Love the quality & safety features!
July 14, 2017
I absolutely love that this carseat allows rear-facing to either 50 lbs or 43" standing height. I also love that it's a narrow seat which makes 3 across easily doable as well as comfortable for passengers next to it. A great feature that not many other brands have is that it has an antirebound bar. My only gripe would be the weight of the carseat; it definitely should not be a travel seat. We took it through the airport on the go go babyz travelmate deluxe, wheeled it down the aisle of the plane with ease but carrying it and installing it on the plane was crazy tight. Not to mention it doesn't fit in small cars well especially when you have to install it more upright which isn't ideal if your kid still sleeps in the car. Other than it not being a good travel seat, I've still recommended this seat to ppl with roomy cars and those friends loved them.

Nice looking and safe seat
June 15, 2017
I originally ordered a Clek Fllo because I need to fit 3 seats (two convertible and one infant) in the back seat of my Honda CRV. This seat is one of the narrowest available at only 17" wide. I installed the Fllo without the rebound bar because of space issues - with the rebound bar attached, front passenger would have little leg room. My daughter likes riding in it because she can see out the window really well - the Fllo puts your child up high. It is easy to install once you've done it a few times. I really like the seat belt lockoff - it makes the seat super stable. I liked it so much I ordered a second Fllo for my other daughter to use front-facing.
Pros
  • Attractive design, cool colors, soft fabric, narrow seat
Cons
  • Heavy, pricey

I love this carseat. The construction and safety was extremely important to me when selecting a seat for my daughter, and this one fits the bill. It is large, but thats the idea: I know she will be rear facing in this seat for a while. Worth every penny.

We are on the Clek bandwagon and there's no turning back. Sleek design. Awesome colors. Super easy and snug install. But most importantly-- safety safety safety. Published crash ratings. And no chemicals on fabric. I'm sold. Just bought 4! Thank you Albeebaby. Great service.

Beautiful car seat, though not sure about the fabric
April 2, 2017
I have had 5 Clek Fllos (so obviously am a fan), with 3 different seat material. The material of the Special Edition Paul Frank was like felt. The material from a 2016 Fllo (Ink) and a 2017 Fllo (Flamingo) was a slightly nubby material, which is hard to describe, perhaps like a boiled wool. The 2017 Thunder is a somewhat slick material, like a scotch-guarded ski jacket or a high quality shower curtain. I'm guessing the Thunder may be a bit easier to keep clean (though I haven't had to clean it yet), and the material doesn't make a tremendous amount of difference to my daughters since they typically have pants and long sleeves. I love the color and pattern of the Thunder, though.
Pros
  • Excellent safety construction
  • Able to install 3 in a row, or two with one seat in the middle position
  • Easy to get a secure fit with the straps
Cons
  • Strap release button is a little more recessed than I would prefer
  • LATCH installation is a little less intuitive than other seats (though I prefer using the seat belt anyway)

Great car seat!
April 2, 2017
I'm currently using a Diono Pacifica and Clek Fllo. I have two girls in convertibles right now, and it's great to be able to put one seat in the middle position so that an adult can also sit in the backseat. Previously I had a Britax Advocate when my oldest was an only child, but replaced it with a Clek Fllo when baby #2 came along and we needed the two car seats in the back. I strongly prefer the Clek Fllo to the Diono Pacifica due to the poor strap and chest clip design of the Diono. The Clek straps are easy to get a snug fit, while I can just barely get the Diono tight enough to be considered adequate. The bright pink of the Flamingo is a little much at first, but my oldest likes it, and it's grown on me. The seat is not light, but reasonable for what it offers.
Cons
  • The seat belt release button is set a little far back, so you for those with small hands, it can take a little effort to reach in and release. Not a deal breaker, but I wish it were a little easier.

We were happy to find a green guard certified car seat. I love the 'capri' color. My son is happy to sit in this seat and can easily fall asleep in long trips.

My 3 year old son actually prefers riding rear-facing but he is tall, so we had a hard time finding a seat that would work for him. Enter the Fllo - which fits him perfectly.He likes the additional padding and great colors. We appreciate that dirt wipes off the crypton fabric pretty easily (but it is showing a few spots). We also like that it is pretty easy to strap him in (unlike many other seats we've tried).Installation was not nearly as difficult as we'd feared based on other reviews and he loves it. We're hoping this one will last us a while!
Pros
  • Extended rear-facing for taller kids. Great colors.
Cons
  • Big. It is smaller than the Foonf, but still makes it very hard to see out the side or back windows -- even in my minivan.

