XTSL - Flora or Petal?

I'm really digging both patterns. Even after searching for IRL pics I'm totally indecisive. Which one to get :confused:?

Oh, and any tips on getting this thing more upright than 45 deg?

We have both and prefer the Flora. The Flora is softer IMO and doesn't show dirt as easily :thumbsup:

I have the Shadow cover, but I definately like the Flora better than petal. I could see it being more gender-neutral and I think there's a few people on here that have little boys riding in a Flora RN.



I Agree with Aurezalia. Don't tilt the RN back to get the little hooks on the bottom of the feet up IN the bite. I put mine flat on the seat and shoved it forward from the back while tightening and locking the seatbelt. I don't think I have any pics of that part of my install though.

I have been staring at this pic for like 2 days now, lol:

I really like how vibrant the pink is, but I'm sure Flora would look better IRL. Sigh. This has to be the last seat I get. HAS to. Or DH will know I'm nuts.

Which one would look better against my leopard print blanket/seat protector? (Yes I know I'm tacky, lol :p.)

LoL I'd have to see what the seat cover looked like first. Does it HAVE to be petal or flora?

I have both covers (on my Radian 65 and Radian 80! I have a thread w/ pics somewhere). I love them both but I think I like the petal the best out of the two. I do LOVE the texture and colors of flora, I just love the petal slightly more. I'm glad I have 2 girls so I don't have to choose between them!
I'm not humch help, am I?

What color does your dd like best?

I have never seen flora irl, but I have petal and I :love: it! It feels so nice and soft, and it's pink and bright. But I am partial to pink seats, and don't mind having my car and seats mismatch (even though it is quite lovely with my black interior, imo). :D

I have a petal cover in waiting for when DD eventually starts using DS' radian. I really like it :) I would kind of like to have flora instead just because DD already has a pink and brown TF. If the radian was going to be my only girly seat I would want petal ;)

I always have an extra cover for my carseats so I vote get the seat in one cover & watch for an extra on Swap in the other pattern:whistle: I have Flora & Nitro for my XT.

We have Flora and really like it. It's DD's main seat, but DS2 has ridden in it also, and likes it.

When it came time to replace the seat (post accident) I thought I would get the Petal, since I thought it looked really pretty too, and we could alternate the covers. I almost pushed the button on the purchase, but then happened to show DD a picture of her (almost) new seat. Her opinion, totally a surprise to me: "That is yucky!!" :p I still don't know why, as she otherwise likes the color pink, and she likes pictures of flowers on her clothes.

So, we got another Flora, which she likes very much.

Anyway, if your child is old enough to have an opinion, I've found that it's definitely worth asking for it.

We have Petal (on loan to a friend) and I like it. I haven't seen Flora in real life though.

Also, how old is your daughter? I let my daughter pick between the two and ordered the one she wanted.

I have never seen Flora IRL but we have one in Petal. DD picked it. It's not as bright as it looks in the picture. It is VERY pink though. DS likes it better than his (Ventura cover) :)
