How well does this work in winter time? I'm comparing the BRICA with Jolly Jumper we've used previously

This is not to keep the baby warm. It's a thin material and the part over the baby is screen like. I don't know what the jolly jumper is. But I've been using it just to keep bugs out or people away from the baby. The piece that goes over the front to keep the sun out is ok not great. It doesn't go on the sides so sun can get in thru the sides. And when it's on the front you can't see the baby

I have not owned it during the winter, but I do not think it will be very useful as bugs are not a concern and the sun is not as much a problem. Because of the side vents, I do not think it would keep the baby significantly warmer in cold temperatures.

It won't keep baby very warm. It will block the snow/rain/sun and some wind. The sides are mesh so baby can get a good amount of air, but on a cold day this will also let in the cold air. I had a winter baby so I used this in combination with the jj cole bundle me infant seat cover. The 2 together kept baby comfortable in the cold winter months.

Very happy with ours ~ use it often even in this cold winter. Be sure to get the cover for it

Unsure, but have you looked into the Jolly Jumper? My daughter loves that thing. Now that was worth the cost.

David Ihad 2 inches of snow this year and it handled it well as far as the heater it did not melt the snow off of it but it took little effort to knock the snow off with a broom,it slid off very easily. we had temps here down in the teens (north central texas) and we used a radiator heater and a heat lamp and all of the plants we had survived. I hope this was of some help. Curtis G. meridian,tx

I'm not sure I have been using mine all winter here in Kentucky. Been in the teens while using the hoses. Only problems at that I seen the hoses wasn't as plyable.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

Now let me start by saying I live in little rock but we have had out snowiest and iciest winter in 50 years. It has fared pretty well outdoors but it is under an awning or covered deck. The ice last pretty well. Certainly enough for a party, it's not a yeti obviously but has done the trick. I really like the drain feature. This was well thought out. Just make sure it arrives without damage. Mine had some but had to use it the day it arrived so didn't feel right about returning it after it had been used

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

I am sorry but I am not sure the answer about the Winter Season. I just find it a natural soap and it smells great! Best, Sophie

I have both and for the first few times the x-lite is more crinkly than that x-therm but after a few times out that sound goes away and the comfort level is the same for both. The x-therm is just a lot warmer when it is cold out, I have used it in cold conditions and have no complaints about the pad. However I have not used the x-lite in the winter time to compare it to the x-therm.

It is great on about 5 inches as I've tried it last winter. As long as it is powdery and not the icy sticky kind of snow.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

I had to leave mine in snow and ice and subfreezing temperatures this winter at a remote location. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to check how it did and I won't be able to do it until the end of April. If no one else has a better answer and you're not in a hurry, I'll provide an update at that time.

This is one of the better brands i have bought. I usually get 2 or three seasons out of one. The issue is more of when using at the full extension and not hitting it into deep snow and using it like a hammer.

Mine kept me nice and warm during Michigan's harsh winter. I LOVE how lightweight yet warm it is! I was able to enjoy the parks all winter long without feeling bulky! It's a bit narrow through the hips so keep that in mind when ordering. Enjoy!
