Great car seat
October 12, 2018
I have two of these seats and love them. It is very safe and looks nice. It is heavy and tall so slightly harder to put the kids in but the safety makes it all worth it. We even took this seat on an airplane. We ended up getting a thing to roll it around the airport so we didn’t have to lift it and it was narrow enough that it fit through the airplane aisle while other people were struggling with their car seats.
Pros
  • Great safety features and a nice looking seat
Cons
  • Sits very tall rear facing and is heavy

Great carseat, but short crotch buckle
October 10, 2018
I read this somewhere else and dismissed it but it is TRUE- the crotch buckle for this carseat is ridiculously short and thus the buckle snaps into place right at my daughter thighs, almost pinching her every time. Everything else about the carseat (comfort, fabric, overall look and safety) are great but I don't understand the logic behind the short crotch buckle.
Pros
  • Comfy
  • Safe
  • well made and durable
  • nice fabric
Cons
  • Ridiculously short crotch buckle

Sturdy and comfortable
September 30, 2018
My toddler loves this car seat. It feels sturdy and it is easy to buckle/unbuckle, unlike some other car seats. The fabric/color is beautiful. The only con is that it is very heavy, so it is not easy to transfer or travel with it.
Pros
  • Comfortable for toddler
Best Uses
  • Primary car seat that does not require transferring often
Cons
  • Heavy

We Love It & So Does Our Daughter
September 26, 2018
We wanted the best rear-facing car seat for long term use, and this is it! We had done a ton of research, and finally bit the bullet to spring for this seat. Install was a bit more involved than our infant car seat, but it's so incredibly secure. My daughter sits happily and proudly in her "big girl" car seat — which is great since she'll be in it for awhile!

Amazing car seat
September 13, 2018
We have purchased two of these seats, both in the merino wool option. Fabric is very soft, and I appreciate the cooling feature, in the Florida heat. This car seat is very heavy and very sturdy. You will not be able to transfer this seat from vehicle to vehicle tho - too heavy. The straps are quite easy to tighten and loosen. My LO has always hated car travel, but in this seat, he sits to high up that he can look out the windows, and he now enjoys looking for trucks and has fun. The seat is pricey but worth it. Clek customer service is also amazing and a pleasure to deal with.
Pros
  • Very safe and sturdy
  • Baby sits high to look out windows
  • Fabric is very soft but durable
  • Straps are easy to tighten and loosen
  • Clek customer service is awesome
Cons
  • None. This car seat is amazing and worth every penny. Car seat safety is not where I want to save money.

Wonderful upgrade from previous convertible
September 10, 2018
This is so easy to install and use compared to a previous convertible car seat we owned, and is so secure in place. So glad we tried a new seat. Kiddo loves the pattern. It does cinch down pretty tight, so you'll need to experiment with the best way to do that without pinching the next/shoulder area.

I'm sold
June 30, 2018
When I unboxed our foonf, I was really blown away by the quality of the seat. It looks like a miniature version of an actual car seat. It is sleek and trim, and despite being very heavy, I'd never describe it as bulky. I got the mammoth wool and it is really, really nice - super soft. I love merino wool, but wasn't sure about it holding up to wear and tear over the years as a seat. After reading way too much about merino, I decided to give it a go because it's supposed to be incredibly durable and hard-wearing. I installed this seat mostly by myself and highly recommend purchasing the mat-thingy to go with it because this thing puts a lot of pressure on your car's seat. Everything about the installation was easy for me to accomplish solo except getting the seat tight enough against our car's seat. Not a big deal, I had my husband push down on it while I tightened the LATCH straps, and that did the trick. I am a big fan of the anti-rebound bar. It really keeps the seat from wiggling and makes it feel like an extension of your car. Comfort-wise I expected a little more cushion to the seat, but I think it'll be fine for a little bum. My daughter absolutely hated her infant car seat. More often than not, she was completely inconsolable on car rides. She slept for nearly two hours on her first outing in the foonf. She rarely takes naps that long at home. Lucky I had my awesome mom with me to sit in the car with her while I ran my errands!As other reviewers have stated - this is not a seat you'll want to move from car to car. It's built like a tank and is almost as heavy.Only time will tell if my daughter will be content in the foonf, but I'm sold. If she still hates riding in the car, at least I'll know she's screaming in the safest car seat on the market!
Pros
  • Built like tank, love the merino wool, super safe and secure, anti-rebound bar, easy enough to install, straightforward instructions

