2013 clek foonf car seat on my 20lb baby, the strap that goes under them and across their crotch is way to short and ends up being buckled *underneath* the baby and making it all tootight and painful for the baby to be strapped in and has a lot of tension on the strap below.major design and safety flaw.
The contact owns a clek convertible child seat (n/a), model number (foons 82678301043) , manufactured november 30, 2012. The contact stated that the built-in lock-off opened independently and sporadically. The child seat was inspected by a certified child seat technician, who verified the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that they would be providing replacement parts for the seat. The child seat was not replaced.
Clek foonf child seat harness loosened on its own during drive.problem continued after child was removed.small piece of dirt was stuck in harness release mechanism (of 2 month old seat) causing it to fail to lock the harness.seat design should prevent debris from ever being able to get caught in this mechanism!
Seat belt lock-offs (blue) pop up and seatbelt becomes loose.
Clek admits that the foonf has not been tested with the 6 year old dummy for rear facing. Fmvss 213 requires the 6 year old dummy for this seat, due to the 50 pound weight limit.
The blue belt lock-off devices on the clek foonf repeatedly fail, which would lead to the failure of the car seat in an accident. After speaking with a clek representative twice, the only solution is to keep sending us new lock-off devices to replace faulty ones. The lock offs have often popped open while my son is seated in the carseat. There is no way to know the moment they have failed. So, there is no way to feel certain that the seat itself will protect a child in an accident. The solution to replace a faulty part with another faulty part is a dangerous and unacceptable practice.
The contact owns a 2012 clek foof child safety seat, model number: 0200a1434926. The seat was manufactured on 06/20/2014. The safety seat was being utilized in a 2015 honda odyssey. While using the child safety seat in the rearfacing position, it was discovered that the locking clip failed and caused the child to become unsecured. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The manufacturer was notified. The purchase date was unknown.
Hello, i am reporting a serious safety issue with a convertible car seat. The clek foonf is made to be rear-facing until 50 lbs. However, children are able to slide the chest harness clip down and remove the shoulder straps easily from about the age of 1/2 or so. Once the shoulder straps are removed, the seat is essentially rendered useless as the leg straps subsequently become too loose. It is as if the child is not even strapped in. And since the seat is rear-facing it is impossible for the driver to see that this has happened. When i contacted clek about the issue, i was literally told to teach my child not to do it, or distract them with toys! here is clek's email response below. "debbi (clek inc)dec 16, 1:48 pm esthi ********,thank you for contacting clek. We're sorry to hear about this issue. Unfortunately we do not sellor approve of the use of anything additional on the harness.the solution to this issue can really vary depending on the child and the reason they are pushing down the chest clip. Most commonly, it's going to be either exploration related or comfort related.if your child is verbal for their age, you can try asking them why they are undoing it. We recommend checking that the harness is adjusted to the right height for the direction the seat is installed, and that it isn't over-tightened. It just needs to be snug at the hips and tight enough on the shoulders that you can't pinch a horizontal fold, with no visible slack between the buckle and chest clip. Sometimes if the harness is over-tightened, the chest clip can press into and discomfort your child, leading them to move the chest clip.if it's more exploration based, then busy types of activities for car trips may help. Choosing a variety of soft or interactive toy which interactive buttons and zippers will help some kids stay occupied......" (etc.)*dt

We have a major safety issue with our clek foonf. We were having problems loosening the shoulder harness of our daughter's car seat to get her in the car seat itself.we removed the car seat from the car to examine it and found that the straps attached to the metal harness plate were fraying and coming apart.my husband pulled lightly on the strap and it completely unraveled with little to no effort - like it was velcro.he pulled on the other strap and it unraveled at the first attachment point, but not the second.this rendered the car seat completely unsafe for use.i have contacted the company and they are working with me on it as i am sending the seat back to them for inspection.it appears that when these straps got sewn together that the machine ran out of thread in whatever functions as the bobbin case for this type of stitching.what worries me is that this passed the safety inspection and i am terrified that there are others out there that have the same problem.the company is fully aware of the concern and are working on it as a top priority.

Brand new clek foonf upon taking it out of the sealed box had the steel bar that runs horizontally through the bottom part of the forward-facing belt path missing the end-cap on the child's right side, and the bar was halfway out of the seat. While it could be pushed in, it could also be easily pushed out. Serial number (under bar code); 0200a1558735
