what parents are saying
I am so glad we splurged on this item, my son loves riding in it, he looks so comfortable and it makes us feel he's super safe. It is a HEAVY duty car seat, but not too bulky in the back seat! (Feb 18, 2014)

As one weeSpring parent noted, this is the “Ferrari” of car seats. Sleek, stylish, and incredibly safe, it includes extended rear-facing capabilities for up to 50 lbs (~4 years old), well beyond the AAP’s recommendation to remain rear-facing until 2. Clek has the narrowest base out there (just 13 inches!) which makes it a cinch to install three-across, if needed.
The Catch: At $400+, it’s definitely an investment (also of note, in order to use it from infancy, you’ll need to purchase the infant insert, which is sold separately).

This carseat is supposed to be very safe...the downsides are its really hard to clean and its very heavy. Mar 26, 2019

This seat is super compact. The material is very easy to clean. It does sit high in the vehicle, though, so it is hard to see around. It is also a bit on the heavy side. Mar 19, 2019

This car seat is heavy duty! Equipped with crumple technology and extended rear facing capability make me feel like my child is safe. Mar 04, 2019

I love the car seat because it's a TANK but it's so big that it becomes a huge blind spot for me when it is set up reversed. Feb 21, 2019

This is the Bentley of car seats. The fabric is super yummy and it has high rear facing limits. My daughter is 4 and still rear faces in this seat Jan 19, 2019

Great for safety. Hard. Heavy. Can’t change cars often due to size and weight. Can’t fit in my car middle sweat because I can’t see past it in rear view mirror Jan 02, 2019

This is the mother of all car seats! After loads of research, I landed on the Clek and am so happy I did! We love the Foonf. This is the most solid and sturdy car seat, makes this mama feel at ease. Nov 27, 2018

Overall, I would recommend. However, the fabric is not as stain resistant as they claim and the company does not stand behind it. They would not replace fabric even though it failed as advertised. Nov 22, 2018

I have two of these seats! They’re extremely heavy to move but that means they’re well made with the metal core to protect your babe from an accident. Good side protection and durable. Nov 02, 2018

Great car seat!!! Super heavy- wouldn’t recommend it for travel, but my child feels extremely secure in it. Love the front facing latch system and the steel frame. Greenguard gold certified fabric Sep 27, 2018
Bought it because of the high safety standards, but enjoy that it’s narrow, stylish and apparently comfortable. But beware it’s HEAVY. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re planning on moving it regularly. Sep 03, 2018

My almost 6 year old has been in our Clek Foonf since he was 8 months old. I love that this car seat is so safe, non toxic, and grows with your child so you don’t need to buy others. Must have! Aug 28, 2018
- Sara G.

Our child loves this carseat because it is higher up than our Graco 4ever and she can see out the window. It is HUGE and HEAVY but very safe and solid. Might not fit in smaller vehicles in rear mode. Aug 16, 2018
I had this car seat but decided to sell it because it sat too high rear facing, it increased the blind spots in my Honda Pilot. The fabric is treated but I worried about being unable to wash it. Jul 11, 2018

Amazing seat. This seat is heavy but still easy to move between cars. I love how baby sits up higher allowing him to look out the window. Cleans easy and adjusts easily. Jul 10, 2018

We own two Foonfs and wouldn’t have it any other way. They help us fit 3 across and rear-face until age 4. There is now a wool flame-retardant free option which makes this the BEST seat ever! Jun 03, 2018

By far the best car seat for safety on the market. Little one is super comfortable in it. I also love the look Apr 07, 2018

I have this in the Toki Doki Space design. Seriously the cutest thing ever. I have a KIA Rio and it is very tall in my car, but still fits. I really am happy about this purchase. Worth the cost. Mar 28, 2018

Narrow so we can still use side seats. The harness is easy to tighten and there are spots to hold the buckles so they dont get lost! Feb 25, 2018
- Leanne K.

Sturdy, easy to clean fabric. This car seat is a snap to install. I also love that it has a very modern, minimalist look (of course safety is my number one concern, but this was a bonus). Feb 19, 2018

High safety rating, transparent crash test reporting and sleek design! Love! Feb 18, 2018

Sturdy, safe and stylish, I'm so in love with this car seat, and my son seems to be super comfortable in it, too. Plus, it's easy to clean. It is heavy, though, so don't plan on transferring often. Jan 19, 2018

Slim design, sits higher for toddler to see out window, unbeatable safety construction!! Dec 27, 2017

I love how safety-minded this car seat is! Plus the fabric doesn’t contain chemical flame retardants! I love that the Rear-facing weight limit is so high! My 4.5 year old is still rear-facing! Nov 15, 2017

Safe, comfortable. My son is still happy rear facing in it. He is, almost 3, 32 lbs 32 inches tall. We have a mirror so we can see him and he can have an additional view. Get a light seat for travel. Oct 27, 2017

From Clek
At Clek we are all about the Ride. All kinds of rides, including the one through life. When we first started out on this journey we had a clear direction. Forward, but with different thinking. Because how you get there matters. Our thinking is design thinking. Not only products, but also experiences. Parenting comes with compromises. We get that. But we don’t believe you need to compromise when it comes to child passenger safety. Comfort, safety, convenience and style can co-exist without sacrifice. Easy task? Nope. An important one? Absolutely.

Easier to install than I expected, and much easier to tighten than other seats we've used. My 3.5 year old has no complaints either! Jun 04, 2018

I received this seat as part of the weespring parent panel. Pros: Multiple reclines, easy install (rigid UAS), easy clean fabric Cons: Expensive, sits very high up (esp. RF) in small car Oct 26, 2017
- Erin M.

This is a sturdy carseat,but it is heavy and it takes more time to install than britax. Also, baby needs to be able to sit up to use the carseat. The seat is great for bigger babies/toddlers. Oct 21, 2017

Incredibly narrow convertible seat with excellent fabric and amazing rigid latch system! Oct 05, 2017

The safety features are unparalleled and its modern aesthetic is a plus. Both kids are comfortable and happy in the Foonf. The extended rear facing and slim profile were big selling points. Mar 07, 2017
- Emily K.

Highly rated by both Carseats For The Littles and Carseat Lady, narrow base means there's room for me in-between two carseats in the back. Great investment if you can find on sale! Dec 19, 2016

I bought this in 2012 and still love! Rear facing is so important and the 50lb limit for RF is great. The fabric is hand wash but easy to clean if you get the premium fabric. Hard to clean crumbs out. Aug 08, 2016

I was given this car seat for review and I can say without hesitation that I love it!! It feels very sturdy and secure. It's super easy to install and clean. it's also narrow and can fit 3 across. Aug 06, 2016

It's nice because it's so narrow, but the thing is too heavy for travel and really hard to install/uninstall. If you get it, install it and leave it! Jul 06, 2016

As many claim, a beast to install. And a beast in your car. But I love that it lets my RF daughter sit high and see the world. Plus, it feels solid as a rock. Aug 10, 2015

Just switched from the infant car seat and so far we are loving this seat. Super easy to use and not as wide as some of the other toddler car seats. Jul 29, 2013
