Is this a good product for hot weather? I'm looking for the coolest carrier for Texas weather.

This is my favorite for the summer since it is more breathable than my Beco Soleil and my Beco Gemini. I also love it's features.

I live in Hawaii and I love my organic carrier. I choose it over airflow because it is softer and more comfortable. It is not hotter than to have your baby in the stroller. I have noticed that it can be more sweating in area where my baby touches me then in baby-carrier area. You can loosen the carrier and put your hands in between carrier and your baby's back to let air flow from time to time. It works perfectly for us. Love it!

We have had no problems at all with the fabric or car seat getting to hot/warm in hot weather. Our toddler is very comfy in this seat & loves the cup holders. My biggest complaint would be that in the winter when he has a winter jacket on, it is near impossible to get the straps tight enough. Because of this we've moved it into my husbands vehicle where he rides far less often. I hope this helps!

I have 2 of these and love them, however at 30F it is not as warm as we would like. Had a scout camp over weekend and both me and my son were quite cold with outside temp around 30 even though we had thermals + pants with wool socks (feet were esp cold). Bag is great above 35 or 40, but need a top cover or thicker bag for freezing weather.

We live in Louisiana where temps top 100 degrees in the summer, and we haven't had any problems with it. The only issue the seat has, in general, is that the straps don't adjust very tight, so if your little one is on the smaller side like our son, you might have the same issue. We're keeping it safety pinned in the meantime until he grows into it, which has worked just fine for us.

I live in No. CA Trinity Alps so hot weather is nothing like AZ. However, the cover is holding up well in direct rain and snow. Also, I have the spa cover too which did fine in direct sun this past summer.

We have it under a Texas sun for most of the day, and the bars have never been too hot for the kids to play on... I have gone out with them and they have been quite warm, but not too hot to touch. They do get really slippery when wet though, so be weary of that one.

I have not used any other ergo carrier but my little guy does get pretty warm in the performance. I don't think any carrier could really be very cool since the baby is right up against you.

It really does pretty good. I've camped on mine in all kinds of weather. Rain does not effect it, condensation does not build up in it. We camped in some really hot & humid temps in GA & FL and we open the zippers some to allow air flow so we were comfortable. We also camped with temps in the 40's, put extra blankets on ourair mattress which we ended up not needing all of them! I would highly recommend this tent for any weather!

I live in North Texas and we have very hot summers. It has held up nicely so far.

We live in the Seattle area and have not found it to overheat. It's been a great carrier.

We live in Atlanta and we used the carrycot until the end of June when our daughter outgrew it. We unzipped it all the way and she just wore a onesie. She was completely shaded so it wasn't too bad. If it was so hot it would be unsafe I just wouldn't take her out. Hope this helps

Hey Sam, I have humped all kinds of gear in high heat areas, both jungle and desert during my military career, and it all sucks and makes you sweat. I have never used the ribz in that kind of heat, but would guess they are a good deal cooler than a backpack of some sort, as they just don't cover that much area on your body. My ribz seem to just float at my sides and never really bothered me at all. Combined with a smaller backpack I think it's a great way to distribute that weight a little more evenly. I keep my must - have items and some emergency kit in the ribz and everything else goes in the pack. That's my system but there are many others. I say go for the ribz in any and all weather. Good luck!

I live in southwest Texas and so far no problems! Once your child is bigger and you can remove the padded seat liner the seat will be even cooler. The only time my little guy gets sweaty is on his back if we are in the car for a long stretch, but other than that we don't have any problems and in my opinion the fabric and seat design has better air flow than the Britax.

Yes, it is very durable. I love this carrier my husband and I both use it. Its true what the others say about the ventilation of the material. There is not much circulation in it, so if your hiking or exercising you and baby will warm up quickly, but if its chilly or kind of cold that's probably a good thing.

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas so it gets pretty hot here, especially with humidity. It was pretty comfortable for me and I suspect it would be comfortable for anyone as long as they don't wear it while going commando and with an undershirt.

I find the cotton does get a little warm for me but my 7 month old doesn't overheat. He never feels very warm to me when we get out of it. There is no replacing the softness or comfort of this carrier in cotton. It is cotton after all...a bit breathable & sweat dries. I am willing to suffer the warmth to have the comfort. I tried the mesh one in a big box baby store & it was much more breathable but a little more restrictive & uncomfortable than the cotton one. I wore the mesh test model around the store for comparison & I was still a little warm in it.
