Can anyone describe to me what the new solid colored fabrics on the new Cosco seats feels like? Is it the same texture as the patterned covers in the store? It almost looks like neoprene to me. Comfy enough for occasional trips and a few miles every day to daycare?
I am debating between the NEXT and the Apt 50, since the harness slots/shell height are taller for my ridiculously tall children and width isn't an issue. Either way, the solid colors appeal to me more than the patterns, but have never gotten my hands on one IRL to see if I like the feel of it (or the function of the APT for that matter). I found the solid red color Apt for $50 so it kind of eliminates the cost factor.
We need one more convertible for when our youngest outgrows his infant seat. Grandma needs a seat for trips about once a week and I need one for my car for daily short trips. We have a Guide now as a spare seat and I have to decide if I give that to her and get myself a new seat, or do the NEXT for her and save money. We had a MyRide with our oldest and loved the angle and cup holders, which is what the Apt reminds me of, but it never fit into my compact car. So the apt is appealing as a cheap version that would fit in my car.
