Clek Foonf (Meets New Standards)
The Clek Foonf, introduced in 2012, has become a trusted choice for parents in the US and Canada.

Graco Turn2Me
If you have been looking at all of the car seats with a rotation feature and were wondering if there was one available that is compact, the Graco Turn2Me may be the seat you are looking for. If you desire a swivel seat that is compact front-to-back but also fits newborns, we would recommend looking at the Nuna Revv instead. We’ll explain further down in this post why we don’t recommend using the Graco Turn2Me from birth. However, if your child is at least 6 months old, this option may work for you.

This is a great high-back booster option for higher-percentile kids as well.

Britax Poplar
The Britax Poplar is one of the newest seats from Britax. They have discontinued their Marathon, Boulevard, Advocate, Allegiance, and Emblem convertible car seats. But the Poplar comes with the ClickTight installation that we absolutely love. It makes the installation so quick and easy for caregivers. It also has a quick adjust headrest aka no-rethread harness like many seats on the market, which makes it easy to adjust the harness height as your child grows.

Clek Liingo
The Clek Liingo is a great choice for parents who primarily travel via ride-share services. This seat does not come with a car seat base, so you don't have to worry about storing or getting rid of a piece you don't need. This also makes the seat a lot more affordable for parents on a budget. The Liingo has lower anchors attached via a storage compartment. This compartment can be removed in order to make the seat a little lighter if you prefer a seat belt installation. The Clek Liingo is compatible with many of the most popular stroller brands as well, with adapters, so it's easy to customize your perfect travel system.
