I can't believe how much I love the cow print! If not, we will probably go for another print like the zebra. :) MsLipGloss on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721987 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 09:09:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 721987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chopsuey119: I don't think it's too girly at all! It definitely has more of a neutral graphics quality to it . . . I think it would be masculine if a littler boy were occupying it, or vice versa! mrs. wagon on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721950 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 09:02:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 721950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have two Onyx Marathons! Boring but that's how I like the convertible carseats to be since they "live" in the car. I like things in the car to be neutral and solid. (Our car is black, our interior is tan, our strollers are fun colors.) The Onyx does get super hot in the summer but we have a remote starter now. Hurray for A/C!

And I wish they sold cowmooflage for the advocate.. That's what DH and I really wanted! googly-eyes on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721559 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:55:33 +0000 googly-eyes 721559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I picked onyx for a boy. Almost ordered zebra for our dd but ordered the sort of turquoise one instead... All her personal pink stuff will have to suffice for girly. Go with what you want, it's not like you carry this one around like the bucket seat! kjpugs on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721234 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:46:32 +0000 kjpugs 721234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I picked opus grey, I like that it's lighter than the black, but looks easier to keep clean than the zebra. I think the zebra is pretty gender neutral but I know DH would be like "uhh no" if I tried that :) T-Mom on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721229 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:44:37 +0000 T-Mom 721229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All my britax seats are onyx! I love it because its not as plush and "sweaty" as some of the other patterns. Even DD had onyx seats.

If that's the one you like best, I say go for it. autumnlove on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721222 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:41:52 +0000 autumnlove 721222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't think the zebra is girly but DH thinks it is!

I ordered Zebra but after a super deal on boring grey from NBD fun zebra is headed back to amazon.

Besides looking a little crazy they actually go pretty well with all his boy stuff. So I voted for the zebra carseat :) pl0508 on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721162 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:20:06 +0000 pl0508 721162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think they are all fine ! I think the fact that the zebra is a little muted makes it less girly. Before the picture loaded I thought "oh yes zebra is more feminine " but once I saw it it doesn't strike me as a girls carseat !

I hate when the votes are so close! hahaha. Thanks everyone! @Andrea: I never noticed E had the Zebra print!!! Wish I could get another "Anna" seat, but that's totally girly :D photojane on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721122 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:05:08 +0000 photojane 721122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I actually don't think it's too girly at all! It's like safari-ish which is gender neutral. How many people will see it anyway? VanillaBean on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721117 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:01:37 +0000 VanillaBean 721117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I prefer the onyx. I think the zebra print is not necessarily girly, but it will attract more attention because of the color contrast. rachiecakes on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721113 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:00:36 +0000 rachiecakes 721113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chopsuey119: I love the zebra :) We bought 'cowmooflage' for my car and 'onyx' for DH's and 'onyx' is so boring! Looks nicer in the photos, imo. If not the zebra, I'd get the gray. (I've also heard the onyx gets super hot in the sun, but we haven't hit summer temps yet) Andrea on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721112 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:00:15 +0000 Andrea 721112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Girly cuz E (autumnlove) has that one!

I like onyx.

I prefer the Onyx, but all of the car seats look really nuetral and masculine.

This is random, but when I first moved out to GA people would always ask me how I like it here. My response "I like the sweet tea.. " HAHA I had never had it before. :) Sweet T on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721091 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:49:59 +0000 Sweet T 721091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think the zebra is kind of girly. I like the other two much better. chopsuey on "Is Zebra print too feminine for a boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-zebra-print-too-feminine-for-a-boy#post-721087 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:47:08 +0000 chopsuey 721087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm ordering DS' car seat in a bit and not sure which print I want! I like that the Zebra is lighter, but wondering if it's too feminine? Which do you think I should get?
