Clek Foonf Convertible Seat - Paul Frank Faux Hawk

Description

After you see the Clek Foonf Convertible Seat - Paul Frank Faux Hawk, your images of what a car seat should be will never be the same. This revolutionary convertible car seat combines ground-breaking technology and modern design features to meet the demands of discerning parents like you. Designed to keep your child in the rear-facing position longer, this adaptable child seat converts to forward-facing position when your child grows to the appropriate size. Several features set the Foonf apart from its competitors, including the innovative REACT™ Safety System; Clek's signature, easy-to-install, rigid LATCH system; and other high-performance construction features described below. This particular Foonf features red fabric surrounded with a blue, red, and black letter print created by renowned cartoonist and fashion designer Paul Frank. Julius the Monkey peeks out on the back rest, as well.

Construction and Safety Features:

• Rigid steel and magnesium substructure for optimal strength
• Energy-absorbing, foam-lined headrest connects to frame with steel rods for optimal head protection in a side-impact collision
• Energy-absorbing foam layers inside and outside the frame reduce forces directed on your child in a side-impact collision
• Anti-rebound bar (in rear-facing mode) enhances stability by limiting seat rotation and protecting your child's head
• REACT™ Safety System reduces frontal collision forces transmitted to your child by up to 40% (see below for more details)
• Additional layers of thick foam padding prevent numb bum syndrome
• Crypton® Super Fabric is resistant to stains, bacteria, and moisture (liquids bead on surface for easy wiping or spot cleaning)
• Approved for aircraft use

Installation and Convenience Features:

• Use in either rear-facing or forward facing position
• Rigid LATCH (Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children) forward-facing installation is the easiest in its class
• Requires less fore-aft space, which improves rear-facing installation in smaller vehicles
• Narrow width (under 17 in. at widest point) allows for 3-across seating
• Smooth, easy-to-engage recline mechanism for more comfortable ride
• Integrated magnets hold harnesses against the sides, making it easier to take your child in and out

How the REACT™ Safety System works:
REACT stands for Rapid Energy-Absorbing Crumple Technology. When you're in a collision, your vehicle comes to a sudden stop, but your child continues to move at the same speed you were traveling before stopping. The faster your child comes to a complete stop, the higher the forces exerted on your child. In order to reduce these forces, the REACT Safety System allows this sudden change in momentum to happen over a longer period of time through a series of controlled events. By mimicking the crumple zone technology found in vehicles, the crumple zones inside the Foonf absorb energy and prevent it from being transmitted to your child. REACT technology actively reduces the forces transmitted to your child in a frontal collision by up to 40%.

Dimensions and Other Measurements:

• Seating depth: 12.5 in.
• Seating height: 22.5-26.5 in.
• Harness slot height: 10.5-17.5 in.
• Width: 13 in. at base; 17 in. at widest point
• Fore-aft measurement rear-facing: 33 in.
• Height measurement rear-facing: 25.75-28.5 in.
• Seat weight forward-facing: 30 lbs.
• Seat weight rear-facing: 34 lbs. (support wedge adds a bit of weight)
• Recommendations for use in rear-facing position: 25-46 in. tall; 14-45 lbs.; child can hold head upright unassisted (about 6 months old)
• Recommendations for use of forward-facing position: 30-49 in. tall; 20-65 lbs.; 1 year and walking unassisted (American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping toddlers in rear-facing seats until age 2 or until child reaches maximum height and weight for their current seat)
