It seems too good to be true, and I don't want to spend that much money and find out that they need lots of special care/are generally a pain in the ass.

I'm looking at this one.

any good?

Gosh can't think of something much more uncomfortable to be sitting on in this hot weather - would defo need some sort of cool absorbent liner.... which might then defeat the object of them being wipe clean I suppose.....

There was a "marco sky" at one time - similar style - but not faux or fake leather.

Hmmmm - hadn't thought about the heat option. I'd sort of assumed that it would be lined with something, and now I see what you mean about it defeating the wipe clean objective.

So is the marco sky real leather?

No marco sky is real polyester i imagine. A bit more Breathable than plastic (faux leather) or pvc!
Faux leather would prob be okay in colder weather mind.

Faux leather is just a posh way of saying "fake" leather.. coud be vinyl or pvc or plastic I guess...
It will almost certainly be wipe clean - but be careful with anti-bacterial spray stuff - as this might cause the "Plastic" to crack or split.
Babywipes would probably be a convenient way to wipe it over - as would just a damp cloth - maybe with a dot of washing up liquid.
I've never owned a pushchair made of this stuff - but there are pleanty of highchairs with similar fabric used on them (because it's easy to wipe clean I suppose!).