Wonderful Car Sear
April 6, 2016
This car seat is wonderful. I love that our little one seems so safe and secure in it. Its a little bulky in our Subaru I'mpreza pushing the passenger seat very far forward. I like the extended rear facing with this seat and I hope to rear face as long as possible.
Pros
  • sturdy
  • comfortable

Sleek design and a wide seat! The fabric is so comfortable too. The install was simple with the enclosed instructions, very happy with this car seat!
Pros
  • Great fabric, beautiful color, rebound bar, high rear facing limits, intelligent design, easy to use, skinny for three across, long lasting, low sides, smooth harness adjuster
Best Uses
  • In the car, extended rear facing, according to the manual!
Cons
  • Detailed instructions get a little confusing, takes up lots of front to back room with rebound bar, doesn't fit infants without purchase of separate insert, high price, heavy!! Cupholder sold separately, harness has to be manually rethreaded, not as padded as competitors

Great seat!
November 27, 2015
We bought this seat because we wanted a narrow seat in our sedan to fit 3 across. We were debating between this and a diono radian. We went for the clek because of the safety features, high reviews, ease of installation and high rear facing limits. My 2 year old is still rear facing VERY comfortably whereas in his old seat he looked much more cramped. The anti rebound bar gets the seat in snug with very little movement. Definitely happy with this purchase
Pros
  • Style, safety, size
Cons
  • Cost

Best Choice For Three Across In The Back Seat!!
October 18, 2015
We needed to replace our two current car seats with narrower ones so we could add a third because we recently (unexpectedly) found out we're having another baby. My husband is a highway patrol officer so safety is definitely our top concern. After frantically searching for a car seat model that was not only extremely safe, but also narrow enough to fit three across in the back seat of our car the Clek Fllo was a clear choice. I like that the seats accommodate taller/longer legged children like ours without compromising my field of vision out the back windows. Also, there is still plenty of room for the driver and front passenger with these car seats in the rear facing position (for reference they are in our 2015 Subaru Forester and my husband and I are of average height). I would definitely recommend these car seats based on the quality of construction and safety features.

Car seat is beautiful! Love the design and quality. It's compact for sure but not too small. Wish there was more recline options in both directions also. If you want a convertible car seat to use in multiple cars this one can do that, it's a little heavy though. Overall love it!
Pros
  • Design
  • Quality
  • Compact
Cons
  • Latch system doesn't apply to all options
  • Somewhat heavy

My daughter loves it
September 13, 2015
I just got this car seat not long ago. My daughter LOVES being in the car again. She can see out the back window so she's so much more content. I have a small SUV and it fits perfectly back there. Still room on each side for someone to sit comfortably. The only bad thing about this is the installation. But my fianc YouTube'd the video on how to do it and it was a little better.

Excellent, quality car seat
August 20, 2015
We are so glad we chose this seat for our son's "big boy" car seat. We opted for "Drift" because it saved us money and, in our opinions, the fabric option was just a bell and whistle that we didn't need. We were able to snatch this seat on sale, which helped as well. Our budget for a convertible seat was $500 and buying this on sale meant that we could buy two, one for each car. Which, we are so glad we did because compared to his infant seat (Uppababy Vista), this baby is more time consuming and laborious to install. We used the Clek YouTube videos to help with installation. I knocked a star off for installation and the no rethread harness. With such a sought after, high quality, SOLID construction, I am not sure why they still make you rethread the harness. It's a pain. But, overall, this seat is super safe, feels super safe, and our son loves it. He sits up high and can look out the window, let's us strap him in without a fight, and we find it easy to use in our two small sedans (VW Jetta and Olds Alero).
Pros
  • Fits in small cars, super safe, comfortable
Cons
  • no rethread harness, expensive even without the fancy crypto fabric

It lives up to its hype...
July 21, 2015
Our (much loved) Recaro ProRide needed to be replaced after an accident and we decided on the Fllo. Our other car seat took up so much space in our Versa hatchback that it couldn't be installed in the middle. The Fllo fits perfectly, installs easily, and allows my son to remain rear-facing comfortably at almost 4 years old. I spent about an hour reading the manual and putting the seat together, but it was worth it. I can see why so many bloggers rave about the Fllo. This seat is a beast!
Pros
  • 50lb rear-facing limit
  • Sleek styling
  • Great for smaller cars
  • Easy to install
Best Uses
  • Extended rear-facing in tiny cars!
Cons
  • It's really heavy.
  • Cup holders are an extra $20.

Awesome price arrived in 5 days
May 25, 2015
This was my first purchase from Albee Baby and after reading reviews I was a bit concerned about the shipping timeframe. I was also concerned that this Clek Fllo might be an older model because I couldn't find a manufacturer date before I made the Purchase and it was 80.00 cheaper than every online store I viewed. I'm happy to say my 2015 Clek Fllo arrived 5 days after puchase, brand new in the box! Here is how I would describe the Fllo; It is a very solid, heavy and quite large car seat... And I love it! It installs easily with no noodle or wrapped towel needed in both my Equinox and Prius. Its super soft for baby yet built like a tank for safety. Glad I made the purchase
