It depends on the material. they have 3-4 different types. I've had the Storm and the Nitro, the nitro was a mesh material. The storm is more like soft cotton. Not much sweat in either but mine sweat so easily.

Our son sweat a lot in his Britax B-Safe infant seat, but we have had this seat for about 9 months and haven't noticed any issues.

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.

I do think my kids sweat in this seat, but I honestly think it would happen no matter what seat they are in. I don't think it makes them hot. Just by the nature of rear facing they are sweaty.

My car seat is fabric, not leather. It stays well on the fabric (I have a 83 lbs boxer, he never sits still during the rides, either).

I have the Roundabout and Boulevard in Onyx (black) and the material is smooth and doesn't overheat as much as others on the market, even during summer months. If you baby "runs hot" (mine can get sweaty just from sleeping anywhere) there is an extra-large "seat chiller" sold at babydagny dot com that you keep in the freezer and place on the car seat minutes before putting your child in to cool it down. I have yet to use it for this car seat (don't need it) - it's really great inside coolers though!

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.

I personally have not slept on it for a full night but my children do not seem to have a problem with it being hot or sweaty. The material that it is covered in is like a nylon mesh but softer (if that makes sense). It is extremely comfortable, my husband and I are thinking of getting one in a larger size. I hope that helps!

The fabric is very light/breathable. We have a light green/gray colored seat and I've never felt that it's hot when I put my daughter in it.

I began using this seat in mid-August last year. Their were some very hot temperatures. They had no effect on the seat. The fabric is very nice, very durable, and stays cool in hot weather.

We have not yet used this in the summer time (ordered it during winter) but so far my son has not been sweaty at all - He did sweat frequently in the infant carrier even though it was winter time.

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 get warm during the summer months because of the thick material, the dark color and the lack of air flow through the seat. I know when I take my daughter out of it her back is usually pretty sweaty. Unfortunately I believe that most car seats are this way. Thank goodness for A/C in vehicles!

He doesn't sweat a lot on the Britax Sterling but it all depends on how hot is the car inside, how long is the drive going to be and what clothe does the baby have on.

We're still using it here in Brasil especially when the sun's out, our son seems to be fine, He sweats alot in his car baby seat even with the AC running.. It's still far better than the other equivalents here, folds away nicely and easily, it's light weight and still has room for his things underneath the seat. It also seams to be easier to maneuver than most of its peers out there for the money..

We live in tx, so it can get quite warm in the car. We have not gotten to the scorchers yet but it does pretty good with heat. Like any seat the metal pieces can be crazy hot but the belt and seat are fine.
