So I found out that I can get a radian XT for the same price as the rn 80 from hip monkey. What's your favorite cover? I'm kinda leaning towards rio, I already have a granite and a princess.

edit, oh yeah this would be used for both boys and girls.

Update in #25...

I LOVE the Malibu but would get the Nassau because it would be for DS

We have the malibu and the rio and I love them both. If I had to pick one to be used for mulitple kids, both boys and girls I would probably pick the rio. It is fun but still boyish enough if you have a boy that doesn't want to sit in a pink seat.

I like the feel of the Nassau over the Rio and the Hampton. I've never seen a Malibu in person, though.

DS and I both agree, Rio

Eh I hated the hampton one..ew. It's very meshy. yuck. The headwings barely go down low enough for Odin, but they do go low enough. The Rio it is!

Maddie - I think it said it was until the end of the month.

If you hated the Hampton you wont like the Rio either. They are the same exact rough mesh.

My kids love their Malibu and Nassau covers. Scratchy mesh squicks me out.

oh no! I don't want another pink seat, but the nassau looks boring.

I suppose I could deal with the mesh. Any problems with it snagging?

Anyone in the seattle area have a nassau that I could check out?

Oops! I voted before I read the boy/girl use in the post. I'd go for the Rio for boy/girls - I almost bought one tonight but went for the Malibu and will swap out the cover when ds needs the seat in a few years.

Not all mesh covers are the same. Our Crimson mesh Vivo booster fabric is strong (hasn't snagged yet) and doesn't seem scratchy to my oh so picky 10 year old. I don't know if the Rio would hold up well like a Vivo or be less durable like a Frontier.

My Rio has gotten frayed, and it is very poky and uncomfortable, especially with shorts! I called SK and they are sending me a Nassau. While I love the cover I would rather DS be comfortable.

ETA: Oh, and I've personally owned both the Rio and Hampton. Trust me, they are the exact same

Thanks for the info. I guess it's the nassau then. Is it plush like the rn 80 covers?

Never seen the RN80 covers IRL, but it is very plush and soft.

alright, that seals it for me. The kiddos like the plush covers. It is light in color, any staining issues?
