Would you buy a black car seat if you lived in the south?

I live in Hotlanta! lol Sometimes summers aren't too bad but usually they are hot and humid. Of course I have a/c in my van and the house but I had never planned on having a black car seat.
A local baby store here has the Cybex Aton on sale for $150 but it's the Shadow so it's all black. Now the fabric is really nice so I don't think it would get as hot as sale a plush fabric but I'm still worried about having a black car seat. Am I just being silly?

I live in Houston and I have all black seats. It has never been an issue for us...even using a PP PV in black throughout all last summer (those seats seem to run hot no matter what color they are).

Thanks! I just bought a Black/Fushia BJCM and I really wanted an Aton anyway and the black will go great with it.

I think it would be fine. I used the midnight cover on our proride for a bit and DD never complained.

I live in Texas and my first was born in June. I had a black baby trend seat heat wasn't an issue until she started getting close to outgrowing it. I would NOT buy a black car.

I have/had in the past partly, mostly, and all-black seats. I live in Southern California (and previously lived in Texas.) I used a white sheet over the seat in summer when we had a Corolla, but now that we have a minivan that doesn't even seem to be needed (I don't know why, they just don't seem to get as hot.) In any case the sheet/towel/blanket thing worked fine to keep them from getting too hot, and I would buy a black seat that my child preferred or was a good deal, if it was the seat I wanted.

Thanks everyone! I've really wanted the Aton since I first got to play with one, I had originally wanted a different color but I'll take the black considering it's a great price. Plus the new black/fushia BJCM I just bought will go great with it. I'm so excited!
