I am getting a Diono Radian RXT. Which cover should I get? Daytona or Plum? Besides the color, the fabrics look like a different material.

I love the plum and would have gotten it if I had a girl to put in it. I do like my daytona one though. The plum cover is softer fabric while the daytona one is like windbreaker material. I like that my daytona one doesn't seem to get very dirty and wipes clean really easily.

I have had Spring, Plum, and Shadow on my RXT.

I LOVED the Plum color and material. It is super soft, but didn't make J sweat in the summer. The Shadow is easy to wipe down though.

Daytona and Plum are my two favorite covers.

I love the Plum (ultrasuede), it wipes up very easily. Kind of reminds me of a microfiber couch with slightly longer fibers, making it softer. I think ultrasuede is my favorite fabric, we have it on our 65sl as well.

For my only remaining RF kid she would not settle for anything other than Cobalt, I like Plumb best but I've outgrown it.

Which other covers are that soft material if I wanted one for a boy? I love the plum, but I am pretty sure DH would not love it for DS2.

My big boys, 13 11 and 8 picked out trekk for our 2yr old. We love it. Soft and cushy. Plus, It will age well for little guys.

That is more purple than I thought. I have two boys and a girl. Maybe I should go with the red even though I think I really like that purple!

While I would definitely have gotten the plum if I had a girl, I really like the Daytona. It's a really nice, bright true red.

I have the Plum and I looove it, so soft and looks to be easy to clean although I haven't had to clean it yet. It's a little darker than that picture shows...here are a couple I have taken of my seat and I think they are pretty true to the color.

She's not a fan of being tied down in a seat when there are toys to be played with...

Re: Daytona or Plum Radian RXT? ETA: Spring?

I have no love for the MySize70 that I just got. I decided just to get 2 radians. I wanted to get the plum for Claudia (already ordered the Daytona for Oliver). The plum is out of stock on any of the sites that have a sale or a cheaper price. I don't want to spend $270 on it.

What is the Spring cover like? Would that be a good girl option?

Re: Daytona or Plum Radian RXT? ETA: Flora?

I have the Spring, same as Flora. It's very pretty and my DD likes the flowers more than purple.

I found the plum for $250 (which I would be willing to pay) and the spring for $235.

Now I can't decide which of those to order. I used to dislike the spring cover, but now it is growing on me. Did I hear that the spring cover fades?

I love the color of my plum RXT and how soft it is. And I don't think it is a girly color at all. Heck, there are several pro sports teams that have purple in their team colors! The boys never minded sitting in it.

My Spring hasn't faded, but if it were me, I'd buy the Plum. Don't get me wrong, I like Spring, but that purple color is just gorgeous.

I decided on the Daytona and the Spring. I couldn't decide, so I waited. I am glad I waited because I found a Black Friday deal emailed to me at 10:30 p.m. tonight. They were on sale for $219! I had to decide really quick and still couldn't decide, so I let my husband be the deciding vote. He immediately picked the Spring. It might not have been the best deciding vote, because he was half asleep. His reasons for liking the Spring was because he likes seats with patterns and that one had farm animals. Hmmm...

I am excited it about my two new seats!
