# Impact-Reducing Car Seats This Convertible Car Seat by Clek Has Many Child-Saving Features By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-08-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/convertible-car-seat References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/398947705805608657/Clek-Foonf-Convertible-Child-Seat) & [clekinc](http://www.clekinc.ca/foonf/) Clek's 'Foonf' is a convertible car seat that provides maximum safety for babies and young children riding in automobiles. The Foonf features Clek's patented 'REACT Safety System,' which uses [anti-rebound rebar and shock-absorbing foam layers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiadaptive-safety-belt) to prevent injury to a child even in the case of a collision. Since cars are designed to crumple upon impact, Clek borrows this concept for its car seat, which reduces the impact of collisions by 40%. The convertible car seat can be installed forwards or backwards in a car, with a unique locking system to ensure proper positioning. In addition to being child saving, the Foonf has many earth-saving elements as well. The entire Foonf frame can be recycled, although Clek has implemented its own recycling program to responsibly care for its products after a child has outgrown it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Safety-enhancing Car Seats:** Opportunity to innovate on technologies that reduce impact and prevent injury to children in car seats - **Eco-friendly Children's Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create more sustainable and recyclable children's products - **Convertible Car Seats:** Opportunity to improve and advance convertible car seat designs for maximum safety and convenience ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** Collaboration opportunity to integrate safety features in cars compatible with innovative car seats - **Consumer Goods Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create durable and eco-friendly children's products focused on safety and sustainability - **Child Care Industry:** Innovation opportunity to provide parents with safer and more advanced car seat options for their children ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rotating Convertible Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-convertible-car-seats.md) - [Flexibly Designed Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-baby-seat.md) - [5-in-1 Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4ever-dlx-grad.md) - [Vehicular Child Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-safety-system.md) - [Multisensory Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensorysoothe.md) - [Baseless Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuna-baby-pipa-urbn.md) - [Child-Centric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childcentric-compact-luxury-suv.md) - [Convenient Baby Harness Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-travel-essential.md) - [Adaptive Modern High Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-chair.md)
