Was thinking about the sterling. Do your babies sweat in this seat? My baby boy sweats a lot in the b-safe seat.

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.

It hasn't really been that hot where I live so I am not sure if I can answer your question. I do know that it is much nicer than my Graco and my daughter feel alsepp in it within minutes of our first drive in it.

The better option for the Britax B-Safe car seat is the Safety 1st Clic it! Universal Carrier. I recently returned the Baby Trend Snap N Go due to an improper fit for the Britax B-Safe and after a little research bought the Safety 1st stroller. Don't settle for something that advertises "fits most"...

We moved our son into this seat when he was 6 week sold and weighing in at 12lbs, we used the "snuzller" also and he fits like a gem. He seems 10 times more comfortable in this seat than he did in his Chicco KeyFit. My husband is a firefighter and I'm an ER nurse and we swear this is the most secure car seat we have ever seen come out of some serious accidents, the children are for the most part untouched. The sad thing is I'm sure our son will outgrow it way before the typical growth period. The good thing is Britax makes a great step up seat and booster seat.

Maybe? This has come up on car-seat.org several times. It seems Diono has said yes it is OK, but they had to draw the line somewhere. If you feel your child is OK in the more upright position, then I guess it becomes a parental decision. I will point out, though, that my 2 1/2yo often slumps in this seat when sleeping, so with an 8mo, it might be even worse. I don't think you're going to get a hard and fast yes or no. You could call diono yourself and see what they are currently saying. http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=2139611&postcount;=35

I used the Jolly Jumper Arctic with the Britax B-Agile car seat. It was fine for the first few months (my son was 3 months old when we first used it - a lifesaver), but by the time he was around 6 months, he was getting a little big to get in and out of the little opening without the cover popping off. By that time, I just put him into the seat and reinserted the cover. I recommend this cover over the JJCole (which I also owned, that went under and over him). I liked that this completely sealed him in the cold outdoors. With the JJ Cole, his head is exposed to the cold and the straps on the car seat got snug because of the blanket underneath him.

Hi Sara! No, I have not experienced any overheating by my baby in the carseat. In fact the fabric stays remarkably cooler than other fabrics in my car. I highly recommend this seat!

I did not, but would have if my neighbor hadn't given me their infant Chicco carrier to use. The Britax is a fantastic seat!!! I love it! Very safe & secure! I highly recommend this car seat!

Yes it's not breathable. My baby sweats also. We try to keep him light on clothes while in seat.

It's a fairly high quality seat. How long are we talking? I get uncomfortable on real long rides in my leather seats... Your kid will be fine!

I have not had any problems in the hot weather with this seat. The fabric is great, and my 18 month old doesn't get very sweaty in it at all. It's sort of a mesh-type fabric, and very cushy.

Hi! I wouldn't recommend *over* the bumbo, no. But I would still highly recommend, as my LO loved it. I love both seats for different reasons. The bumbo has been more practical for things like feeding, and small item play to practice finger dexterity since it has the tray, etc; whereas this seat can really only be for play or movie/tv watching. :)

I have the spring version of the RXT and we live in Utah where it gets over 100* but it's dry heat. My LO is 3 mo old and so far she hasn't gotten too hot, however I am not sure our material is the same. My friend has the red ones and she bought this nifty air hose ar babies r us that connects to your vent to give a little more air directly on her girls. My lo does get a little warm, but not nearly as warm as she did in the graco snugride 35. She would sweat really bad if she got upset. There is a page on Facebook that you can get this question answered plus many more. There are over 23k members and these ladies that run the site are professional car seat techs and know so much about every seat on the market. They can let you know how well a certain seat will work if you have one in mind, also they will give you recommendations if you tell them the car u have, the height/weight of the child and what percentile they are in and budget. With that info they can give you recommendations for the best seat that will last you. Also anything you would want to know about the radian, including pics and personal stories. Its called "Car seats for the Littles" there are two pages, its the one with the most members. They also have a list if people all over the country, including FL that will help and or ck your installation of the seat and its free. I never knew there was so much to know about carseat safety! Sorry for the long answer. . Hopefully I helped some. :)

Yes, but our guy sweats a lot from just being a pretty active/jumping baby ... fyi, we live in San Francisco, so not sure what we'd do with him in Phoenix. It's usually just his head that comes away sweaty in the back. Not a big deal so far. The seat is solid and relatively easy to use (we have it rear-facing and it takes a little maneuvering to get him into the seat while also not bonking his head on the top of our Jeep Grand Cherokee - I think this will get harder for a little while, and then easier when we turn it around and he can climb into it himself).

Has anyone found something similar that will work with the Britax B Safe Carseats (especially in price)? We've got twins on the way and I'd rather get something like the Britax B-Agile double for long-term use, but it only holds one car seat. Can't see that long-term, the babies/toddlers would enjoy the front-back configuration of the B-Ready stroller, especially being the same age and all . . .

Well... TECHNICALLY, you shouldn't put the infant seat in the back. I have a Chicco KeyFit30 though, and my husband forgot to bring the infant adapter to the zoo recently. It actually fit quite nicely (sideways) in the rear while my toddler rode up front. I wouldn't recommend that as a regular configuration though, as there is no safety strap like there is in front.

Hi Stacey. I have the black and it is very nice. I am always picking food out of it so I am so glad I got black because it still looks newish. It is not hot - it is a velour type material so it breathes. In the hot summer months Britax recommends covering up the buckles with a cloth when the car is sitting out in the sun so they don't burn your baby, but I think that would be true no matter what color you choose. Good luck - I love this seat!

I have and it works fine for me. Sits baby up good so he can splash around. It does slide tho so still be with bby every second.
