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

Strong and exactly what I was looking for

After trying and returning several different car seat protectors, this is by-far my favorite. I have a new car with tan fabric seats, and so wanted to protect the seats from my toddler and his car seat. With his rear facing car seat he would have been constantly kicking the seat. This was easy to install. With other protectors, I had concerns about the fabric color transferring onto my light seats, or with the straps cutting into my fabric seats, but the simple strap design, and backing prevents any damage to my seats. I have had in installed for 4 months now and recently removed it to vacuum out my car - there were no car seat imprints. I also like that it goes all the way to the top of my seat - size is perfect for my Outback, and has slots so you can still easily install the car seat.

The seat cover does its job as to protect my leather seats and hold my child’s car seat in firm and secure. The only issue I’m having is that the front flap that is on the end of the guard refuses to settle in the resting position on the front bottom of the chair. I figured it was just because of the packing and it would eventually fall into position but never did. Good product but this needs to be addressed in either shipping or manufacturing.

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

This is a nice protector. Its pliable enough that it conforms to the seat for the baby seat can fit snugly, but sturdy enough that I dont think the baby seat will leave marks in my leather car seats. A lot of people are complaining about the straps not being big enough to go around the headrests. 2 things. First, if you are using this with a forward facing seat this is not a big deal whatsoever. The car seat will hold the back of the BRICA in place firmly. There is no need to strap it in behind the headrest. Second, if you really need the straps and need to lengthen them you can easily find clips that will fit the BRICA ones and an extension strap in any outdoor/hiking store. They are a standard size clip. UPDATE AFTER MONTHS OF USE After a few months of regular use this is holding up very well. The BRICA still looks brand new. My car is well protected from the seat. I continue to be very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to others. I recently took the car seat out to clean it and the Brica looks brand new. The leather seats in my car show no signs of indentations, stains, crumbs, or anything else. This product has proved to be well worth every penny and is highly recommended.

Went with an off brand originally bc this was out of stock… and it was not the same. This is much more heavy duty and durable. Do it. Go with the name brand

Really easy to install, so far cleaning spill drink was easy.

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!

I like the seat protector because it keeps my car clean from spills and crumbs.

A most when you have babies and kids in the car. Love thi!
