Decided to spend more on our second seat
September 14, 2016
We bought a Britax seat after having used a Cybex Aton, and while it works fine generally it just feels cheaper in comparison. After having that Britax seat for a few weeks we decided to just spend more on the second seat we needed and went with the Clek after visiting a local shop. It's definitely a more suitable progression if you're used to the Cybex infant seats.Installed easily, making adjustments to straps isnt difficult. Would definitely recommend if it's within your budget!
Cons
  • Can be a little cumbersome to install and move between cars if you need to switch it, but once it's installed it's fine. Not really a concern either if you have a seat per vehicle.

The perfect car seat
September 10, 2016
I ordered two of these car seats and love them. The fabric is so easy to clean. Nothing stains it. They are very slim while still being comfortable for my kids. Also you don't lose any style when you purchase a Clek. I highly recommend.

Love this car seat!
September 6, 2016
First, my daughter was ecstatic about this pink car seat! It's soft, and so easy to use and install. I have done a lot of research on these car seats before switching my family over to all of them. And they really are the perfect car seat. We also purchased another one for our upcoming baby to be able to rear face it. I love everything about the company that makes the car seat, as well as the safety and the products used in the car seats. They really are so easy to install! That's what turned me to using all clek car seats.

The foonf is a car seat that will actually last until it's time for a booster. It's modern simplicity and easy install make it a seat you won't grow tired of or frustrated with. The seat never stains and with a quick wipe looks brand new.

The BEST Car seat!
August 28, 2016
We have the 2013 Foonf for our first child and love it, so we got the 2016 for our second child. We love this one even more than the first one! It's a tank and weighs a ton, but we rarely move it so that isn't an issue for us. It's a good looking seat that goes well with our interior, repels the sand and drool and general grossness our daughter gifts it with, and is comfortable and a great height for looking out the window (these last two traits are confined by picky four year old Clek loving brother himself). I like the new color choice and the improved crotch strap and shoulder pads on the 2016 model.
Customer Images
Pros
  • Insanely safe
  • Durable
  • Easy to keep clean
  • Attractive
  • Lasts for an exceptionally long time, both by expiration date and by how long it can be used by a child
  • Simple to install
  • Narrow width
  • Straps don't twist
  • Clek also has excellent customer service if you have questions
Best Uses
  • Newborn-age four (so far!)
Cons
  • Heavy (but unless you move it around daily.... And it's far more durable, comfortable, and long lasting than the lightweight spare we've got. And it's safer.)
  • Price (but we've used our first one over four years now, so price for longevity isn't bad)

This was a replacement after being in a crash with our original. This model has softer shoulder pads and better seatbelt lock offs than the previous one- both upgrades that I was happy to see. We've been very happy with both of our Clek seats and their customer service is excellent.

This car seat is nothing less than amazing. It doesent budge when installed. My son loves how he can see everything because it sits high. I know he is super safe and no yucky harmful flame retardants!! Very easy to buckle & unbuckle. I wish I could afford to buy 2! The fabric is really nice as well.

My wife and I put a lot of research into a car seat for our son. After weeks of comparing seats and their pros and cons we decided the clek foonf was the one for us! Albee baby has the best price because the seat was tax free and had free shipping! When the car seat got here it was exactly as we researched! We love it and our son loves it as well. It gives us peace of mind knowing our baby boy is riding in the best!

This seat is heavy and takes up a lot of room front to back. I have a 2016 forester and have to have the drives seat forward more than I'd like to be comfy.
Pros
  • Fun colors and claims to be very safe
Cons
  • Heavy, no cup holder, difficult to get in place to install due to size and weight

superior car seat
July 11, 2016
We've owned a Diono Radian for our oldest daughter for 4+ years. We just purchased a Foonf for our 10-month-old and I could appreciate the step up in quality by the time we had it out of the box. This is the highest quality car seat I have ever seen. It is well-built of quality materials and I absolutely love the fact that it is made in Canada instead of China. Additional details that stand out to me are that the head-protection piece won't slip out of place as it regularly does with our Radian, and the straps snug up nicely - much more smoothly than the ratchet system in our Radian. We purchased this car seat due to the great reviews and because it was designed for extended rear-facing. We have been using our Foonf for around a month and we are so happy with it that we are considering buying another one to replace our falling-apart Radian.
Pros
  • well-built
  • head-protection stays in place
  • straps easy to loosen/tighten
  • Made in Canada
  • longer life than other car seats before expiration date
  • recyclable
Cons
  • sits a little high in the vehicle when rear-facing

