This document describes the installation, removal, and compatibility of the "Drink-thingy" accessory for Clek Foonf and Fllo car convertible seats.

Function Description:

The Drink-thingy is a cup holder accessory specifically designed for use with Clek Foonf and Fllo car convertible seats. Its primary function is to provide a convenient and secure location for beverages within the car seat, enhancing the user experience for children. The design ensures it integrates seamlessly with the car seat's existing structure, maintaining safety and stability.

Installation Features (Foonf/Fllo Drink-thingy Installation):

The installation process is divided into three steps, emphasizing a secure and precise fit:

Side Selection and Initial Insertion: The user first selects the desired side of the car seat (left or right) where the cup holder will be installed. A crucial step involves locating a "slot" on the underside of the rear-facing belt path. The "tab" on the cup holder attachment is then inserted into this slot. This initial step establishes the primary anchor point for the accessory.
Securing the Attachment: After the initial tab insertion, the "opposite end" of the cup holder attachment is moved into the rear-facing belt path. The user must then "press firmly to securely snap it into place." This action locks the attachment into position, ensuring it is stable and will not easily dislodge during use.
Final Cup Holder Placement: Once the attachment is securely mounted, the main cup holder component is slid down, with its "cup holder tab" engaging with the previously installed attachment. This final step completes the assembly, making the cup holder ready for use.

Important Technical Specification/Usage Note:

A critical note highlights a specific usage constraint: "When the car seat is installed rear-facing with a vehicle belt, the cup holder can ONLY be used on the side closest to the seat belt buckle." This restriction is likely a safety or design consideration to prevent interference with the seat belt mechanism or to optimize space.

Removal Features (Foonf/Fllo Drink-thingy Removal):

The removal process is detailed in four steps, designed to be systematic and prevent damage to the car seat or accessory:

Cushion Removal: The first step requires the user to "Remove seat cushion." This is a prerequisite to access the underlying components and is directed by referring to the car seat's main manual for "Removing / Installing Seat Cushion" instructions. This suggests that the cup holder attachment is partially concealed by the seat cushion.
Cup Holder Detachment: With the cushion removed, the user can access the cup holder's base. The instruction is to "Press bottom of cup holder tab and pull up to remove cup holder from attachment." This action disengages the main cup holder component from its attachment.
Attachment Release (Inner Tab): The next step involves releasing the attachment from the car seat's belt path. This requires a two-handed operation: "Press and hold inner tab on cupholder attachment." While holding this inner tab, the user must "use other hand from inside the seat to push cup holder attachment out of rear-facing belt path." This indicates a spring-loaded or locking mechanism that needs to be manually disengaged.
- Maintenance/Access Note: An important tip is provided for this step: "It may be necessary to lift the bottom edge of the car seat cover to push the cup holder attachment out." This suggests that the attachment might be snug or partially obscured by the car seat's fabric cover, requiring slight manipulation for full access.
Final Attachment Removal: The last step is to "Remove cup holder attachment from car seat by sliding outer tab from slot on the underside of the rear-facing belt path." This reverses the initial installation step, completely detaching the accessory from the car seat.

Compatibility and Exclusivity:

A crucial section addresses compatibility: "Can I use the Drink-thingy for Foonf and Fllo with any brand of car seat?" The answer is unequivocally "NO." The document explicitly states: "The Drink-thingy for Foonf and Fllo is designed, tested, and approved ONLY for exclusive use with Clek car convertible seats." This highlights the accessory's proprietary nature and the importance of using it only with the specified Clek models (Foonf and Fllo) to ensure safety, proper fit, and adherence to design specifications. Using it with other brands could compromise safety or damage the product.
