Does this seat make babies hot?

I have the Roundabout and Boulevard in Onyx (black) and the material is smooth and doesn't overheat as much as others on the market, even during summer months. If you baby "runs hot" (mine can get sweaty just from sleeping anywhere) there is an extra-large "seat chiller" sold at babydagny dot com that you keep in the freezer and place on the car seat minutes before putting your child in to cool it down. I have yet to use it for this car seat (don't need it) - it's really great inside coolers though!

No but if your baby can sit up, they shouldn't move much. It's a fairly small tub and worked well for us.

We haven't had any problems with it getting to hot to sit on. We love this blanket!

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 heater element is behind a grill and yes the grill can get pretty hot. I just put it on high and the air alone coming out of it was pretty hot, I put the back of my hand on the grill and I could only keep it on there for a short time. I did not burn myself but a babies skin would be more sensitive. With that said I love the remote and oscillation features it also has a safety shut of feature if it gets knocked over.Hope this helps.

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

Yes, the back of the seat is heated also. This seat is well made, not flemsy in any way and good quality for the price.

Not sure exactly, but it is heavy and awkward. I would imagine all infant carseats are this way. I do like the car seat very much, only thing I can say is the fabric is very hot. Meaning, it doesn't breath...my baby always seems very sweaty on his back.

Yes, it does. Make sure you get the appropiate seats for the babies' weight.

agree with all the other comments. I purchased this seat after my 18 month old out grew her infant seat. Thia has worked well.

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!

Well, I have the orange one and heat is not an issue what so ever, special if your child is sitting on it then I guess you should not be worrying about seat getting hot when balck color was chosen specially with all the vent holes that it has...I would go with color that I like and not worry about heat...by the way you'll love it..I got the Plexiglas shield as well that mounts in the front of it which protects the baby form bugs and wind also does not hit his face directly.

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

I don't think so, at least not any hotter then a stroller, bed or any other place you would put an infant. It has a very soft cover, and my grandson also had a head and side support insert because he's so small. He seemed very comfortable in it when it was 85+ degrees with no air conditioning.

yes my babys head is very comfortable in this seat. note that the base also adjusts to offer more recline. this is my fourth infant seat and definately the best.

This model doesn't have that. It does get hot enough to give meet a nice seat.

No it does not. But the problem most are experiencing with this high chair is that the seat naturally reclines back too far, making it difficult for smaller babies to sit comfortably, such as mine.
