Onyx ,Crimson or Blueprint for a new MA70?

I am trying to decide between those 3 for DS3. I have seen Onyx and Crimson in real life. I like Crimson for the softness but am afraid it will be hot. Onyx was nice but my ring got caught a few times while installing it and I am afraid of it getting snagged easily. It did seem like it would be cooler than Crimson though.
I have not seen Blueprint in person but love the blue gray color in the pictures. Is it really that color in real life? Is it slippery or soft? If slippery will he stick to it in the heat or sweat? Which would be cooler for a little one eho sweats alot in his seat? Which seems more durable? Thanks!!!

My votes for Crimson.:love: I have a Crimson cover for our MA65 in dh's vehicle (see my siggy) and a Platinum cover (very similar to Onyx) in mine. I don't really think one is any hotter than the other.

I love Crimson because I like bright and flashy...that might not be super helpful sorry :p

Me too! BUT I am trying to think of ds3 instead of myself ;). I can't decide. If a Crimson one appeared on no better deal I would go for it though. Any cover would be doable if the price was right.

Haha I just swapped my onyx for cow. My vote is for crimson, just cuz I think its pretty, I honestly don't think the covers make a huge difference in heat....

I showed DS3 cow and asked him if he wanted it and he said " no moo moo, mine be." Which meant no cow, me boy. He thought it was for cows!!! I am also worried he would be too warm in the summer.

I have Blueprint and it is pretty much like it looks online--blue grey--soft grey on outside and then Blue/grey *slippery* material on the inside.
As long as the air is on in the vehicle, my kids don't really sweat in seats.

I want to get a spare cover and can't decide between Crimson and Cow :D

I am not sure about my Blueprint as I haven't had to go through cleaning it or had any spills or anything on it yet.

Is the Blueprint *slippery* part really shiny? Is it the kind of material that would stick to their skin? Or is it more silky/smooth, if that makes sense? The pictures are so hard to tell.

The slippery part is a muted shiny, if that makes sense. The material hasn't stuck to my DS skin that I have noticed yet.
I took a baby wipe to it in a part that wouldn't be noticeable and got it pretty wet. It is dry now and I don't see any marks left from it :)

Well, I ordered Onyx from nobetterdeal today for $128 with shipping! That price decided the color for me. I can't wait to get it!
