Clek Foonf in a 2006 Outback

Hi All,
I just purchased a Clek Foonf for our 2006 Outback. I’ve been reading about blind spots in certain cars since the seat is so high. Now that I have it here I can see how it would be an issue. It’s high!

Has anyone had any issues with the depth using the foonf rear facing in an older outback? Any issues with blind spots? I’m really hoping we can make it work!!

Thanks,
Rebecca

Which seating position do you want the seat in? I find if I put seats behind the driver's seat I have fewer blind spots for example. I had to move my child's seat to behind the passenger seat and it was definitely harder for me to seat there since it block about half the window.

Hmm I was definitely thinking the passenger seat since behind the drivers seat may be too tight for my husband. I hope it fits but I’m thinking maybe I’ll need to return it. Thanks for the feedback and if there is any other feedback it’s greatly appreciated!

If the front seat people are very tall, it'll be an issue. But if the front seat people are not VERY tall and can have the seats not all the way back, it won't. But you won't get the front seats all the way back in a 2006 with a Foonf back there. Maybe 3/4 of the way back? About there? Halfway back? I've never measured it like that, but it's super easy in the middle, and not as easy on the sides, but it works. I'm 5'1" and would have no issues whatsoever. :)

Ok great. Thank you! We’re going to try it. We are both not super tall (5’6 and 4’10). I’ll let you all know what we decide!
