Britax Fabric Questions

[sueprinter]

I really want a girlie cover for DD. I am looking at the Maration Olivia print (at amazon.com) or the Maration Dragonfly Couture. What is the story on the Couture? Is it made of a different type of fabric. I cant find a good picture/description online. Are either of these good fabrics for hot weather? Is there a good web site to buy the dragonfly? I cant seem to find one.

My other option is the decathalon-Tiffany. How is this fabric. Is it soft. Is it ok for hot weather?

thanks again.

The couture fabrics are only available in higher end baby stores, not online. I think they cost a little bit more.

I just bought a Marathon Couture in Neopolitan for my little girl. It was $275, which isn't that much more than the regular ones at a retail store. The other fabrics were about $269. I think the fabric is nice. Its cotton and polyester I think? I think it will be great for hot weather. You can't buy the Couture ones online. Maybe try ebay though??

Have you looked at the Luau Marathon? I am not sure it is that obvious online, but it is a nice girly (floral) print, without being too over the top. Might not be what you are looking for, but I love mine. The fabric is the nice plush marathon fabric.

We have the Tiffany Decathalon for our daughter. It's very soft, and so far, she doesn't seem too hot in it. It does look a little bit different IRL than in the pictures online. There is more sage green in it than I thought, but this was a good thing for us since I love green.

How do you find where to buy the Marathon in the Neopolitan print? I am in Arizona, and I can't find any information about which stores sell the couture prints. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I got mine at a store called Wild Child in Arlington, MA. They also sold the dragonfly print (red color). I would also call Britax, possibly any specialty stores in you area could order it?

Here is a website that shows all of the prints.
