 "A booster with rigid latch = A+ safety" 2010-08-29
By LoCoMom (Powder Springs, GA United States)

I'm really pleased to have found a booster seat that has LATCH. The Clek Olli is one of the top rated boosters by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety; that's what brought this brand to my attention. I originally purchased a regular (evenflo) backless booster. I disliked how it could rock and slide on the seat even though my child exceeds the height and weight minimums and the seat was properly installed. I also didn't like that the seat had to be belted in when the child isn't in the car. Otherwise, it could become a dangerous flying missile in a sudden deceleration. Since this Olli booster is for my husband's car (not one that the child is in daily,) it seemed better to have a seat that would utilize the LATCH system. The Clek Olli installs one-handed in about 4 seconds. You can hear the seat click into place. The armrests help guide the auto's seatbelt into proper position. My child says that the seat is comfortable and when we specifically asked about the seat bottom, he says it feels good. After researching Magna Clek, my next purchase will be a Clek Oobr to replace a Britax Marathon. I'd recommend this seat to friends. I think that the extra price is worth it for the peace of mind of a booster with rigid LATCH.

These are the best booster seats and well worth the money. Do not hesitate if you are booster searching and come across the Clek Olli Booster, this was new for us and we do not regret getting one for each of our 2 children which are still using them at ages 6 and 8, children weighing about 50lbs each. So easy to put in and take out, Love it!!

 "What a wonderful product!" 2010-01-28
By Suzy (Pinckney, MI)
Since the law has changed that requires children to be in a booster seat for a longer period of time I was searching for a seat that would be comfortable as well as safe. I know I wouldn't want to sit on a piece of hard plastic with just a thin pad to buffer so I began my search. The Cleck Olli seat has exceeded my expectation because it is not just comfortable, it is perfect during the winter months because it is warm - unlike the cold plastic of seats you purchase from mega-stores. It is also durable and I love the fact that it "clicks" into the bars that are in the seats of whichever vehicle you are driving thus providing a safety feature beyond compare.

 "The best backless booster seat ever!" 2010-01-23
By lizzy
Why oh why wasn't this seat around for my first child? It is in perfect shape after over 1.5 years, with daily use, switching between cars, and a fair number of long trips. It fits perfectly in overhead compartments on planes. Even a couple of taxi drivers have written down the info to get one for their own kids and/or their cabs. Comfortable (according to my son), ultra-convenient, and durable. No more concerns about the seat sliding when the child is getting in and out of high seats. More expensive, but worth every penny.

 "doesn't fit suburban well" 2010-01-09
By Mom in MT
I really like the features of this seat but in our 2005 suburban (newer model may be different) it sits too far from the seat back leaving a space. In our Enclave, the latches are so far back I have a hard time releasing the latches for removal which is good if it was going to be a permanant seat in that car.

I purchased this booster seat for my 3 yr old daughter, she loves it.. she seems more comfortable in it than in her old car seat. It was so easy to install and it's easy to take out and put in our other vehicles. I defintely would recommend this car seat to anyone, it is pricey, but it is well worth the money.

 "Nothing out there beats the quality" 2009-10-19
By Artsy mom
I recently bought this seat in solid black (rather than the Paul Frank version), for $[...]. I must say I am very impressed by this brand new seat (I think it was released in late 2008). Can be used in a variety of configurations: full back mode (33-100lbs, height 38-57in, at least 3yrs old; backless mode: 40-100lbs, height 40-57in, at least 4yrs. Comes in various colors (pink, brown, black, plus the scurvy and colorful stripy one). Conforms to Federal Motor Standards. Not certified for airline use (because airplane seats don't have shoulder belts).



Here is a list of features you will not find in the Graco popular booster seat:



1. To my mind, the biggest and most important (though not necessarily obvious to parents looking to upgrade from a convertible seat) advantage of all Clek seats: LATCH. Meaning that this seat, along with your child on it, is securely planted on the back seat and cannot move around. I remain unconvinced by seats held in place only by the seat belt and the weight of a child. Both the backless Clek booster and this one with the back (Oobr) have LATCH. Oobr in particular features an ingenious extendable LATCH that will pull out to firmly grab the deepest and most inaccessible LATCH bars.

2. Magnesium back frame to better protect the torso during a side impact and vehicle intrusion; enough said!

3. Back seat is not only removable (the lower part of the seat can be used independently, like a regular Clek seat), it also *reclines* up to 12o. Perfect for snoozing!

4. Structural headrest with deep side wings that support the head during naps, and yet do not obscure side views. The headrest connects to the magnesium frame of the back using steel rods to reduce twisting movements and improve head protection in a collision. The headrest is also height-adjustable: it has a button and several adjustment spots and can be pulled up a good 20 cm, meaning it will grow with your child. This is so well designed it looks like a regular car seat headdress in a high end vehicle.

