Britax Cover Fabrics-Longevity and Climate

I am trying to pick out a higher weight Britax for my DD. Any opinions on Waverly vs Sophia? I keep seeing multiple places online about the Paisley seat falling apart at the seams and needing to get replaced, and am wondering if anyone else has seen similar problems with either of these. Right now we are using two Boulevard 65s, a Riviera and a Shannon, with a Huntington back up cover. They are all different fabrics, though I like the Riviera fabric best of all. Does anyone know if the Sophia fabric is unlike any of these? It looks more nylon-ish. Or what the waverly cover feels like? Also, we live in Pensacola, FL so the heat factor is something to think about too. Though I always use our autostart, so it is never *too* hot in there.

Hmmm, I have a Paisley, and the only thing that has happened so far is one of the labels is coming off the seat cover. The cover itself is fine and we've had it for at least 6mo.

As for Sophia, I believe it's plush.

Both of DD's Paisley covers are falling apart. Not a huge deal as they are still usable, but I would not buy them again.

The people who were complaining about them, seemed to be getting sent replacements by Britax, so you could give that a try.

Does anyone know if the waverly fabric is similar to the riviera fabric in texture?
