Foonf is Clek’s no-compromise convertible child seat—introducing revolutionary safety technology, innovative convenience features, and 100-percent recyclable materials. 

The Revolutionary REACT™—
Rapid Energy-Absorbing Crumple
Technology— Safety System.

One of the most effective innovations in automotive safety is the crumple zone, the area of the vehicle that is designed to deform and crumple in a collision. The crumple zone absorbs energy in an impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants. Much like the crumple zones that protect us in the cars we drive, the crumple zone system integrated into every Foonf child seat protects your child, reducing the forces transmitted to the child in a frontal collision* by up to 40%.

• Aluminum Honeycomb Cartridge
• Magnesium Sled Housing
• Steel Rigid LATCH Structure

How REACT™ Safety System works.

In a collision, the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, but the child continues to move at the same speed. The less time that it takes for the child to come to a complete stop, the higher the forces exerted on the child. The REACT system allows that sudden change in momentum to happen over a longer period of time through a series of controlled events. The child seat is designed to ride down the collision crumpling the aluminum honeycomb and absorbing energy from the collision resulting in less force transferred to the child.
Foonf is built to keep your child rear-facing longer (rated rear-facing up to 45 lbs.)* and protect them in case of a side-impact collision

Rear-facing safety systems:
Anti-Rebound Bar
In rear-facing mode, Foonf’s anti-rebound bar improves stability by limiting rotation of the child seat, helping protect your child’s head from impact in the case of a collision.

Side-impact safety systems:

Rigid Sub-Structure
Foonf is reinforced by a steel and magnesium substructure.
Energy-Absorbing Foam Layers
Foam layers on both the inside and outside of the frame protect your child by absorbing energy in a side-impact collision, resulting in less force directly upon your child.
Structural Headrest with Deep Side Wings
Energy-absorbing foam-lined headrest connected to frame using steel rods provides maximum head protection in a side-impact collision.
Featuring Clek’s signature Rigid-LATCH installation and a narrow width profile, Foonf is the convertible child seat that actually makes a parent’s job easier.
Rigid LATCH
Hands down, the easiest forward-facing installation in its class, our Rigid-LATCH system makes proper installation effortless.
Seat 3-Across
Foonf boasts a super-skinny width-profile under 17 inches wide providing space that makes 3-across seating possible.
Smooth Recline
Foonf includes an easy-to-engage, smooth recline function, making each ride more comfortable.
Integrated Magnets
Keeps harnesses open to make taking your child in and out easier.
Improved Rear-Facing Installation in Smaller Vehicles
Unique design improves rear-facing installation in smaller vehicles by taking
up less fore-aft space.
100% Recyclable
After your children outgrow the seat, Foonf lives on. Clek has formed a strategic partnership network throughout Canada and the United States to manage the disassembly of our seats. The entire seat—from plastic and metal to foam and fabric—is recycled and used to make new products.
Drift is the only Foonf edition that is NOT tailored with Crypton^® Super Fabrics. Drift is a sporty edition constructed of automotive, anti-bacterial fabric without a moisture barrier.
