I am getting ready to get a MA and can't decide on the fabric. While I want to get a practical fabric, I'm in love with Ashley Floral. I figure that DD is so small, she will be in it for a long, long time. So, even if we have another baby, we will need to buy another seat. So, she can have the girly seat all to herself. :)

Does it get dirty alot and is it easy to clean?

TIA!

It gets a little dirtier than other covers, yeah, but it washes up beautifully, I'm always impressed how clean it gets...and how cute and soft it is!

We've only had ours like 6 months, but washed it a couple times, and it's held up remarkably well, IMO.

We've been using ours for a few months now. While the yellow might show stuff a little more, it does wipe clean pretty easy. The material is--Face: 100% nylon; Back: 65% polyester/35% cotton . For this reason, I think it is easier to wipe and more fade resistant than a 100% cotton. I like ours! Also, our seat came with matching harness strap covers--something that most of the pictures on the web sites don't show.

Since I have to get a Roundabout too, I'm hoping the Aloha is made of the same fabric AND that they would make the Aloha for the Marathon too.

Hope that helps!
