Picked up a new car seat for the Abarth. It’s a Clek Foonf. I’ve handled quite a few different car seat brands, and this one is by far the best. It’s very heavy duty, and was extremely easy to install. I’m usually ready to burn the car to the ground after installing a car seat, but this thing snapped right in.

It uses latch rails rather than tethers, so all you do is line them up with the car’s latches then push the seat back until it clicks. You don’t have to worry about pulling any tethers tight enough so the seat doesn’t slide around. Its very compact, and leaves plenty of room for another car seat in the back of my Abarth with plenty of space between it and the side of the car.

Very nice, adding that to the list of forward facing seats. I have a Britax for the mrs car from credit card points but I do need another one....

For some reason I read “Dad Mods” and thought of this.

Much dad. Let the dad dancing commence.

Jesus. That movie came out before I was born, so it would be grandpa dancing for my kids.

I desperately want to get the Recaro child seats to match the Recaros in my FoST, but sadly already have a fully functioning seat we had before we bought the ST.

that’s actually a really nice looking seat, just simple with it’s two colours, and the design is very pleasing, almost minimalist.

I was excited when mine both got to booster seat age, as I’d had these recaro branded (made under license I’m sure, not actually by recaro) sitting around a year or two before they were big enough to use them :D

I was going to get my older daughter a Recaro booster, but after buying this seat for my younger daughter I may just get a Clek booster. Apparently everything is made in North America. The seats are pretty expensive (I got this one used at about a 80% discount), but the boosters aren’t too bad.

I cant blame you, that Clek seat is a good looking seat, and assuming it’s rating are as high, I’m sure the booster would be a fine choice
