The seat is a 5+ BUT shop around for price,
September 13, 2009 This review is from: Clek Oobr Booster Car Seat (Baby Product)
We received our Snowberry Oobr a couple days ago, and the seat is VERY impressive.
With the rigid LATCH system it feels as secure and solid as the Britax Regent we previously had our almost 7yo harnessed in; no sliding around as my child tries to get in it, it doesn't budge. It also makes it an utter breeze to install or remove - it is literally a 5 second job. Plus, the rigid LATCH allows this booster to 'recline' which might come in handy for long road trips.
The seat itself is heavier than the Graco TurboBooster we had occasionally used up to this point, but it is SO much more substantial feeling that it almost makes the TurboBooster feel like a 'toy' in comparison. It genuinely feels like more than just a 'booster' to position my child so that the seatbelt can protect her in a crash (though it does that too), but rather that the seat itself will provide protection like her harnessed seats up to this point. Plus, the Oobr doesn't fall apart when carried by the...Read more

This review is from: Clek 2010 Oobr Booster Car Seat, Shadow (Baby Product)
Like many parents, we did a lot of research before we purchased a booster seat. We narrowed our choices down to this and the Britax Frontier, largely based on safety ratings and the fact that we wanted a booster with a back and headrest. We decided to go look at both models and have our daughter sit in them to make our final decision, only to learn that (where we live) neither model is available in stores. Both were listed as "online purchase only" everywhere we looked. So, we decided to order both from Amazon and return the one that didn't work. I always love hearing pros and cons from people who've actually compared to something else, so I thought I'd contribute here.
For the Clek Oobr:
Pros:
Excellent safety rating
Super clear instruction manual. Very easy to read with great illustrations. Well done, Clek!
Very easy to install via the LATCH system
Nice fabric that looked to be relatively easy to remove for washing
Easy to adjust...Read more

Solid Seat,

This review is from: Clek Oobr Booster Car Seat (Baby Product)
Was looking for the next-step seat to replace the Britax Roundabout. Loved the Roundabout & Britax products so I went searching through their lineup but was unhappy with the installation of the Frontier and all the mixed reviews it had received. The Clek Oobr is just what I was looking for - the highest safety rating possible with a simple installation that will likely be the last seat we need (as it converts to a backless booster for children up to 57" and 100 lbs). This seat is definitely the most sturdy booster I have looked at and makes the Graco booster (leftover from my first child) feel like a toy. The reclining feature is a bonus for a booster seat, but we have yet to use this feature for snoozing yet as most of our car trips are under 15 min. You do use the recline to install the seat when using the ridged latch. I had never seen a ridged latch prior to this seat and it was one of the reasons I was unsure about ordering it. For all of you out there like me, I'll do my...Read more
