Is this seat less cold in winter than a plastic seat? Thanks for your input.

To me wood is always more comfortable and warmer than plastic. This seat is awesome!

I have not had a soft plastic seat in years because they always split at the seams. This seat has been fine all winter long. It is in our first floor guest bathroom and, like the rest of our home, is kept at 67 degrees all winter. If you are wondering about a solid plastic seat, not a soft one, I'm not sure if there would be a difference. Though this seat is wood, it is highly varnished to a shine. I think they look better than plastic, but this one does not look like regular, uncoated wood. We have one of those also, in one of our upstairs bathrooms and I don't notice any difference in the warmth factor. If your room were really cold, I think the plastic would probably be colder.

I under-inflate it because I use in on my lower back when I sit down. I have one in the car and one in the house. The only thing it doesn't like is the frigid MN winters.

I had a hip replacement in the wintertime and it did not slip in the snow or on ice when I was getting in and out of the SUV.I do not know if that helps, but the rubber grips seem pretty safe.

I kept my chairs out in the cold of the midwest winter and they are still picture perfect! I don't know if they could stand another cold winter with the snow & ice, but they still look very nice after this winter!

Yes u have two options either just the netting cover or add the plastic. And yes the plastic thing make the inside very hot I think it's better for cold weather.

I haven't noticed that yet, but I've only used it in the winter. It doesn't seem to get too hot now.

The housing is plastic. Not sure how cold weather will affect the batteries as I bought it during the summer and cold weather hasn't come yet.

I live in the cold prairies of Canada and have one of these. The windows do not seem to fog much for me when I am plowing snow. I think that because it is not air tight, it doesn't fog much. As far as the cab being warmer, I would say that it is not. It's nice because you don't have the wind on you but there seems to be a decent gap from the bottom of the windshield part and my hood which let's in a little breeze. I'm not disappointed in it for the price. I would buy one again. Zippers on the doors seem to be good and install didn't take too long to figure out. Hopefully that helps a little...

I live in a temperate climate and we just installed the seat a week ago. We really love it, but I can't answer that question. The fabric on mine (onyx) may be different than the style you choose. I would call the company and ask. I would guess you will run your ac in the car so it won't make that much difference. I know they recommend covering the seat if it is hot outside and the car is parked. so the metal and plastic parts don't hurt your child when they get in. I hope that helps...

have only used cold. We use it mostly on our motorcycles. We have forgotten to empty and when doing it the next day the ice is still in it. It also has a nice handle.

leather the only way to go if you durability, nothing like having heated leather seats in the winter...

Yes that's what we have. Do not leave in car during cold weather.. Made of plastic will break

I have heated seats only and I can feel the heat as the cushion warms up, so I assume the same with cooling. I love this seat cushion not only for my back but I also sit higher which I like.

It will not get too cold in winter. Believe me, I am almost always cold and have never had any problem with cold affecting the driving ability. Enjoy. Kitty Reader

Mine's been outdoors since I got it last year and it's been great. I live in Georgia and we did have some freezing temps but not in the sustained way you'd have up north.

We have not had temp that low yet but we did have a severely cold winter past and ours worked. It did not melt the ice all the way to the edge but it was enough to please the birds.

So far I haven't had an issue with the cold. I like in northern North Dakota and it's worked great so far. Battery life is a bit shorter but I get the rechargeable batteries
