Our local baby shop ( the one I can't stand) just called me and said that they will have Regent's in Sahara the first week of February ( I asked them to call me when they get regents in) and in Onxy by the middle of February.

Is Sahara a plush cover? - The middle looks 'plasticky' is it.
Our MA is "Platinum" and while I don't hate it, it definitely isn't my favorite. Our ADV/RA is blue plush and I LOVE that cover. I REALLY want plush, but I don't know if I should just take the seat because they are here, they are new, and they have them in stock???

WWYD?

It's kind of like a microsuede outer and nylon inner. It's not plasticky at all though. It's soft, and nice, and I think very pretty. That's the one we have in our van and I am pleased with it. I like the Onyx too though. What color is the interior of your car? That would be the deciding factor for me!

The interior of our van is tan, but we have such a hodge/podge of car seat colors, that color doesn't really matter. I'm going more for 'texture'.
Hmmm....I can't decide!

Well, the inside of my Onyx Boulevard and the inside of the Sahara Regent are the same material, if that helps. So if the Onyx Regent is the same as the Onyx BV, then the texture on each seat will be the same (except for the furry black part...not velour, just fur... and the microsuede tan part, but the inners are the same).

Is it kind-of like a 'nylon windbreaker' type of material?

Stop it! You're confusing me!
The Onyx is, yes. But Onyx means different things in different seats. I know the Onyx in my BV is nothing like the Onyx in a DC. Um, that's stupid.
The Sahara... gosh, I think so. It's been a month or so since I've had to mess with it, so I haven't felt it lately. I think windbreaker is the right term, maybe a hit less slippery. But now that I am thinking about it, that just doesn't seem right for some reason.
I'll check it when I get home and reply back, okay?

The Onyx and Sahara Regent both have the same center. They feel like a textured windbreaker.
At first, I could not stand it. I'm like you, I wanted all plush. But now, it's kinda grown on me. It's not anywhere near as hot and sweaty as the plush covers. We've had a pretty mild winter here with temps in the 70's and not once has Ian gotten sweaty in his Onyx regent.

Can you wait till this summer? I've heard there will be some new covers ( including girly) coming out then for the Regent.

Yes, I can...I'm just impatient!
I think we're going to get new boosters for the older two first, and then get the Regent when the new ones come out.

Okay, it's the same as the Onyx in my car. Not slippery like a windbreaker, but it's a similar fabric.
It's also green, did you know that? It doesn't show well on the internet, just thought I'd throw it in there.

Personally, if possible, I would wait to get a Regent until you can't possibly wait any longer. Perhaps they will have a cover you like!