Luxury Overload
April 28, 2016
I bought this seat for my eight month old daughter. She's very tall for her age so she outgrew her infant seat quickly. This reclines and is super spacious. It does take up a lot of room vertically and horizontally in our infinity qx60. The height makes it a tad hard to see if you look over your shoulder through the back windscreen. She has a lot of room to grow and she loves sitting in this seat.

Great seat!
April 28, 2016
I bought a this seat for my 4 year old. She is still rear facing and should be able to continue to rear face for a while. She has no complaints regarding comfort, the straps sit where they should, and it is easy to tighten/loosen. I think the newer versions have improved padding as opposed to the one we had previously. These seats are simple to install and the anti - rebound bar gives a rock solid install. I plan to buy one for the next baby since they have the infant insert now. Highly recommend. *They do sit pretty high, so if you have limited head room I suggest you check the dimensions.*
Pros
  • Extended rear facing, easy install, stain repellent fabric
Best Uses
  • Extended rear facing
Cons
  • Sits higher than other seats, so while my kid likes to see out, it could be a tight fit in lower profile vehicles

I transitioned my almost 2 year to this seat a few weeks ago from his orbit G3 infant seat. I went back and forth for quite some time because I loved my orbit and wanted the same convenience but ultimately decided to go with the Foonf and I'm so pleased with my choice! It fits in the back seat rear facing very comfortably and my son loves it. Even though he is quite petite the seat fits him well.

Our 2nd one because we love it so much!
March 31, 2016
My 3 1/2 year old son is still rear facing in his Foonf we got in 2013, and I just got this one for my 13 month old daughter. In my opinion, this seat is the easiest to use properly and has such high limits to keep our kids as safe as possible. I also love that this is the only seat that allows my kids to see out the window in our Toyota Highlander. I recommend this seat to every parent if the topic of car seats comes up. In love with the Foonfs!!!

For our 2 girls, we have 4 Foonfs for our 2 girls. This is the safest car seat out there. I have the Diono, Orbit, and Britax and Clek has been the obvious high quality, well built car seat for our family. My daughters are rear facing till 3. The fun colors are great and fun for he kids. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion. Safety is not negotiable in our family.

Great car seat. Shipped efficiently and arrived pretty quickly. The cardboard of the box the seat was shipped in was a bit beat up, but the seat was intact- no damage.

Looooove this car seat
March 20, 2016
The Foonf is by far the best car seat on the market. It's so incredibly safe....heavy. I know my son is protected in this. We also have the Diono Rainier and there in no comparing the two, the foonf is hands down the better choice. We only purchased the Diono after trying to get the Foonf through airport security....what a pain.....I would not recommend as it doesn't fit through the scanner and takes a long time to get inspected by the TSA people who are obviously pissed about having to haul this heavy seat over to inspection. The only downside to this seat is it doesn't have a washable cover. Even with this one flaw, I still think it's the best seat!!!

February 20, 2016
We bought this seat to replace a Chico infant seat. We were most interested in the Foonf because of the safety this seat provides. We've been using it for a few weeks and so far I would recommend it. It feels much more sturdy than the Chico and your can see why the price is higher once you handle it. It seems well built and the fabric is more like nice upholstery than a typical car seat. This seat is worth the money and then some. I feel that it provides the safest choice for our son. He seems to like the seat more than the Chico which is great. This seat has it all; looks, safety, fit and finish, and comfort.
Pros
  • Stylish, safe, easy to use, sits up high, side impact protection, comfortable.
Cons
  • Takes a while to set up the first time

  • the seat is high enough for the LO to look out the window
Cons

Subtle but notable changes.
February 10, 2016
We own a 2015 Clek Foonf and just bought a 2016 for our second son. The new seatbelt lock offs are SOOOO much better and made installation much much easier in the rear facing position. I love the Foonf. It's built like a rock and gives me peace of mind. Downsides include no way to adjust the shoulder strap height without rethreading the straps. This is a minor inconvenience.

