How They're Installed Rear-Facing
Foonf uses an angled Rear-Facing Base which attaches to the bottom of the seat to help provide an appropriate rear-facing angle. This also provides an elevated ride height, making it easier for your child to see the world around them.
Fllo features a built-in Recline Foot which swivels out into position to help provide an appropriate rear-facing angle. This creates a lower ride-height, which can help maximize visibility and space in more compact vehicles.
How They're Installed Forward-Facing
Foonf is equipped with Rigid-LATCH connectors (as shown) for forward-facing installations.
Fllo uses the same flexible LATCH belt for both rear and forward-facing installations
How Their Crumple Technology Works:
Foonf's REACT (Rigid-LATCH Energy Absorbing Crumple Technology) system is made for a rigid-LATCH installation, which can be combined with the vehicle seat belt when vehicle LATCH anchor limits are exceeded (unless prohibited by your vehicle manufacturer).
During a frontal collision, this design forces the seat frame to move relative to the base, crushing the honeycomb deformable cores and absorbing energy in the process.
Fllo's EACT (Energy Absorbing Crumple Technology) is designed to work best with a belt installation (vehicle belt or LATCH belt)
During a frontal collision, Fllo moves relative to the vehicle seat in a forward/downward motion as it compresses the foam in the vehicle seat. As it moves, the honeycomb deformable cores between the seat frame and seat base are crushed, absorbing energy in the process.
Which is Right for Me?
If you plan on using a seat belt installation (which is frequently the case with 3-across installations, or in center seating positions), go with the Fllo.
If you plan on using a rigid LATCH installation, go with the Foonf.
Remember:
Both systems are designed to keep your child safe on every ride, so choose the one that fits your car best!
How They're Reclined
Foonf has three different recline positions which the seat can be adjusted into, including Forward-facing (positions 1 or 2) and Rear-facing (positions 2 or 3).
Fllo is reclined manually, by repositioning it on your vehicle seat.
A Few Other Things to Consider:
Planning on Swapping the Seat Between Vehicles?
Due to its base design, Fllo weighs 10 lbs less than Foonf, which makes it a little more convenient for frequent vehicle swaps.
Thinking About a 3-Across Installation?
Many vehicles do not have LATCH anchors for all 3 positions. This makes Fllo a great choice for positions where you'd be unable to make use of Foonf's Rigid-LATCH feature.
Want More Colour?
Foonf is available in both white and black frames, while Fllo is only available in a black frame. Foonf also comes in a wider variety of fabric options.
