Worth the price!
December 22, 2020
I cannot say enough good things about the Liing. As a CPST, NICU nurse, and parent, I have used practically every infant car seat on the market in some capacity. I have very strong preferences (skip the uppababy mesa) and had my favorites (Nuna and Britax). And then I met the Liing. And this thing blows the competition out of the water. The rigid latch base installation is mind blowingly easy. The European belt path makes baseless install secure and reliable. The load leg is a top of the line energy management feature - in a sea of marketing and random claims by car seat manufacturers, load legs are one feature that actually make a big difference in crash performance. The carrier is sleek and attractive, and the handle shape makes it comfortable to carry even with my 20lb 9-month-old inside. With all my other kids in all my other infant car seats, I got tired of carrying the infant seat around by 3-4 months, but here we are at 9 months still using the Liing because it's seriously that user friendly. Also, when I had a minor (not safety related) issue with my Liing, Clek customer service was absolutely amazing, following up regularly until I got a replacement part. I normally love to try out different car seats but I don't want to use any other infant seat after having a Liing.
Pros
- Extremely compact front to back, easy install, advanced safety features, excellent newborn fit, soft fabrics
