which cover would you choose?

Cryssy Jane · Jan 15, 2010

Radian XTSL

Primarily used for a little boy, however used for little girls as well at times.
No meshiness, it tends not to hold up in my car.

ETA: Little boy is almost 2 and was devastated when I got rid of the malibu XT

Personally, I love flora and ventura about the same, so pretty much it's a tie-breaker between the two.

ETA: pictures for judi

SKJP XTSL

How old is the little boy, and does he have a preference?

he's nearly 2 and loves bright colors and pink. His favorite seat was the malibu xt

I chose Ventura because he may like pretty & bright colors now but when he is older he may not like it

2BunniesMommy · Jan 15, 2010

I voted for Ventura. My fav. is Petal, but since you really sounded like you had it narrowed down to Ventura and Flora, I picked the one I like best of those two. I don't care for Bentley at all. Have fun shopping!

I am not voting, because I am too lazy to go fine pics.

What color is the interior of the car? That would sway my vote.

Cattitude · Jan 16, 2010

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about getting Flora for a little boy. My DS is only 16 months though and I just don't want him to hate it when he's older.

I like Ventura also but my car is gold/beige.

triscuitsmom · Jan 16, 2010

I'm firmly in the camp of letting my kids pick the colour (I pick the seat of course

). My son has a Malibu Radian and will be getting a Petal XTSL if he outgrows the Malibu before August when he turns four. I won't turn him before then as long as there is a seat on the market that will hold him rearfacing which the XTSL will :thumbsup:

So my vote is Petal hands down.

In the van the interior is grey and in my car it's black and grey.

:yeahthat:

and it will look great with the interior of both your cars

Cryssy Jane · Jan 18, 2010

I've decided best of both worlds. I'm going to order one cover on the seat, and order the other as a spare

TechnoGranola · Jan 18, 2010

Not sure what you ended up ordering, but I would let the little boy choose, then order my favourite as the 2nd cover.

He

the flora, he called it his pretty. The other little boy however picked the ventura, so I'll get both. The little boy who likes the ventura is here twice a week. The other is my godson, and I have him 6 days a week. Currently boy 2 is riding in the CA, but he'll outgrow it by weight in 4lbs.

That's perfect then! Unless of course you're going to need to swap covers 2x per week after boy #2 outgrows the CA. :ROTFLMAO:

Cryssy Jane · Jan 18, 2010

lol. boy 2 likes the green in the flora, just wasn't sure about the flowers. Either way I'll be ok with either. I like bright colors, so I like flora and petal, although i think petal looks very busy.

I haven't ordered yet... I was told about the SK tech program and talked to a c.s. manager about how I demo all seats for ERF since I run a daycare, etc. She said it'd be a great use of the tech program, so now I'm just waiting for my cert to be posted since I finished the tech class last friday.

Patriot201 · Jan 18, 2010

I voted for Bentley, but now that I know that your car has a gray/black interior, I change my vote to Ventura.

mcomommy · Jan 18, 2010

I voted Flora, we have the Ventura and I hate it. I want a soft cover and it is not.

The ventura isn't soft? Oh, they told me it was on the phone. That makes a huge difference. What is the material like? Both boys love the softness of my nassau xt, and hate the fabric on the CA if that gives a better idea.

No it is rough, a different kind of rough than the CA though. It reminds of my parents couch material. I want to get a Nassau cover for it but need to save up the money first. It is not horribly scratchy but def not as soft as our Manhattan, CowMoo or Princess covers. I can take a close up pic for you tomorrow if you want.

which cover would you choose?

favorite cover?

Bentley

Flora

Petal

Ventura
