Doesn't the baby get too hot in summer months / warm climates?

We live in South Texas and our child was born at the beginning of August (so, it was like 13-110). We just put him in it without anything else on, and he was happy as can be! He runs pretty hot too. Even in the winter we had him in just a onesie with the blanket on.

The material is thin and breathable. My DD was born in May and we used it all through the summer. I usually dressed her in a short sleeved onesie.

In the summer I would put the baby in a tank top and diaper and she was fine in it and she's always hot. It worked out perfect. I love this carrier

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 is almost perfect temp, I had to cool down a little bit but did not burned my wrists. I just don't want it to be too hot but always check before giving to baby to make sure.

If it's hot, the contact with your body is what makes the little one sweat. The cotton never felt uncomfortably warm. We were just at the beach and my LO napped in it while i went for a walk.

I don't believe they get hot. My 2 and 4 yr old have never mentioned it being that way

It's fine for summer without the cover - but obviously baby is going to be a little bit warmer being so close to you so be mindful of not putting too much clothing on them. We're in Australia so the summers are very hot and humid.

Definitely. It's a smooth ride. I have a junky stroller laying around we use for outside walks that let's my son lay flat. You can use this, but the baby would be sitting like they do in a car seat. Not really an issue, just a difference. I wouldn't use the car seat for the stroller part in the heat of summer, though. Car seats make babies hot!

I am sorry, I don't understand what you mean by 'help with sweating'? But I will try to answer your question. It is a light cover for mild weather, so your baby should not be sweating. For example, in an over air conditioned mall during summer months; you have a nice quick cover for baby.

We live in Maine so for much of the year we have cool nights. The microsfleece may be too warm for the summer months (3 -4 months for us) but it works very well forthe rest of the year.

Not in our experience. It's no hotter than the basic level of heat associated with a car seat (which, actually, is not inconsiderable. It's not like they are designed to allow airflow.). The piddle pad has a soft fabric on the top, so we've never had her get more sweaty on the piddle pad part than anywhere else in the carseat.

It's 2 layers of fairly heavy canvas. However, the baby isn't wrapped up in the fabric, and there's plenty of room for air flow to keep the baby cool. You may have sweat on your back in summer, but nobody said parenting was glamourous ;)

It looks really hot but my baby never sweated in it. It has a pretty deep neck hole and the feet are open so you could put your baby in it with just a diaper and be fine in my opinion.

It is warm however we turn a fan on in the baby's room and the temp down a little bit and he seems to be fine.

My son has used this for 2 full years, so summer included, and it has never been too hot for him. If you park in direct sunlight, I would cover the seat as it is black and absorbs heat if the sun hits it directly. I just throw a small blanket or sweatshirt over it and it has never been too hot doing that.

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!

Depends on climate. It is a cotton knit of medium thickness, which is currently used in the winter with fairly warm temp in the room. Will probably still use this in the summer since baby may be used to having it as night cover and I'm guessing it won't be too warm for her.
