What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Narrow 17-inch width enables three-across configurations in smaller vehicles
- Anti-rebound bar provides meaningful rear-facing crash protection uncommon in competing seats
- Extended rear-facing to 50 pounds accommodates children longer than most convertible seats
Reviewers push back
- Heavy seat — reviewers consistently note it is not suitable for frequent car-to-car transfers or travel
- No crumple-zone REACT system found in the sibling Foomf model, which some reviewers flag as a safety trade-off
- Installation requires removing the seat cushion and managing multiple belt paths, adding complexity over simpler seats
Reviewers broadly agree the Clek Fllo is a premium, safety-focused convertible seat distinguished by its narrow width, anti-rebound bar, and high-quality Canadian construction, though its weight is a consistent drawback.
Reviewers praise
- ClickTight installation system makes secure attachment nearly impossible to mess up
- Memory foam padding in seat base and generous cushioning throughout
- Front lever for recline adjustment accessible while driving
Reviewers push back
- Headrest design less protective-looking than Boulevard sibling
- Fabric not washer-friendly on some versions; harder to clean than zippered rivals
- Heavy compared to some convertible seats
Reviewers agree the Marathon ClickTight delivers genuinely foolproof installation and solid comfort, though some note the headrest design differs from other Britax lines and materials can be less wash-friendly than zippered competitors.
Where reviewers split on Fllo: Reviewers differ on how much the absence of the REACT crumple-zone system matters practically; one reviewer treats it as a meaningful safety gap while others consider the honeycomb energy-management material sufficient On Marathon ClickTight: One reviewer loved the upgraded Prescott fabric; another found non-Ultimate versions harder to wash than a Chicco Zip
