Durability of fabrics In reading a few reviews of the Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat, I noticed that some people mentioned that the limoncello fabrics are not as durable as others available. Does anyone have a recommendation for most durable colors/fabrics available in this car seat?

I had the Romantic version for my first and we are planning to reuse it with our second. Still looks brand new and we used it almost everyday for a year.

I have the red version. Baby is seven months old and a puker. We've had to wash it several times and it always comes out looking great. (But we always drip dry, never ever put this thing in the dryer.) No wear and tear to speak of so far.

I gave mine away because it marked my leather seats. Not sure about fabric. Sorry I couldn't help you.

The Chicco Key Fit 30 carseats DO FIT. I use mine all the time with two of these car seats. They are very secure as well. I suggest watching the you tube video for help.TIP: Be sure the first seat is completely strapped in before inserting the second one. Seat the car seat closest to you first.

So far we have had this car seat for approximately 3 years and have used it through two children and it has moved from several cars and such. Up to now it has done a fantastic job in keeping our kids safe, comfortable, and happy! To be honest it holds up to all the rough use it has gone through thus far and I can definitely see this lasting much longer than 10 years in my opinion. The only issue I have with this car seat is the size because it is a little large but that's to be expected with this type of car seat. Overall an A+ product.

We inspected our floor model and is doesn't look like the fabric is removable...It is stitched on. Please let me know if I can help you with any other car seat questions.Thanks,Mary734.369.6038

I would think so. I have a chicco keyfit 30, but the cover has elastic on the edge so it's expandable....I would think the Graco carseat would be comparable in size to the chicco and that it would work for both. In fact, I would be shocked if it didn't fit it. I really loved this for keeping sunlight out and the bugs off!

It fits most infant car seats. I use mine with 2 Chicco Keyfit 30's and it's done great. you can adjust the straps to fit different car seats and if you use the top straps it's very secure. we rarely use the top straps and have never had trouvle with the seats coming loose from the frame.

Bought mine Nov 2012, seems to be very durable. Washed very little couple of times no sign of pillowing don't believe fabric would. I have been very pleased with product. Dr. Mercola has some info on earthing now too might be worth looking into.

I would love to hear what others have to say about this. We had this car seat on our registry, but I just read a review on another site that stated the First Years True Fit is the only convertible car seat that truly fits newborns. We're thinking of getting that instead.

This thing is way big to be lugging around as a baby carrier. I'd go for the Chicco Keyfit 30 for an easy light weight baby carrier and then get this when your baby is closer to 20 lbs and sell the other. Its pretty massive. We also bought the Chicco NextFit and we both prefer that seat over this one, almost same price.

Hi...hope I am of SOME help. Have owned the sofa- love seat for a little over a year. For not being actual leather it is holding up decently, HOWEVER, I do not have children or pets. Don't think it is made for rough-housing. Cushions are holding up well. Use it everyday.

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!

Good morning, A.Peck. I apologize for the delayed response. Yes, the fabric will hold up outdoors. The seat is made out of nylon, which is durable and weatherproof. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna - HearthSong Customer Service

I live in AZ and obviously it's really hot here!! The type of material seems to keep the heat off my baby, it's not fuzzy and doesn't seem to trap the heat at all. In fact, I haven't even noticed her being sweaty when I take her out, even if the sun is beating down on her. I am very very happy with this carseat. It's the best!Edit: I got the cub pink and I'm not sure if the type of fabric is different vs other patterns, but it's kind of like a vinyl material, so it is really good at keeping the heat off.

The exterior fabric is a sturdy woven nylon. Where the child sits is a waterproof nylon. The foam, about 3", comes with the chair. Despite the zipper, it looks rather difficult to remove the cushion. This chair is ideal for a 6mo to maybe 12 mo baby. Once the child learns to wiggle his arms out of the upper harness, the upper straps become obsolete. If they had a typical 5 point harness, like what's in a stroller or car seat, then this product could be perfect for up to three years. My son is 20 mo and we stopped using this booster about 6 mo ago. But it was great when he was starting to sit up and a restaurant didn't have a highchair or that a highchair was missing straps (quite common). The exterior fabric is a sturdy woven nylon.

No, this seat is bulky and heavy. It is meant to stay in the car. You are thinking of an infant car seat (like the chicco keyfit 30). The infant seat is useful for the baby's first 6-12 months or so (because you can snap it in and out of the car and into a stroller). After the infant is around 6-12 months, you'll switch to a convertible car seat like this one. If you don't want to buy two separate seats, you can skip the infant seat (this convertible seat accommodates infants and toddlers--but you need to buy the version with "tiny fit"--it's a separate Amazon listing and cost about fifty dollars more) but you lose the option of toting the baby around in his seat. Good luck!
