Does this seat make babies hot?

I have the Roundabout and Boulevard in Onyx (black) and the material is smooth and doesn't overheat as much as others on the market, even during summer months. If you baby "runs hot" (mine can get sweaty just from sleeping anywhere) there is an extra-large "seat chiller" sold at babydagny dot com that you keep in the freezer and place on the car seat minutes before putting your child in to cool it down. I have yet to use it for this car seat (don't need it) - it's really great inside coolers though!

Yes. And it will be in the way of your sitting on the seat comfortably. But the child will love it, and I made the sacrifice of comfort for the baby. I got used to it.

The extra low seat is not heated. They have a standard low heat that you can get heated though

I got this for both my 4 y/o and my baby who is now 11 months. We've used them a few months and love them. I don't feel it's rough or uncomfortable for either of them. We had a britax convertible... that was softer but he got hot in it a lot. And our infant seat was a chicco which was comparable to this graco. Hope this helps!

The heater element is behind a grill and yes the grill can get pretty hot. I just put it on high and the air alone coming out of it was pretty hot, I put the back of my hand on the grill and I could only keep it on there for a short time. I did not burn myself but a babies skin would be more sensitive. With that said I love the remote and oscillation features it also has a safety shut of feature if it gets knocked over.Hope this helps.

No, my face and head does not get hot with this pillow. I love this pillow, however, my daughter uses the same pillow and she gets hot.

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.

No but if your baby can sit up, they shouldn't move much. It's a fairly small tub and worked well for us.

I honestly haven't gotten the chance to use it that much yet... My baby just turned 6 months, but from the few times I have used it I left the infant insert in it (which comes with the seat) and it is a fleece like material and he did sweat! (It was summer time and hot out so I kind of expected it) but when I felt the material the first thing that ran across my mind is if he was going to be too hot sitting on it. The seats material is supposed to be better and more breathable then the G2 I just haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. But I think it will be fine! Wish I could help more!

I live in Oklahoma and it gets very hot during the summer. The fabric didn't get that hot, just warm sitting in the car. Now, the metal part to buckle the child in does get very hot, but it will with any car seat with metal parts.

Good question. I don't think so but would consider it a judgement call on the parents part. I don't have children but did use this product with my niece and nephew. They are 4 and 8. They loved them. The heat generated is hot but not scolding by any means.

As K. Carey indicated, the seat is reclined. The bottom sits up about 15 degrees and the back is adjustable to lean back from about 30 to 50 degrees. But yeah, it has shoulder straps to keep your kiddo from leaning forward.

It does. With the heat that we have had though...I bought 2 of these fans for the stroller to keep my baby cool ;)

Yes, it does get hot, but there is a fan. Mine has never overheated, but I haven't really put it to the test either.
