What is the Fllo?

CLEK FLLO CONVERTIBLE CAR SEAT IS HERE!!

What is the Fllo?

Clek’s compact convertible car seat

Fllo says a lot about you. It says I love my kid. I buy quality. I dig design.
And, I'm proud to be a Canuck!

FEATURES:

Extended Rear-Facing Installation
Fllo was designed to international best practices for extended rear-facing use. Fllo comes with a Steel Anti-Rebound Bar, which improves stability by limiting rotation of the child seat, helping protect your child’s head from impact in the event of a collision.

Advanced Side-Impact Protection
Fllo was designed to protect the child's head in a side-impact collision through:
Adjustable Headrest with Deep Side Wings: Energy-absorbing EPP foam-lined headrest connected to the frame using steel rods ensures maximum head protection in a side-impact collision.
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 transferred to your child.
Metal Substructure: Steel substructure prevents twisting to keep child contained and protected in the child seat.

Automotive Inspired Crumple Technology
The Energy-Absorbing Crumple Technology integrated into every Fllo child seat protects your child much like the crumple zones in the cars we drive — one of the most effective innovations in automotive safety.
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. Fllo was engineered to actively reduce the forces transmitted to your child in a collision using aluminum honeycomb deformable cores, which mimic the crumple zone technology found in vehicles.

Improved Rear-Facing Installation
Unique design improves Rear-Facing installation with an easy-access belt path, small footprint and Anti-Rebound Bar that provide a snug installation with ease.

GREENGUARD Select Certified
Crypton® Super Fabrics are GREENGUARD Select Certified and provide permanent protection against stains, moisture and odor-causing bacteria, and free of brominated and chlorinated flame retardants.

Approved for use in Aircraft

Finally Here - Clek Foonf Convertible Car Seat

Name of product(s): CLEK Foonf Convertible Car Seat
Department: Car Seats
Company(ies): Clek

Price(s): $475+

                              

Why is it exciting/interesting:

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.

Safety Recall: Britax Convertible Car Seats

Attention Moms to be ... and More customers,

Please note due to the current recall issued by Transport Canada the following action MUST be taken. Please contact Britax Child Safety at 1-888-427-4829 and they will be more than happy to assist you in replacing the Hugs System for your car seat. Please check that your car seat was manufactured between June 1st and August 31st 2012 before contacting Britax. Car seats manufactured on September 1st 2012 are NOT affected by the recall.

Please note that no injuries or incidents were reported in Canada. As well, Britax car seats are tested without the hugs technology so your child remains safe in their car seat.

Moms to be...and More

 

Manufactured Dates: 

Between June1, 2012 & August 31, 2012

HUGS ( Harness Ultra Guard System) Chest pads are affixed to the seat shell to ensure proper positioning and provide resistance to the forward movement of your child in a crash, reducing the risk of head injury.

The affected Boulevard 65 -G3, Pavillion 65 - G3, and Advocate 65 - G3 Convertible car seats were manufactured with this enhanced harness system that incorporated a softer more pliable, non-toxic HUGS pad intended to provide increased performance and comfort. Britax has receieved reports that some children bite or chew on the pads and have bitten off small pieces of the pads which could present a choking hazard, especially in infants. 

Look for the white label on the child's left-hand side of the seat near the head/ear area. 

This label displays the seat's serial number, manufacture date, and batch number.

If you have not yet received your remedy kit and have concerns that your child may bite the HUGS pads, they can be removed and the car seat can be safely used until replacement pads are received. As always please ensure that proper harness tensioning is achieved.
