I always run the air-conditioner prior to picking H up from daycare, so her seat isn't too warm at all. When she's in the car, I crack her window so she gets a breeze. At night or when we are home, I park in the garage so the sun isn't directly shining on the seat, and that helps to keep it cool.

You just cool it off the same way you do for yourself. When you get into a hot car with your child in a parking lot or outside, get them in then roll down the windows and crank the a/c. When the a/c starts moving, roll up the windows. Our infant seat was stained with sweat because our lo was a chronic sweater when she was a baby!!

We lived in South Florida then moved to South Texas. I think the type of seat depends on how hot it will get. Ours doesn't get that hot. we just run the AC, not an issue.

It gets pretty hot here, but her carseat isn't leather, so that helps! And i keep a shade on the window. I start the car before i put her in and will crack a window and blow some air back there. It's hot, but she's not going to pass out from heat in the 5 minutes it takes to get some air back there, ya know? I usually start the car before i unload groceries, for example.

I live in a part of So Cal that get very hot in the summer and I was worried about this, but it hasn't been a huge deal. We do not have covered parking, either. The cas seat doesn't get that hot, just the buckles, so I try to make sure those don't touch his skin. And like others have said, I roll down the windows and crank the A/C right away. I also tend to not drive at the hottest part of the day because that is also his nap time (1-3). So usually we go somewhere in the morning before it gets too bad or in the late afternoon once it has cooled off slightly (sometimes our summer nights can still be in the 90s).
