Does the material make child hot?

I've never experienced that. It has a layer on top of the water proof material that feels like a cotton sheet.

My son never complained of that so I can only assume that it did not. I don't believe he noticed any difference.

It's been my experience that most children are little heaters regardless. I have not noticed an change in their temperature or sleeping habits. They are too young to be trusted with answering the question. We are happy with them and would buy them again.

My son hasn't complained about being hot. I have noticed this pad isn't as thick as others, which makes it hold body heat less. What I love most about this pad is it's ability to stay put...the sides tuck in quite nicely, keeping it in place.

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

It does get pretty warm. I'd definitely put a towel or something over it or wire it to the outside so they don't burn their feet. It doesn't really get hot though until something is sitting on it. I think it's pressure activated.

I live in Oklahoma and it gets very hot during the summer. The fabric didn't get that hot, just warm sitting in the car. Now, the metal part to buckle the child in does get very hot, but it will with any car seat with metal parts.

If I recall, the surface gets pretty warm. Not blazing hot, but you wouldn't want a toddle walking around it unsupervised, for example.

They do get hot, but as long as I remember to drape it with a sheet (fitted crib sheets work great!), it shades it from direct sunlight and we have no problem.

It gets slightly warm to touch. I am not even worried about my child touching it.

It can get hot and I would put it behind a grate or something if this is a concern. It does have a high/low setting, but the 18 month old grandson could presumably set it to high himself also so I would be careful with this unit. The kids like to sit close in front of it for the warm feeling sometimes and I have to remind them not to get too close.

Depends on child's age. I think it gets hot but nave never touched it. Great for night reading. J

No. I had to try it out before putting it in my son's room but it does not get hot to the touch.

I live in NC have a Cowmooflage and an Anna CS and My Daughter is fine. I use the A/C but have never noticed her being hot. But keep in mind under the fabric is foam and that foam will keep in some heat. I am not sure if there is a difference between the epp foam and Styrofoam in keeping in heat. I don't have tinted windows either.

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.

It does not get too hot. We live in south Florida and I have never even had the thought that my baby is hot. It's not very thick, so I don't really think there is much of a difference btw the liner and if the baby wasn't on the liner. Hope that helps

We have the pink and black one. I was worried my baby would get too hot during the summers when it gets above 100 deg. It was great though...the material didn't absorb much heat like I thought it would. Our baby seemed to always stay cool in it.

It isn't loud. However, if toy are looking to run it for more than a few minutes, it does get quite hot.

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

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.
