I bought this seat for my 10 month old because we like the convenience of an infant carrier and wanted to use one a bit longer.  I did so many google searches and absolutely could not find a review that had detailed information about the fabric...so here it is!  I was able to look at the regular Onboard Air 35 and love that it has mesh fabric to keep baby cool and although this isn't exactly the same it also seems very breathable...on the black part.  I am not pleased with the fabric on the infant insert and can best describe it as the same type of fabric used on lawn furniture.  I plan to use this carseat for my next baby and more than likely will not be using the infant insert because it is so rough and plastic-feeling.  I live in a very hot climate so the fabric being breathable is very important to me.  The only other negative I have is that the canopy has to be adjusted with two hands and is not quiet at all.  However, it covers much better than any seat I've used in the past.  I imagine that after some use it will get easier to adjust and is not a deal breaker for me.   
<br/>I have had a Chicco Keyfit and Graco Snugride 22 and this seat installation blows theirs out of the water!  The lock off is so secure that even in my husband's car that does not have locking seatbelts it does not move an inch!!  The Snugride used to tip over unless you used a pain in the arse locking clip, and although the Keyfit was better it doesn't compare to the Onboard!  None of my vehicles have LATCH, but the latch straps do have the button release which is a huge plus!
<br/>Unlike a lot of infant carseats the padding in the Onboard is phenomenal.  I can't say enough good things about it!  Not to mention the much safer EPP foam!  This seat looks so comfy!
<br/>The seat itself and base seem very well made.  No flimsy plastic here!  The handle adjustment is very smooth.  The shoulder straps adjust very easily and have the can't do without padding!  The crotch strap also has 3 positions.  All in all I would buy this seat again.  I haven't seen an infant carrier that will get as much use!  Hope this helps you make a decision!

<br/>I found this link on Car-seat.org and towards the bottom there are pics of a little boy in a Graco Snugride 35 and the Onboard 35 and it's amazing how much head-room the little guys has in the Onboard compared to the Graco.  [...]
