Is this a lightweight fabric, I am planning on making a summer nursing cover and want something that won't trap much of the Floida heat in with baby.

Hi, Morgan. I have this fabric, and it is very lightweight. It's very pretty, I think, I love the colors even better than just viewing it online. Should be perfect for baby :-)

I'm in zone 5 and it works well for me. It's a non woven fabric that is translucent. Let's light in but not completely see through. I don't know the exact weight. But it works well to keep frost off, it doesn't keep things from freezing when the temperature is more than a few degrees below freezing though. Hope this helps

The reviewers seem to say that this product is just polyester stuffing. In other words, just as heat reflecting as a quilt. Did the seat cushions that you remember "crinkle"? If so, it was probably a cushion with a mylar layer. They can be quite warming, without actually having to create any heat (such as a lightweight hunter item). Read this review and try the product they mention instead.

It is washable and a little lofty. It shouldn't felt. I would suggest natural boiled wool that you can buy by the yard, that is what my daughter & I made into nursing pads for her. Holy Lamb organics or something like that was the name of the place in Eastern Washington.

I have not used the baby version but on hot summer days in FL I wear this under makeup. Its not ideal but it works.

I use it year round- its a light cotton. I live in CT and keep my house at 67 degrees at night. I make sure my baby always wears long sleeves and pants to bed- this adds a touch of warmth. My feeling is fleece is too warm since it doesn't breathe but I think many use fleece in winter. I prefer a light "blanket" type covering so baby doesn't overheat.

This material doesn't seem to get as hot as others I've seen. My baby has not gotten very sweaty, and we live in Atlanta!

It's 2 layers of fairly heavy canvas. However, the baby isn't wrapped up in the fabric, and there's plenty of room for air flow to keep the baby cool. You may have sweat on your back in summer, but nobody said parenting was glamourous ;)

Yes it is warmer but I haven't noticed my kiddos getting too hot in it...unless we end up co sleeping in the middle of the night. Usually when I use the sleep sack I don't do a blanket sleeper and then the fleece sack. I go for something a little thinner and lightweight and then the fleece. If I put a blanket sleeper on I just opt out of the sleep sack...or I just put a long sleeve onesie on under it all. Hope this helps!

It is very lightweight. The duvet cover is where the majority of the heaviness comes from. My daughter uses it during warmer months without a cover.

Yes, it's pretty breathable. The terry cloth top creates some separation between the sheet and the cover. It's not like a sheet over a crib mattress.

I live in Florida and this item is wonderful! It is just a med thickness layer for added padding to a hard stroller seat. An it provides great protection as a seat cover for the stroller. I didn't notice my son getting extra hot or anything with this item. its not very thick at all. just a light extra layer.

Its a full upper body type cover but the material didn't seem to bother me heat wise. Personally with 2 other kids you may want something way easier, its a bit of a process to put this on and I only have one child and at times I got frustrated. I didn't get to use this when child was newborn, I received it later around 6 months.

This fabric is nice & soft & lightweight & sheer. Using it in between two layers of a very sheer fabric would give a tiny bit of extra 'body' overall. I wouldn't say it'll act like batting, but it will change the hand of the item being made. It washes very well.

I don't live in Florida, but did use this over the hot weekend at SD Safari Zoo while it was 90°F, and baby was fine in it comfortably. There wasn't excessive sweating, but I did also used a stroller canopy extension and that could have helped reduced the temperature.

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.
