This booster seat is extremely comfortable, durable and has a simple and ellegant design. It looks great in my car and my little boy loves it!
At first, I was hesitant to purchase this booster seat, because of its color. I liked all clek booster seats, but the olli models offered several colors, while "ozzi" was only available in licorice. However, I did not want to spend the extra money for the upholstery. So I thought, why don't I try licorice and see if I can live with it. It turned out that the seat was black. I thought, hmm, this must be a mistake. I must have received the "olli" model by accident, but the original packaging clearly said "ozzi". I highly recommend this booster seat!
Also, if you visit magnaclek.com you can see a side-by-side comparison of the two models. That should help you make your decision. |
Best booster seat for LATCH system.

| We always purchased the Britax car seats which are fabulous. However, when my son started to complain that his Britax Marathon was too tight we knew it was time to move to a Booster Seat. He is 5 3/4 and weighs about 50LBs and is about 53 inches tall. Although he could still fit in the Marathon in his regular clothes, if he was wearing his bulky winter clothes, he could not. When we tried to find a Britax booster seat we felt that they were too big and started looking at other brands. The best one we could find was the Clek Olli or Clek Ozzi (no difference in them except one allows you to stow stuff inside the base and change the cool seat covers. The Clek is great if you have the Latch system because it gives you the peace of mind that it is firmly fixed in place unlike other boosters which slide around. The Clek is easy to fit, it just literally clicks in place and is so sturdy, it is clear that it will NOT slide out of position. My son loves it and can fasten his own seatbelt now. The only difficulty we encountered (which is not a Clek fault) is that the Latch in our Land Rover has no 'give' in it and so it is too close to the seatbelt making it too difficult for my son to belt himself in. We can still use it in the Land Rover it is just that we have to spend a few minutes putting the belt into the belt catch. This is annoying and some other cars may have the same issue, but our Jeep is just fine. It is therefore probably worth borrowing a Clek to see if your car has the same issue. However, the Clek is great. Five Stars for style, comfort and safety! |
Sturdy with good padding but too difficult to remove

| When I purchased this seat I didn't read the specifications carefully enough. I thought it was priced less than another model just because of the padded armrests and color choices. In fact, the big difference between the two models is their release mechanisms. This seat requires you to press buttons located behind the armrests and under the seat backs on either side of the seat simultaneously to release, which is difficult. Since we intended for this seat to be used in my husband's car on an intermittent basis, this function is especially annoying. My advice - if you plan to remove the seat more than very infrequently, pay extra for the model with the quick release feature. Otherwise the seat seems to be good quality, well padded, and my grandaughter enjoys using it. |

| We LOVE this seat because of the LATCH system. It stays on the seat! Plus my 4 year old things it is really soft and comfortable. There is a lot of padding. It is really well made....you can tell it is high quality right when you take it out of the box. Very well designed and made. I highly recommend this backless booster seat! |
High Quality Seat! Recommend you get this!

My daughter was ready to move up to a booster seat without the back. I researched around and didn't like the ones I saw. Then I found the Clek seats. I bought the Ozzi to save the money and my truck seats are black anyways. It fits great in the back seat of a 2008 Chevy Crew Cab. My daughter says it is very comfortable and its easy for her to buckle herself into. I do not change the seat around much, so the quick LATCH release on the more expensive Olli is not a big value for me.
The quality is high on this seat and the seat cushion is easy to remove. The cover is black, even if they call it a fancy name like licorice. I love the LATCH system as I drive quite a bit without my daughter and I like the idea of it being locked in if I crash.
Sure the price is twice what the cheap ones are, but my daughter will be in this seat for quite a while and she is worth it to be comfortable. Probably will have to get two, as she now hates the COSCO one her Mom has! |
