Does the fabric of the seat breathe well? Will this be too hot to use outdoors in a humid summer?

honestly, ive never thought about the breathability if the fabric, but we use it all the time in the heat and my kid never turns into a total sweatbag. hope that helps!

I didn't think about that with the fabric, as my child is a sweaty beast under normal circumstances. She does get very sweaty in this seat after not very long.

It does breathe but it also keeps me very warm in the winter. In the summer I would en up rolling it down and just use bed sheets. We dont have AC though and live in a climate that doesn't get too hot.

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

I live in North Texas and we have very hot summers. It has held up nicely so far.

I didn't have any problem with that-I used it Mongolia though, and it was not in a hot & humid environment. There is still plenty of airflow through it in spite of the pocket (which was where I had my rain gear-was riding on horses)

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.

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!

I wouldn't call it "waterproof"....but it does a good job of keeping the seat dry underneath. Water beads up on mine and is easily wipes off. It doesn't absorb water and wet your bum when you sit down. The pockets in the back are mesh, so anything in them will get wet if left in the rain.

We live in El Paso, TX and it gets over 100 degrees in the summer. The material did get hot, especially if the sun was directly on it. It wasn't extremely hot to the touch, but it was very warm. We kept a white towel in the car to cover the seat up when we were not in the car, and also would put ice packs on the seat under the towel to keep it cool, which helped tremendously.

The material is lightweight, so it shouldn't be too bad in hot temperatures. However it doesn't breathe well like cotton fabric, so it could get sweaty.

Is this material breathable? Or would it retain moisture/humidity from your body inside?

I have not had any problems with it getting hot. It's very comfortable and a great deal for the price

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.

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.

YES! My best friend had it. We in live in OK where it's usually over 100 degrees, then humidity is about 3 or 4 degrees at least. She constantly complained about this seat being SO hot for her daughter.

I live in South Florida and right now we are dealing with 90-100 degree weather, and my windows are not tinted. However, the fabric on this car seat cover is both cloth-like and suede so my son doesn't really sweat due to the car seat. If he sweats, it's because he is just naturally hot. This is was the only car seat cover that I was able to find on amazon that wasn't just all suede and furry-like material. Also, it looks better in actuality than in pictures, so hopefully, you won't be disappointed.
