We're concerned about the fabric not "Breathing" in borderline weather - i.e. it makes you too hot because it doesn't breathe. Any comments?

This blanket has three layers-the two outer layers are extremely thin, and the inner layer sounds like a plastic tarp or bubble wrap. I cannot imagine it breathes at all.

It's not especially breathable...but very comfy and warm, which is great in colder weather.

During seasons other than winter I like to use a light weight cotton blanket. In comparison, the Soft Heat blanket is definitely warmer, even without being turned on. And this is only natural due to the inner layer of heating wires which limits the fabric's breathability. This is a fabulous blanket, but you will find it to be warmer even when turned off.

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

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

I hope it's not real sheep skin. It's soft but too hot for summer. It didn't do anything to stop the seat belt from choaking me. I can't remember on end this.

There's a lot of fabric and it hangs nicely. I previously posted a reviewer of the danger of a child get wrapped up in it and the fear of not being able to breath. We removed it and threw it in the garbage for this reason.

Has the question of breathability of the bottom non-mesh portion been answered? That is the first thing I said when we set ours up.

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.

Being that the material is a heavy vinyl and we have a lot of temperature fluctuations it is prone to sweating. They do sell a vent that is self regulating and you can purchase it for around $40.00. I hope this helps.

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.

We have had no problems at all with the fabric or car seat getting to hot/warm in hot weather. Our toddler is very comfy in this seat & loves the cup holders. My biggest complaint would be that in the winter when he has a winter jacket on, it is near impossible to get the straps tight enough. Because of this we've moved it into my husbands vehicle where he rides far less often. I hope this helps!

Never thought much about the padding until this question. I'm saying that it feels fine. It is a heavy cloth with a little padding, but feels fine. If it were softer or "fuller" I could see it compressing over time. That might not be a good thing.

No, the backing is a very finely knit nylon or polyester. It doesn't seem to make the person sweat, but, of course, this is winter and the weather is fairly cold. Don't know what it would be like in hot weather yet.

It is not breathable...... it is meant to keep in your body warmth yet lose the bulkiness.

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

We live in Baltimore and it get's pretty steamy here, I have never noticed the fabric of this carseat being any warmer than usual. As for breathable, she's not a sweaty mess when we take her out. I never really thought about it. I think it's fine

I bought Allison when my daughter was 6 months and is now 11 months. We live in NE Florida and it has been hot but, the fabric has been fine. I think Cowmoolage would be fine also. Good luck!

I live in a hot, but dry, part of the country. No problems at all with the down mattress cover here during our hot summer. It is very breathable.
