialists

Without a footrest, a child’s legs hang loosely, and they tend to slide out of the seat, especially when sleeping. Their back can rotate away from the seat, which is harmful to their developing bones.

A footrest ensures the child is in the correct and safe sitting position while traveling, protecting their knee joints and ensuring proper blood circulation.

Tested

and Safe

Testy i certyfikaty

We know that anything placed in the car can pose a serious risk, which is why our footrest has undergone strict testing, including crash tests (Reg. 129.3 - DEKRA / TÜV SÜD), durability tests (ISO 27956 - CARTEST), and rollover simulations (ITS).

Guarantee

Too often, the products we bought broke down a week or a month after the warranty expired. This was very frustrating for us, so we set ourselves a goal: our footrest had to last!

Worth knowing:

5 years warranty is proof that we are confident in what we have created. Looking at the warranty, you can easily distinguish a premium product from others!

Post-accident support

Following the best brands and best practices, we decided that we would do our utmost to help you get a new footrest if your current one was in a vehicle that was involved in a collision.

Worth knowing:

Only a few brands and the best manufacturers have such an offer. It is worth choosing a premium product with full manufacturer support.

Why choose us?

The Okiday footrest was created in response to the real needs of children and their parents. It is the result of many years of work, observations and own experiences.

This is the best footrest on the market. With it, every journey together will be comfortable, safe and full of joy.

I recommend it to all parents who take their kids on long trips.
After using the footrest, my son doesn’t complain about sore legs, even after 10 hours of driving. It’s very well made with strong plastic. It’s also easy to fold up when getting out of the car. Highly recommended.

Anna P.

It’s a great footrest.
With a child’s height of 100 cm, they can easily reach the footrest steps while driving. An additional advantage is that kids can easily fold and unfold the footrest and climb into their car seats by themselves, which is a fun activity for them. Highly recommended product.

Monika Z.

High-quality construction, very solid product.
The installation instructions are clear. The footrest even fits a car seat with a leg (it fits between the seat and the leg of the car seat).

Sylwia R.

A great idea to improve travel comfort for kids.
The need to come up with a product connection to the car probably resulted in an unconventional installation, but I give it the highest rating just for the functionality.

Natalia Ch.

Brilliant!
If anyone still has doubts about buying this product for their child, let this positive review, after a long period of hesitation, save your child from discomfort…

Natalia O.

Amazing, we bought a second one for another car.

Christian R.

It’s very solidly made and durable, I have no doubts about it. When removing the car seat and folding the footrest, you can still use the seat without removing the footrest – it doesn’t get in the way and takes up little space.
