Does this seat make babies hot?

I have the Roundabout and Boulevard in Onyx (black) and the material is smooth and doesn't overheat as much as others on the market, even during summer months. If you baby "runs hot" (mine can get sweaty just from sleeping anywhere) there is an extra-large "seat chiller" sold at babydagny dot com that you keep in the freezer and place on the car seat minutes before putting your child in to cool it down. I have yet to use it for this car seat (don't need it) - it's really great inside coolers though!

It does. With the heat that we have had though...I bought 2 of these fans for the stroller to keep my baby cool ;)

I honestly haven't gotten the chance to use it that much yet... My baby just turned 6 months, but from the few times I have used it I left the infant insert in it (which comes with the seat) and it is a fleece like material and he did sweat! (It was summer time and hot out so I kind of expected it) but when I felt the material the first thing that ran across my mind is if he was going to be too hot sitting on it. The seats material is supposed to be better and more breathable then the G2 I just haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. But I think it will be fine! Wish I could help more!

We bought the infant seat and the swing set for our grandsons for Christmas (ages 1 & 3). While it does get pretty warm (we live in Florida) it does not seem to bother them. They play on it all the time. I hope this helps..

I purchased this seat as a gift for my niece and her daughter. I sent her your question and this is how she answered: We don't have AC in the car so it is hot, period. But I love the seat. It's light considering its size. Easy to buckle it in and easy to buckle her in. It's padded well and roomy." Sorry not to be more help, but I imagine if it trapped much heat she would've had a complaint about it, especially since they were a/c-less.

Not on the one that I have. It does warm the seat nicely, I will say that! But it does get too hot after a while - and that is on the "low" setting. You might try putting a thick covering - like a quilt between the seat and you and then it might not feel too hot. I now have my heat in the car fixed, but it still is helpful because it warms up before the heat comes on full blast. I really do recommend it for anyone who feels a need for a seat warmer. It made a big difference before the heat was fixed! Good luck!

No it does not. I was able to put my baby In there I believe around 9 months and just padded blankets around her. The seats are hard.

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

No but if your baby can sit up, they shouldn't move much. It's a fairly small tub and worked well for us.

No, but it gets hot. My 2 year old touches it while on a pulls away with no burns.

It can get hot and I would put it behind a grate or something if this is a concern. It does have a high/low setting, but the 18 month old grandson could presumably set it to high himself also so I would be careful with this unit. The kids like to sit close in front of it for the warm feeling sometimes and I have to remind them not to get too close.

Well, I have the orange one and heat is not an issue what so ever, special if your child is sitting on it then I guess you should not be worrying about seat getting hot when balck color was chosen specially with all the vent holes that it has...I would go with color that I like and not worry about heat...by the way you'll love it..I got the Plexiglas shield as well that mounts in the front of it which protects the baby form bugs and wind also does not hit his face directly.

My daughter does not sweat or get hot. I also like the side air pockets because when she falls asleep her head doesn't roll around. I've had this seat for about 5 months now and am loving it!

My daughter is always warm. It's summer right now in Chicago and she loves her seat! We cool down the car before she gets in when we can but she's never complained or come out of the seat sweaty.
