In this episode of Gear Daddy, Daddy Troy reviews the Clek booster seat. The great feature of the Clek child car seat is that it clicks into your car's latch (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system making it very safe, and easy to put in and take out. If your car is a 2003 or newer model it is guaranteed to have latch and the Clek will install. The toddler car seat is designed for kids ages 4-7 years old, 40-100 lbs and 40-57in tall. So help your child avoid numb bum when they move out of car seats. Great engineering, design, and child safety give the Clek booster seats the DadLabs seal of approval. DadLabs Ep. 268 Gear Daddy.

Daddy Troy: Hi welcome back to Gear Daddy – I’m your host Daddy Troy. today I’m reviewing the Clek booster seat - the cool thing about the Clek booster seat, is that it clicks into your cars latch mechanism.

The booster seat comes after a car seat and this one in particular, is for kids between 40 and 100 pounds and 40 to 57 inches tall. Booster seats actually raise the kid up a few inches off the deck, and that makes it more comfortable for the kid, it makes the placement of everything more secure, and also avoids what Clek likes to call - A Numb Bum – it keeps the kids legs from falling asleep - we’ve all had that happen with our kids.

Now there is another safety reason you want booster seats. The national transportation safety administration says, that in 2005 there were over 40,000 injuries by kids in car accidents. That is a pretty big deal, and that’s for kid’s ages 4 to 7 - which is the primary audience for this particular seat. Now the reason the Clek is so unique - the reason we wanted to review it, is that it actually buckles into your car’s latch system.

Latch stands for Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children. And this particular one goes into the lower anchor’s of your car, it is easy to put in, it has an audible click when it goes in - but it is also easy to take out. Now if you have a car that is 2003 or newer, your car is guaranteed to have one of the latch mechanisms. There is a reason you’d want it tethered in - its safer to have it tethered in, but also when the kid is not in the car with you, what happens if you have an accident?

We’ve all heard about the Kleenex box in the back of the car, coming and killing a person in the head when they stop due to inertia. Well what if this thing is in the car and you get into a wreck, and there is no kid in the car and it goes flying away you know? Well this one in particular wont go flying away because it is latched into the car.

The last thing I really like about Clek - is that they come in really, really cool colors, they have bubblegum patterns on them, they have leopard patterns and kids can really get into it. Now boosters is a really big day in both a kid and a parents life, because it signifies a time in which that kid can buckle himself or herself into a car. There are also really, really convenient, because you can take it out of one car and put it to another one really quickly - say for a play date, or when mom and dad are switching cars.

So to recap - the Clek booster seat, love this product it has great engineering great design and helps with safety. It gets the dad labs seal of approval; we will see you next week at dadlabs.com.
