One of the most common questions that I get asked is, “What’s my favorite car seat?” I haven’t answered it before and honestly, I’ve strayed from it just because there are a lot of opinions on car seats. SO with that being said, I’m just going to briefly give details on our favorite brand, why we love it and where you can grab one.
The car seat: Clek Foonf
Favorite features: I love this car seat for several reasons; it’s easy to install, convertible in the fact that you can rear face and forward face when ready and the frame is sturdy and strong. I really researched car seats and honestly have owned a few. We had an incident with Blake when she was about 4 months old where she stopped breathing in the car due to acid reflux and the recline she was sitting at. We went out that next day and purchased a convertible car seat to have a little more control over the recline settings (at a safe recline), but still keep her rear facing. It had been about a year and then we were lucky enough to get the Clek Foonf. It’s been game changing. Honestly, just the sturdiness alone makes me feel safe. It’s totally adjustable in almost every aspect (headrest, recline, rear/forward facing, belt installation, latch installation). The list goes on and on. Their safety ratings are exceptional (which was most important to me) and Blake is comfortable in her seat while we drive around (which was the second most important thing on my list). It fits well in my car and we even had another seat in the back with it while my sister was in town last week and it was totally fine with enough room for me to sit in the middle seat. The seat is heavy to lift, but I like that because in my eyes it attests to its safety features. I recommend this seat to everyone and will use it from the beginning with our next babe.
Where to buy: You can purchase directly on their site, here or find a local location they sell at, here.
They have two convertible car seat options and an array of booster seats. You can learn more about their car seats on their site!

This article popped up on Pinterest and I thought, I wonder what her favorite is, because I know which one is really the best. Sure enough, the foonf! We love ours! And we just bought our second for our new little guy! It’s such a safe feeling, sturdy seat!

We love our Clek seats! We have one for each car, because they’re so dang heavy I couldn’t handle switching them anymore. And they came out with the minty aqua colour and I couldn’t resist. What kind of car is this you drive? We have ours in a Mini Cooper Countryman and it’s a tad squishy but not unmanageable!
