Reviews for clek olli booster seat

The seat is well designed and exactly as advertised. My son likes it and it's comfortable. He's turning 7 next week and prefers the backless belt-positioning booster to a harness booster (like I prefer). We have the Safecargo seats for travel, and I was very happy with those as harness seats. They also attach with LATCH as a backless booster, and have decent cushioning, but my son cannot easily buckle and unbuckle himself, so he doesn't like it as much. Also, he is now just a bit too tall in the torso for the Safecargo harness system. The Olli's arm rests are higher and give him easier access to get in and out of the car himself. I like that the Olli positions him higher than the other backless boosters we've had (a Cosco freebie from ToysRUs, and the Safecargo) so the belt is positioned better. It is also an inch thicker (5") at the end under his knees which leans him back into the seat more and prevents him from leaning or sliding forward in the seat, and again keeps the lap belt in a better position.

My only problem with the Clek Olli is that the rigid LATCH system does not work in all vehicles. Being "rigid" it is not adjustable at all - it is a permanent standard width. Unfortunately that means I cannot use this seat with the LATCH attached in my husbands' Honda Accord Hybrid. This is more of a reflection of a poorly designed LATCH system in the Honda than on the Clek booster seat. I believe Honda did this specifically because of the side impact airbags. The Honda design team located their lower anchors towards the middle of the two outer seats. You cannot put a seat with ridgid (non ajustable) LATCH in the middle seat. Also the seat belt is located between the two lower anchors for each outer seat, so you cannot attach a belt positioning booster with LATCH and use the vehicle seat belt. I could use the seat without attaching the lower anchors, but that was a feature I really wanted, and it seems to be something the Honda design team was trying to avoid, probably for safety. The Clek Olli works perfectly in my Jeep which is designed better. I could also fit 3 Cleks across the back of my Liberty if I needed to do that. My younger son is very small for 5, and still needs a harness booster seat, so we aren't ready for another Olli yet, but it would allow me to safely transport an extra friend.

As always, my order was placed easily and my seats arrived quickly. EliteCarSeats.com service was impeccable.

Just received my 6 year old's leopard Olli - what a nice booster! We both appreciate everything about it. I had done a lot of research going into this seat and comfort, safety and style were all tops on my list. The seat is a great height for seatbelt fit. The seat bottom is very cushy - much better than a thin slip of fabric over a plastic base. The LATCH is very convenient and the quick release is a nice touch. And what's not to love about a cute leopard print?! Very nicely done, Clek! And we can't forget the order & shipping - very easy & very quick! We're very satisfied customers.

We needed a low-back booster for our 6-1/2 year old to avoid the blind spot caused by the Compass B510 in our BMW 328i convertible. We ordered the clek olli and it fits PERFECTLY. The LATCH secures it so well, and it fits like a dream in the bucket seat. A high-back booster would be my preference, but having the driver be able to see out the rear window is sort of important for *all* the passengers :) Plus my son says it's way more comfortable than the Graco low back booster we were using in the meantime.

I have been searching for a backless booster for our car w/a bucket back seat. All the other boosters tended to cover up the seatbelt buckle but the slim design of the Olli works great! If you are having trouble finding a backless booster I recommend you try this one...awesome! Also, this is my 3rd order from elitecarseats.com, you won't find a company that does a better job than them!

i just got it today and didn't read reviews, but so far, it seems perfect. i'm not nervous about my 6 year-old going from a britax to the clek booster seat. the latch system is second to none.

We switched to this booster shortly after our son turned 6. For the most part the seat is great. It's firm but comfy with high armrests that also make it easy to get the lap portion of the seatbelt on easily. He's able to pop it out and move it to another seat if he wants. The hooks for the LATCH work perfectly in our Toyota's and also tuck easily in Grandma's car without LATCH. Having the seat hooked makes it a little safer and comfy because it's always in a consistent spot. The only negative about this seat is the LATCH anchors aren't adjustable. So in some positions in our van there are a few inches between his tush and the seatback. Since he's so tall, it works out just fine. For a smaller child their tush might hang off the back a bit. The color matches perfectly in the van as well. See if you can try it out in your car first before purchasing.

We love this seat for our daughter! She rides in our two different cars all the time with it. Although it uses a ridgid LATCH system it is so easy to remove from the vehicles (2007 VW Touareg and 2008 Acura TL) and securely clicks back in place. Also very important is the fact that when she is not in the seat, because it is fastened to the LATCH anchors, the seat does not become a projectile in the event of a sudden stop or accident causing harm to me or my husband in the front seat! Our daughter loves that her bottom and legs are always comfortable. She is at the in-between stage where she doesn't want to feel like a baby in a high-back seat but still needs the extra boost to make the seat belt fit properly. The carrying strap it comes with has made taking it in the airport easy to travel with too -- just sling it over your shoulder! All are happy in our family! Thanks clek!

I have a 2005 Volvo S40, which has "bucket" style seats in the back. We have struggled with the right "fit" for a booster, and all seats we have tried didn't fit flat on the contour of the seat, and would lean to one side. I was concerned if this seat would be right for us, and I procrastinated on ordering it, but all in all I have been pretty happy with it. It fit well in the slope of the seat base in the vehicle, and sits flush with the contour. However, it is just a bit too wide at the seatback, and we cannot get the seatbelt to connect in the fastener made for that seat, which is the only thing that kept me from giving this product 5 stars. The strap and carrying bag that came with it are a nice addition, and we look forward to being able to easily transport the seat with them during travel. Thanks for making a "better" product for us with smaller, sportier vehicles!
