Our Review of the Clek Olli Booster Seat
Overview
Olli™ is Clek's™ award-winning belt-positioning backless booster seat designed and engineered to help keep your child safe. The portable booster seat that provides comfort and secure seating for modern families on the move.
Safety
The Clek LATCH system locks the booster seat into place quickly and easily using your vehicle's LATCH anchorage system.
LATCH (Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children) refers to the pair of fixed lower anchors built into the crease between the seat back and seat cushion. LATCH comes standard in some vehicles manufactured in 2001 and 2002 and all vehicles in 2003 and newer.
If your vehicle does not have a LATCH anchorage system, you can still use Olli unlatched.
Olli safety highlights
- Raises your child 4 in./10 cm. to improve in-vehicle shoulder belt fit
- Better positions the seat belt on your child's hips to improve safety
- Locks into place to provide additional booster seat stability in a collision
- Confirms that latches are locked with an audible "click"
- Provides a secure connection even when booster seat is not occupied
- Meets all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
Comfort
Olli is built like the seat in your car. Our Comfort-cube™ construction includes an additional layer of padding that protects against numb-bum, which is what happens when you sit on hard surfaces for long periods of time – your legs fall asleep!

Great Booster
Reviewer: Anonymous , Franklin, TN
Date: August 16, 2010
Got this booster for our 5 year old. I liked this one because of the latch connectors to keep it locked into place so it would not slide around the backseat making it difficult for the little one to sit down and get buckled in by herself. It pops right in,and has a nice release "cord" in front. Fantastic for moving it to grandparents' cars! It looks to be made very well (I am a freak about quality of construction), but most of all, our daughter loves it. Got the pink one in my wifes car and the black one in mine. My only complaint would be that cupholders would be nice.

Clek Olli Booster
Reviewer: Kim , Canon City, CO
Date: June 10, 2010
When I came across this booster seat I was beyond excited!! My husband has a 1996 Eagle Talon TSI which has difficult bucket seats. For the life of me, I could not find a single product that would work with his vehicle, that is until I found this website and seat!! First of all we decided on the cameo pattern which my son thought was awesome. When we received the Clek Olli I was so pleased that it fit perfectly! I would recommend this product to anyone, especially if your car/ truck has bucket seats.

A Must!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Madison, Alabama
Date: April 18, 2010
I just ordered number 3 and 4. 1 and 2 are in Dad;s convertible and are sooooooo perfect! I am trading in my Volvo with built in boosters and these are the first extras that were a MUST for my new car! My girls are 5 and 6 and they LOVE the seats! We have leopard print and have now ordered the treehouse camo! I am so glad that I discovered these booster seats. Besides being adorable they are quite functional. The best part is that once installed they do not move! Until you pull the release and then they are out of the car in about .5 of a second. They are also easy to tote for play dates etc. Like I said above these are a MUST!

just bought a second one

Today I had my 4 year old jump into his 6 year old brother's clek olli seat just to see how it would fit. I had assumed that he wouldn't be tall enough for the shoulder belt to not be on his neck - much to my delight and surprise the belt was positioned BETTER on him in the olli seat than it had been in his high back booster. I came right home and ordered another one. We have loved the olli seat for our older son because of how well it fits our '02 toyota sienna, and how well the belt position sits on our son. It is so easy for him to use and transfer to other vehicles. The added bonus is that my four year old can also buckle himself unassisted, which he couldn't do in his high back booster. Worth every penny for both kiddos! Our daughter will eventually have one as well I'm sure.

Fantastic Seat!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Plainfield, IL

About 1 1/2 years ago, we purchased two (one for each car) Olli seats for our oldest son. Now our younger son is ready for his, so we just purchased two more! The easy in and out latch design is so nice. I wish it were that easy to install all car seats. I also really like the cushion. You can't find any other booster with that much cushion, and who wants to ride on a hard surface?! Elitecarseats.com was wonderful as well. I ordered the seats on a Monday morning and had them on my doorstep at 4:00 the next day. I would recommend the Clek Olli booster seat and elitecarseats.com to anyone and everyone!

Nice Seat
Reviewer: Sherri Lechten , St. Charles, Mo
Date: November 11, 2009
The seat is well designed and exactly as advertised. My son likes it and it's comfortable. He's turning 7 next week and prefers the backless belt-positioning booster to a harness booster (like I prefer). We have the Safecargo seats for travel, and I was very happy with those as harness seats. They also attach with LATCH as a backless booster, and have decent cushioning, but my son cannot easily buckle and unbuckle himself, so he doesn't like it as much. Also, he is now just a bit too tall in the torso for the Safecargo harness system. The Olli's arm rests are higher and give him easier access to get in and out of the car himself. I like that the Olli positions him higher than the other backless boosters we've had (a Cosco freebie from ToysRUs, and the Safecargo) so the belt is positioned better. It is also an inch thicker (5") at the end under his knees which leans him back into the seat more and prevents him from leaning or sliding forward in the seat, and again keeps the lap belt in a better position.
My only problem with the Clek Olli is that the rigid LATCH system does not work in all vehicles. Being "rigid" it is not adjustable at all - it is a permanent standard width. Unfortunately that means I cannot use this seat with the LATCH attached in my husbands' Honda Accord Hybrid. This is more of a reflection of a poorly designed LATCH system in the Honda than on the Clek booster seat. I believe Honda did this specifically because of the side impact airbags. The Honda design team located their lower anchors towards the middle of the two outer seats. You cannot put a seat with ridgid (non ajustable) LATCH in the middle seat. Also the seat belt is located between the two lower anchors for each outer seat, so you cannot attach a belt positioning booster with LATCH and use the vehicle seat belt. I could use the seat without attaching the lower anchors, but that was a feature I really wanted, and it seems to be something the Honda design team was trying to avoid, probably for safety. The Clek Olli works perfectly in my Jeep which is designed better. I could also fit 3 Cleks across the back of my Liberty if I needed to do that. My younger son is very small for 5, and still needs a harness booster seat, so we aren't ready for another Olli yet, but it would allow me to safely transport an extra friend.
As always, my order was placed easily and my seats arrived quickly. EliteCarSeats.com service was impeccable.

Awesome Olli!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Coeur d'Alene, ID

Just received my 6 year old's leopard Olli - what a nice booster! We both appreciate everything about it. I had done a lot of research going into this seat and comfort, safety and style were all tops on my list. The seat is a great height for seatbelt fit. The seat bottom is very cushy - much better than a thin slip of fabric over a plastic base. The LATCH is very convenient and the quick release is a nice touch. And what's not to love about a cute leopard print?! Very nicely done, Clek! And we can't forget the order & shipping - very easy & very quick! We're very satisfied customers.

Perfect!
Reviewer: JJ , Portland, OR

We needed a low-back booster for our 6-1/2 year old to avoid the blind spot caused by the Compass B510 in our BMW 328i convertible. We ordered the clek olli and it fits PERFECTLY. The LATCH secures it so well, and it fits like a dream in the bucket seat. A high-back booster would be my preference, but having the driver be able to see out the rear window is sort of important for *all* the passengers :) Plus my son says it's way more comfortable than the Graco low back booster we were using in the meantime.

I've tried them all...this is the best!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Columbus, OH

I have been searching for a backless booster for our car w/a bucket back seat. All the other boosters tended to cover up the seatbelt buckle but the slim design of the Olli works great! If you are having trouble finding a backless booster I recommend you try this one...awesome! Also, this is my 3rd order from elitecarseats.com, you won't find a company that does a better job than them!
