Car Seat Protector

[pvo]

Does anyone here use car seat protector for the baby car seats? Thanks in advance.

I would not put a baby car seat on a Lexus without a protector, Lexus leather is very soft and easily damage.

I just use a towel under and behind the baby car seat. That should take care of not scratching the leather.

For those who use the protector, could you let me know which ones you're using and whether you're happy with them? I see a few at amazon.com but not sure which ones to get.

I use to have one I bought from Baby R Us.

Prince Lion Heart, they are the best ones out there at preventing dimples etc. Toys R Us sells them.

It's a very firm material so it does not allow the seat bottom or back to dig in. They come in differnt colors to match your interior.

+1. Good quality, and they do prevent damage.

I have two: one for 4 1/2 yo's booster seat, another -for 1 1/2 yo's baby seat. PLHs definitely help, but they do not protect the headrests, where both booster and baby seat's tops rest on (back pieces are too short). The seats still leave dimples, so once a month, I remove them and have the seats treated with Lexol. Seems to work well, and then in a few days, I put the seats back. I think using a heavy bath towel may actually be better, as it may be more thick and offer a better fit (it depends on the type of car seat, I think).

My gripe is with covering the backs of front seats because those precious feet leave prints all over them all the time. On the other hand, I am glad Lexus made them out of plastic, as they are easy to clean.

No dimples here and I've tried every seat cover under the sun including bath towles, none of them work as well. As for the headrest, raise them so the seat back does not hit them. I raise them, then lower them back down after I put the seat in so that the headrest is resting on top of the car seat.

Put a towel underneath the Prince Lion Heart seat protector.
