Clek Liing Car Seat Review - What Is A Load Leg Anyway?
I’ve teamed up with Clek, our local Canadian car seat manufacturer to bring you a quick video review of their amazing Liing Infant Bucket Seat. This seat is not only beautiful, but has some incredible features that make it functional and convenient. Plus the addition of a metal load leg in the base gives this seat an extra safety feature that many infant seats don’t currently have. This is a must watch video for any parents considering what the right seat is for their baby. You get to see a metal load leg in action, so you can understand why this feature is one you definitely want.
