Stroller color in the sun to hot?

We found a black, white and gray stroller and carseat by Graco that we really like. My only concern is that it will be to hot in the sun. We are having a girl and wanted a neutral color and thought the black one was really sharp looking. So do you think the tan, green or red strollers out there are about the same or a lot cooler in temp. I'm sure it will be a little warmer just due to the fact of the color. Just want our new baby girl to be comfy and safe!

    I have a tan and green one and my baby still gets hot. Even when we are in the mall and they have A/C he still sweats in it. I think its the material its made of rather than the color. I ended up buying a battery operated fan from BRU that clips on the side of the stroller to try and combat this.

    I don't think the color will affect it that much. Most fabric for strollers and car seats is a slick polyester blend material that gets hot regardless of the color. You can place a cotton stroller liner in the seat if you notice your child is sweaty or hot during the summer months. (google stroller liner or look on Etsy for lots of options). We live in a hot climate, and I always put a light cotton blanket or something behind my child's back if she gets hot.

     We use a little fan and I keep a misting fan in the stroller cupholder for really hot days.  If you plan to walk outside everyday, some black strollers do fade to a brownish black from repeated sun exposure, but most colors fade to some degree anyway.

    We did pick red over black, because we live in FL and thought black would be too hot. Not sure if it really makes a difference though. Plus, we have dogs and a cat, so the black would show the animal hair a lot more.

    We live in the Southwest desert and I'd say color definitely makes a difference, as does fabric.  I purposely did not choose a black stoller for this reason.  We actually got a red one....  I also chose a light color baby carrier instead of black, which I would have preferred
