Trade your granite or manhattan radian cover for my champaign?

[Holly]

Would anyone be interested in trading their granite or manhattan radian cover for my champaign?
It's clean and nice and from my 2007 seat. I would just like the grey more because we're going to get Josh a cowmoo RA50 and the grey will match the two cowmoo seats better than the tan. Also, both the girls love the cow seat and want to sit in it, maybe getting a new radian cover will help them feel like they get something new and fun too.
I also have the strap covers and belly pad, the hole on the belly pad that the strap goes through is a little stretched out due to trying to put it on over the buckle, but it still works great!

I can pay the shipping to send my cover to you.

Oh, and if you have the manhattan, you can keep the pillows if you want, I don't need them.

I have Granite and Manhattan. My Granite is currently on the seat installed in my mom's car. Manhattan is currently a spare.

The Manhattan cover is more plush, but I think it has a small rip... I'd have to check. I know the Granite has a few spots on it that would probably wash off, but I haven't cleaned it yet (and can't get it out of my mom's car until the end of the month, she's taking my kids several times this month and that seat is a two-person job to install in her car. I could send the Manhattan right away.)

I can check and see what the overall condition of the Manhattan is, if you want. I think I have everything for it, I'd have to check that too.

That would be great! Let me know what shape it's in, I think I want the manhattan (is it plush like the cowmoo fabric is?) Does it get hotter than the granite? I could wait for the granite too, either way it doesn't really matter. We're getting Josh's seat in August.

I've never used the manhattan on a seat (though it came to me on a seat.) I don't think it's that much hotter though it is more plush and softer. I do make sure to cover my Granite seats because they get pretty hot in summer here (all seats do, even the Princess does!) I'd rather send the Manhattan if you're amenable to that, because my kids like the feel of the non-plush ones better for some reason.

I'll check out the condition when my husband gets home (the baby is asleep on me right now.)

[Holly]

Yeah, manhattan is great, I'd actually rather have a manhattan over a granite, I think the color would match the cowmoo a little better than granite would, and I think the plushyness would feel more similar to the cowmoo too.

[Holly]

Also, even if it does have a small rip in it, as long as it's something I can fix, I don't mind that.

[ketchupqueen]

What it is is IIRC it ripped when I was taking it off, right where the peg goes on it. It's small and it should be fixable/not affect the function. I'll check it over though to make sure that it's as small as I remember. (Heck, if you wanted to pursue it with SKJP, they might even send you a new one, since it seems to me it shouldn't have happened during normal taking it on/off...)

[Holly]

I don't know if they would, they would probably ask for my model number, manufacture date, etc and then realize I have a radian 65, not an 80, unless I just told them I bought a replacment cover.

If it's that tiny of a hole. it's probably not a big deal at all!

[ketchupqueen]

Okay, I went and looked and despite the horrific noise it made at the time, it's not that bad. :) It's about 1/2 cm. long, a straight rip, starting at the little peg hole on one side. It doesn't even go all the way through and a little satin stitching would fix it right up. It would take a few minutes, that's all. The rest of the cover is fine and though I didn't look for them my husband told me he knows where he put the shoulder strap covers and crotch pad.

I'm going to the P.O. tomorrow anyway, if you PM me I can have it out to you tomorrow.

[Holly]

Thats great! Thanks so much! I'll pm you my address in just a minute.
I can hopefully get our scenera to fit in our car where the radian is for a few days, so I can get my cover out to you tomorrow too, oh actually I'll have to wash the cover first then hang dry it, so probably Friday, is that ok?
Ok, off to pm you my address.

[ketchupqueen]

I'm not actually in a hurry, I very rarely actually NEED an extra cover. If it's easier for you to wait until you get this one that's fine with me. :)

[Holly]

Ok, if thats ok with you, that would be easier, then I can send it right out after I put the manhattan on it.
