Munchkin Brica Elite Seat Guardian Car Seat Protector, Baby/Toddler/Child, Dark Grey

After extensively researching seat protectors online, reading reviews, and looking at several of the supposed best choices, no other product could even begin to come close to this outstanding seat protector. The quality of the material, sturdiness, and practical, well thought out design are excellent. In reviews, comments are made about the four rubber pads on the lower section leaving marks on leather seats (although apparently temporary marks that fade away over a few weeks once the protector is removed). I simply put a triple-folded cotton terry cloth towel between my cars fabric seat and the bottom portion of this seat protector. The child booster seat is cinched tightly using the safety straps/latches, and all is good! The seat protector wipes up quickly with a damp microfiber cloth.

A must have for leather seats

Strong and exactly what I was looking for

I will run out of room for car seats at some point but as a grand parent you are happy to have more. These work great to keep the seat protected from spills and stains but they are so thick and sturdy that the car seats dont leave any indentions in the leather seats at all. We take them in and out a lot because of only have the grandchildren on weekends and they are super easy to install. Just waiting on the day when I have to but another one because we get the good news that we will have more grand babies.

I used it while extended rear facing a three year old (I do this for liability and safety as a nanny) she was within height and weight. She fits well in the seat and even though she is 37 lbs and 39 inches, she didn’t lead to the mat making dents in the leather on my vehicle seat at all. No issues. Good quality. Never broke on me. did its job

Received our child seat cover a few days ago. I immediately could tell a difference in how secure my childs seat was on our leather seats. The non-slip pads on both sides with the Elite makes all the difference. The firmness of the protector also helps to distribute the pressure from pressure points from our childs seat. My kids are safer and my leather seats should be kept nicer.

I purchased this when I purchased my new car with leather interior. My previous car had leather indentations from my daughters car seat. I didnt realize the damage that had been done until I switched her to a booster. The indentions never went away. When I had my son, I didnt want to make the same mistake. I have tested this out for 6 months now and it has worked very well! I have periodically taken it out to vacuum and check my seat. There are zero indentations. The extra bonus is I dont have to vacuum under it because it catches all the crumbs. It has a raised edge all the way around the base that acts as a crumb catcher. Why did I give it only 4 stars? Here are the reasons, it sits awkward in my seat. I have a Prius with bucket type seats and this just doesnt sit right another issues, I wish I could get the same color as my seat. This dark color sticks out like a sore thumb on my light brown seats. It also shows dirt quickly. Other than a few cosmetic complaints I would certainly purchase this again!

Catches all the crumbs spilled anything - definitely protects the seat

It does cover the LATCH hooks in the car by the littlest bit, we have 2 kids in a 4-door sedan so one behind each seat. I could get one side of the car seat hooked just fine, when I went to the other side to hook in the car seat I had a hell of a time getting the LATCHES to meet up and hook just right. The lip on the carseat cover that keeps spills in was raised just enough to screw up the alignment and make putting it in a veritable challenge. I eventually got it all in but if we had gone to a safety inspection place for installation Im sure they would tell us not to use the car seat cover. Overall, I like this product, it does what it says and it protects my car from LOs kicking dirty shoes and as time goes on I hope spills. We dont have a head rest for the top of the buckle to snap around, I just left it unfolded and kind of tucked the strap into the back of the chair, its the only way to keep the leather seats from getting trashed.

saved my back seat. did not know about this product with my first. after i removed my first childs car seat from my back seat there were indentations and markings on back seat. this product saved by leather back seat. a must have!
