Liing

The Clek Liing takes an uncompromising approach to safety, resulting in one of the most protective infant car seats available - at the cost of some convenience features.

SAFETY-FIRST DESIGN: The Liing's base includes a rigid-LATCH anti-rebound panel - unique in infant car seats. This provides additional energy absorption in rear-end collisions. The steel and magnesium frame is exceptionally rigid, while the energy-absorbing EPP foam liner exceeds typical safety requirements.

PREMIUM MATERIALS: Clek's signature Crypton Super Fabric resists stains, moisture, and bacteria - a genuine advantage with infants. No flame retardant chemicals in the seat or fabric. Available in premium Merino wool or C-Zero Plus performance fabrics.

WEIGHT TRADE-OFF: At 9 lbs, the Liing is one of the heaviest infant seats. This is the price of the rigid anti-rebound construction. For parents who rarely remove the carrier, this isn't an issue.

LIMITATIONS: The canopy is smaller than competitors, and there's no built-in newborn insert (sold separately for $50). The 32" height limit matches Nuna but lags behind some competitors.

VERDICT: The Clek Liing is for parents who prioritize safety above convenience and can manage the extra weight. If you're choosing between this and the Nuna PIPA, the Liing offers slightly better crash protection while the Nuna offers better portability.
