The Revolutionary REACT™ — Rapid Energy-Absorbing Crumple Technology — Safety System

Reducing the forces transmitted to your forward-facing child in a frontal collision by up to 40%.1

REACT (Rapid Energy-Absorbing Crumple Technology) Safety System



Safety Innovation for your Child

One of the most effective innovations in automotive safety is the crumple zone, the area of the vehicle that is designed to deform and crumple in a collision. The crumple zone absorbs energy in an impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

Much like the crumple zones that protect us in the cars we drive, the crumple zone system integrated into every Foonf child seat protects
your child.

How It Works

In a collision, the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, but the child continues to move at the same speed. The less time that it takes for the child to come to a complete stop, the higher the forces exerted on the child. The REACT Safety System allows that sudden change in momentum to happen over a longer period of time through a series of controlled events. Foonf is designed to ride down the collision crumpling the aluminum honeycomb and absorbing energy from the collision resulting in less force transferred to the child.

Built to Keep Your Child Rear-Facing Longer1

Foonf is rated up to 45 lbs. when installed rear-facing and engineered to protect in side-impact collision.


















Rigid Sub-Structure

Foonf is reinforced by a steel and magnesium sub-structure.

 

Structural Headrest with Deep Side Wings

Energy-absorbing foam-lined headrest connected to frame using steel rods provides maximum head protection in a side-impact collision.

Energy-Absorbing Foam Layers

Foam layers on both the inside and outside of the frame protect your child by absorbing energy in a side-impact collision, resulting in less force directly upon your child.






 

Anti-Rebound Bar

In rear-facing mode, Foonf’s anti-rebound bar improves stability by limiting rotation of the child seat, helping protect your child’s head from impact in the case of a collision.




  1. AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) advises parents to keep their toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.


Designed for Comfort and Convenience + Styled to Match Child’s Individuality

Featuring Clek’s signature Rigid-UAS installation and a narrow width profile,
Foonf actually makes a parent’s job easier.



Rigid-UAS system and top UAS tether combine for effortless installation

Rigid-UAS Forward-Facing Installation

Over 80% of child seats in North America are not used properly. Hands down the easiest forward-facing installation in its class, Foonf’s Rigid-UAS system makes proper forward-facing installation effortless.

Improved rear-facing installation

Improved Rear-Facing Installation in Smaller Vehicles

Unique design improves rear-facing installation in smaller vehicles by taking up less fore-aft space.
Magnets to keep harness open

Integrated Magnets

Keeps harnesses open to make taking your child in and out easier.


Foonf boasts a narrow width — under 17 inches at its widest point and 13 inches at the base — making 3-across seating possible.


Extra padded seat cushion

ExtraPadded Seat Cushion

Additional layers of thick foam padding make for comfortable rides and protects against numb-bum syndrome!
Smooth recline

Smooth Recline
