Protect seats from child seat

russelldav · 02-12-2019, 11:07 PM

Does anyone use anything or have any ideas of how to protect the seats from wear and tear from a child seat? It will attach using the latch / isofix anchors but I'm concerned that over time it will rub and wear the leather, particularly on the backrest.

I was thinking of a blanket or similar. My missus suggested trying a flexible silicon drawer liner as it might offer more grip. You can buy this in rolls from hardware stores.

There is an OEM accessory as well for back of the front seats and below child seat.

Brica on the seat backs and munchkin under the car seats. We did buy another brand that didn't fit well and returned them and these worked the best.

I have same ones in my 540 and lexus. They work great, but i do have seat imprints in my lexus. I am hoping they will work themselves out when i no longer need a seat back there.

NOTE: BMW leather is not as soft as kexus, BMW Does not have any seat imprints.

we don't put anything under our car seats as they can slip and prevent the car seat from working properly.

we use the seats as they are crash tested - directly on the seating surface.

we do, however, put a cover on the back only of the rear seat (for rear facing) and then a cover on the back of front seat (for forward facing)

With latch / isofix this isn't an issue as the child seat is rigidly attached to the chassis.

PRECISELY, but some worry so much they can never be safe enough. I have some inlaws like this. Must be exhausting...

ISOFIX has a weight limit, so be careful. We had to switch to seat belt and top tether anchor for the forward facing.

Check if your seat manufacturer even allows a protector, if they do then they will recommend one that works for that seat. These protectors alter the crash performance of the child safety seat.

This is what I used a few years ago. They work but you will get dents in the cushions. It’s just the nature of the beast. I had one of my kids throw up on white alcantara seats years back. It cleaned up and a small price to pay for kids and not driving a van.

Kids are so messy and hard on car interiors.

I used these in my F80 M3 and transferred them over to my G05 X5.

Just installed this seatback protection today. I may return and get the black color instead. Waiting for below car seat protection to arrive in the mail

Nice setup.

Does the seat back table adjust so you can reach it or does it depend on how far back the seat is?
