Do buy carseats to match your car interior or fun prints?

How do you pick out the print or color of your carseat? Do you match the carseat to the interior of your car or do you go for fun prints?

Whatever is cheapest gets priority, followed by what DD has a preference for (although I DO like to match it to my car if possible).

Prints, usually. I get what my kids pick, if there's a choice in cover. My eldest chose black last time she had a choice, though. And grey the time before that. Whatever...

Both? DD2 had a choice between Target's girly MR (the name escapes me at this minute) or the Sonata depening on if DH got a car with a brown interior or gray. He got a brown interior and I think a gray seat would look bad in there. But the Sonata looks horrid in my gray interior van. For the most part though, are seats a pretty much pink so I guess fun prints the cordinate :D

I like fun prints best. I dont have any at the moment though.
I have a sporty blue TF and a red Monterey.

Had an Artic Cat RA, Disney Princess TB, Madison Regent. Miss those covers!

Sort of w/ the car. Gray interior, and we have a GN in Bravo (black and gray) and a MR in Bartlett (gray w/ light blue piping). But, I just ordered a Sahara Regent, so will no longer match. Oh well. Not a biggie w/ me anyway.

I buy whatever is on sale. I usually don't wind up with the cover that I like best because of this. My Sporty Blue True Fit is the only seat where I've ever been able to buy the cover that I like best on a seat. I have pretty boring seats (Mosaic Boulevard, Greystone Marathon, Rushmore Frontier).

We do both?

I dunno.. We had and LOVED our cowmoo marathons for years but those are gone now :( Now we have black and grey seats but it's their choice!

I TRIED and TRIED to get DS1 to pick a red frontier when we bought them a few weeks ago.. it was a no go. And then DH wanted DS2 to have his match in the truck. Then today when we were out getting the XT I tried again to get DS1 to pick the red XT and he didn't want it :( He wanted the grey :eek: So we have tan frontiers, grey radians and grey/black parkway sg lol


Oh but I should add... once baby girl gets her seat all bets are off with these plain grey covers! She has a Portia SS1 waiting (I didn't want to go pink for her bucket) but her next seat will be uber girly ;)

More the car. DD's too young to express much of an opinion, seats will most likely be passed down to future siblings, and I would get sick of most prints long before a seat came close to expiring.

Fun prints when I can. Though I did think it was kinda cool when I had 4 gray carseats with my gray interior for a short while.

Fun! I don't care if it matches my car or if the seats match together. I let DD1 pick her own Frontier, but any other choices were mine. I will let DD2 do some picking when she is old enough. I choose the seat, they can decide what it looks like.

I love the fun prints and bright colors. However there doesn't seem to be any fun boy prints out right now :( there needs to be some in the next few months. DH rather match the car interior.
