XTSL Shadow vs Eclipse?

Momx5 · Feb 22, 2011

Can anyone tell me the difference between the type of fabric on each seat? I had my mind set on the eclipse, but now with the shadow out I am wondering what the difference is.

Thanks in advance

I have the shadow cover, and to me it looks like denim, only softer. It's hard to explain but it looks nothing like what I expected. The photos online look black, and to me it looks like a very dark blue. Although my husband says I'm colorblind when it comes to black and blue. I was planning on getting some pictures of it hopefully this week, and since someone else asked as well on my other thread..I will post them.

Is that what the Eclipse is? I have the Flora for my 4.5yo and love the fabric. I do not like mesh at all. I had Frontiers for my older boys that were almost all and did not care for them at all. They stained too easily.

My baby is almost out of his infant bucket and I know I want another Radian, I am just not sure which one.

The fabric is not mesh then? I do not like the look of the ventura, but I know I would like the fabric. If it comes down to the way it feels over how it looks, I will choose the ventura, but I am hoping the Shadow has a smoother feel than the Eclipse looks like it has. I am not sure if the Eclipse is mesh or not. I am trying to avoid that

If you mean mesh as in like..the silky/shiny/slick material for like..a pair of gym shorts, then no the Shadow is not mesh. It's definately fabric, but it has a texture to it.

Just a warning... I'm going to make Shadow sound like Heaven... That's how much I just absolutely LOVED Shadow! lol

My pictures are all technical pictures but they do the job!
Here is the black, it's velvety soft.

I am realizing while I'm looking through my pictures that it is really hard to tell that it is not mesh... in person it's obvious and beautiful. lol

Again, I'm not sure you can tell, but not mesh... Reminds me a lot of the Britax Onyx.

Found the perfect shot! You can tell in this one that it's shinier... super easy to clean, good representation of the actual color too...
