I can't decide on which true fit cover to get! I need opinions. I see that amazon has these three covers for the lowest price (150$). My husband really doesnt think the monet is a good idea at all b/c although this seat is for our girl we have a younger boy and who knows how many more boys we might have! so he doesnt think we should go with the girly cover, but i do like it.... so anyway what would be your vote?

If I had to choose between those, I'd go with Casino. Although I have gray interior and so am partial to gray.

I love Monet. But I'm a fool for all things girly

I'd buy Monet and buy a boy cover seperately

But if that's not an option, I'd buy Casino. I don't like the browns.

I agree! How long do you plan on using it for your girl? Surely down the road someone else with be in the reverse situation and would trade their gender neutral cover for your girly one.

Yeah that's what I'd do too! Enjoy having a girl! Don't not enjoy having a girl cuz you might not get another chance (if you have all boys besides, say)! Get the monet and buy a boy color if you end up using the seat for a boy.

Also, I've heard they don't have extra Monet covers in stock. And even in swap, if you have a Monet you can get almost any cover, lol

I am going to give a different opinion.

I would get Cappuccino. I love that cover. In fact, I am extremely upset that I am getting rid of my Cappuccino Via (while the fabric is different on the Cappuccino Via and the Cappuccino TF, the colors are the same). I think Cappuccino is the most attractive of the TF covers.

Personally, I don't like the Monet cover. I think it is too "girly." While it is FAR, FAR, FAR better-looking that the SKJP Princess cover, it is still too "girly," in my not-so-humble opinion.

If you have a gray interior, go with Casino.
If you have a tan interior, go with Cappuccino.

thanks for all the opinions! I just went back to Amazon to order and the price has gone up again to around 177$ for every color so I guess i can pretty much pick anything now as there is no savings incentive to limit myself to one of those three choices! I still do like the monet but also like misty morning, I have a gray car interior and our other carseat is a gray britax so everything would match nicely

I love the sporty blue. It's my favorite. IRL, it's not nearly as electric looking as it is in pics.

Also love that misty morning.

Thanks everyone! I just ordered Sporty Blue (my husband flat out refused monet, men... they just dont get it! I ordered from the baby catalog website, do they usually ship pretty fast? My daughter is currently riding in our spare seat (seneca) and is really not liking it very much so I am anxious to get her new "lazy boy" installed

That's where I ordered mine from. They have a list of shipping times on their websit and I found they stuck right to it. It all depends on how far you are from their location. Not sure if I'd call it quick, but I'm overly anxious to get my seat!
