Liing: questions answered
From Clek's published specs, last checked 2026-11-06.
Does the Clek Liing rear-face longer than other infant seats?
24 of the 97 infant seats we track rear-face to a higher weight than its 30 lb. The highest is the Baby Jogger City GO 2 at 35 lb. NHTSA: stay rear-facing "until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer." (NHTSA)
Will the Clek Liing fit three across or in a small car?
It's narrower than 66% of the infant seats we track, at 16.9 in. The narrowest is the Evenflo NurtureMax at 14.8 in. Fit depends on your vehicle; check each seat's manual and your vehicle manual. Car seat use and installation: see NHTSA's car seat page, which also lists free car seat inspection by certified technicians. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
Is the Clek Liing heavy to carry?
With a 7.5 lb newborn inside you'd lift about 16.5 lb, and that grows as your baby does. The carrier is lighter than 48% of the infant seats we track. See the lightest infant seats.
Can you use the Clek Liing in a taxi or Uber without the base?
Yes. Clek lists a baseless install with the vehicle belt; see the manual for the belt routing.
Can you bring the Clek Liing on a plane?
Yes, Clek lists it as certified for aircraft; look for the red-lettered label that says so. The FAA asks that a car seat go in a window seat so it doesn't block the aisle, and the crew will look for that label. It weighs 9 lb to carry through the airport.
Liing or Turtle Air Shield by Nuna: what's different?
By the makers' specs, the Liing has a load leg; the Liing has no added flame retardants (maker's claim); the Liing lists for $49.01 less. See every spec side by side.
Is it OK to buy a used Liing?
NHTSA publishes guidance on used car seats on its car seat page. Clek lists a lifespan of 9 years from manufacture for this model. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
