Quick Picks (by real-life needs)

Sturdy, made-in-Canada choice: Clek Foonf

Built like a tank, feels super solid, and grows well with your child. Great if you want something that feels premium and long-lasting.

Slim for small cars or three kids across: Clek Fllo

A narrower design that helps when back seats are tight. Still comfy and feels high quality.

How to choose in 60 seconds

Tight back seat or multiple kids? Pick a slim model (Clek Fllo, Diono Radian).
You’ll move the seat between cars? Choose one known for easy installs (Britax Poplar).
Want a plush feel and simple day-to-day use? Try Nuna RAVA.
Watching your budget? The Graco Extend2Fit punches above its price.

Canada-only basics (worth two minutes)

Look for the round maple leaf mark on the seat. That shows it meets Canadian standards. Seats from outside Canada without that mark aren’t allowed here.
When your child faces the front, attach the top strap on the top of the seat to the anchor in your vehicle. This is part of Canadian rules and adds important protection.
If you’re unsure about fit or setup, book a free or low-cost check with a certified Canadian technician. It’s friendly, hands-on help.

Where Canadians usually shop

Well-known Canadian retailers include Snuggle Bugz, West Coast Kids, Babies“R”Us Canada, Amazon Canada, Walmart Canada and brand stores. Shopping in-country makes it easier to confirm the Canadian safety mark and get support if you need it.
