Compact quality car seat
June 30, 2020
Love love love this car seat. The Merino wool is perfect for babies who get hot easily as it's temperature regulating but also works perfect for cold weather. Fabric is easy to clean. My baby has already spit up several times and it was a breeze to get everything off. I feel that my baby is very safe and secure in this car seat.

We love it. It’s quite on the big side, width wise. We had to move it behind the passenger side because my husband cannot drive comfortably with it behind his seat. We have a Mazda CX 5 for reference.

Said the year was 2018 but 2019 which was awesome.
May 29, 2020
I searched for months trying to find a good deal on a Clek Foonf and Albee has the best prices by a long shot. I was pleasantly surprised that it was made in 2019 instead of 2018. It was delivered way faster than expected. I was unsure if I was going to like the fabric design, but it’s absolutely gorgeous and I am in love with it. I love Albee Baby and recommend it to everyone I know, plus everyone I don’t know on social media.

May 25, 2020
This is my 4th car seat to own and I have replaced all my car seats now with clek. It is built like a tank and installs securely. The chest straps glide nicely to get kids in and out and the install is very easy! Beware this car seat is heavy! So wouldn’t recommend it for someone having to take their car seat in and out often.

Quality Tank oh I mean Car Seat
May 23, 2020
My child is much more content in his new Clek with the great wool fabric that helps keep him cool compared to his infant seat. This seat is very tall, in our X5 we can have the front seats positioned for a very tall driver just fine, however a tall driver in a sedan might have problems (we haven't moved it to our Passat yet, but it will be tight). This truly is a tank, you can see the steel running through it and it is extremely heavy, once it is in the car it really isn't going to be moved from car to car, we are going to have to purchase a second one. Read the installation instructions, from our research this one appeared to be more difficult than other options out there, but once you have it figured out it's not bad. I did need my husband to help me get it tight though as we prefer to use the belt versus the latches as it has always given us a more secure seat. Overall pleased with the safety, materials and styling.

Clek Foonf Car Seat
May 19, 2020
This seat is built like a tank. I feel completely confident my kids are as safe as can be in this thing. There are some things I wont go cheap on and this is certainly one of them. Installation took a bit onger since it is a little different from their old car seats but once i went through the manual and felt through the releases and adjusted everything for my girls sizes it was a breeze.

STURDY AND SAFE
May 14, 2020
This is much roomier than I had thought and my son loves it! We do need to wait to use it a little longer as his head dangles when he falls asleep. He is just about to turn one and on the small side so we can still safely use our infant car seat for a bit longer until he is better able to fit this. But I am very excited as it is built extremely well and I love that there is a company that doesn't use chemicals in their fabric!

After using the Rachel Zoe Maxi-Cosi car seat for a couple of years, we couldn’t stand the horrible straps (it does NOT tighten!!) and decided to pick up the Foonf. And absolutely LOVE it! You can tell it is a quality car seat and we love how sleek it is. I am able to sit comfortably in the back of our car in between this and the Oobr (another highly recommended car seat!). Love how easy it is to install/remove and oh my goodness - straps that tighten with ease?? Life. Changing.

We purchased this seat for one of my twins when they were 3 months old. We needed to fit three across in my van, and this does so perfectly! The seat is sleek, feels like a tank, and SO easy to install. We now have it forward facing for my older daughter and the rigid latch install was 100% effortless. I would recommend this seat to anyone.

The best
March 28, 2020
I’ve been through every brand of car seat over the years and this has been our favorite by far. It installs easy, my daughter is happy in it, and we can extended read face her. My only complaint is that it doesn’t come with a cup holder. For the price point, it should at least come with one cup holder.
Pros
  • Sturdy, narrow, easy install
Best Uses
  • Great for 3 across installs
Cons
  • No included cup holder

March 12, 2020
I purchased one in a different color for my oldest daughter, and because it was so wonderful I got one in pink for my youngest. So easy to adjust and install in the car. The seat installs sturdy unlik other seats that have to be bound over and over again until your mind goes crazy. I HIGHLY recommend this seat to all the parents! It’s high in price but worth it all. (The seat cover is washable!! I’ve done it twice already and it cleans well, like New!)

  • For all the kiddos!

Sleek and sturdy
March 9, 2020
Best option for warm/humid climates. Fabric is easy to wipe and seems cool very fast. Very straight forward installation and design. The extra lean is truly appreciated with younger babies who just transitioned from infant seat carrier. Really appreciate having the extended rear-facing capacity. And of course, their safety standards seem to consistently place this item in the top of its class.
Pros
  • extended rear facing capacity as well as extra lean angle; leader in safety
Cons
  • head support not the cushiest

Foonf vs Rava
February 23, 2020
We ordered the foonf and the rava (one for one car and one for the other) My husband wanted to send the foonf back for another rava. Rava was easier to install, nicer recline, and no rethread harness. We decided to keep the foonf to avoid packing back up and shipping costs. Foonf also seems like a very high quality seat and we liked the additional safety features.

For Looks Not Comfort
February 22, 2020
My daughters head never fails to slam all over the place. It breaks my heart to see her look so uncomfortable. I had to forward face her car seat a lot sooner than I ever wanted so I have the option to recline more. I feel for this price it’s absolutely not worth it. I bought the Nuna Rava for our second car and MY GOD HOW I REGRET EVER BUYING THIS CAR SEAT :(

  • Sleek
Cons
  • Not comfortable at all. Doesn’t recline enough rear facing.