You Will Not Regret Buying This Car Seat
June 30, 2018
This is my second Clek car seat. I bought the Fllo model about two years ago for my first daughter in Thunder (beautiful gray color) and loved it. This time around I decided to get the Foonf. My youngest will be taking over her sisters old Clek for now because my 3 yr old really wanted the pink seat. I was worried the bright pink was going to be too over whelming but it's not. It's a very pretty color and my 3 yr old loves it. I plan on ordering a second pink for the baby so when she gets a little older she won't be jealous of her sister's seat. Then the older Clek will move to dad's car. I love both the Fllo and the Foonf, you will not be disappointed with either choice. I chose Clek because it's one of the few brands that make seats with non toxic flame retardants, this was a #1 priority for me. The next consideration was ease of use. I tested out the other two Brands that were rated non toxic (Maxi Cosi & Britax) both we're very hard to tighten the harness. Clek tightens and loosens so easily. I purchased both car seats through Albee Baby and they have been a wonderful company to do business with. I will definitely be buy from them again.
Pros
  • Non toxic flame retardants
  • very sturdy
  • beautiful color choices
  • narrow base yet very roomy & comfortable seat
  • easy to put kids in and take out
  • rates for up to 50lbs rear facing
  • Top safety ratings
Cons
  • Very heavy- I don?t move my seat back and forth from vehicles so not an issue for me.
  • Price - all the safety features makes this well worth it to me.
  • Fabric cover is not removable to wash- it does wipe down very well with a damp cloth though and I?ve never not been able to get a stain out.

I would buy it a thousand times over.
June 24, 2018
I adore this seat. It just works. It's sturdy and safe and sleek, and it never complicates my life. The fabric cleans easily with the Clek cleaning kit, and I love not having to take the seat apart to wash a cover. My 29 pound 2 year-old rear faces comfortably. He loves that he can see out the windows and the rear glass. I know this because he tells me every. single. thing. that he sees. I also love that Clek has a crash-tested seat protector. The weight of the seat was leaving impressions in my car's leather upholstery, but I wouldn't risk safety for something so frivolous. We ordered the Clek seat protector, and it's doing a great job protecting the leather without interfering with a very secure installation (that sucker does not budge).

BEST convertible Car Seat!!!
June 21, 2018
You may not know this but this car seat is even green guard certified (the only car seat that is)It sits higher up and my toddler can see so much more out of the car she loves it. The material is soft and comfy. The kick bar is great. It also is more narrow and so much less bulky than other convertible car seats. Its expensive but definitely worth it!

If you are hesitating... don't! This is the best car seat!!!
June 18, 2018
I know this car seat is very expensive... but we decided to go without in other areas (for instance, we don't have the most amazing strollers because we are deciding to prioritize spending on car seats). We love this car seat and it is actually the second time I am purchasing this make and model. I have one for each of my children in my car (which is the car they are in most often). We do have Britax models in my partner's car and all grandparent cars... but I prefer the Clek Foonf to all other car seat options because of the safety aspects of this seat, the height of this seat (the kids love to see outside). The extended rear-facing feature is also a must for me as we drive a great deal and I really want to be as safe as possible. FYI- We have both Clek seats in Shadow as the fabric does receive a great deal of wear and tear. Since it is not removable, it is less easy to keep spotless. I highly recommend a darker color unless you are in the position to purchase a new seat when it looks less cute due to wear and tear or if you won't be bothered by this issue. Also, there are two different fabric feels and I prefer the look and feel of this fabric type. It is so soft and luxurious.
Pros
  • extended rear-facing
  • fabrics used
  • seat height
  • slim design
  • environmental impact
  • the beauty of the design
Cons
  • price

I have 3 of these. I'm obsessed with safety, and I think this is the best car seat on the market. This thing is like a tank. It has the best height and weight limits for rear and forward facing that I could find. The children sit up high and love looking out the window rather than screaming their heads off once you clip them in. The anti rebound bar is amazing and you can see right away how much more stable this car seat is compared to others on the market.

As the mother to a very large one year old, I was looking for a car seat that had increased height/weight restrictions for backwards facing, and this one was best with the added bonus of being much more slim in profile.

Before purchasing a carseat for our large 10 month old baby we researched for 2 months. This car seat far outshined any other that we looked at on the market. From the fabric to the design we were impressed. Once we got the carseat (delivered) we were in awe of how sturdy and sound this seat was. I'll admit though it is heavy so if that is a problem going with the Fllo would be in one's best interest. The color is awesome, the construction is fantastic and our son loves his new seat. I have already recommended this seat to a couple of friends with small ones and will continue to do so. We love this seat.

Compatible with inflatable seat belts
March 14, 2018
I originally purchased a Britax convertible car seat in my Ford Explorer. I was all set to go until I looked up how to install it with inflatable seat belts and realized that most car seats aren't compatible. I researched all of the options which led me to Clek and the Foonf and am glad I made the switch, even if I didn't have inflatable seat belts. This is simply the safest, most well made car seat in the market. I originally wanted to go with the cool Tokidoki version but my wife wouldn't go for it but all of the other options look good too. Make sure you look into the differences in installation if you have inflatable car seats.
Pros
  • Compatible with inflatable seat belts
  • Form factor
  • Made in Canada
  • Published safety data
  • Higher rear-facing weight limits
  • Reclinable
  • Optional cupholders
  • Stain resistant material
Best Uses
  • If it's only going to stay in a one car and never move
Cons
  • Heavy - will have to switch from LATCH installation sooner due to weight
  • Difficult to transfer between vehicles
  • Cupholders not included and expensive to purchase
  • Fabric not removable
  • Installation slightly more difficult and extra steps needed to change strap heights

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.

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.

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.

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.
