Does the black seat get hot in summer?

We have an orange seat. While the child is in the seat there wouldn't be a problem with heat because it's very open.

Just realized you said "black" seat. Ours is the orange one, so I can't vouch for the black one.

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.

Well, I have the orange one and heat is not an issue what so ever, special if your child is sitting on it then I guess you should not be worrying about seat getting hot when balck color was chosen specially with all the vent holes that it has...I would go with color that I like and not worry about heat...by the way you'll love it..I got the Plexiglas shield as well that mounts in the front of it which protects the baby form bugs and wind also does not hit his face directly.

The legs are black for sure, and the leather seat is more on the black end. It's very dark.

This is one of the best purchases we have ever made. The black top is not hot to touch but the flame is very warm. I suppose if you didn't turn the flame all the way on like we do it might be alright. Perfect purchase for the NW because it puts out the heat. Hope this helps.

For sure it is! It gets pretty warm in the summer though, make sure you keep vents open!

I don't have an alternative for you, however wanted to say that I have black leather seats in a black car and I live in a city where it reaches 110 degrees easy in the summer. I have had this seat cover for over a year and have removed it several times and never had any issues with it melting to the seats. Its worked wonders and I have one in every car for every car seat.

yes. It has indentations on the surface that allows the hot or cold air flows through them regularly. it is quite flexible for different size seats, and has useful details.

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 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.

It gets fairly hot but I don't recall it burning me. However summer is not fully in swing for me to recheck

No, but if you get the black one, the sun really makes it hot. I love my chair but the only problem I have with the padding is that, when it rains, it retains all the rain, if you feel of the chair it feels dry, but once you sit down, its like sitting in a puddle. So, I have to move it back & forth, out of the weather if its raining, but its so comfortable, you feel weightless. Hope this helps!

My daughter is always warm. It's summer right now in Chicago and she loves her seat! We cool down the car before she gets in when we can but she's never complained or come out of the seat sweaty.

Our summer hasn't started here yet, but we get up to 125 F in the summer. So I imagine they would be, but I have some cute pillow cushions on the seat, so it would not be hot. They are so study, and comfy. I bought 3 of them this month.

Ours sits in the shade all day so heat is not a problem. I would assume that it would get hot in the sun if exposed for any length of time, as would all metal. We also put a seat and back cushion on it, so we may not be the best resource to answer the question. It is a nice unit and seems solid. We're happy.

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.

The interior of my car is black and my seat covers are grey. They do not get hot at all.

Having only used only black I can't answer this question completely. The helmet is vented extremely well. My grandson never complains about the heat and I am told that it is cooler by far than their bicycle elements. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."
