Does the fabric of the seat breathe well? Will this be too hot to use outdoors in a humid summer?

honestly, ive never thought about the breathability if the fabric, but we use it all the time in the heat and my kid never turns into a total sweatbag. hope that helps!

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

I wouldn't call it "waterproof"....but it does a good job of keeping the seat dry underneath. Water beads up on mine and is easily wipes off. It doesn't absorb water and wet your bum when you sit down. The pockets in the back are mesh, so anything in them will get wet if left in the rain.

We live in the northeast so it may not get as hot as where you are. We have used it in the high 80's and mid 90's and it hasn't gotten hot that we noticed or the toddler was uncomfortable riding in. It's a great seat as far as I'm concerned

yes, the material don't breath. It is hot to sit in expecially in summer. I think the big disadvantage is the belt is too short to match the body of my 19 months old son.

As this is an indoor furniture, outside use is not recommended.The fabric and metal are not weather proof and the harsh weather might reduce the lifespan of the chair.However, if the outdoor area is weather proof, then the chair will have minimal damage but it still not recommended.Thank you!

Have not used it yet in the summer. But it is made of cotton and it seems breathable.

I don't know about hot weather. I bought it for cold and it works out well. it does seem to be breathable if that helps.

Not at all, it's actually great for days like that....enough protection so you don't get wet but not too thin so the humidity feels like its sticking to you. I've been very happy with it for just that purpose. For reference, I live in a humid midwest type climate so we get plenty of those hot humid days.

Good morning, A.Peck. I apologize for the delayed response. Yes, the fabric will hold up outdoors. The seat is made out of nylon, which is durable and weatherproof. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna - HearthSong Customer Service

If a product were waterproof it would definitely say right on the packaging. When I received this seat the packaging states "Durable, weatherproof cover". Note weather, not water (nice try marketing, nice try). The material looks like it will resist sweat, dirt and light rain. That being said I wouldn't recommend taking it to your local pool.

I live in Tucson, so I know about the heat! This seat does not make my daughter sweat unlike the infant carrier we had before. I also bought the cowmooflage print which has a lot of white on it to also help deflect the heat.

It does breathe but it also keeps me very warm in the winter. In the summer I would en up rolling it down and just use bed sheets. We dont have AC though and live in a climate that doesn't get too hot.

Yes, I feel it is breathable.... It is like a thin terry cloth material on the outside. (Very thin plastic on the inside) We put the fitted sheet over it and its fine!

I haven't noticed it getting hot but I have cushions on the seat. It doesn't seem like it would get too hot but my patio doesn't have direct sun. The chairs seemed to be higher than typical bar height and were a little tricky getting in them. It looks great sitting on my patio hahaha

I did sit on it, 86F day in direct sunlight. It was not too hot to sit on, but it was uncomfortably warm. I moved the bench into the shade.

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.
