Is Cowmooflage cover too hot for the South?

Crimson, Allison and Cow are velvety. Blueprint and Onix are smooth, almost satiny. Waverly is smooth, but a little more "rough. Jet Set is very rough, so I absolutely hated touching it in the store. I was considering Crimson, but thought of our hot GA summers and will now get Blueprint or Onix. By the way, even though Babies'R'Us does not have seats in all of the fabrics, they have swatches so you can touch them and judge for yourself. :) Buy-Buy Baby has seats in most of the fabrics.

We live in Nashville but haven't had the chairs in direct sun. We did not find that the chairs were too hot for sitting.

I am usually in Phoenix. I have never been burned , but yes it can get very hot to the touch. A really nice cover though.

I noticed that the Britax marathon 70's covers aren't all made up of the same type of material. The cowmooflage seems to be a velvety (short haired) material while the blueprint cover looked satiny, the allison looks just flat and smooth, and I read somewhere that the onyx is warm material but it looks kind of 'tough'. It's hard to tell without seeing them in person and actually touching the fabric. Lots of moms seem to rave about how cute the cowmooflage seat cover is, but I also live in the south (in the desert) and when temperatures inside the car can get crazy high the last thing that I'm concerned about is the color and style of a car seat.

The cover is fine in the wind. You do need to secure the heater with the cover to something that will prevent it from falling over. I use my fence poll and a single string. Work well for me.

Not sure. Personally, I would not want to have it on in the rain. It certainly puts out a lot of heat!

I live in New Hampshire so its not uber hot up here but i have frequently noticed that its cooler inside the shelter than it is out in the sun usually by a lot.

I don't know. I don't think I would want to risk exposure to the heat regardless of the cover.

I bought Allison when my daughter was 6 months and is now 11 months. We live in NE Florida and it has been hot but, the fabric has been fine. I think Cowmoolage would be fine also. Good luck!

It depends on where you live. I live in south Florida and the summers are really hot here and covers of any kind usually get kicked off my bed during the night. :) So, if it's really warm where you are I would say no. If your summer nights are cool it might be fine as it's not too heavy.

When it's too hot or too humid I'd avoid keeping the baby outside anyway. I don't expect this cover to make it worse for the baby, but keep the baby so that you can observe for discomfort and you should be OK.

Lana, I am sure this reply is a little late. I live on the Texas coast where it can get very hot and dry. I planted the grass in the early Spring since I was afraid the hot summer sun would kill the grass. The grass did sprout, grow, and cover the dense shade area where I planted it. However, at the start of Spring of the next year I didn't have much coverage. That lack of coverage could have been due to poor soil or lack of rain. Hope your yard turned out well for you.

I'm looking at the label right now; and the watts and times listed below by "Animal Friendly" are absolutely correct. I would add that you must be diligent about wrapping it carefully as it gets extremely hot to start. I bought a ready-made cover with velcro for one of my heatable "frizzbees".

I think this product will hold up well. We live in Texas and the heat is quite intense. That said, we normally don't use this cover to protect from the sun.

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.

I would say it is less plushie and probably good for the heat because it seems more breathable. We live in Atlanta and I don't think it will be a problem for us.

We haven't seen an issue with it being hot or too warm. But, remember, it's still rather chilly here in Wisconsin at night, and we find it very comfortable! I will say, seeing as I run "warm" and appreciate cooler temps, I haven't had any problem feeling too warm at night! Maybe a bit early for us to judge that until the evenings warm up.....but so far, very comfortable!
