    I hear ya its supposed to be hot here and my son sweats in the carseat. It's hard too bc babies can't say they are hot...like my others. I just put him in a diaper nothing else. I also try not to hold him too much bc I'm hot which makes him hot. Shade and maybe bring a spray bottle. Ugh I can't imagine no ac in the car I'd die for sure!

    I live in joliet. Just south of chicago. I understand the heat. I usually put a light towel or blanket on the seat because she sweats a lot from the seat because it doesnt breath because of the material plus I wet towel to wipe her off with. She does fine as long as she is out of direct sun light.

    they say if its for dehydration just drink water unless she wont drink juice. here in vegas its super hot and 103 is basically a normal day here it reaches up to 116-ish. In my parents car the air dont reach her car seat so im back there fanning her off and have a wet washcloth ready and i only take her in the car when the sun goes down or if were not going to be more than 5 mons in the car,. and pack lots of water- and dont forget sunblock!

    Ugh I feel you on the heat. I'm in st. Louis. Its been hell. Our fireworks were cancelled too, besides the ones in the city. I try not to take my son out. I just got him one of those portable fans for the backseat with the soft blades, even though I have AC. I feel like he doesn't feel it enough in a rear facing cat seat.
