does the seat fabric get hot

I have not had any issues with the fabric getting hot, and I live in south Texas where summer days are frequently 100F +.

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!

The only thing that will make your babes hot is the heat! : ) it's a nice soft fabric. You can always put a light cloth over it ( like a pillow case) if you get worried.

Not on the one that I have. It does warm the seat nicely, I will say that! But it does get too hot after a while - and that is on the "low" setting. You might try putting a thick covering - like a quilt between the seat and you and then it might not feel too hot. I now have my heat in the car fixed, but it still is helpful because it warms up before the heat comes on full blast. I really do recommend it for anyone who feels a need for a seat warmer. It made a big difference before the heat was fixed! Good luck!

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.

Not sure whether you mean the chair could "get hot" by your body warmth from sitting on it for an extended period or "get hot" if left out in the sun. I find the chair to be comfortable enough without a cushion. In fact, I have the option to use the cushion I had on a previous lounger but it slides out of position. If you want a cushy sofa-like feel and you can't find a cushion, then try making one at home or use a body pillow and ordinary throw cushions strategically placed on the chair for added comfort.

No there's a nylon mesh preventing the seat from going flat. I would guess 15 degrees

Ours sits in the shade all day so heat is not a problem. I would assume that it would get hot in the sun if exposed for any length of time, as would all metal. We also put a seat and back cushion on it, so we may not be the best resource to answer the question. It is a nice unit and seems solid. We're happy.

Since the insert that gets heated is made out of gel, it does give you some cushion when you sit on it. If all I wanted was a cushion, I would pick another seat that doesn't heat or cool. But if you want to stay sitting on it after it cools down then you do get some cushion from it.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

Yes, it gets very hot! The cover is polyester and rayon. That, combined with memory foam, sets your legs on fire. I bought this but cannot use it because of that. I will buy the one with the cotton cover next.

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.

I purchased this seat as a gift for my niece and her daughter. I sent her your question and this is how she answered: We don't have AC in the car so it is hot, period. But I love the seat. It's light considering its size. Easy to buckle it in and easy to buckle her in. It's padded well and roomy." Sorry not to be more help, but I imagine if it trapped much heat she would've had a complaint about it, especially since they were a/c-less.

We live in tx, so it can get quite warm in the car. We have not gotten to the scorchers yet but it does pretty good with heat. Like any seat the metal pieces can be crazy hot but the belt and seat are fine.

It does get warm during the summer months because of the thick material, the dark color and the lack of air flow through the seat. I know when I take my daughter out of it her back is usually pretty sweaty. Unfortunately I believe that most car seats are this way. Thank goodness for A/C in vehicles!

No it does not make you feel hot at all or make you feel like your sleeping on plastic. I do know what you mean though, but this fabric is light weight and yet very sturdy and doesn't seem like it is made cheep at all and has held up extremely well and no crinkling noises either. I have no regrets buying it and would buy it again. I feel this a purchase you will be as happy with as I have been.
