I'm loving it bc my mom is so tall but I'm wondering about the sleeping issue of it being more upright than her combi. Did your LOs get used to it or did you finagle it to recline more? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-952751 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 12:29:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 952751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: We just installed ours this weekend too . . . it is a BEAST of a seat! LO also really really like being able to see . . . I may even be able to sit up front with my DH now! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950992 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:58:49 +0000 ChelseaRose 950992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I'm glad you got it in time and so happy it fits so well. My husband dad it looks like an airplane seat. Lol. I guess because we got the blue one. Either way we are happy with it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950965 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:49:22 +0000 PrincessBaby 950965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Yes bc it takes up less space than our maxi cosi mico (on the base) and really doesnt stick out (as far as the actual seat) any more than the mico...And the mico fits in mini coopers!</p> <p>We put the foonf in my husband's extended cab Z71, so it's not even a true doublecab/4door/normal back seat, and it fits nicely! It's sooooo nice! I really love it! You will not be disappointed! It's also awesome to see the steel bars in the back and know that if we're in an accident, those bars will take the force of the impact, not my LO's body! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950957 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:43:20 +0000 littlek 950957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: do you think it would fit in the backseat of 2 door Accord? We need get convertible car seat for DHs car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950942 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:34:08 +0000 matador84 950942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might have to put the Britax in DH's car when LO 2 gets here because the foonf is getting amazing reviews...and with 2 car seats...omg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950929 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:28:31 +0000 PrincessBaby 950929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: I did get 20% off- thank you!!! And we got snowberry:). I cant figure out how it takes up so little space while being so roomy but it does and is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950925 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:25:57 +0000 ChelseaRose 950925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Yay! Which one did you end up getting? Did you order in time to get 20% off? We really like it so far too. Lots of room and doesn't take up too much space in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-950911 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 20:20:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 950911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: @ChelseaRose: You GUYS! We installed it today and it's awesome! I'm so impressed with how nice it is! I totallywish I could have one for me!!! She seemed so much happier in it than her Maxi Cosi! And it doesnt hang off the seat at all and is pretty compact as far as how much space it takes! It looks big but somehow fits really nicely in a tight space...I can see how 3 would fit EASILY in most back seats. Looooove it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-948930 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:28:43 +0000 allison 948930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: haha, yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one spending $400 on a car seat ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-948552 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 15:08:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 948552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I think you started something here...before you posted this thread, I had never heard of this. Now, it seems to be catching on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-947253 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:25:07 +0000 littlek 947253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious what people think.. I showed DH and he didn't get what the rage was about it and he has no money spending money on stuff for LO... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-947002 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:47:38 +0000 ChelseaRose 947002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just arrived! Can't wait to get it installed and try it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-929681 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 00:05:51 +0000 ChelseaRose 929681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: @PrincessBaby: Sent!

If anyone wants me to forward the email, I can.

I was kinda on the fence before, but when I realized that I could get it for that price there was no more hesitation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-929177 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 18:49:53 +0000 allison 929177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: Um, that's an AMAZING price! So jealous! What color? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-929069 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:34:16 +0000 ChelseaRose 929069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered one! I got it for $270 from Albee baby, which isn't much more than other seats! They had an email promotion earlier this week for 20% off a non discounted item (which was $400 before the discount) and I had a $50 gift card from a previous purchase. So excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/3#post-912317 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:41:35 +0000 allison 912317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: :heart: YAY! :heart: That print is SO cute. I'm hoping for a girl for #2, so I can get a cute girly print ;)</p> <p>How old is your LO? If you have issues with head slump while sleeping, we've had success with messing with the angle by pulling on the back while tightening the belt. Just FYI :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-912230 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 09:59:42 +0000 runsyellowlites 912230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Love that print!!!!!! I'm pretty sure I have DH on board to get us some.... tehe :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-912204 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 09:44:32 +0000 chopsuey 912204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: omg this is so cute!

We are getting a second Foonf for DH's car (but his car won't be here until August, so he hasn't picked the fabric yet!) Thank you so much for this thread and for making me aware of this awesome beast of a car seat! </p> [attach=2207/13/mpmgsq.600x600.Clek.Foonf.HeartShades.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-903607 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 11:10:36 +0000 allison 903607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I got the Maxi Cosi Mico. It gets great reviews, has side impact protection, and, because it's a European brand, has a smaller footprint than most. But I regret getting it because it has a lower weight/height limit than most other infant seats. My LO was in the 50th percentile until he was born! Now he's 97th... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-903578 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 11:04:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 903578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: which infant car seat did you use/ like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-902054 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:54:48 +0000 deactivated_account 902054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I had never heard of that blog before. The author's review of the car seat was very comprehensive. But I am now mostly intersted in what the other Hello Bee members have had to say about her. In any event, I will be checking out her blog sometime soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-901858 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:36:02 +0000 allison 901858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I still don't really understand, but whatever! I'm just going to go with the car seat manual, like you said :)</p> <p>I'm totally going to do the pool noodle if his head slumps still. Thank you for the suggestion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-clek-foonf/page/2#post-901843 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:32:17 +0000 runsyellowlites 901843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Some seats have more than one recline position for rear facing... I didn't check the foonf so that's what I meant. Depending on what the manual says the recline needs to be at. From my understanding some vehicles have different allowance &amp; restrictions... if it doesn't say anything about it in there then I would just go by the foonf manual. </p>
