Clek Foonf
March 11, 2018
Great look. Sturdy. Good instructions. Narrow.
Pros
  • Toddler loves the unicorn print. Gives her a sense of ownership. She actually wants to get in her car seat. More narrow than any other car seat weâ€â"¢ve ever owned. Instruction booklet was clear and easy to read.
Cons
  • Crotch buckle is not set far enough forward/long enough. Pinches her little legs if we are not careful.

This carseat is a bit of a pain to install the rebound bar you have to place pins in to attach rebound bar and I lost one inside of the car seat base, thankfully my husband was able to get it out and attach the rebound bar. It is a very beautiful car seat it is heavy but very sturdy. It fits better ten my Chicco infant carseat with base I had in my car. I have 3 kids and drive a Cadillac Deville and I fit this with a Clek Olli on one side and my oldest son has plenty of room on the other side. I feel like the middle crotch cover is a bit big on the smallest setting but all in all I love the car seat and so does my baby girl.

Great Car Seat!
March 2, 2018
This car seat is great! We have been using the Clek 2015 Foonf for our older daughter and it's solid, which is why we chose to get the 2017 version for our second daughter. It is comfortable and it allows the kids to sit high enough to see out the window. "The Car Seat Lady" actually recommended this particular car seat due to it's high safety ratings. I would definitely recommend this car seat to anyone who wants a piece of mind when traveling knowing that your child is in a safe care seat.

Luxury Car seat
February 23, 2018
I bought this car seat for a growing toddler. We have the peg perego and hands down this car seat is solid. The fabric is soft and plush. It was a bit of a challenge to ensure the right fit, that would be the only con. It has good weight to it, so its not a car seat that you want to move in and out of cars. I wasnt sure it was going to be worth the money, but it really is.
Pros
  • Plush fabric
  • Solid frame
Cons
  • Adjusting fit
  • No cup holder

Excellent Car Seat
February 11, 2018
We purchased this car seat 3 years ago by the recommendation from "The Car Seat Lady". We met her in person and she recommended it due to it being super safe and fitting in our car. She even showed us and helped us install it. Our 3 year old has been using it for about 2 years now and it has held up very well. She's still rear facing and seems comfortable in that position even though her legs are a little long. The "shadow" color is great because it hides all the spills and accidents that have happened. It's also easy to clean. If you want a heavy duty, safe car seat, then I would definitely recommend the Clek Foonf.

Feels so solid and safe

We are thrilled to have this car seat as it is much for sturdy than our previous one. It also gives me great peace of mind that it is free of the top 5 harmful chemicals found in other car seats. Thank you Clek and thank you Albee Baby for the wonderful price.
Pros
  • Sits the kids higher up so they can see.
Best Uses
  • We can fit 2 of these in our Toyota RAV-4
Cons
  • The latch is a little tricky but we are getting used to it.

I don't like how tall it is
January 22, 2018
I found that the height of this car seat made getting the kid into the car an uncomfortable experience. I also find that its difficult to press the button to release the belts. Overall I am not a huge fan, but there is lots to like as most of the other reviewers have pointed out.
Pros
  • I like the colors. The kid seems comfortable. The straps get twisted less than some other carseats I have used.
Cons
  • Cupholder install is hard / won't stay in.
  • Very tall seat.
  • Release button sometimes difficult to press.

But I love it so far. I have been putting my 10 mo. old in it in the house so that she can get used to it when I switch her out of her current car seat. She seems to love it so far. The color is vibrant! I feel that she will be very safe in this seat .. i did a ton of research before the purchase. It is heavy, but I am sure the weight is comparable to most car seats on the market.

