Hello!
We have an Espresso SS1 that we used for DS and are now reusing when this baby girl comes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this seat and have no desire to replace it (although I do love the KF30 too. . .) but I would love to replace this cover.
The dark brown on the cover has not worn well and has some white marks on it that don't come off with washing. I'm sure it's from rubbing against our house's door when carrying the seat in and out because it's a tight fit and would always bump. I also hate the canopy with a passion because it always gets stuck on the handle and is really flimsy. I don't mind just taking the canopy off, because we never use the seat in a stroller or anything like that.
I would however, like strap covers. DS rode in this seat at least part-time until 18 months (and about 22 lbs.) and it was always rubbing on his neck. I did try the infant sock trick, but I wasn't pleased with how it looked, or how it worked. I know that I'll probably want to take the strap covers off when I have the little one in it because I make little babies, but I would like them for when she is older. I don't care about the headrest because it doesn't really work with little babies and we just use rolled blankets. I am interested in the infant body support if I can find one I like. . ...but it's not a NEED!
Ok! Who has suggestions? Any personal experience? I wouldn't mind Pink because this is our last baby but it doesn't have to be. . .
Phew. . .that's long. . sorry! Thanks in advance!
