Manito Breath Original 3D Mesh Seat Pad/Cushion/Liner for Stroller and Car Seat, Beige…

My 2 month old son was getting sweaty and uncomfortable on car rides of an hour or more that he would wake up, start crying/screaming and getting even more hot. By the time we finally got him out of the car seat, his onesie would be soaked. So I was looking for something to cool him off and this item works like a charm!We have used it a few times now and he stays completely dry. I had looked at B00C9S62WQ, B00K5WAAJY, and B004S8ZW58. We wanted a insert to put this into our Peg Perego infant carrier and all of them indicate that it is used for a car seat/stroller not an infant carrier. We ultimately decided on this one as we thought it may fit the infant carrier. When I got it out it looked a little large, but when I put it into the infant carrier it fit. It looks like this may be able to move into a car seat as he grows. The next thing I was concerned about was the fact that the mesh seemed a little coarse for my newborns head. However, the texture of the mesh didn't seam to bother him.Overall, the insert is completely worth it! I am also glad that this one worked as all the other ones I had looked at were also more expensive. Although in all honesty, I would have paid more than twice this amount for something that would keep my infant from over heating and screaming in the car.

In our heat we were desperate to stop or even minimize baby's sweltering in his car seat and stroller. This Manito does cool, no complaint there.The problem is it is scratchy for a baby's sensitive skin. If we keep his skin covered that touches the Manito, of course no scratching. But that defeats the whole purpose of trying to cool him down. We really wanted this to work. It's fairly expensive, so we were disappointed.There are web cushions for adults that have a springy center and soft woven web covering that do the job of cooling and keeping your back from being flat against the main car seat. I wish there were similar ones for babies/tots.

I bought this because even with the air conditioner blasting in the car, my daughter in the back seat was screaming and crying anytime we drove anywhere. When I would take her out, she was covered in sweat. This works better, but on really hot days, she is still sweaty on her back and sometimes cries. I got this on sale so I would say was worth it.

Used over 4th of July holiday, baby seemed more comfortable and cooler in Chicco Bravo stroller with the pad, it folds up well with stroller so don't have to remove once installed. Only complaint - there is no place to attach hooks at top of pad to my stroller, wish there was a Velcro option to hold pad in place, will need to create something myself so pad doesn't fall on baby's shoulders.

This saved our sanity over the summer. It fit in both the Graco infant (Click and Connect) carseat and then in our Chicco NexFit.Easy to clean (ran under water and sprayed with high chair cleaner) and it actually works. We used this will a cooling towel to keep our baby comfortable. He definitely sweat and cried less
