Does the plate get too warm/hot outside? I wonder if the baby or me would get burn to touch...

I don't have children, so I'm not the best person to ask about this, but my feeling is that if have only one of the heat switches turned on, it would be OK. There are two heat switches. One is low and one is medium heat. If you use both together, it's high heat. I think that high would definitely be too hot for young children (though I don't think hot enough to cause an actual burn), but that as long as you have only one of the heat switches on, it's ***probably*** ok for young children.

I keep mine in the garage, but I've never noticed it getting warm or hot to the touch on the outside, admittedly. It always feels somewhat cool to the touch, even on hot days (I live south of the OBX, so every day is a hot, humid day).

It is almost perfect temp, I had to cool down a little bit but did not burned my wrists. I just don't want it to be too hot but always check before giving to baby to make sure.

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.

That really depends on your perspective :) It gets hot, but in my opinion not hazardous hot. If I put my hand on it and held it there, it will burn. The reality is, I will put my hand on it, my brain will say, HOT and I will take my hand away, no harm done. If a toddler fell against it, they would know it was hot and be able to move away with no harm done, if they fell against it and stayed there, then yes not good.Does that help? Hot enough to be hot, but not hot enough for instant injury.

We live in Missouri. My baby never seemed to be bothered by the heat. The only thing that really bothered here are the shoulder strap pads. But I believe the most current version has removable pads so that should no longer be an issue.

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.

I don't find this gets excessively hot to the touch at all. Yes, it does get toasty, but I can touch the heater and not feel burnt. Again, with small children go ahead and put it up on something so they can't get close to it if you are worried. My pets also have no problem with this, they lay in front, although they aren't laying right up against it.

I got the swing at the end of September and we are in the Dallas area. It has been very hot this last month and though the swing does stay in the afternoon/evening sun, it did get warm but not too warm that I was worried it would burn my 10 month old.

Not hot at all!! You can touch it and hardly feel any heat. Safe if kids around.

The legs may get warm but not hot. I have even placed cardboard underneath to keep drips from getting on the picnic table top and have never had any heat problems. Hope this helps!!

We bought the infant seat and the swing set for our grandsons for Christmas (ages 1 & 3). While it does get pretty warm (we live in Florida)it does not seem to bother them. They play on it all the time. I hope this helps..

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

I'm not sure of the exact temp, but I don't think it's very hot. I cook everything with the slider all the way to the right (hottest), and, unless something is wrong with my Foreman, I don't think it is as hot as it should be.

It is hot, even on low it will hurt a toddler. Great product, but unless is it behind a gate or something like that -- I would be very hesitant to use it around the baby.

I wouldn't say "cool" to the touch no. The heating element does not glow red and is behind the grill so you can't come in contact with it anyway. But it puts out some heat so the plastic grill can get warm. Never enough to cause a burn of any kind though. It's very safe. I have no little kids anymore, but would not worry about them getting near it if I did.Hope that helps.AE
