This compares published manufacturer specs — not safety or fit advice. The seat's manual, your vehicle's manual, NHTSA's tools and a certified CPST are the fit-and-safety authority; always check them before installing.

• the Britax Marathon ClickTight is FAA-approved for aircraft; the Clek Foonf isn't (harnessed seats can be FAA-approved; boosters never are — a plane has no shoulder belt)

Recall record

Britax — 22 on NHTSA's record · Clek — 4 on NHTSA's record.

That is the record of the brand — not a verdict on these models. A recall names specific models and manufacture-date ranges, and a seat missing from the record is not "recall-free": check nhtsa.gov/recalls with the model and date of manufacture on your seat's label.
