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).

REGRET: 5 WANT: 299
  • We ended up not using the Foonf, because it seemed like it really pushed our son’s head forward in the seat. Did not seem comfortable for him at all. Aug 01, 2024

  • We got this for my toddler because we can fit 3 carseats in a row. It is very comfortable as it has 2 recline positions when facing forward. The only downside is that the fabric cannot be washed. Feb 13, 2024

  • This is a solid car seat! It is easy to install with the rigid latch system and Clek goes above and beyond with their safety features.This car seat is heavy and tall, so it might not fit in all cars. Oct 22, 2023

  • Safe. Extended rear-facing. Easy to clean. What more could you want? We purchased w/ the infant insert and used it from birth. Incredible value and peace of mind for years to come. Aug 28, 2023

  • If you have a narrow middle (subaru outback) this is the seat for you, it fits perfectly and allows for a taller driver. Highly recommend Clek, we also have the Liing. Aug 17, 2023

  • This is hands down my favorite car seat. It is a tank. I love the extended rear facing option, the performance fabric, and the increased height. It’s perfect for my tall toddler. We have two! Jul 17, 2023

  • My daughter rear faced in this until 4 and is forward facing now at 5 and loves it. She says it is comfortable and it’s easy to get in and out. It is HEAVY and hard to move but otherwise we love it! Jun 21, 2023

  • The Clek Foonf is a great car seat! It is narrow enough to fit three across in one row of a vehicle. You have the option to add a cup holder to it, if desired. May 28, 2023

  • Bought this carseat for grandson. He screamed the whole time he was in it. There wasn't a lot of padding between the seat and shell of the seat. The material used is stiff. Returned it Apr 14, 2023

  • Heavy but secure install (but a little hard to remove). Convertible and gets decent height range. The base seat is higher so smaller kids can see around them/outside. Mar 14, 2023

  • Best seat!! It was one of the only ones that fit in my suv. I love the durability of the fabric. My child was safe and comfortable. Mar 13, 2023

  • This is the BEST convertible car seat I've ever owned. Mar 05, 2023

  • Volvo of car seats - solid and safe Feb 09, 2023

  • I love this seat, definitely worth the extra expense. Loaded with extra safety features, plus it's narrow so leaves lots of extra space in the back seat. Nov 21, 2022

  • The Filo and Foonf are both great once baby outgrows the infant carrier/seat - I opted to spend a bit more and invest in the better of Clek’s two models. Jun 08, 2022

  • This is it for me. Before car seats, clek manufactured car parts, they know cars, they have been innovators in this field since the start. For me, there’s no question, this is the seat. Apr 24, 2022

  • Love the safety rating of this car seat. The seat is very heavy so is cumbersome to travel with. Like the slim design so other seats can be used, however when rear facing only fits in our middle seat. Mar 29, 2022

  • I decided to splurge on this car seat because of the added safety features (love!). While I like how sleek and narrow it is, it does sit quite high and creates a blind spot depending on your vehicle. Feb 24, 2022

  • We have a Clek Foonf for both of our children. We love them! Build solid and easy to use. Fabrics: premium is easy wipe clean, basic is soft and lovely, wool is softest but hardest to clean. Nov 20, 2020

  • Beautiful design, my son hates it. Very uncomfortable for him with the minimal padding. Also does fit well in a mid-size crossover. Nov 03, 2020

  • Love the extended rear facing limits. There’s more leg room for rear facing longer too. Getting kids in and out is easier than other seats we have. Not super easy to install very heavy. Oct 20, 2020

  • This is quite pricey but AMAZING when you have multiple children and love the extended rear facing feature. It is slim and sits higher letting the front seats move back more. Love the rebound bar Oct 17, 2020

  • Fits three across and so sturdy! Would recommend to anyone. Aug 12, 2020

    Easy to clean. Lots of leg room for my tall toddler Jul 31, 2020

  • Safe, easy to install as well as buckle and unbuckle. I love that the release for the straps is unreachable by my children. The fabric is easy to clean. Only negative is seat is harder than others. Jul 08, 2020

  • Safety, Safety, Safety! This thing is a tank and I do not worry about my small framed older child in it! Love everything about what Clek stands for! May 14, 2020

  • 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.
