It’s packed with safety and convenience features, including a rigid LATCH system and special fabric that’s protected against stains and odors.

Overview of Clek Olli Backless Booster Seat
The Clek Olli is designed for kids aged four and older, ranging from 40 to 120 pounds in weight and 40 to 57 inches in height. It raises your child by four inches, which makes for a better shoulder belt fit and also ensures a proper fit of the seat belt over his or her hips. Its rigid LATCH installation system connects it securely with your vehicle’s corresponding anchors.
In addition to safety, it’s also made with comfort in mind with an extra layer of foam padding in order to resemble the feel of your vehicle’s seats. It’s convenient for families who car pool or who own more than one vehicle, as its quick-release system and comfortable carrying strap make it simple to transfer from car to car. It comes with a drink holder that is removable and safe for the dishwasher.
The Greenguard Select-certified fabric is free of flame retardants, and it provides protection against moisture- and odor-causing bacteria as well as stains. The cover is easy to remove for spot-cleaning or washing by hand. What’s more, you can purchase it with confidence, since it’s backed by a two-year warranty when you register it within 90 days of your purchase.

Clek Olli Backless Booster Car Seat vs. Chicco GoFit Backless Booster Car Seat
In many ways, the Clek Olli and the Chicco GoFit are very similar models that are known to be both safe and comfortable. Both also feature double-foam padding, and their portability makes them practical for families who frequently carpool or who have multiple vehicles in the household. While both have removable fabric covers, only that of the GoFit is designed for the washing machine.
Another difference between the two involves installation: If you’re looking for a model with LATCH connectors, the Olli would be the better choice, as the GoFit is only made for use with your vehicle’s seat belt system. Price-wise, however, the GoFit sells for nearly one-third the cost of the Olli, making it a better option if you’re in the market for a quality budget-friendly model.

Conclusion
The Clek Olli is a bit high priced for a backless carrier but that is offset by its portability, high quality, and great fit for a small car.
CR has some problems with the Oil due to its lack of lateral protection, lack of belt clip for shoulder placement, and its latch attachment. The rigid latch attachment may position the booster seat more forward of the vehicle seat back than desired in some vehicles, causing the lap belt to fit incorrectly and become a safety concern.

The last concern is probably the reason gave the Clek Olli a pass rating of 4 rather the other Clek’s 5. Another negative is that the seat belt routing path labeling is difficult to find and read and the instruction manual cannot be accessed while the child is in the seat. Some owners have found that it can be easy to lose parts since the seat must be disassembled to read.
In its favor, the Olli is lightweight enough that a second grader can carry it herself. Another big plus is it has a great belt fit in most seating.