Love these carseats
December 15, 2017
The Clek Foonf is by far my favorite carseat. Its heavy, has a retractable rigid latch system, is super easy to install, is super slim so it fits 3 side by side in my car but it doesnt compromise the amount of room the kids have in their own seats. Down side about this particular 1 is that the seat fabric isnt as soft as the other 1s I have for my other children. Also the bottom harness latch doesnt allow much room for thicker legs or fuller bottoms. The cover also just slides off so you have to adjust it every single time your child gets in the car. I also wish it had the old feature of the magnetic sides to make it easier for kids not to get burned by hot metal when they are trying to get into their seat. Living in a very jot tropical state makes that kind of a necessary luxury especially when the car heats up to over 130 degress on a summer day.
Pros
  • Slim fit seat without childs comfort being compromised
  • Rigid latch
  • Easy install
  • Heavy
Best Uses
  • Families fitting multiple carseats side by side in vehicles
Cons
  • Seat covers arent as soft
  • Not magnetic belt catch like the older 1s
  • Too heavy to move from car to car

We have 4 kids ages 5, 4, 2 and 16 months and are on our 4th Clek foonf. Love these seats! They're so safe and I feel really secure with our kids in them. The 2017 has a major improvement in the shoulder pads and crotch pad from the previous versions. Shoulder pads are bigger and the crotch pad doesn't fall off and is more comfortable. Can fit 3 across our car. Highly recommend!
Pros
  • Safe
  • Sturdy
Best Uses
  • 3-across in a small car.
Cons
  • A little harder to clean because cover not removable

I have the 2015 model for my daughter (she's now 3 & 1/2) and just purchased the 2017 for my son who is 10 months old. We just turned my daughter forward facing because we moved her into the 3rd row of my SUV and I wasn't able to see her as easily, but she still had plenty of room to grow! Love the anti-rebound bar it has as well. This seat is a little heavy in my opinion, but it is easy to install and very easy to use. The fabric on this seat also is very easy to keep clean. My daughters seat still looks brand new.
Pros
  • Easy to use

Works in small cars too...bought Fllo before
December 7, 2017
Bought Fllo before because of size an height issue, Ford Focus hatchback sometimes. With second child, buying minivan and bought Foonf thinking size no longer issue. Did not buy minivan yet but fitting Foonf behind passenger side and Fllo in middle, no issues. Anyone over 5'4" not a chance in passenger seat, however I absolutely love the recline on Foonf and would have bought in first place instead of Fllo, not much taller. Yes heavy but extended rear facing is big for us.

We have 3 children 3 years and under and a midsize crossover vehicle with 2 rows of seating. Therefore, we had to find seats that would safely fit 3 across in our back seat. The Clek Foonf has a slim profile and works great for this purpose. We currently have an infant seat plus 2 of these. They are also very stain resistant and comfortable for our children. We are very pleased with this purchase.

This car seat is incredibly tough. We purchased this as a replacement of our Orbit Baby convertible following a car accident. The Foonf is far better than our previous seat. The fabric is very easy to clean and the width of the seat works very well for my rather thin son. Only drawback is it is so upright that when my son falls asleep his head hangs down significantly on his chest. Aside form that, its heavy and a little tricky to install but once you get it in its pretty great!
Pros
  • Steel
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Tricky to remove and install.

Fantastic Car Seat - sturdy and stylish
October 15, 2017
We are extremely pleased with this seat. Very sturdy, easy to install, and matches perfectly with our sedans interior. The elevated wedge allows our baby to see out the window which she enjoys. She is comfortable and well protected. The anti rebound bar is another nice feature that really locks the seat in place. We have seven children and have tried many car seat brands over the years. We must say Clek has risen to the top of our list. We also use their boosters now. Definitely recommend this seat. It is worth every penny.

Love this seat
October 13, 2017
At first, it was not love. You have to watch a bunch of youtube videos to ensure it's installed correctly and the shoulder pads are bulky...but we were just in a collision and my rear facing daughter didn't even notice! She didn't cry and no bruising, which I figured she would from the crash but none whatsoever (even with no pads) Such a safe seat. And my daughter loves that she can look out the window which I don't know other seats that this is even possible. So glad we purchased and will be replacing with the same seat again.

