Does the baby overheat in this carrier during the summer?

It does get a little warm. I usually put my daughter in very light cool clothing when I use it. And I make sure that she's well hydrated. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

My son definately gets hot in this, but I usually just have him in a onsie and try not to be out I. The 90 degree weather. My so. Is hot blooded so I also put an ice pack between him and I.

Yes.. I can't use it. She sweats a ton in it this time of year. I live in Louisiana.

We never had a problem with over heating. We would put small lunch box chillers in the pouch on really hot days.

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 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.

Yes and especially hot weather. Protects the babies from any hot or cold parts. Love this car seat!

We bought the infant seat and the swing set for our grandsons for Christmas (ages 1 & 3). While it does get pretty warm (we live in Florida) it does not seem to bother them. They play on it all the time. I hope this helps..

I have not had any problems in the hot weather with this seat. The fabric is great, and my 18 month old doesn't get very sweaty in it at all. It's sort of a mesh-type fabric, and very cushy.

Yes the surfaces do get hot if in the sun. I use the infant swings for my 2 year old twins and have had them since they were 1. They are very sturdy and comfortable. My kids won't get out of them!

We live in Missouri. My baby never seemed to be bothered by the heat. The only thing that really bothered here are the shoulder strap pads. But I believe the most current version has removable pads so that should no longer be an issue.

Yes, it is very durable. I love this carrier my husband and I both use it. Its true what the others say about the ventilation of the material. There is not much circulation in it, so if your hiking or exercising you and baby will warm up quickly, but if its chilly or kind of cold that's probably a good thing.

I think so, but if you are using it outside, I'd advise against it. It is really well insulated, so it's warming as well as supportive, although I don't know that there is an alternative that would work as well for support without overheating your little one.

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

I honestly haven't gotten the chance to use it that much yet... My baby just turned 6 months, but from the few times I have used it I left the infant insert in it (which comes with the seat) and it is a fleece like material and he did sweat! (It was summer time and hot out so I kind of expected it) but when I felt the material the first thing that ran across my mind is if he was going to be too hot sitting on it. The seats material is supposed to be better and more breathable then the G2 I just haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. But I think it will be fine! Wish I could help more!

We have the pink and black one. I was worried my baby would get too hot during the summers when it gets above 100 deg. It was great though...the material didn't absorb much heat like I thought it would. Our baby seemed to always stay cool in 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.

I'm sure it would get hot in the sun, as it is black plastic. But most of the area your child would contact is covered with fabric, so I wouldn't worry about it. I bought this because we have two Britax car seats, and we were impressed with the quality and thoughtful design. Britax specializes in baby stuff, so I would go Britax again in a second.

It looks really hot but my baby never sweated in it. It has a pretty deep neck hole and the feet are open so you could put your baby in it with just a diaper and be fine in my opinion.
