Clek Booster Car Seats
Clek builds booster car seats for the years after the convertible: the school run, the carpool shuffle, the kid who insists on buckling herself in. The Canadian engineering brief is narrow and serious, side-impact protection, steel-reinforced frames, energy-absorbing foam, and crypton fabrics that survive juice boxes and field-trip mud.
What's in the Clek booster collection
The lineup covers two stages of the booster years. High-back boosters give younger riders structured head and torso support with deep side wings and headrest height adjustment. Backless boosters take over once kids have outgrown the shell but still need correct belt positioning, typically through age 10 or 12 depending on height. Both formats install with rigid LATCH on compatible models, which clicks the seat to the vehicle anchors instead of leaving it loose between rides.
Who these booster seats are for
Parents transitioning a child out of a five-point harness, families managing three-across back seats in compact cars, and anyone who wants a booster that looks considered next to the rest of the car interior. The fabrics are flame-retardant-free on most models, which matters if you've been reading car seat ingredient labels.
Key features across the range
- Rigid LATCH installation on full-featured models, no seatbelt routing required for the booster itself
- Energy-absorbing foam and steel-reinforced frame for side-impact and crash performance
- Adjustable headrest and recline to keep the vehicle seatbelt positioned across the shoulder and hips correctly as your child grows
- Crypton performance fabric options, stain and odor resistant, useful for long-haul road trips
- Narrow footprint designed to fit three across in most mid-size sedans and SUVs
How Clek fits into the broader car seat picture
If your child is still rear-facing or forward-facing in a harness, start with our infant car seats or convertible car seat collections. Once they've outgrown the harness by height or weight, the full booster car seats for toddlers and children assortment, including Clek, takes them through to seatbelt-only riding. For families building out the rest of the gear closet, see baby gear for strollers, carriers, and travel accessories that pair with these seats.
When to switch from harness to booster
Most pediatric safety guidance recommends keeping a child in a five-point harness as long as they fit it by height and weight, often until age 5 or 6. The move to a high-back booster happens when the child can sit upright for the whole ride and the harness has been outgrown. Backless boosters come later, once the high-back shell is outgrown but the lap and shoulder belt still don't sit correctly without a boost.
Why Clek
The brand has won repeat recognition from independent crash-test reviewers, and the design language, clean lines, deep colorways, no cartoon graphics, is the reason these seats end up in the cars of parents who care how the back seat looks. Safety credentials and a back seat you don't mind looking at; the two don't usually arrive together.
