It is after all plastic which is susceptible to the hot sun. But it hasn't been a problem so far this past summer, but as in my review, I placed it on a adequate foundation.

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

Nope, nothing yet but it hasn't gone through a hot summer yet but seems like it will do fine.

Nope not hot at all. Using it all summer with no air conditioning in our house.

Well it's been fairly cool here and we won't really know for sure until May or June, but even when the sun is beaming on it she is fine. She normally gets really sweaty easily.

Depends on the person, but I personally haven't had a problem. In the summer it's cool enough, if the winter it's warm enough.

No. I have not had any problems with it whatsoever and I live where it is very hot!

I was wondering the same thing. I live in the jungle, where normal inside temp is around 85-90. Would that be considered a "cool, dry place"?

I live in Florida & use this year round. I find it to be warm but not oppressingly hot in summer. It might br too light foe winter if you live in a cold region

Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime. But, you can get overheated in these conditions humping with just a pack when it's hot out. I've used mine for a year and a half and have nothing but good words for it. I use it as a day pack with long term supplies in main backpack. Note that it does a great job of balancing out your load making it more comfortable to carry heavy loads. What I do when I get overheated is unzip the rib pack and let it hang loose, drink lots of water and rest in the shade a while before continuing. When wearing it by itself, it doesn't contribute much to your core temp. Hope that helps. Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime.

We live in Louisiana where temps top 100 degrees in the summer, and we haven't had any problems with it. The only issue the seat has, in general, is that the straps don't adjust very tight, so if your little one is on the smaller side like our son, you might have the same issue. We're keeping it safety pinned in the meantime until he grows into it, which has worked just fine for us.

I was in Georgia during September and it was great. The weather was high 80s and there was ventilation... Anything higher than 90 and it might get stuffy

I live in a hot and humid country, and I am using it outside the house. So far it is holding up pretty well.

I have experienced these conditions this summer and it handled well. I also have a ceiling fan that helps also.

I live two blocks in from the water in a high wind, high humidity, high temperature location. Mine is out in the elements in an uncovered seting area. So far so good but I have only had it outside for one season.

I live in a high desert climate but we do get the occasional rainstorm, some of them quite heavy. The inside has stayed dry so far.

Follow up! Despite the cold winter I mentioned in a previous reply, we just had two weeks of the hottest spring in history here, with temps above 80 every day and bright sun all day. I walked along the tiled deck in my bare feet and stocking feet many times. It was not at all too hot. In fact I would almost say it was "comfortable!"

Yes, for us anyway... we live in Las Vegas where it gets to 100+ degrees daily in summer.
