The aqua one?

I can't tell if it's the plush stuff or something different. As an aside, why aren't there any cute boy BV covers?

I'm pretty sure it's more "nyloney" lol. But I'm sure it's great quality because it's britax ETA- The black part is plush for sure though.

Yeah I never bought DS a blvd because the boy covers aren't so cute.. Although he'd probably like one of the pink girly ones anyways

I don't have an answer to your question, but man do I ever love that cover. If I had a boy I'd think that was a pretty cute cover. :thumbsup: (and, if I had a girl later on I'd think it was a pretty cute cover for a girl )

I agree it is pretty cute. It's the only one I like for a boy. I really want the Shannon for my girl but can justify the price difference in that and the Albee Madison.

What about matching seats then? (are you needing 2 BV's?). I have a BV with a Shannon cover and it's adorable. That said, the Madison and Megan are cute too. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

ETA: hey, wanna trade a Madison BV cover for a Shannon cover LOL? )

I think so. I still haven't figured out the best solution. See post here.

I think I've decided to stick with Britax though because I know I like my current MA and they come apart much easier for cleaning. I wash my seats often.

I'm thinking for now I'll put my older dd in our MA center 3rd row and let the 2 babies have the BVDs in the 2nd row. On closer inspection today, Michael fits in the 3rd row without a booster so I can put the 2 non-boostered kids there.

I might consider trading covers if I go with that.

i am not sure but the blue looks like cotton to me and the black looks plush. Where did you find it? I really like it!

If it's like the Plum one, the black is NOT plush. It's like the non-mesh part of the Frontier (the harness covers too). My friend has the Plum one on a MA. She likes it fine though.

I've never seen a Frontier either. But I'm glad to hear your friend likes it.

oh darn! Well, it's more of a cotton fabric. Just didn't want you to expect the plush soft fabric on most of the other seats.

That I do understand I think. The original cover that came with the seat is like that. It's a woven cotton/poly blend. I really liked it.

I have the Marathon in Aqua. The Aqua part is nylony-like a backpack material. The black is kind of flannel/plush feeling.
