Clek Oobr Review – Is it right for you in 2024?It’s so comfortable that the young boy didn’t notice the change…

Some friends of ours have gotten the stage to upgrade their car seats. They have a son who’s autistic. And he deals quite badly with change.

He got used to the previous car seat. But over the years, he has outgrown it. The parents we worried that they had invested the money in this car seat and he won’t like it. To make things worse, he might throw an uncontrollable tantrum.

Guess what?

The transition was as smooth as possible. Little Johnny loved the car seat at first sight. There were no issues at all. This was a huge relief for the parents. No fussing, no nothing, just acceptance.

This high back booster seat is built like a vehicle seat, so the transition from this to normal car seat will be smooth as well.

Let’s get this Clek Oobr review started. If you stick with me until the end, I will tell you the pros/cons. Some of them are unexpected, to say the least.

Who is the Clek Oobr High Back Booster Car Seat?

This car seat is for parents who enjoy the finer things in life. The look and feel of this car seat are out of this world.

It protects your child, and it’s comfortable. Plus, the looks are a head-turner.

What can the Clek Oobr car seat do for you?

If you’re tired of the same old look of car seats, then this will be a fresh one to you. I always loved Clek products because they are different. The design is cool, plus it has an outstanding safety rating. Not to mention, it’s easy to install.

There are many colors to choose from, and they all are classy. The rigid latch system makes it easy to install. I mean, you can’t get it wrong. It won’t move or wiggle if there’s a crash.

The frame is metal and sturdy. It will keep your child safe no matter what. It offers side impact protection. The recline feature will allow your child to sleep without the floppy head syndrome.

The headrest is just like any ordinary car seat.

If you want to avoid toxic chemicals, then this is the right choice for you. Maybe your child has sensitive skin; you can rest assured that the material is safe. Do you know those cheap car seats that need de-gassing? Well, it’s not the case with the Clek Oobr.

This car seat comes with a special material that’s stain resistant. Since you can’t remove it to wash it, the only solution is the spot cleaning. Thanks to this green material, it’s so easy to keep it clean.

Clek Oobr shortcomings

I haven’t found the perfect car seat yet. I’m still looking for it. So the Clek Oobr has some flaws. This review wouldn’t be complete if I wouldn’t mention them to you. Here they are, and let’s see if it’s a deal-breaker for you.

There’s no beating around the bush. This is a premium car seat. You need a budget if you want it. Is it worth it? Most parents say so because it looks cool and protects the child no matter what. Plus, it’s made in Canada, not in some low wage 3rd world country.

With the high price, they missed out on a cup holder. By default, there’s no such thing in the box. Now you can go and clip one on. I would’ve loved it if it came with one.

Now, this is a biggie. Depending on your car type, this car seat might cover the belt buckle. The issue usually comes if the belt buckle is rigid. Then most likely, this car seat will cover it. This means that it will be impossible to buckle your child in.

The best solution for it is to get a seatbelt extender. Once you have installed that, you’re set. The seatbelt extenders are just a few dollars, so no biggie at all.

Well, that’s about it. The last issue is the most important one and the easiest to fix. You might want to think ahead. So you won’t have to deal with it right before leaving on a trip.

These are the flaws of the Clek Oobr. What do you think is it still worth it? If you’re still with me, let’s continue with the next section.

How To Get The Most Out Of Clek Oobr High Back Booster Car Seat?

After you’ve got it out of the box, you need to decide where you’ll mount this car seat. The safest place is in the middle of the car. Now it might not work for you; I get it. Then your second safest choice is behind the driver.

The installation is super easy. The rigid latch system install is a breeze. Listen for the right-click and then to the left one, and you’re set.  That’s it. Now, if you want to be extra sure, then do get a second opinion from a licensed expert.

One more important thing I want to mention. We all know how kids are. You tell them not to do something over a thousand times, and they will still do it. I’m talking about the front seats. No matter what you do, they will get dirty. For this, I recommend the Clek mat to protect the front row.
