Does anyone have experience using this seat in hot weather? How is the fabric?

The fabric on this car seat seems to do very well in hot weather. The only issue is with the usual parts that get hot on car seats like the plastic and metal. I have owned this seat for a while now and have been very happy with it.

I began using this seat in mid-August last year. Their were some very hot temperatures. They had no effect on the seat. The fabric is very nice, very durable, and stays cool in hot weather.

There are a couple different fabrics, but the basic one can be sweaty. Evenflo offers a new fabric choice that is supposed to help regulate body temperature. Check out their website.

Hi Heather - it is really comfortable, and doesn't dig in. I have a bit of a butt and the seat is wide at the back and narrow at the front - so its perfect. And its cushy as well! Sometimes I find myself slipping forward though that could just be my riding style!

Mine has a very nice fabric seat. I have had mine for several years so the seat covering may have changed. Really enjoy having it to sit at my cutting table, big help to my back.

The seat is comfortable for both my wife and me. I weigh in at 250 lbs. The seat is heavy canvas stretched crosswise between two side bars on top of the frame. The canvas is wrapped around the front and rear frame and laced together underneath with heavy cord. It's sturdy and made to last.

If I understand it correctly, you are asking if you get hot when sitting on it. I live in Florida and have only used it through this past winter. However, it is very warm here now and I have not experienced it as being uncomfortable or warm. I absolutely love this. It has helped my back issues tremendously.

Our summer hasn't started here yet, but we get up to 125 F in the summer. So I imagine they would be, but I have some cute pillow cushions on the seat, so it would not be hot. They are so study, and comfy. I bought 3 of them this month.

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.

It does get warm during the summer months because of the thick material, the dark color and the lack of air flow through the seat. I know when I take my daughter out of it her back is usually pretty sweaty. Unfortunately I believe that most car seats are this way. Thank goodness for A/C in vehicles!

I have the Stone style car seat. The material is a very soft fabric, almost suede like in feel. It seems to breath better than the type of material shown in the Shadow model. We moved our two year old to the fabric material from the synthetic material and he seems much more comfortable in the warm weather.

We have the sand-colored R120, live in East TN Rainforest clime. My 25m old has been using the seat since she was 9m, and is still RF. She is tall for her age. Never had an overheating issue, and it gets to 100 degrees F about 7-10 days of the summer each year.

We do. It takes a bit of a beating but so far doing pretty, pretty well. In a bad windstorm it's blown over and the seat came off, but easily fits back in and no worse for the wear. We have two of them!

I didn't use it long enough to know what the fabric was like an hot weather because I returned it and got a different Car seat.

I haven't noticed it getting hot but I have cushions on the seat. It doesn't seem like it would get too hot but my patio doesn't have direct sun. The chairs seemed to be higher than typical bar height and were a little tricky getting in them. It looks great sitting on my patio hahaha

I have had no problems at all with it being hot. It's still just as comfortable as the first night I slept on it.

I live in Oklahoma and it gets very hot during the summer. The fabric didn't get that hot, just warm sitting in the car. Now, the metal part to buckle the child in does get very hot, but it will with any car seat with metal parts.

The rain stays out of it. I've had my bike outside. Then it got really hot here and the seat is still like how I left it before the rain. I'm not am avid rider though.

No rust whatsoever, but here in Tucson, Arizona, that's usually not a problem. After one summer in our blazing sun and heat, however, I have noticed that the webbing is breaking along the top edge of the lounge chair back. I think I'll try to protect it with a seat cover this coming summer, but I'm a little disappointed that it didn't hold up longer than it did. I bet in a more moderate climate, it would last very nicely.
