Nitro or Eclipse?

We're going for the XTSL. Which would you like most in a car with gray interior? Exterior is sort of a sky blue, not that that is relevant. DS#1 wants the red one, says he "needs the red one", even though it's not for him. It's for his brother. Which do you like better?

My gut's right! I like Ventura best too - DH wasn't sure. Nitro just looks like a LOT of red. And no hiding it either...

I'm aiming for ventura as well but mostly to avoid mesh. My interior is blue, so no hope there, lol. But while trying to convince DS to hop on the scale, I explained it was for the carseat, weight limits, new seat etc. and he said he wanted to keep his own seat, so I explained that the new seat (XTSL) will be the same as his old seat (XT) but with a higher weight limit and different color. So he's SUPER excited to look at the available colors...I just know he'll want red. Or actually he'll probably go with pink. Can't decide if I'm brave enough to let him have Flora, but that's my favorite.

Flora's my favorite too, but I think DH was looking at me like I had ten heads when I suggested it for DS... And I did end up ordering the Ventura because I didn't want the mesh either. Had it been for DS#1, I *might* have humored him with the Nitro.... I'd be prepared for your DS to want the Nitro too! The name alone screams Lightning McQueen!

Oh, I soooo wanted flora.........but the siblings nixed it and said no way. So, we got ventura. We really love it!

Same here! I wouldn't do Nitro or Eclipse. I've been leaning toward an XTSL, but I don't love any of the covers (and can't stand the feel of their mesh).

I have dark grey interior (and exterior) and I just ordered a Nitro XTSL. I am super excited for it!!! The red is just such a pretty tone of red.

Yep. I was hoping I wouldn't need one til summer or so and maybe there'd be different covers by then--I hate buying something I don't love!

I love the Nitro one we have. I thought I would mind the mesh, but I don't at all!

True, true. But...looks like I may get to buy one I love anyway since DS (3.5) just chose FLORA! I first showed him ventura and he said "I don't want that one" not even knowing there were other color choices. I showed him flora and he's says "Yeah! That one with the flowers, that's the one I want!" DH is fine with it, and I think I am. Course, I just tried to buy DS2 pink diapers because they were HALF the price!

I have a Nitro and I love it for DD. I think the mesh is going to be awesome this summer. I wanted Flora, but we were staying gender neutral so it can be passed down if we ever get to adopt DFS.
