It's that time of year again... Cool/Cotton Britax Covers?

for the Marathon specifically...

I had a mom ask me this the other day, and it reminded me I always meant to make a list. So, off the top of my head are Funky Denim and Onyx. Anyone else have any to add? There have to be more than just those two.

For the Roundabout - these were all 100% cotton (and all retired)

Original Denim
Cool Blues
Summer Breeze
Burgundy Check

Absolutely on retired covers...I had forgotten about bandanna!

Were there any other covers with the smooth poly other than Onyx?

Neopolitan?

I have this cover and it seems pretty cottinish to me... it certainly isn't velour like AF and Olivia...

For the Marathon, the Platinum is nylony in the middle, like the Onyx. Racer is older, but similar to the Platinum. For the Roundabout, Popsicle and Flower Power are cotton.

In answer to the original question, I have a Roundabout in the discontinued navy blue puppies pattern which I'm pretty sure is cotton. The seat expires next month, unfortunately, so I've replaced it, but it will be a bummer to have to trash it. I so love a Roundabout.

I personally don't find the Onyx cover to be as heat friendly as the plush covers. It feels hot to the touch when getting in the car. Right now I have 1 kid in a plush cover and 1 in an Onyx cover and I don't notice a difference in the amount they sweat.

I do live where it's a 113 today & dry heat...so maybe that makes a difference?

Not sure but I think it is the chocolate with polka dots.:) Looks like Neopolitian Ice Cream to me!:p

Oh, here is a pic....

No reason to trash the cover, you know ;)

Oh yes, I won't be trashing the cover. The cover will go to ebay or wherever. I was dumb when my first child's Roundabout expired, and I trashed the whole seat, and felt like a dummy later when a friend was looking for a spare Roundabout cover and I realized I had thrown out a perfectly good one (the old cotton plaid and denim one). Live and learn :)>

Maybe my child is weird but the Onyx makes him sweat more :rolleyes:. The nylon fabric isn't very forgiving and the plush sides where his head rests just make him sweat.

He has always stayed cooler in his Park Avenue BV and Cowmoo MA :shrugshoulders:

We have the platinum cover on our MA and it gets HOT to the touch. I have to remember to cover the entire seat when we get out or the 2 year old complains. Never thought about getting a "summer" cover for it though...

I'm so excited - i got my new dragonfly from ebay today - 56% cotton - hope this helps DD2 - the mariposa is very nice but way too plushy for Georgia in the summer:)
