Graco Nautilus Galaxy cover

Has anyone else noticed that the new nautilus cover (galaxy) appears to have some type of leather material on it. I have never owned a carseat with that material. Doesn't it get extremely hot in the summer? Does anyone else think this could be an issue?

If you go on gracos web site you will see creases in the material in the area of where your childs head would rest. The material also looks a little shiny. The other 2 pics don't have any creases in the material in this area. I have emailed graco and asked about the material. I will post again when I receive a reply.

I see what you are talking about. To me it looks similar to the fabric in the middle of the sahara or onyx regent in the location you are talking about. or just a smooth suede like part. Then trimmed with suede like fabric like on an eddie bauer 3in1. Possibly a more softer bit fuzzier suede.

I thought it was leather too at first glance...now it looks more like a soft velvety material. Or that shiny crap that stains easily like on the Safeseat 1 that Target puts out.

I have heard back from the Graco rep about the material for the Galaxy cover and I will quote the email I received. "The Galaxy material is a blend of cotton and polyester. Some areas of the cover do have a higher polyester content then other areas. The polyester areas will have a "rougher" feel." End quote. So yeah, no leather.

Do you think you will be able to order covers from graco? I got a nautilus this weekend at wal-mart, and I don't hate the cover, but I like the look of the Galaxy cover. I wouldn't mind switching them.

It would not hurt to ask. Go to Graco's website (gracobaby.com). On the left hand side towards the bottom click "customer service", then click "contact us", then in the middle of the page click "send email". They will answer your question within a couple of days.

if we could order extra covers that would be awesome!

amazon is offering a pre-sale one the matrix and with no tax/free shipping, it seems like the best deal EXCEPT i can't stand that cover!
