Are the Britax Couture seats comfy?

[ShannaLeah]

I like the prints better on those and was just wondering if they're as comfy as the regular Britax seats. I was thinking I'd get couture for summer since they're not plush they might be cooler. Are they?

Then I already have an Ashley cover for winter for the girl and I could buy something fuzzy for the boy.

Sound like a good plan?

Yeah, the Radians are not going to work. :P

We just got a dragonfly couture cover. I'd have to compare it curtain material. However, not in a bad way. DD1 had a plush cover on her Marathon and always got hot. It also pilled pretty badly and wore through in spots. This cover seems likes it will hold up much better. I know some of the couture covers have a bad rap for falling apart, but mine is 3 years old and looks brand new.

I absolutely love my couture cover. It is more like upholstery, and just looks so much nicer to me than the plush covers.

I really liked my Barnum Coture (and wish I hadn't traded it :( ).

We have the Daisy. It's really nice in the summer, definitely less hot than the plush. However, it doesn't wear as well. It's pilling a bit and fading more than the plush covers. It's not falling apart at all, just not as pretty as it was.

I prefer the couture covers (I think I will especially like them in the summer). Those are the only covers I won't let M & E choose from, because I want to save them for my kiddos.

I think I have had 5 Couture covers and they have all held up pretty well. The worse is just a little pilly.

I have the gray eclipse couture cover, and i love it! I've only used it for a lil over 6 months though , but its still in like new condition. I used it in the summer, it is definitely less hot than the plush covers. They aren't scratchy or anything either.

Thanks! I just ordered Eclipse Tan for the boy and Sunburst for the girl. :D

I need to fix the elastic on my Freedom cover for Abi (or whoever) to use until August. It's warm here already.

I'll reevaluate whether or not she still needs a 5 pt when our current MA expires. I think she'll probably be ready for a booster then. She'll be 5 yrs, 3 months and over 40 lbs. She just had a growth spurt and gained a few pounds. She went from her pants being long to showing ankles and weighing 39 lbs to 42 in what seem like days. How do they do that? :eek:

Im guessing there is no way to order a sample of the couture fabrics?? I would love to order the Eclipse Grey, but I dont feel comforable spending that much money without being able to feel the fabric first.