My little girl always had issue being in her infant car seat and she out grew it very soon that's when we bought Foonf. Little heavy but occupies very less space and the safety is impeccable. She now doesn't mind to sit in this seat and enjoys watching vehicles move by!

After 6 children and many car seats this is by far the best!
August 28, 2015
This is so far our favorite car seat. The straps are not twisting. The frame is the sturdiest we have had including the head rest. In fact this is the strongest head rest we have had. The seat is narrower than our Britax leaving more room for our other two growing children. The colors are bright and fun! I like bright colors in car seats for in the event a car is turn the bright colors indicate a child maybe in the car. Best part our daughter loves her "Monkey Seat".

Pros
  • Sturdy, straps to not twist, narrow, high for vision out the widow, bright colors, and fun print and colors
Best Uses
  • We are currently rear facing our 3 yr that is 37" and 30 pounds in a 2012 Honda Pilot center passenger.
Cons
  • large (if you have small car - thinking of FLLO for our older 4 Runner), heavy and spendy

Extended Rear Facing in Smaller Car
August 4, 2015
The Clek Foonf is a great carseat for extended rear facing in smaller cars, like my Toyota Matrix. Because of the height, the Foonf allows the passenger seat to move back a little more than it can with the smaller Clek Fllo. It's also one of the few options for extended rear facing with taller/long torso kids, since it goes up to 43" height rear facing. Because of its height, it can be difficult to get a kid in rear facing with a more curved door frame, like in my husband's Camry, but that's not an issue with more squared door frames. The seat feels sturdy and safe and is fairly easy to install, even with the seatbelt (since LATCH can't be used beyond a certain weight because the seat itself is super heavy).
Best Uses
  • Extended Rear Facing
  • Tall/Long Torso Kids

So well worth it!
July 11, 2015
Ok so I totally love it! Installed it all by myself and it was super easy - don't know why so many complain - I just watched the tutorials on the Clek website. Baby hates car seats and normally screams as soon as I put her in them but with this one - not a peep! Super happy and even passed out within one minute of me driving the car! I think the reason she loves it is two-fold: 1) she doesn't feel enclosed in it with a ton of that extra padding and fluff that other car seats have and 2) she can see out the window - she's a super curious and observant child and loves to see everything. I was very hesitant to spend so much money on a car seat but the safety features on top of the seat height for my daughter was so well worth it. Score!!!!!

Great seat, a bit of a hassle to install
June 20, 2015
I wanted to buy this seat, but was hesitant because of the cost. I am on my third and final child, and finally I am "splurging" for all of the things I really wanted since the first one. This seat is worth the price tag if you are looking to have your child rear facing for as long as possible, and have multiple car seats in the car. My husband was a bit frustrated with getting it installed properly, even after I told him I read other reviews stating the same thing. Once in, it has been great for my 11 mo. old who is on the bigger side. She seems very comfortable and can see out the window as well as watch her brothers next to her. She grew out of her infant carrier early, and I wasn't sure about the transition to this larger seat, but there really wasn't a transition. We put her in it, and she was fine. I like that I will hopefully not have to buy her another car seat.

This is a much more substantial car seat than the previous ones we owned. I bought it for the ability to rear-face for longer and the added security features. You have to do some assembly out of the box. There are some good videos on the company website for installing the car seat correctly. It feels solid and safe and my kid can see out the window which seems to have reduced his car-ride fussiness so far.

