Update: my full review of the Clek Fllo is available here!
The 2015 Clek Fllo is a seat I’ve been writing about and looking forward to for a while, and I’m excited to say that we now have an official release date and official prices! I’ve previously written about the importance of car safety, and how important it is to practice Extended Rear Facing, or ERF, in car seats. Of course, there are a few seats capable of RF until 50 pounds, including the Foonf by Canadian manufacturer Clek. However, Clek is adding another with the Fllo, which is poised to be a game-changer in the field. And here is some more information!
The Clek Fllo will start shipping as of August 29th, 2014! You can pre-order it now via the following links. It might be a good idea to pre-order, as if shipping and pricing is anything like it was for Diono with the Rainier, Pacifica, and Olympia, it might take a while for these to actually become available once the initial set of seats have been purchased, and the prices will spike significantly once the demand starts to outstrip the supply. Remember, the Rainier was originally priced at 315 while the Pacifica was priced at $280. Those prices went up once they started shipping and became backlogged.
Where Can I Preorder the 2015 Clek Fllo?
You can order the Fllo from Amazon via the following links. I tend to use Amazon for my car seat purchases because they have an excellent return policy and because the seats always arrive in excellent condition, which makes a big difference with something that really shouldn’t be dropped or manhandled when being shipped.
The Fllo will be available in four prints: Drift, Ink, Flamingo, and the psychedelic Tokidoki All-Over. I’ll likely pick up the Drift for my review.
2015 Clek Fllo in “Drift” from 349.99
2015 Clek Fllo in “Ink” from 379.99
Clek Fllo Compared to Clek Foonf
What are the advantages of the Fllo compared to the Foonf? Well, for one, it’s going to be a bit cheaper. Second, since the Fllo will sit lower than the Foonf, it’ll save some room and will give you the ability to see behind you a bit better when driving, which is enough to make a number of parents consider it over the Foonf.
Personally, I think the Fllo is going to be a great seat, and I can’t wait to get my hands on one (it won’t be long!). The price point is lower and the aesthetic is a bit different, but the goal is still to provide unparalleled safety blended wonderfully with style. I’ll have a review as soon as I have one in my hands.
Here are the crucial stats:
2015 Clek Fllo Rear-Facing
Weight Limits: 14-50 lbs (same as Foonf).
Height Limits: 25-43 in (same as Foonf).
Seat Weight: 25 lbs (lower than the 38 lbs of the Foonf!)
Seat Width: 16.9 in (smaller than 17 in of the Foonf)
Front/Back: 29 in without anti-rebound bar, 32.5 in with (smaller than 33 in of Foonf)
Seat Height: 23.5 in (shorter than 25.75 in of Foonf)
2015 Clek Fllo Forward-Facing
Weight Limits: 22-65 lbs (same as Foonf).
Height Limits: 30-49 in (same as Foonf).

Seat Width: 16.9 in (smaller than 17 in of the Foonf)
Seat Height: 26-30.5 in (shorter than 28.25-32.5 in Foonf)
Again, I’ll have a review up as soon as I get my hands on one. It shouldn’t be long!