Installation is pain

We have this seat for a month now and our 1 year old seem to enjoy her ride in her new seat. Installation was very time consuming. One should be very patient. We placed it rear facing on the middle seat of Lexus RX350 as it was most convenient location for a driver and a passenger. Otherwise, we had to move front seats to far forward. Overall, we like it so far. Grey color (thunder) is nice and it looks good in a light grey leather interior.

A little pricey but, even our UPS driver said "you get what you pay for" when he delievered it. Apparently he had one too. I'm not 100% sold on the fabric pattern. I thought it was solid dark grey. But our little guys is safe and comfortable, enjoying sitting higher up then when in the infant seat.

The best car seat
September 17, 2017
I have the 2016 that I've used for the last 14 months for my 2 yr 8 month old and liked it so much I just bought the matching 2017 for my 1 year old. It is very heavy so not the seat to be moving in and out of the car. I recently moved and checked it on my airline and it came back to me unscathed. I have a Hummer and it fits well in it, even rear facing... but it does lean back pretty far in rear facing so I'm not sure how well it'd fit in a car without a roomy back seat. Forward facing is a different story. Right now I temporarily have it in a Honda CRV and it fits well. I don't think there's a vehicle it wouldn't fit in forward facing as it's not very wide. The child sits very high, nearly level with me and I'm above average height. So if it's installed in the center you won't be able to see out of the rear view mirror or window. My daughter loves it and now that she's forward facing I can even recline it while it's installed by a latch on the front which comes in handy when she falls asleep and I'm at a light because I can recline it from the drivers seat. The chest clip does not press into the chest in a restrictive way yet it's still secure... I love this because she doesn't seem claustrophobic in this seat. The upholstery is not removable which was the only downside for me before I actually ordered it but even though we've had accidents nothing seems to stick to this fabric. As a matter of fact I've only wiped it once and it came clean... everything else just disappears. Installation is extensive for rear facing, took me an hour and a half because there's a base and rebound bar that has to be attached and of course the latch system. It's a complicated seat at first so I read the directions thoroughly. But obviously it was worth it and I think anyone spending this amount of money on a car seat is doing it for the unparamounted safety it provides so a lengthy installation is not a con. Forward facing is much much easier and quicker to install with the ridged latch that just clicks in. There were a couple unclear parts of the directions, especially regarding leveling the seat to be horizontal to the ground as well as retracting the ridged latch system which is different than the rear facing latch belt. My first seat came with the ridged latch sticking out and I installed it rear facing that way because there was nothing stating that it retracts into a storage compartment in the seat! I figured it was supposed to be that way because it's kind of a futuristic looking seat haha. My husband randomly figured it out one day while I was switching it to forward facing because we were trying to pull it out and it wasn't pulling out.... well it was already out and not having ever seen ridged latch nor used it we had no clue and we're yanking and yanking when he finally pushed in and then it all became clear haha ... it was pretty frustrating and the directions just weren't clear and they should have been in the section for rear facing as well as forward facing. But nonetheless, it caused permanent indentations in the leather seat because that ridged latch was out and digging into the edge of the seat in rear facing for several months. All in all it's a fantastic seat. It's beautiful, safe, sturdy, comfortable and I intend on using this seat for all my children to come =-)
Pros
  • Sturdy, sits high, comfortable, reclines in forward, beautiful looking
Cons
  • Unclear directions
  • Too heavy to easily travel with or take in and out of car

Stylish, trim and comfortable!
September 6, 2017
My LO loves this car seat - it is trim so you can fit multiple across a back row but the seat is incredibly roomy. Since it does not have a large head rest, my LO is able to easily look out the window even when facing rear. Installation was harder than expected but once it was installed, it has been easy to use. With the base, the seat does sit a little higher so it is sometimes a tight squeeze getting LO in and out of the car.
