I really wanted to love this product. Built like a tank, nice design, probably one of the best in class. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most user unfriendly products I’ve ever had. Considering so many products don’t even come with a user’s manual these days, the lack of intuitiveness is staggering. Our other car seat is part of a Chicco travel system, and it is a breeze to set up and use compared to the Clek. We’re still keeping it because it is a good product but I wouldn’t recommend it to brand new parents-to-be.

[@safeintheseat]

Once you've installed it once or twice, it's very easy to manage! I think Clek has better manuals than many other manufacturers do in fact! They have additional help on their website too

[@lizpatman3630]

We love our Clek Foonf! This truly helps to make sure we have the correct install! I like to refresh anytime we take it out and it’s so nice to have this video! Thank you!

[@safeintheseat]

I'm glad this is helpful, and thanks for watching!

[@stonecoldsaidso9188]

Thx very much🎉 help me a lot

[@safeintheseat]

Thanks for watching!

Looks like a huge pita using this. Was considering it and really glad I watched this video and learned a lot of other tips in process - love the videos - Thank you

[@safeintheseat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hannahsummers5717]

This is too many steps for me but I enjoy watching anyway! 😂

[@safeintheseat]

It's a lot of steps, but it's a nice seat! Thanks for watching!

[@taylormohr8729]

We love our foonf!!

[@safeintheseat]

I'm glad you do! Thanks for watching!

I feel it's easier to assemble a submarine.

[@safeintheseat]

It's really not that tough. I've done it many times!

[@MarieElen89]

I only saw the harnessing video for infants. Is there one for older babies on how to properly harness?

[@safeintheseat]

It's exactly the same!

[@Gluk0Zza]

Clek website don’t talk about the last step.. with the crossing overtop. Is that when the latch can’t be used? When my husband installs the seat as intended - it’s unmovable solid as rock. I’ve just never seen this from official Clek

[@Gluk0Zza]

Is the qtether for rear facing necessary beyond a certain weight?

[@safeintheseat]

The q-tether is optional. It's just an added safety feature. It works in the same way a load leg does. It absorbs more of the crash forces

[@micaelawedge]

Just to clarify. My 🚗 manual says that car seats have to be flat on the seat. Not hanging off or up in the back. Even though this particular car seat allows up to 20%, I would not be able to use it because my car doesn't allow that, correct? When installing car seats, you are to install them based off of your car seat manual and your car manual, but your car manual overrides the car seat manual, correct?

[@safeintheseat]

You have to read both manuals and adhere to the rules of both. I've never seen a vehicle that didn't allow overhang, but if your manual says that, then you must follow what it says.

[@micaelawedge]

@@safeintheseat I was figuring that. I wouldn't be able to use it.

[@micaelawedge]

@@safeintheseat Yep, the Volkswagen beetle doesn't like it. This child I babysit for that now sits in a booster seat, was sitting forward-facing when I started. The family had a Graco seat. It hung over a little bit and was up in the back a little bit. I let the parents know about all of this. They made the decision not to get me a different seat. I moved the base to the booster setting. That didn't solve the problem, but it lessened it.

[@katherinezimmer4932]

What do you do when the shoulder restraint of the belt has an airbag?

[@safeintheseat]

If it's a Ford vehicle, Clek's instructions for installation with that type of seat belt are here: support.clekinc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035927032-Can-Foonf-be-installed-with-inflatable-seat-belts-

[@ld1494]

How much space between the front seat and the car seat is required?

[@safeintheseat]

Check your vehicle owner's manual. It may say that nothing should touch the back of the seat due to possible airbag interference. Otherwise, lightly touching is fine.

[@Smallyardguy]

This seat is so annoying. I can’t get it flat. When it is it just slips down. What should I do

[@safeintheseat]

Clek does free video chats for installation help, so I think that would be a good option to check out!

[@healingkatlyn99]

8:22 do you have a video for clek floo

[@safeintheseat]

Not yet! But Clek has a KZbin channel as well, so you can head there for installation videos.

[@brynnharris-hamm1321]

I absolutely cannot get the blue latches closed inside. I’m about to break my nails off and I’m beyond angry. I can’t deal with this crap

[@safeintheseat]

Did you make sure the seat belt is under the black tabs? It shouldn't be that difficult

[@brynnharris-hamm1321]

@@safeintheseatYes I followed all of the steps but it just takes such strength to push them down. I seriously almost snapped my finger. I just hate this seat for rear-facing use. I wish I had known how hard it was. I wouldn’t have bought this.

[@theresal8508]

That’s not how you install the car seat!!! Stop spreading false advertisement!!! That is not what you do with the tether strap in rear facing!!!! People, please don’t take advice from this lady!!!

[@theresal8508]

The tether strap is only used in forward facing use!!!!!!

[@safeintheseat]

This seat is one of the very few In the US and Canada that has a rear-facing tether. It's called the Q-tether for this seat and you can find information about it on Clek's website.

@theresal8508 She is a nationally recognized car seat professional (CPST). What is your certification to say she and the car seat manufacturer are wrong?
