First, Congratulations on your new RX and welcome to the 3RX Forum!
I agree with all the above posts, skip all these cash grabs. And here's why since it's the same old story

If you're concerned about stains, rips and tears, get a color-coordinated (discreet) full rear seat cover you can get say at Walmart for 30-50$ until your kids are old enough. Note the rear of the RX is near limo-black tinted so no one will notice the covers but you in the car and the kids' car seats will cover them up anyway. In short, I had covers and/or blankets on the seats for my kids and no issues. The rare time something spilled, remove the cover and pop it in the washing machine. Plus, if you take care of your vehicles with great care, your kids will grow up to see how much you value a clean car and will respect that and better yet participate with you in the care and maintenance of the vehicle.
Today, I have individual covers for my pre-teen kids since I don't mind their look and it still gives me some peace of mind.

One thing to keep in mind if getting a seat cover is the airbags. RX has airbags everywhere, including the rear seat back. I would not put a seat cover on top of these, unless it was airbag-safe.
I have put folded blankets under child seats. You need to put something think under them, or they will stretch out the leather.
