Does baby sweat or get hot in this car seat compared to other car seats you've owned?

Hi Sara! No, I have not experienced any overheating by my baby in the carseat. In fact the fabric stays remarkably cooler than other fabrics in my car. I highly recommend this seat!

We haven't used it during the summer yet, but, so far, he hasn't seemed to be hot or sweaty when we have taken him out. It's really comfy and soft. He doesn't mind being in it at all.

No, is fine temperature wise. But i dont think this is big enough to last up to 70 lbs.

We lived in Florida in the summer, my kid was always burning up in all the other car seats, this one was a great improvement.

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!

This material doesn't seem to get as hot as others I've seen. My baby has not gotten very sweaty, and we live in Atlanta!

I don't think it's any worse or better than the Britax Advocate that we use in the 2nd car. It's hard to say because of the vehicle types in use. It's certainly a comfortable seat, but if you have a taller baby/toddler, consider the Britax as it is more accommodating to taller bodies.

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.

We live in Kentucky and i cant put our daughter in the baby carrier when its hot outside. We both get so warm from being so close together that its due to the weather absolutely not comfortable. But i think you have this problem with every baby carrier during the summer.

No, this seat is bulky and heavy. It is meant to stay in the car. You are thinking of an infant car seat (like the chicco keyfit 30). The infant seat is useful for the baby's first 6-12 months or so (because you can snap it in and out of the car and into a stroller). After the infant is around 6-12 months, you'll switch to a convertible car seat like this one. If you don't want to buy two separate seats, you can skip the infant seat (this convertible seat accommodates infants and toddlers--but you need to buy the version with "tiny fit"--it's a separate Amazon listing and cost about fifty dollars more) but you lose the option of toting the baby around in his seat. Good luck!

I'm not familiar with those car seats, but the material does not pill and is very easy to clean, so I would characterize it as somewhat wicking. Our baby is 9 months old and the seat looks brand new.

I live in Tucson, so I know about the heat! This seat does not make my daughter sweat unlike the infant carrier we had before. I also bought the cowmooflage print which has a lot of white on it to also help deflect the heat.

My baby just turned 10 months she is comfy in it. Especially after I took the pads off in the shoulders. I can't help you with the car but I do have a huge SUV and it's still tight but honestly any car seat is..... any safe car seat is going to be tight. Once you turn it around you will be fine. I put mine behind my seat which is why I say it's tight o can't move my seat back much that's my only issue hope this helps. It's a great seat I'm glad I chose it. Safest one out there beats all of them.

We live in Baltimore and it get's pretty steamy here, I have never noticed the fabric of this carseat being any warmer than usual. As for breathable, she's not a sweaty mess when we take her out. I never really thought about it. I think it's fine

This is my third infant car seat. I haven't used it with the baby yet, but moving it around, attached to the base, it seems somewhat light. All car seats seem heavy after carrying them around for awhile, but I wouldn't say this one was any heavier than the others.

I got this for both my 4 y/o and my baby who is now 11 months. We've used them a few months and love them. I don't feel it's rough or uncomfortable for either of them. We had a britax convertible... that was softer but he got hot in it a lot. And our infant seat was a chicco which was comparable to this graco. Hope this helps!

We live in the northeast so it may not get as hot as where you are. We have used it in the high 80's and mid 90's and it hasn't gotten hot that we noticed or the toddler was uncomfortable riding in. It's a great seat as far as I'm concerned

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.

Yes it's not breathable. My baby sweats also. We try to keep him light on clothes while in seat.

I used it in warm wearher but I imagine the baby would sweat if the car is too hot or she is too covered...

It's only spring so far but my child has sat in the seat for hours in jeans a tshirt and a fleece jacket and he wasn't sweating as much as he did in his infant seat.... Hope that helps answer your question

Not in our experience. It's no hotter than the basic level of heat associated with a car seat (which, actually, is not inconsiderable. It's not like they are designed to allow airflow.). The piddle pad has a soft fabric on the top, so we've never had her get more sweaty on the piddle pad part than anywhere else in the carseat.
