Our Review of the Clek Olli Booster Seat
"Designed for kids . . . engineered for parents."
Awards & Praise for the clek olli
- The clek olli is a Parent Tested, Parent Approved (PTPA) Winner!
The clek olli booster car seat is a safe, simple, and stylish backless booster with a unique rigid LATCH anchoring feature. Booster seats are essential for the safety of growing children, especially the stubborn type who think, "boosters are for babies". Thanks to the clek olli booster seat's low profile, customizable colors, and "Comfort-Cube" seat, this particular booster should please even the most independent toddler.
- Works with kids 40-120 lbs
- Works with kids 40" - 57" tall
A few words on price: For a backless booster seat, the clek olli has a higher than average price tag, but the quality, comfort, and convenience offered by this unique booster make those few extra bucks well worth spending.
BENEFITS FOR MOM AND DAD
The clek olli booster has two major advantages over other backless booster seats:
First, the olli's rigid LATCH connectors actually connect the booster to the car, allowing you to leave it in place while your child isn't riding in the car. These anchors also prevent your clek olli booster seat from becoming a projectile in the event of a collision.
Second, the olli is a kid-centric booster, meaning your growing child will likely enjoy this sophisticated and comfortable seat, instead of complaining about "being treated like a baby."
Convenience
The clek olli backless booster is light, easy to manage, and stays in place once installed. It is the ONLY backless booster car seat on the market with LATCH connections for keeping the seat in place. With this unique feature, the clek olli will stay attached, even when your child isn't riding in the car. The quick release strap for the LATCH anchors is right up front, and makes detaching the booster virtually effortless. Attach the creatively named "strap-thingy" to the LATCH connectors and presto, you have a carry strap for easy transport between cars.
Installation
The olli booster from clek is one of only a handful of boosters on the market that actually "install" in your vehicle.
The olli's rigid LATCH connectors install in your car in just seconds. The LATCH connectors are easily disengaged by pulling the release strap at the front of the seat. Even if your car doesn't have LATCH anchor points, you can still get a firm "install" with the olli by wedging the rigid LATCH attachments in the crack of the seat.
Please be aware that some vehicles Lower Anchors are positioned on the OUTSIDE of the vehicle seat belt connectors. When that's the case, it is not possible to LATCH in this booster seat because it will not allow access to buckle in the vehicle seat belt while in use.
BENEFITS FOR JACK OR JILL
The clek olli is a booster seat for kids who don't like booster seats. The olli's Comfort-Cube padding adds an extra layer of cush to the seat for maximum comfort.
Comfort
Beyond the added cushioning of the clek olli Comfort-Cube seat, this backless booster has dual padded armrests, plus a pocket for storing drinks, toys, or snacks.
Safety
The clek olli is a backless booster that uses your vehicle's safety belts to restrain your child. Booster seats protect children in the car by raising their body to a height where they will gain proper resistance with the seat belt. Properly used booster seats prevent more then 70% of serious injuries.
COMPARISON
The closest comparison to the clek olli would be the Combi Dakota, a travel friendly booster car seat with a wide seat, padded armrests, and a 33-100 lbs weight limit. The olli costs more, but has the added benefits of LATCH connectors, a more comfortable seat, and interchangeable fabrics.

Great Booster
Clek Olli Booster
A Must!
just bought a second one
Fantastic Seat!
Nice Seat
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.
Awesome Olli!
Perfect!
I've tried them all...this is the best!
