Foonf lockoffs breaking?

sunnymw · Jan 16, 2014

One of my lock offs broke on my foonf today! The top piece broke off completely in my hand!

I seem to remember there being a thread about that issue awhile back but my search function is not cooperating :/

Halp!

It's in the rental, a 2013 Chevy Cruz.

They look similar to the Britax ones and those broke on me twice. I luckily never had a Foonf break. I'd call Clek and they may send you replacement (Britax did, at least).

ETA: in the mean time, lock the seat belt.

It was my thread (or at least I had one). Just call them. They'll send you a replacement set. They're no longer required if your seatbelt locks.

Here are some videos when you get a replacement one:

ETA: It is OK to use just one--either side--if you can't get a tight installation without a lockoff.

Customer service can send you out a replacement lock-off. In the meantime, bypassing them and switching the seatbelt to ALR instead is fine. If only one broke, then you can still install it using the other lock-off. We prefer that only one lock-off is used now and have updated the 2014 manual to reflect that, so once you get your replacement lock-off, I'd recommend still continuing to use only one. An updated 2013 manual will be going up online very soon as well. The phone # for customer service is 1-866-656-2462.

Thanks I will call Monday!

I can get a tight install without, just thought they were mandatory