5. Energy-absorbing foam layer to absorb energy of a side impact.

6. Nicely designed and easy to use belt guides facilitating a snug fit of the seat belt on the child's shoulders

7. Nicely padded bottom and back that doesn't cut circulation, especially e.g. under legs.

8. Performance 'Crypton' fabric: stain, moisture and bacteria- resistant. Easy to clean.

9. Plastic parts, including cup holder, are high quality. In fact, 100% North American derived content! No flimsy or suspect materials here.

10. Feels lightweight despite the sturdiness.



Other pros:

1. Ease of use- took me 3 mins to install the seat, another 1 min to buckle my son in.

2. All black version looks great, with its red contrasting parts (not too sure about the Paul Frank designs, seem overstylized to me; who wants to be driving this stripy crazy thing around for the next 5 years?).

3. Comes with a detailed instructions booklet that can be stored in a special place under the seat.



Cons:

-Price: but safety features and excellent design justify the sacrifice.

-Side contour in conjunction with armrest position reported to be somewhat restricting by my son. But maybe that's the point (to keep the child from moving around).



Overall would highly recommend!

This is the best booster because it anchors with the Latch system. Super easy install and removal, and my kids love the Paul Frank seat cover. My daughter is 5.5 and she is really tall.

 "Super easy" 2010-03-10
By B. Salgado (MS)
I really like this booster seat. It has an awesome Paul Frank print and is a breeze to get in and out of the car. However, the little rubber-like padding it has on the arm rests was like a magnet for my son, who quickly tore it up by pulling it out of the recessed area on the top portion of the arm rest. The material used for the seat cover is soft, but gets dirty pretty quickly. The super easy removal and installation of this booster seat almost makes me forget the cheesy rubber bits still stuck in the glue on the arm rests and the now dingy blue color surrounding all the monkey faces...until I remember how much I paid for this seat!

 "ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER" 2009-09-18
By K. FRACE (San Diego, CA USA)
This was an amazing purchase especially through Amazon. [...]. Compared to the cheap $24 booster available out there, this one is more "cushy for my daughter's tushy". I can't believe all these times she's been sitting on a piece of plastic w/a cloth wrapped over it. I love the latches on these Paul Frank ones because it keeps the seat in place when my daughter gets up and down from the chair. The only thing I could complain about is Not having a cupholder, and the side pocket doesn't hold much except for may be some small toys (very small). But I managed to find a cup holder that hangs on the window sill of the door so, wouldn't trade this carseat for anything else. I am so glad I invested money in this, for the comfort of my daughter, amazon's price is WELL WORTH IT.

 "Worth the extra $$" 2010-03-06
By Kevin Mckay (Pacific Northwest, USA)
When our grandson grew to transition from car-seat to booster we did some shopping around for the best option and this product came out tops. The fact that it clips into the LATCH hooks means it isn't going anyplace in the event of an accident, and it stays put when not in use as well. The quick-release pull in front makes the Olli stand out from the other Clek model, and really makes taking this out of the car super quick and easy. Pushing it into the LATCH hooks is also just as easy as push and click.



If you can afford the extra $$ over some of the other non-latching boosters, you will enjoy the added security of a more-secure booster.



Oh, and our grandson loves it. Not just for the monkey, but he says it is more comfortable, too. For that part of this review Il have to take his word for it.

 "best booster seat ever" 2009-06-05
By G. Kim (Dallas, TX)
I have both the Britax Parkway and Britax Regent. Although they are both nice, they are not as convenient in carrying for travel to the airport. They are still big and bulky. I've read so many reviews on this booster on other sites, and I've read nothing but great things. This booster is for kids that are 40 pounds and up or 4 years and up. So if your child is younger, you'll have to wait to buy this. This comes with a strap that you can clip on and carry like a bag when traveling. I love Paul Frank, so this design was really cute. The one key factor in purchasing this item was that it is the only booster that has latch-on clips that clip into your car like a regular carseat. For some reason, boosters on the market do not have this specialization. I find it odd that every company doesn't do this to ensure secure immobility for the seat. It is very easy to install, unlike others and the covers are washable. The front pull release is great too, if you do not have time, you will love this feature. I like it so much, I'm thinking of buying another one for my younger son when he weighs enough for it.