  • Belly pad slides out sometimes but it?s required & easily tucked back in.

Sturdy and HEAVY
January 20, 2020
This is supposed to be the safest seat on the market and it certainly feels that way. We used a Britax Advocate with our first child and I thought that was the best of the best. This seat certainly is a huge upgrade from a Britax! Not only in safety but in comfort and material quality. We chose this seat over the Nuna Rava because of the anti-rebound bar.
Pros
  • Safety features. Heavy steel frame. Rebound bar.
Cons
  • It would definitely be difficult to travel with this seat or move from car to car. It?s just fine if it stays put in one car. We?ll be using a car seat bag with wheels when traveling with this seat.

My 10 month old was getting starting to get heavier so it became difficult to remove him and the infant seat each time we took him out. I decided to go with the Floonf based on reviews. I love the low side profile making it easy to Buckle him in and out. The design is narrow and is of good quality. I feel much more safe with my baby while driving my sedan.

We bought this car seat for our baby girl and she loves it. I suggest going for the Mammoth wool if you like in hot weather. Here in Florida, the fabric stays cool to the touch which is major plus. Most importantly, we got this car seat for its safety. If safety is your top concern then you won’t be disappointed with this seat.

Safe, solid & narrow
October 16, 2019
I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. It was time to transfer the youngest to a convertible car seat. I knew I wanted 2 narrow seats to fit in my 2018 qx60 behind the driver and in the middle, so that there was an easy access to the third row seats and a spare seat in the 2nd row for when our relatives are in town. There are not a lot of options for narrow seats, so I decided to go with foonf, because it’s the best one. I do not plan to move it, so the weight wasn’t a concern. I’m 5’5” and even though it sits higher than our previous Chicco nextfit zip, it’s still not cumbersome to load and unload the child. Fabric - it feels so soft, and even though we live in Florida, my sons seems to be comfortable, and doesn’t get hot.
Pros
  • Safe
  • No flame retardants
  • Comfortable
  • Narrow
  • Easy install
  • Easy to strap the child in or out
  • Extended rear facing capability
Best Uses
  • Extended rear facing
  • Narrow fit

Safe, Easy-to-use and comfy!
September 29, 2019
We have had this seat for a year and half for my 2.5-now-almost 4 year-old. It takes a little oomph to get installed, but once installed you will be happy. It feels rock solid in terms of safety for our son. He says it is comfortable, and it sits up high where he can truly see out of our car without any trouble. My one recommendation to Clek would be to find an easier-to-access mechanism for parents to adjust the tension in the straps. It is hard to reach as deep as you need to find the lever each time. Though to be clear, that is a minor hassle for the safety and comfort of this car seat.

We love our Clek Foonf car seats! This is our third one and they are definitely the car seats we are most comfortable putting our sweet kids in. My daughter rear faced with no complaints until she was 4. She’s now 5 and forward facing and we love how solidly it installs. We just moved my 1 year old from his infant seat to a Foonf and he is so much happier getting in the car now. He loves that he can see out the window and points at everything he sees. My daughter was pretty pumped that she got a new pink car seat and I was thrilled with the discounted price!

Amazing car seat
September 5, 2019
Putting the car seat together and setting it up took a lot of reviewing the instructions, but once I got it and installed it in my car, it was fine. Adjusting the straps may be a little difficult when the car seat it already installed rear facing, as the seat has to be removed and the latch is pressed against the backrest of the seat of the car. I suggest adjusting it to your baby before you install it in your car. The moment I placed my son in it, he sort of melted. He immediately looked calm and comfy. Not long into the ride, he fell asleep. The merino wool is very soft so I guess it’s really cozy. It is quite large though. We have a Honda Pilot and it is right against the back of the passenger seat, with enough leg room for the passenger. It’s also tall, so I had to move the mirror I use to see my son to the middle headrest. These are all small things but if you want it in a smaller vehicle, it may be really tight. It looks like my son is happy in it, so I’m happy. Plus, it’s very sturdy and safe. Really feels like it’s built like a tank.

Good seat for extended rear-facing
August 28, 2019
We are big advocates of extended rear-facing, so we loved the Foonf. With it, we were able to rear-face our son until he was almost 5. At that point, he was 43" tall and had to switch to forward-facing even though he still had additional height in the shell. Now, other seats can rear-face taller children, so I would consider them as well.
Pros
  • Rigid LATCH install is easy for forward-facing, anti-rebound bar
Cons
  • Lower latch limits are low due to heavy weight of seat, 43" rear-facing height is not the heighest on the market now

Best seat on market
August 20, 2019
We have 2 Foonfs and LOVE them. I’m super diligent about car seat saftey and I feel great knowing my babies are riding in this seat. It lasts though 50 lbs rear facing so my 5.2 yr old is still rear facing in this seat !! 🙌🙌 it is the only seat on the market with the forward facing rigid latch and react system too , as well as having the anti rebound bar for rear facing ! Love these features . My kids are safe and happy newborn through age 5+ and they’re hands down the easiest to install , and the straps do not twist 💃.