Car Full of Foonfs
May 9, 2015
We had such a great experience with our first Clek Foonf purchase from Albee Baby last year that we knew we wouldn't trust anything else with baby 2! Foonf is sturdy, solid, and sleek! We love that our kiddos can see out of the car windows so well while rear-facing until at least age 4! Installation is simple and straightforward. Our car-hating kiddos have both shown noticible improvement since switching to Foonf (and our toddler -who formerly screamed non-stop in the car) now asks to go for rides! Awesome! Thanks to Clek for sending us their Infant Thingy infant insert a month before it's release, we were able to get our littlest babe in a Foonf even sooner!
Pros
  • Sturdy
  • Safe
  • Comfy for babe
  • Amazing quality
  • North American made (if that's important to you)
  • And can now be used from birth with the Clek Infant Thingy!
Best Uses
  • Rear-facing until college -well maybe just until elementary school
Cons
  • It is quite heavy - I consider this a pro as it is more sturdy and better protects my little ones.
  • Large - again, a pro for me because it will comfortably accommodate my kiddos for quite some time.

May 7, 2015
we bought this in snowberry for our baby, she was about 6m when we got it. I love the seat but we ended up having to use a pool noodle to get the angle right so that her head didn't slump forward. The seat is also hard to install if your seats have lips like or sienna does. It's super easy to clean you just need water and the dirt comes right off. I wish it had washable fabric though. At 3 yrs old our girl is still rear facing and has three slots before she outgrows the seat which means she will be in this till she is 7 yrs old at the rate she grows.
Pros
  • fabric
Best Uses
  • rear facing for a very long time.
Cons
  • getting the correct angle is tough in some seats without a pool noodle.

Fast and Careful Shipping
March 25, 2015
We received our much needed upgrade of a carseat for our daughter. The transaction was fast and easy. The package/item came without any damage.
Pros
  • Great for safety as it is made of materials such as Steel and Magnesium, Its one of the longest rear facing car seats in the market. We searched for other carseats that will offer Rear facing the longest but having to go cheaper and we found that we would either spending way less but didnt have the option of rear facing which was a no brainer for us. We love that most parts (or all, not sure) are biodegradable and made by a group of people that worked on designing safety in cars. It also has a 9 year expiration date.We love Our Foonf and Our daughter does too!
Best Uses
  • Its best uses would be rear facing at up to 50 lbs. or Age of 4.
  • It fits great on Our '06 Toyota Corolla.
  • Easy to Install.
  • I love that our daughter can see our the window.

I just LOVE this car seat. It was a super easy install. Baby really enjoys being in it as well. She can see out of the window and this keeps her occupied. PROS: Easy to adjust straps. Easy Install. Fabric is super easy to clean. CONS: Heavy (but understandably so, with the building materials) It fits in our 2007 Honda CRV but it's a tight fit (rear facing). Mainly it's a squeeze getting baby in and out without hitting her head. Once she's in the seat we are all good though :) Upgrading to a bigger vehicle soon and that should solve any of the issues we are currently experiencing.

The Best
October 17, 2014
I purchased this seat for my daughter when she was 9 months old. It has been six months and still looks brand new. Super easy to clean and she loves being able to see out the windows while we are moving. I am debating about getting another foonf or a fllo for my niece. I am not going to buy any other brand of car seat since Clek makes the best products. It can be a little hard to get at the right angle, I drive a Montero and the seats are very sloped, when installing. Once it is locked in though, it is solid and wont give an inch. My niece's nautilus seems cheap and flimsy compared to the foonf. I love this seat and brand.

When spending this much, I did tons of research. Trust me you will def be happy with your purchase! Did I mention they can stay rear facing up to 50 lbs? This was a major selling point for our family.

Got this car seat for my 10 months baby boy. He was 18 pounds at that time but he cried every time when we put him in the infant car seat. So we got this one thinking maybe he would like it. And this is the best choice. He loves it! He has more room in the seat but yet it is safe and he sits nicely. the pattern is bright and pretty. He likes to look around the pattern when he is in there.
