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?
ONYX
ZEBRA
OPUS GRAY

@Sweet T: Thanks! 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.

Zebra is not too feminine at all especially since it's not hot pink or lavender. I prefer the Onyx, but all of the car seats look really nuetral and masculine.

@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)

I prefer the onyx. I think the zebra print is not necessarily girly, but it will attract more attention because of the color contrast.

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?

DAng. 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

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 !

My DS is 5 and he just picked out new bedsheets that are zebra print. Besides looking a little crazy they actually go pretty well with all his boy stuff.
So I voted for the zebra carseat

I don't think the zebra is girly but DH thinks it is!

Based on the thread title, I was ready to come in here and say that zebra is feminine, but that print is actually not that girly. If that's the one you like best, I say go for it.

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.

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

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!

... And I wish they sold cowmooflage for the advocate.. That's what DH and I really wanted!

I prefer the opus grey, but think the zebra is fine too... it looks a bit more like camouflage print than zebra and like someone else said, it's not like it's hot pink or anything!

I voted for onyx because that's the one I have.
I like them all!

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!

@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!

@rachiecakes: We have the cowmooflage Chaperone, and plan on getting the same for LO's convertible seat. I can't believe how much I love the cow print! If not, we will probably go for another print like the zebra.
