Does the metal frame get hot in the summer sun? Worried it might burn the kids' arms and legs in hot weather. Thanks!

I purchased two benches, and have then in direct sunlight most of the day. I have never been unable to use then. However, they are located at my cabin in the mountains in Colorado (8000-8500 ft above sea level). I would purchase them again...they are great!! Hope this helps.

Everyone loves this bench. Have not noticed it getting hot at all, don't think it will burn the kids. It sits in full sun in the summer, but e are in the mountains of NC so we don't get over 85 very often though, so if you are in a very hot climate my answer may not be right for you.

I have two of these great convertible benches. Since they have steel frames they would probably be hot for young tender legs if the bench is out in full sun. That being said these are extremely well built and function perfectly. Hooking up the lever mechanism is a little tricky but works perfectly. I left mine out during this worst horrible Michigan winter that I can remember and they look beautiful. I would throw a beach towel over the bench and get them. It is unusual to find this quality anymore for the price.

I am not sure. Ours is in Maine on a deck in direct sun and held up well this summer but might be different for you with intense heat.

I live in AZ and obviously it's really hot here!! The type of material seems to keep the heat off my baby, it's not fuzzy and doesn't seem to trap the heat at all. In fact, I haven't even noticed her being sweaty when I take her out, even if the sun is beating down on her. I am very very happy with this carseat. It's the best!Edit: I got the cub pink and I'm not sure if the type of fabric is different vs other patterns, but it's kind of like a vinyl material, so it is really good at keeping the heat off.

I have used them this summer and did not notice any heat from them. Of course where I live it has been pleasant temperatures! Even though they might be warm in hot weather, it sure beats getting your arms all torn up....these are fantastic

Having never sat in it personally, I can't say whether or not it's comfortable, but my kids don't seem to mind it at all. We have two different patterns of this car seat, and both appear to be the same fabric type. We live in a very hot and humid climate, and I was concerned they would heat up, but so far we haven't had any problems that way. The fabric is smooth and they seem to like it. Even on the hottest days their legs don't seem to stick or anything.

On a very sunny day it will get pretty hot, but any metal would. It seems to remain cooler than some metals do, to me.

The handle and frame get extremely hot. I got burned already. Agree with sea bird. No child should be near that thing!

Well, it is a plastic seat rather than metal, so it doesn't get incredibly hot. My mom has hers under a pair of trees so it gets partial/sun/shade.

the way ours is set up the kids face the same way as the slide when on the swings- we have a wall behind the swings and there is about 5 feet beyond the farthest that any of the swingset parts reach so the kids still have plenty of room not to hit the wall...FYI this is our 3rd year with this set sitting through the Arizona summers 120+ degrees in full sun all day and it still looks great! very durable. Money well spent!

Hi Janet! We live in the central valley of California where it gets pretty hot...so far, the Blue Eyes Sunshade has held up perfectly and performed as advertised. One note though...we have discovered the shade itself gets exceptionally hot while it is blocking the sun...almost too hot to touch sometimes. That has not proven to be a problem, but a user should be aware if he or she lives in a hot climate. My wife loves the shade, so that trumps all! Respectfully, Steve

The material on the model I have is all black. I chose this color though. There are other colors to choose from, I just chose this because I liked it. I haven't really had it out in direct sun that much. But I am sure it will get hot just like any other material. My son likes to have the canopy all the way closed if he's hot. The breeze it better that way.

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.

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

It's a metal exterior so it gets hot! I wouldn't want it around children. I've forgotten & tried to touch it to move it & it was hot enough to make me snatch my fingers away quickly--they felt like they had been burned, but the sensation faded quickly (my fingers weren't actually burned, just felt like they were for a few seconds.)

You know, I've used it and it does get sun, but I haven't noticed it being too hot to lean on. I have other aluminum tables in the sun and I don't remember them getting hot either. I'll have to pay attention and try them to let you know for sure.

The edges don't get very hot and can be touched without moving your hands. The center does get fairly hot but you can put your hand on it for 10 to 20 seconds before it will make you move. It would be very hard for a toddler to burn himself.

yes it does get quite hot....i usually have to grab a potholder to hold onto it so it won't burn my hand