 "Solid Seat" 2010-02-23
By Amazon shopper (MN)
Was looking for the next-step seat to replace the Britax Roundabout. Loved the Roundabout & Britax products so I went searching through their lineup but was unhappy with the installation of the Frontier and all the mixed reviews it had received. The Clek Oobr is just what I was looking for - the highest safety rating possible with a simple installation that will likely be the last seat we need (as it converts to a backless booster for children up to 57" and 100 lbs). This seat is definitely the most sturdy booster I have looked at and makes the Graco booster (leftover from my first child) feel like a toy. The reclining feature is a bonus for a booster seat, but we have yet to use this feature for snoozing yet as most of our car trips are under 15 min. You do use the recline to install the seat when using the ridged latch. I had never seen a ridged latch prior to this seat and it was one of the reasons I was unsure about ordering it. For all of you out there like me, I'll do my best to describe it. Instead of the latch hooks hanging on the end of an adjustable belt that loops through the back of the seat (as in the case of the Roundabout), the "ridged latch" hooks are built into the base of the seat. To install this seat, you pull the recline handle and the base of the seat towards you. This action extends the two latch "arms" from the back of the seat, which you then line up with your seat latch eyes (not sure if thats the right term?) and click into place. You can then adjust the seat to your preferred recline. It is very easy and (I feel) even more secure than the latches on the adjustable belt because there is never any "slack" to worry about. We used this seat recently in a vehicle without the latch system for the first time and although it is not as obviously not as stationary as when it is used with latch, I felt it fit much more snug than the other boosters I have experienced. At 35 lbs and 39" my child is at the very bottom of what is recommended for this seat, but the seat does a perfect job of keeping the belts in the correct position even on her small frame. Only had the seat a month, but the fabric appears to be durable so I am optimistic - only time will tell. Amazon had the best price I could find, and although it isn't cheap I feel the price is justified by the quality of the seat and the length of time we will be using it. Definitely would recommend to others. As always, quick shipping from Amazon!

I like the features - headrest, drink holder, but it felt a little stiff and not as cushy as my daughter's Maclaren car seat, given that this is a Booster - for older kids, and the safest one on the market, comfort isn't the priority...but still...I wish it had a little more cushion.

By L. Musselman (Louisville, KY United States)
I agree with other reviewers in that this seat feels very sturdy and heavy. I was a little concerned moving my 3 1/2 yr. old out of his car seat, but it had just gotten too small and hard to buckle. This booster seat was the perfect next step, despite it's high price tag. My 7 1/2 yr. old just got out of her booster seat, so I feel like I'll have this for another 4 yrs. This booster feels very safe. Going around turns, sometimes my 5 yr. old will tip over a bit in her booster seat - not a chance of it happening in this one.

 "Fabulous Booster Seat!!" 2009-11-13
By Kate (Geneva, IL)
We've had our new car seats for about two weeks. I love them and so do my twins (they call them their monkey chairs). These are by far the sturdiest booster seats I've ever come across. The latch installation is wonderful and I love being able to recline them for long car rides. These are expensive car seats, but my babies will be in them from three years until at least 8 years because of state law. This is the first booster seat I've come across that I have felt actually warranted its extra expense.

 "The seat is a 5+ BUT shop around for price" 2009-09-13
By Q
We received our Snowberry Oobr a couple days ago, and the seat is VERY impressive.



With the rigid LATCH system it feels as secure and solid as the Britax Regent we previously had our almost 7yo harnessed in; no sliding around as my child tries to get in it, it doesn't budge. It also makes it an utter breeze to install or remove - it is literally a 5 second job. Plus, the rigid LATCH allows this booster to 'recline' which might come in handy for long road trips.



The seat itself is heavier than the Graco TurboBooster we had occasionally used up to this point, but it is SO much more substantial feeling that it almost makes the TurboBooster feel like a 'toy' in comparison. It genuinely feels like more than just a 'booster' to position my child so that the seatbelt can protect her in a crash (though it does that too), but rather that the seat itself will provide protection like her harnessed seats up to this point. Plus, the Oobr doesn't fall apart when carried by the back like the TurboBooster always does.



The headrest adjusts just like, and feels just like, those on my car. Again not flimsy plastic that feels like it might break just being adjusted; this feels like something that could actually stand up to a crash. Plus, the sidewings are deep enough to 'cradle' my daugher's head and look like they would provide protection in a crash, but do not seem to bother her or impede her view, etc.



The fabric is made to withstand spills, etc, though we haven't had any of those yet to test it out. I can say that it feels more like upholstery than just a 'fabric' cover.



Finally there is a booster that I feel comfortable moving my daughter to (who, yes, has been harnessed far longer than many others; even though she is very tall for her age). I'd give the seat well over 5 stars, but I do recommend shopping around for pricing as there seems to be some variance out there.



Edit to add 11/20/09: Like the other reviewer observed, we will likely be using this seat for 3 years (though my daughter is already about to turn 7), even though she will be allowed by *law* to ride w/o a booster in just over a year. Since automotive engineers design seatbelts for those 4'9" and taller, it will likely be at *least* 9-10yo before my tall-for-her-age daugther meets the height for which seatbelts were designed to be used safely. Yes, that means she will be using this booster after we are legally obligated to do so. But, we've always gone by her safety over the minimums established by law (ie. she rear-faced longer than the minimum required by law, and was in a 5pt harness long after she met the legal minimum to move to a booster). Because we will get this long use out of it (and then likely get another 3 years use with her little sister, before the seat expires), we too feel it was worth the expense.



Edit to add 12/23/09: Just a quick update since we just took it on our first long (8+ hr) trip - the slight recline and the deep head wings made it very easy for my 50" tall almost 7yo to nap in the car! She was able to sleep without her head flopping about, and while remaining upright enough for the seatbelt to stay properly positioned. Also worth noting: the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety just named the Clek Oobr as one of their "best picks" in highback boosters for proper positioning (out of 60 seats evaluated).
