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

I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with leather seats. My wife and I just had our first baby. When I installed the car seat initially without the BRICA Seat Guardian it smashed my leather so hard, it dented the foam (hopefully not permanent). The car seat book tells you that the car seat should not move more than an inch...to get a car seat that tight using the LATCH system (with the anchor points), is a nightmare, and will 100% ruin your leather seats, not to mention it is almost impossible to remove the base afterwards.So i tried a folded towel for a week, which didnt help at all. Original Review Jan-18, 2016: Ive had this Seat Guardian installed since January 5th, and havent had any problems with it at all. My leather is finally starting to get its shape back. With the Seat guardian, due to the rubber pads and added thickness, the base doesnt slide at all anymore and its not nearly as death cripplingly tight. I trust that in the event of an accident that this will not have an adverse effect on the safety of my child. One complaint, in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I do not have a middle head rest, so i need some other way of securing the the top loop to my seat. Fortunately the car seat holds it up for now, but I think after it gets warm it might start to droop down some.

Fair price.

My only regret is that I didn’t get this sooner. It’s durable and saves my leather seats from being battered.

Catches all the crumbs spilled anything - definitely protects the seat

Love it! Fits nicely on the car seat. Extremely durable.

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!

Works well so far. Only critique is it could fit tighter but not sure how they would do that. It slides a fraction but otherwise well made and secure.

I have one under each of the 3 car seats in our car and I LOVE them! They are very sturdy and durable! Once, when my son fell asleep on a long drive, he peed his pants and it soaked through his car seat cover, but pooled in this cover! What a blessing that was! Saved my cloth seats from being soaked in pee! And they are water resistant so I just dumped the pee off and put it back in the car! It was Awesome! I cannot say enough good things about these!!

This is the car seat protector to end all car seat protectors. Ive had one in our SUV for years, and have never noticed any indentations in the leather. When we bought our new sedan, I initially bought a different cover that was only about $20 and came with a kick-protector for the seat in front. When I opened that one up, I realized that it might protect against spills, but it was too flimsy to protect against indentations. It also had a strange backing on it that I wasnt sure would be good for the leather in 100+ degree Texas heat. This seat protector has no weird adhesive material, but it stays in place just fine. It covers most of the back of the seat in my 2018 Camry, except for about 3 or 4 inches at the very top. Even with that shortfall, this is still the best car protector for us.

Love this product!! Weve had them a few months and they are great. I have two of them, one for a convertible car seat and one for a booster seat. Let me start with the one we got for the booster seat. I love that my son can get in and out without it slipping around. The blue strips on the protector grips to the actual vehicle seat and the booster seat. It has a raised edge around the bottom of the protector which has already contained a spill and saved my car! For using with an convertible car seat, no more trying to hold up the back of the protector while trying to buckle the seat in. This one is tall enough and attaches around the headrest of the car to hold it into place. Some other seat protectors weve used lets the car seat move around on it , no matter how tight you buckle them. Not with this one, once the seat is buckled it doesnt move, keeping my little one safe. I would highly recommend this product! Im sure in a few years when my kids are out of their seats our leather will still look great!
