In a 2024 hard top GTS, the Clek can work for rear facing as long as your passenger isn’t very tall, or has a high tolerance for being squeezed :) Might be too tight of a fit for a Targa though.

i check consumer reports and see which one is at the top! for an infant car seat we bought a clek liing with the load leg last year. since money isn't an object for us i don't see why i would purchase one that doesn't have the highest safety rating.

Yeah, their branding is terrific. When they were developing the liing, you could go to their office, which I did several times, and they had posters all over that said SIBLIING DUCKLIING etc. They’re fun people.

Respectfully wirecutter doesn’t know what they’re talking about saying the base is unsafe. I would not do the aire over the RX just because the added price to me is not worth it for the difference of about a pound and a half. You can also install the liing without the base using a seat belt. And it’s a beautiful and quick installation due to the European belt route. The person they consulted for this article became a CPST solely for the purpose of this article apparently. I’ve been working in this industry over 20 years and I’m certified as a CPST in multiple countries. Just be careful where you get your information from. And please understand that these articles go up mainly to get affiliate link revenue.

Highly recommend the clek liing! Consistently rated as one of the safest car seats thanks to its rigid LATCH system and load leg.

With my first I had uppababy cruz with an infant insert, she was a July baby so we did outside walks in it pretty much right away. For car seat we had a Graco snug ride, we didn't have a car at that time so needed something light and easy to bring on Uber rides. We got a car when baby was a year old and at that point she outgrew the bucket seat and we got a clek fllo. This time around I'm due in Feb. Planning to use the same cruz with infant insert with a clek liing car seat. I don't find the bassinet attachment to be very important. I love my cruz though, it's a great urban stroller.

We are big fans of clek. My first had a clek fllo from around 1 year to 5 years then graduated to a clek oobr. I'm expecting and due in Feb with my second and just bought the clek liing for the baby. Clek car seats are on sale now for 20% off. I love that they are made in Canada, and some of the best safety tested seats available.

have you checked out the cpst SEATS group on facebook? they make recommendations specific to your vehicle. That said, I drive a pretty compact sedan and only two car seats were recommended. we ended up with the clik liing and love it!!
