wtf? What’s the foonf? by clek

Automotive safety innovation. Now for your child.

Foonf is Clek’s new convertible car seat – introducing revolutionary safety technology, innovative convenience features, and it’s recyclable.

The revolutionary REACT (Rapid Energy-Absorbing Crumple Technology) safety system. One of the most effective innovations in automotive safety is the crumple zone, the area of the vehicle that is designed to deform and crumple in a collision. The crumple zone absorbs energy in an impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants. Much like the crumple zones that protect us in the cars we drive, the crumple zone system integrated into every Foonf child seat protects your child, reducing the forces transmitted to your forward-facing child in a frontal collision by up to 40%.

How REACT works:

In a collision, the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, but the child continues to move at the same speed. The less time that it takes for the child to come to a complete stop, the higher the forces exerted on the child. The REACT Safety System allows that sudden change in momentum to happen over a longer period of time through a series of controlled events. Foonf is designed to ride down the collision crumpling the aluminum honeycomb and absorbing energy from the collision resulting in less force transferred to the child.

Other features:

  • Foonf is built to keep your child rear-facing longer (rated rear-facing up to 45 lbs) and protect them in case of a side-impact collision.
  • Featuring Clek’s signature Rigid-LATCH installation and a narrow width profile, Foonf is the convertible child seat that actually makes a parent’s job easier.
  • Foonf boasts a narrow width under 17 inches, providing space that makes 3-across seating possible.
  • Foonf includes an easy-to-engage, smooth recline function, making each ride more comfortable.
  • Crypton Super Fabrics offer permanent protection against stains, moisture and bacteria. Easy to clean. Fabrics are removable.
  • Integrated Magnets keep harnesses open to make taking your child in and out easier. Approved for use on aircraft.
  • The entire seat—from plastic and metal to foam and fabric—is recycled and used to make new products.
  • Usage guidelines: rear-facing 25-46″, 14-45 lbs, from approx. 6 months; forward-facing 30-49″, 22-65 lbs, from about 1 year or walking unassisted.

So cool, so innovative, so in-demand – coming SUMMER 2012 but due to overwhelming demand, the manufacturer has already sold out of 3 months of inventory. We are taking pre-orders now for October 2012 delivery. Limited quantities available to order yours today!
