Is the Clek Foonf worth the price?

It is one of the few seats that keeps most kids rear-facing to about 4 years, and it adds a steel anti-rebound bar and rigid LATCH. If you plan to use one seat for six or more years, the cost per year is reasonable. If you move the seat often, its 38 lb weight is a real drawback.

How does the Foonf compare with the Clek Fllo?

The Fllo is lighter and has a lower price, but the Foonf adds the REACT energy-management system and a taller rear-facing weight limit of 50 lb. The Foonf also has a rigid LATCH base for faster installation.

How long can my child stay rear-facing?

Rear-facing limits are 14 to 50 lb and 25 to 49 in tall, which Clek says covers most children to about age 4. Forward-facing starts at 2 years and 25 lb, up to 50 lb and 49 in.

Does it fit three across in a back seat?

The base is 13 in wide and the seat is under 17 in at its widest, so three-across is possible in many mid-size and larger vehicles. Check your vehicle's manual and test the fit, since the rear-facing length is 33 in.

What comes in the box?

You get the Foonf seat, the anti-rebound bar, the rear-facing base, the owner's manual and a warranty registration card. A cup holder is not included and must be bought separately.

Can I use it on a plane?

Yes, it is FAA approved for aircraft use. At 38 lb in rear-facing mode it is heavy to carry through an airport, so a travel cart helps.
