So this is entirely anecdotal, but my cousin with 3 kids all had Clek's. They said they bought them because of the features, made in Canada, etc etc., and I know a lot of people that have them and love them.

But I looked at it in store, and the seat was like...made of thick cardboard with some felt-ish fabric on it, and while I'm sure toddlers probably don't give a shit about comfort, looked very uncomfortable to sit in. We also had to borrow one of them from said cousin, and it definitely was not comfortable for the child - she hated it lol. But that's after being in the Rava for a long time.

The Rava also does have some pitfalls, now that we've used it for ~1.5 years. The 'rebound bar' that is mandatory when rear facing is clipped in by friction, and two buttons. A good kick outward from the toddler will unclip it, and it's super annoying to get back in. Also there's a footrest that is mandatory, and 100% it will leave a big indent in the seat. But like I said there's no levelling needed, it's pretty easy to install properly for RF and FF, it's comfy and easy to clean/wash, and height adjustable very, very easily. It is expensive, yes, but both the wife and I feel are worth it.
